Why people? Why?
EA has already said, "Yeah, Dead Space 1 and 2 were too scary, so we are toning it down." On top of that, their DRM and DLC BS over the past few months should have soured everyone.
Why are you encouraging bad behavior with more money?

I'm surprised but I'm not surprised. If I get this it will be from the used section way down the line. I bought deadspace 1&2 new after price drops. Both were great games but and I'm sure # 3 will be fun but I have no use for coop and it's gone so much farther in the shooting category it's losing my interest.
Well, broader audience or not I'm going to buy this the same way I bought the other 2: on sale for under €10.
Michael Pachter opened his office door and called for his PA. Behind him was a thick trail of curling smoke. He'd told the wife that he quit the cancer sticks, but he didn't tell her that the Cubans made some damn fine cigars.
"Miss Anderson!" he cried. "Tell the GTTV film crew to get their sweet asses over here. I feel like stating the obvious today! You know, something about this Dead Space thing."
"Anything else?" She asked.
"Yeah, tell my wife that I love her. Now put your panties on and make me a tall glass of coffee."
She obligied with supernatural reflexes. Now there was a woman who didn't care much for the feminist issue.
It's no secret Pachter loved telling the ladies what to do. He never met a woman who didn't go weak at the knees when it came to the finanical analysis of videogames.

EA is now officially delusional. It almost seems like EA is a group of 3 old greedy men living in a steel box with no windows or contact with the outside world. They make up their own truths it's hilarious. Next they'll say 21 million fans asked for Dead Space 3 to be playable using Origin only.
I really want to believe there is still an atmospheric single player focused experience in Dead Space 3 that they just haven't shown us, but every comment about 'broader audiences' makes me less confident that it will.
It's rare I feel the need to jump on the hatewagon, but unless they show us some gameplay that resembles Dead Space 1 and 2, then I'll likely just buy 3 used or at an extremely steep discount a few months down the line.

Game publisher tells you they're going to strip your game in favor of broader audiences
Pre-order anyway
That'll teach em to mess with your favorite franchises gamers!

I'm in a rather foul mood today so I'll try not to degenerate into calling things cunt whore bitches and whatever my lizard brain feels like shitting out. Deep Breath. I don't think the co-op mode and toned down horror helped pre-orders. I think what helped pre-orders was Dead Space and Dead Space 2 being great games.
That being said, white people are fucking tripping hard.

So its official? I can only enjoy the first or second iteration of an ip before it loses its identity and becomes a generic bullshit moneymaking machine? That... Kind of sucks.
It's funny/sad when I have to explain to people why I won't be buying a game they were looking forward to playing.

Its okay to slap familiar names onto new games. But when you start putting new features into already existing games, its apparently bad.

@Stevil- That was awesome. Just play devil's advocate however, remember that the reviled co-op play is optional, supposedly. I don't think what Dead Space needs is to become a buddy-story like RE5. BUT we don't know anything about how the single player story plays itself out either, so I'll be restraining my nerd-rage for now. As for this pre-order business, well, pre-ordering anything is pretty stupid from a consumer perspective and I refuse to play that game.
@Stevil Ha ha, oh Stevil, that was amazing.
Like Occam said I think it's probably more related to Dead Space 1 and 2's success than changes they've made with 3 necessarily - I don't think we'll really know how well co-ops received till it's reviewed and people get a chance to play it.

Pretty much what Legendhead said. They played DS1 and DS2 and loved 'em, so they figure it's safe to assume that DS3 will be good too.
And you know what? For most of them/us, it probably will be.

EA's decisions have no bearing on what the majority of people do. That said, the friendly Gamestop employees seem to be gushing over co-op with this sequel, despite RE5, so the ground floor grunts are definitely pushing this hard.
Oh boy, here we go.
I can see EA now: "They loved all our changes in Dead Space 3, so we're just going to make some more slight changes that every fan requested, like making Dead Space 4 set in World War 2. With human enemies only! Oh, and it's now a platformer. And it's Origin only. Have fun!"

Would you people like some cheese with your whine?
Dead Space was never scary it was all about the atmosphere and the universe they created. It's why I played Dead Space Extraction and loved every minute of it just to get more absorbed into that world.
Co-op is the only thing I can add to make this the greatest experience ever with an open world and dungeons with loot? What the fuck is wrong with you people, how can you not be frothing at the mouth?
I know I will have to deal with Orgin and all the pain that involves, but I don't really care since it's Dead Space motherfuckers!

Are the industry suits trying to create a market where they establish hard-core rep with the hard-core players and then use that rep to sell out?? Is EA's Dead Space copying Capcom's Resident Evil sell-out? Fuck the suits for making me think such dastardly thoughts. Worst era in gaming history.
I'm guessing it has to do more with the fact that they're trying to make it look as much like Battlefield as possible without calling it Battlefield. What with the gameplay demos so far showing Isaac spraying more bullets than your average shmup, and look at this fucking box art. 
The casual audience is so easily manipulated

Well that kind of broke my post, but you get the idea. Although honestly and unfortunately, coop probably WAS part of the reason sales were up. Every day single player games lose more ground to damn multiplayer modes.
And no, it's not fucking optional if some content is coop exclusive.

"We believe the new co-op gameplay feature is attracting a lot of attention and a broader audience,"
fuck yeah, now im interested, i really hope the controls dont suck!!!! i fucking hate cover based bullshit games because of this!!!!!

I know it's suppised to be drop in/drop out co-op but will their be a split screen co-op option? I'll welcome split screen wherever it shows up since it doesn't come along much at all these days.
Yeah, never mind that the game looks amazing and so much bigger then the other two.. Yeah its *all* because of the co-op...
There they go, giving EA enough fodder to justify their perversion of everything good into Generic Shooter #6234358 because of "broader audience" numbers in pre-orders.
I'm not trying to be a hipster, but FFS people. Either develop some taste for higher quality stuff or GTFO. You're enabling these assholes to ruin the industry.

Well its official. The game industry has AIDs. I doubt it has the money to cure it like Magic Johnson either. No, our industry will wither away in a few years like Freddy Mercury did. Soon after release, we will hear how DS3 only sold 3 million copies when it needed to sell 5 to break even. Another dev will be shut down and its ashes scattered in the wind while Kansas plays in the background. We will shed tears for this. Then half of us will buy into the next bs game anyway. Lather, rinse, repeat and then die.
@Phil: Don't forget that before all that the fantards and EA will blame piracy first for the lack of sales and not their gutting of a franchise.
FFS sake, why don't they just make the same game every year and... oh yeah, they do that already.
fuck i hate EA.
fuck i hate EA.
I'm going to buy this day one and totally enjoy myself. The last game was leaps and bounds better than the first, and with the addition of dungeons and an interesting new way of putting in co-op, I can see myself getting a lot more bang for my buck. Visceral Games is a fantastic developer, and they have proven themselves time and time again, but if you disagree, that's fine. EA is saying the stupid shit, not the developer, and all of you guys need to learn to differentiate between the two. Dead Space games aren't coming out "every year," and if you think they are, you're just a liar. EA might be the dumbest shit ever, and this is pretty much their only good developer, but don't be assholes and claim it's okay to hate this because EA funded it. If you're okay with buying products manufactured by slave children and designed by Nazis, or Fez, you can overlook EA funding this.
@Fear: Visceral is an incredible dev imo. An incredible dev shackled to a cancer on this industry. I personally think boycotting an entire publishers catalog is fucking stupid. Buy the games you want and avoid the ones you don't. It's pretty fucking simple. My butthurt is aimed at extravagant budgets, unrealistic expectationsand moronic consumers who enable asshole practices by publishers.These things and many more are killing this industry.
Buying this one from the used rack, if at all. I have no need for the coop. This is the one game I was excited to hear about this year, and they shit on it by throwing in coop, and making it more "accessible". Thanks for fucking over the fans that got Dead Space to where it is today EA...thanks a bunch...fucking assholes...
After an ". . . investor call proved that EA is lying to make themselves look good. Scratch that, not even good. If they have to lie to say they're below expectations, just imagine how bad they're really doing."
I call bullshit on these bullshit stats.

i would expect all pre-orders to be far greater than that of a couple of years ago. it is just something people do more of now-a-days.
would love to see the numbers on other games

Fuck you, EA. Keep your nose out of the videogame industry. You would be better suited to waste-management or something else equally fitting and poetic.
