Buying used JUST for the "Fuck You" to EA. You've fucked Bioware. You've fucked Dead Space. You fucked Shadows of that Damned by not promoting it. You've fucked everything you've touched.
Time to fuck you back EA.

The real problem here is that EA has to change their way of operating, cutting the crap with stupid promotion stuff(sending Mass Effect 3 copy in the space...?) and cut their cost and operate better....There is a reason why they were voted one of the worst company of 2001 and all the consumer are unhappy with them...
Seriously a Game has to neet 300.000.000 US $ (considering 5 million 60 dollas a game) to be successful? Even if development cost are 100.000.000(huge exasperation) then you have like 200.000.000 for operative cost promotion marketing etc and you can make a profit with that????EA really sucks as business we need a better and serious and more committed big video game publisher!

I'll give them a chance cause I trust Visceral but man let me tell you, I'm beginning to understand why EA got voted worst company in America. You better not fuck this up EA. Remember, it's a horror game not an action game. No one who played the first two said to themselves "gee I wish there was a cover mechanic so I could have people shoot at me." Fucking NO ONE!!
What the fuck is with the insane expectations as of late? According to VGChartz (which I can't claim is accurate) the Dead Space franchise as a whole (DS1, 2, Extraction, Ignition and the DLC Severed) has sold 6.5 million copies.
I don't understand how EA can expect the third game to reach such insane numbers when the entirety of the franchise has "barely" reached that milestone as a whole.
Regardless, I'm buying the game because it's fucking Dead Space... but I'm becoming fearful that we're heading towards a 1983 level market crash. Publisher's expectations are climbing higher and higher despite the fact we're in a global recession.

Dead Space is one of the best new IP of this generation and Visceral are a great Studio just change publisher pls........
I loved Dead Space 1 and Extraction, only played a bit of my friends DS2. I read the comics, watched the film, played a website game for Dead Space, so I'm well versed in the lore and the setting. I'm a little worried at the direction DS3 is going in, and to be fair this is the type of shit that makes gamers hate EA, but I think that I won't dismiss this game quite yet. I really hope they take more elements from Dead Space 1, such as more open levels where you can go back and revisit places and find hidden rooms and such. Dead Space 2, although very cinematic, felt super linear to me.
Because....Dead Space 1 & 2 didnt?
Honestly, I don't see the big deal. A third-person shooter series gets another iteration. They never were horror games in the first place.

The trailer looked like they finally accepted that Dead Space is more thriller than horror.
Dead Space excelled in being suspenseful.

I lost my faith after that E3 demo. If it had been a separate co-op campaign, I probably wouldn't have cared, but to find out that the section they played at E3 was the single player being played in co-op? Ugh. No horror whatsoever. Looked like Lost Planet with Gears brofest shit. No thanks. In comparison, Dead Space 2's demo was terrifying and amazing, yet it wasn't that scary of a game, yet it still spooked you. It had just the right amount of horror and Hollywood action set piece moments.
the subtext here is that EA intends to not only sell DS3 to as many people as possible, but also intends to churn out sequels year after year regardless of whether they are appropriate or not.
i liked dead space, but not so much that i can't sit back and call this business as usual. in a general sense though, i hope every publisher goes broke and no developer ever has to deal with them ever again. fuck you EA, and the rest too.

Yeah! Because it worked out great for Mass Effect and bringing in new people on the 3rd fucking game.
Dead space 2 had allot more action in it than dead space 1, and everyone still loved it, I think people just need to calm down and enjoy their passtime.
OH MY GOD WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE!!!
I do think the human enemies are a good thing, though. Just as long as it's still mostly necromorphs you'll be fighting.

They ain't alone!
Which one of these is not like the other? Is it the one that was already making bank on digital services?

LOOKIN forward to playin this with my lil bro after lovin the first one Nothin wrong with more coop games exclucive sp gets boring fast
Welp. Now I'm worried. This reminds me of the Slurm episode of Futurama:
Bender: I can't see! Are we boned?
Leela: Yeah, we're boned.
Bender: I can't see! Are we boned?
Leela: Yeah, we're boned.
Duh.... If DS2 was any indicator, DS3 will be nothing like 1, and more like everything else. I'm sure Dead Space 4, 5, 6 and 7 will be cool, too...
I have hope because Dead Space is my favorite franchise but to be honest, it's false hope. I don't know what the final product of DS3 will be like but everything that I have read and seen has already turned me off.
I hate you EA.

No one should be surprised or upset. This is what EA does. They're an IP monetizing company, not a video game company.
If you don't like it, start buying "mid-shelf" games with great gameplay and slightly worse production values, and don't buy their AAA blockbuster sequels if they depart from what made the original good. The market will respond.
But as long as you keep demanding bleeding edge graphics and full voicing for every NPC, this is what is doing to happen.

Not really about what games came out so much as the number of games being released. When budgets ballooned, publishers either had to toss away their tried and true method of selling games (throw money at them), or just make less games. Less games means less money, and more emphasis on alternative revenue streams (read: DLC, digital services).

Well, I have faith in Visceral bringing me the goods. I was pretty happy with both DS1 and DS2 for what they were. I really enjoyed DS2's eye drill scene and the new enemies that kept me on my toes. If they can deliver more of that and more story like DS2 did, I'd be fine. I really liked the story behind both games but DS2 really surprised me with the narrative that went on between Isaac, Stross, and Ellie, so more of that is good. I just hope the story and co-op character in DS3 is done just as well as that and has the capacity to push the narrative and not turn it into a "bro" experience as some of us are fearing it will be.
I love the first two DeadSpace games but am very skeptical of the third, having seen videos from E3. They couldn't have done more to turn me off on the series.
While it is worrisome, I think the worst aspect of this is that they said they need to sell 5 million to continue the series. What BS is this seriously. No wonder so many companies are going under. I say lessen the graphics and lower the amount of members on the development team. There is no way any company can sustain itself with minimum sales for it's games at 5 million
If anything they should go in the opposite direction into tighter, more horrifying scenarios. The game industry has a disease.
