When Skyrim sold 10 million copies you just knew someone was going to copy elements from it into new games.
Hate to be "that guy" but every news about this game makes me more worried about it.
I don't like the open world/dungeon structure for dead space, actually I don't like the open planet at all, this is too much lost planet for me, and lost planet wasn't an interesting game for me.
Still, can't judge until I've played it.

Will I be allowed to play though solo as Issac and agian as Carver? I'm really not sold on this co-op idea.
Watched a bunch of gameplay footage a while back. If this is survival horror I'm a unicorn broney with a blue star on my ass.
This actually sounds like a smart idea... assuming the dungeons are scary/challenging enough. The idea of an area you know you can skip, but decide to go through anyway seems like it would fit pretty well into the survival horror genre.
"I only have a couple healing items and am low on ammo... can I survive long enough to find the reward?"
It could be great. But considering they're adding co-op because "single player is too scary" makes me think it won't be as great as I'm picturing.

well its starting to sound like a fun action game.
But im gonna miss the tense sci fi game... the less you seem to be in space the worse it is. Becuse space is the best place to set anything in.

Every new bit of info makes me less eager for this game.

Still haven't figured out why the space isn't working, huh?

You know, I never really though of it before....but it must suck to be a zombie. I mean, look at him.
If EA and Konami want to turn Silent Hill and Dead Space into action games, more power to them. Sadly, it can't be denied that's where the money is, at least in North America.
I just wished they would just say so instead of treating us like morons and. At least Capcom doesn't lie about its aspirations for RE.

@UltorOsacariot
Yeah, why not? Capcom has shown that you can call a run and gun action game with a co-op partner and zero horror in it 'Resident Evil' and make money, so it stands to reason that EA would turn Dead Space into a run and gun action game with a co-op partner and zero horror in it and expect to make money.

I just found out this game won't have split-screen. This means i won't be purchasing the game. Completely irrelevant to the topic and to everyone here but i wanted to voice my sadness...Does the majority of gamers really not value a more hands-on approach with their friendships?
Well, I'm still interested in this, despite EA's alternating waves of bullshit marketing and blundering. I'm sure I'll get around to playing this... as soon as I finish Dead Space 2...
"In fact, there will be some dungeons only available when you're playing co-op as it relates more to Carver, the second playable character's backstory."
Fuck you too, EA.
Fuck you too, EA.
go to an EA meeting and take a copy of bullshit bingo with you.
you'll be shouting bingo before the meeting even starts.

They just want to shove online passes down people's throats. Honestly, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people don't play multiplayer games locally, as seems to be the case when people act like I have no friends because I still haven't played Portal 2's coop, but then suddenly when the PSN went down, there were a lot of people complaining about how they couldn't play half of the game. Welcom to my world, I can't believe people put up with this, it makes me wonder how games like SSBM with only local multiplayer were ever successful with gamers nowadays being so online addled.

So basically we are getting the mercenaries mode from resident evil. Here's the shitty part, I really like mercenaries mode (the only redeeming part to re5) and after having played thru dead space 2 multiple times, I could totally see myself wanting to play an arcadey, enemy wave based mini game after the fact.
But as onered already stated, its just a checklist of shit to include to help sell it to a larger market, which kind of waters down what makes the game so special.
Tek is torn.
Ah, who am I kidding, its going to be origins only and even the resurrection of the battlefield franchise couldn't get me to install that gussied up piece of malware on machine. Thanks for that btw, ea, you guys can eat all the dicks.

@Ilhort het:
1) Because it was a party game.
2) Because it was a fighting game.
3) Because Super Smash Brothers was popular in itself.
It's also not like the gaming industry was totally different in 2001. Not like that at all.

It was sounding interesting until I read this: " In fact, there will be some dungeons only available when you're playing co-op as it relates more to Carver, the second playable character's backstory."
I would like to experience the "entire" game "alone"! I have zero interest in COOP when it comes to Dead Space. None. Too lock content behind multiplayer is just more typical EA bullshit. Can they fuck the medium more than they already have? You can count on it.

Aren't horror games supposed to be linear? That's kinda part of the scare, because it forces you to push on.
I really like the idea of optional dungeons, because that just makes them mandatory for me. I do not like that some will only open up if playing co op. I get the appeal of co op, but it sounds like they are making some locked to it so they can claim how much better the game did after adding it.
Hmm...
-Broken down space ship. Check
-Necromorphs. Check
-Tight spooky hallways. Check.
Please, remind me exactly how this doesn't sound just like another Dead Space game?

"Steve Papoutsis told me that the purpose of the dungeons is to "create a deeper experience for people.""
whelp i can see where the DLC/pass will fit in.
but the idea of risk searching that area and possibly dying, or just move on with the story is pretty cool i guess. but also makes you wonder, can you go back?

@seph
Basically what tekbunny said, except to elaborate, by humans, tek means they're human enemies. In previous Dead Space games there were only Necromorph enemies. In Dead Space 3 there will be human ones with guns shooting at you. In other words, through that Dead Space gains something that makes it closer to a generic shooter and less like, well...Dead Space.
At its soul, it's another Dead Space game, but the big issue everyone has is that EA is basically fucking everything up by adding things the game doesn't need that actually makes it less like Dead Space. Not only that, but on top of that, every reason they give for these changes makes them sound stupid as hell. Case in point: EA says they put coop in because people said 'Dead Space Single Player is too scary and it would be less scary if they had coop'. That's total bullshit. EA made that up in a ridiculous attempt to justify a decision that no sane person would make. Just another wonderful series EA is trying to fuck up by making it as generic as possible and taking away everything that made the series fun and unique in the first place.
Now I made myself sad.

So if I read that correctly...they want to add extra content for "hunter gatherer" types to explore...but even then you can't see all of it unless you're playing co-op.
Oh em gee! EA adds more optional areas to the game, and people cry foul. "EA sucks, they're making the game longer!" Gamers man, I swear.
So now we have a large group complaining about how it won't be scary and thus not Dead Space, another group saying that these dungeons mean it will be exactly like the other two and thus creatively dead, another saying that an optional dungeon with prizes means it's copying Skyrim, some people still going back to Lost Planet (honestly I'll take this as Lost Planet 2 over what I got), another group angry at EA in general, still another angry over online passes and/or the lack of splitscreen, and I'll bet I missed a few other groups too.
When the hatedom becomes as convoluted, contradictory, and diverse as the fandom, you at least know you've achieved something.
Anyways, I really can't say if I'm excited or not about the game. The first game wasn't too good for me and I honestly I played the second game on the lower difficulties, so it was kind of an action game anyways for me, but I still loved it.
As for co-op, I honestly think a better idea would be for Visceral to let us choose one of four characters to be at the start (since I'm pretty certain there are 3 survivors plus this new guy from all the previous games), and then if we want to join into another person's game who isn't playing as the same character we could do that instead of the join-ee automatically getting stuck with the new character. I'd have no problem with this demi-MMO setup.

I never really enjoyed the whole 'item collecting' aspect of the earlier games so this is something of a turn-off. I hope there's a demo before it comes out.
@Jonathan Holmes
10 to 1 its because Co-op isn't mandatory either. This looks like another tacked on reason (even if it turns out good and fun) to say "hey, co-op was a good idea, wasn't it guys?"
My problem is that you don't naturally explore EVERY possible room and area of a Dead Space game, given how they're pretty linear, with a lot of places and spots that just blend in, so how will we know we're even missing a whole "dungeon" unless they stick out like a sore thumb.
At the same time, what if we don't want to do them right that second? What does that mean exactly for being able to go back to locations we've already been to?
Either way, I like dungeon crawling and love Dead Space, so this sounds fun. Just have some concerns about the execution.
@Joe Ess
Games been in development far longer then Skyrim's been out.. EA's obviously looking to extend a game people can finish in about 6 hours. They must have realized they screwed up with Dead Space 2's PVP junk and went a different route. Except co-op in a game thats 6 hours long would probably make the game 3 hours long, so they needed buffer to extend the experience.
Although that makes me also wonder why they didn't try to nudge Bioware to do this with Mass Effect 3 (unless they did and Bioware didn't do it) "dungeon" areas, even planets, would have been kind of great for that game, given it had a bunch of holes in its plot when it came to other things going on in the Galaxy over its spotty timeline.

Holy shit, okay that's actually pretty cool. I might have to get this. I liked DS1 for it's more arcadey feel, DS2 was a little too linear for me. This is nice.
I'm hoping Isaac has the option of befriending a robot-dog as a pet... or even a real dog. That would be sweet.
