I'm sure it will be a solid game visceral has proven themselves capable. Its just not going I'n the direction I personally would like. It's what a buddy cop film now?
EA and their origin service have eliminated this game (and countless others) from my list. I really wish they would hurry up and just go out of business. The sheer amount of games I can't buy on principle really sucks. I won't buy from them again though, I will resist. The way they have treated gamers and the crap they have pushed onto the games themselves really ought to be a crime.
NOOOOO THEY RUINED IT NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Restart Visceral, throw the whole thing out and restart and LEAVE EA!!! Don't Do it... lol your messing it up NOOOO!!
I guess I can look past the existence of human enemies, but I hope they added creative new necromorph types. Dead Space 2 added the puker and the stalker, Dead Space 3 added... a zombie looking person that has tentacles which come out when you shoot it.
Also mandatory comment about how single players are losing more and more ground to damn resources being wasted on multiplayer.

Modern developing: 1) sell a semi-niche game well, 2) mainstreamify the sequel to draw more sales, end up selling less (according to EA, almost 2 mil copies were sold in a very short amount of time, meaning the sales fell off a cliff soon after), 3) double down, spend a ton of money making the game even more appealing to the mainstream, hope to sell five million copies.
As good a game as this game ends up being, it perfectly exemplifies why the software market continues to contract.

so im guessing this will be much shorter than DS2???
*Sigh
Dead Space 1 had the perfect pacing, it was long and fucking good, very few action scenes and more into your head.
DS2 seems to be more action oriented but still keeps the atmosphere of DS1.
DS3 looks like Lost Planet 2 and 3 tbh.
damn it EA.

Uh this was shown over a month ago, tho I can't remember where I watched it exactly. Probably gameinformer, those jerks usually get all the exclusive videos from publishers.
Cool, I love it when franchises completely go in another direction for the sake of a wider audience while at the same time alienating their old one.
I do not hate Call of Duty, I hate what its done to the gaming industry.

One of my favorite franchises ever seems to be slowly becoming like every other game now. Thanks EA :[
Meh it looked fine, my only issues were the assault rifle (with no limb cutting weapons of yore) and the human enemies. As it seemed like mind numbing boring combat especially with no classic dead space weapons which would have spiced things up. When I initially heard of the Ice planet I pictured John carpenters "The Thing" and I am rather disappointed at the omittance of any prolonged feeling of survival or isolation that would have been awesome. Only time will tell i suppose, I'm enough of a fan to pic this up regardless.
Honestly I'm not expecting much from this, but I want to keep things exciting for me, so instead of watching the video I will make a guess, is it the same "gameplay" we saw at E3?
I guess I'm the only one who thinks this could still end up being cool. The idea of snowy, whiteout conditions sounds like the perfect place to go after the shadowy blackout of the original. Same thing with the human enemies. Yes, universal ammo sounds lame, but considering that they are expanding the weapon crafting/combining mechanic, I suppose it's reasonable that going universal was the simplest solution. What I'm saying is, don't write it off just yet. The single player game is bound to be quite Dead Spacey, even if co-op isn't. I have no time for your fanboy "OMG They RUUUUUUINED it!!!1111" hyperbole.
I'm holding out hope, I'll will certainly give it benefit of the doubt but Grenades?... Rolling?...
Really EA? you're advising (down right forcing is what I want to say) Visceral down this path like so many others? Bleh... I loved the second and first Dead Space, I really, really hope I'll be able to say the same for this one too.

well put, well put indeed.

It does seem to be set on a planet, with lots of living people,
but ignoring that i think this series is looking to have gone the way of other 'gaming series that started out great and went shit looking for the loot by aiming for the cod stereotype gamer' type game. Dead Space just doesn't stand up as an action type third person shooter, aiming at glowing orange things or having to always shoot off limbs worked because you were in fear of dying horrifically if you didnt do it fast enough. In the demo the necromorphs just seemed to be annoying, slowing down the pace of the game as they pop out and you tear them limb from limb, but in a non 'fearing for your life' type way, leaving the good parts of the game to the huge boss battles. which while visually impressive were never the good bits, shoot at the orange blobs, dodge, wait for orange blobs to re-appear, rinse and repeat. It isnt likely to be scary, and is limited by the mechanics of previous games which is stopping it from being a great Gears of War type spectacle, even if it will look visually amazing, which in no doubt it will. Looks like they had something quite special, and have copied all the games they feel sell well, and if they promote it well enough im sure it will, wow , i ramble a lot at 3am it seems, soz.

Personally I'm all in favour of the new direction. Not that I didn't love the past two Dead Space games, but where else could they have taken the 'dark, lonely station' concept? If they'd have repeated that, we'd only have just as many people whining about 'originality'.
If anything, I'd refuse to buy this game if only in the vein hope that advertisers stop thinking they can sell me on words like "super-cool", "totally awesome", and "epic". I'm not twelve, and those words have been used with such superluous abandon that they have lost all meaning.
