Dead Space 3

[ProjectPat2280]

With the success of both games in the Dead Space franchise it's inevitable that we will see Isaac Clarke sooner rather than later. There has already been some hints towards DS3 but now it appears the first possible info has leaked.

Apparently, if the rumors are true, the game will start out on a desolate arctic planet.

I for one think that could be really cool. Considering all the similarities already, the arctic locale makes me think even more of John Carpenters The Thing.

And that's not a bad thing, at all.

I've always imagined the Necromorphs as cousin's to the Thing. To have it take place in a similar sitting would be fantastic.

Isaac believes he's the only survivor

Only survivor from what? The outbreak on Titan Station? Because he wasn't.

It could be another event, I mean we saw him escape with Ellie. Or a more likely scenario, that rumor is just that, a rumor

 

[BrollySupersj]

Well I like the premise so far, I'd like to get away from space stations and ships and see some real planet side exploring in the DS universe.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

As long as the feeling of isolation is intact, I'm all for some planet side action.

OMFG if this is actually true I'm going to lose my mind. Dead Space is one of my favourite franchises and this concept sounds absolutely amazing.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Sounds promising, looking forward to seeing if this proves to be true. An arctic setting should really provide some fresh new visuals for the series.

Finally found the thread!

New Dead Space by March 2013

I sure hope it's the real Dead Space 3, and not some spinoff. There have been rumors circling around that the next game would be a FPS.

I'm praying they steer clear of that.

Yea i know, I'm with you. Really hope this is DS3 they are referring to.

I'll be super-annoyed if EA turns DS3 into an FPS. 2 is one of my favorite games of the generation, let's not try and bring it to the 'mass market' in this incredibly lazy way.

If a real sequel gets announced at E3 along with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 then I'll be incredibly happy.

God that makes me sound like such a tool.

Good thing it's not what you mean then, huh?

I think he means the way the sentence sounds.

"EA turn DS3 into an FPS."

It's all the acronyms.

Id love a sequel to this, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Mirror's Edge

[Balthus Dire]

Not gonna jump the gun, but I dunno if I like the sound of a cover system in Dead Space....

 

[BrollySupersj]

Huh...not sure what to think here...as long as it's not FPS. I guess the current changes are ok.

 

[Wolfwood]

Hmm. I'm guessing the crouching will be a result of a monster that you have to duck and cover from. Probably something that shoots out blades or some scary **** like that.

I really hope they don't get rid of Ellie. They mention that Isaac has a new guide in this game, I'd be really bummed if they offed Ellie in favor of someone new.

This may be jumping but the gun, but f**k it...

Ew, just, f***ing ewww.

I hate that, all of it. Every bit of it.

The only thing in that article that sounds even remotely OK, is the co-op and thats due to the fact that its NOT mandatory and that the story will reflect that. There was nothing wrong with DS1 or DS2, i can't for the life of me figure out why they'd change it. Ah well, Dead Space, ya had a good run. At least i still have the first 2 games.
