Visceral had some cool ideas for Dead Space 4

When it comes to Dead Space, what dies doesn't stay dead for long. Dead Space 3 launched in February 2013 and EA has said nothing since to indicate it's ready to revive the science fiction horror series.

"Ben did note that in order to get the budget down to Hellblade levels, they would have to cut some of the very expensive set pieces the series was known for, in case you were curious what was driving up the budget in the first place."

I think Publisher/Dev should know that it hard to make AAA TPS Survivor-Horror game sold well like Resident Evil.

Seriously,TPS Survivor Horror game it very rare now adays.

SCW19822146d ago

I would say the big budget set pieces in the second game are what make it not as good as the small intimate intense settings of the Ishimura from the first. Dead Space 1 >>>>>>>&g t; Dead Space 2

Sevir2146d ago

I still felt Dead Space 2 was amazing. I liked that it balanced the set pieces with the intense horror, it was a great pacing too. The first 2 games will always be my fav modern horror game. The 3rd game was your perfect example of EA extorting a fantastic studio and IP only to cancel and condemn it and the people who worked on it after they forced the developers to go the wrong way

Concertoine2146d ago

Imagine Dead Space 1 without the side characters telling you what to do. Its just Isaac alone and insane in the environment - terrifying prospect.

It alaways seemed like the natural evolution of the series to me.

sonarus2146d ago

I really miss dead space especially as resident evil went the more action route this was best survival horror game out there. 3 was borderline garbage but 1&2 were great very disappointed we haven’t gotten a 4 yet. I think this game a new resistance game and Warhawk are what I wish most from PS3 era

Yui_Suzumiya2146d ago (Edited 2146d ago )

Yeah, Resident Evil and The Evil Within are the only big ones I can think of.

Plagasx2146d ago

That's why I worship Bethesda for giving us a game like The Evil Within and a sequel. I don't take that for granted not one bit. I support it every which way I can :)

AspiringProGenji2146d ago

That's what they have done instead of Battlefield Hardline, then fk EA happened

annoyedgamer2146d ago

RIP Visceral. Also RIP Danger Close games

Majin-vegeta2146d ago

Danger close is actually now DICE L.A.So technically they're still open

SCW19822146d ago

Cut the expensive set pieces, give us a small terrifying and deeply intimate horror experience.

annoyedgamer2146d ago

Asking EA to make quality is like asking water not to be wet. It won't happen and when the studio is shut down they will issue a press release saying it all our (the fans) fault.

sle7enn2146d ago

Water isn’t wet, water makes things wet. But I agree with what you are trying to say

FinalFantasyFanatic2146d ago

A space station, a deserted base, there are so many places where they could still do the small enclosed set piece.

-Foxtrot2146d ago

Would any one want Dead Space 4 with how much they f***** up the story and how silly it's become

I mean a moon guys...A GOD DAMN MOON

Then there's the fact Dead Space 3 was just an awful story in general. I'd prefer it if they did a new one and Dead Space 3 was just a nightmare Isaac had

gantarat2146d ago

I really hate love triangle story.

Fist4achin2146d ago

You're on to something. Opening scene, Isaac wakes up in a hospital while DS3 scenes flash on the screen. Says something about a crappy dream and then bam, goes right into DS4...

Oh, and they get rid of the weapons crafting system from DS3.

Yui_Suzumiya2146d ago (Edited 2146d ago )

The weapon crafting system was the worst in this game. Totally unnecessary. Nothing much else bugged me as much in the game except for that.

Bobafret2146d ago

I liked Dead Space 3, I have never understood the hate it gets.

-Foxtrot2146d ago (Edited 2146d ago )

Because it's shit compared to the first two to put it blunty

If you have something which is a solid 9/10 and you release something that isn't that good while dumbing down the franchise in the later instalment then it's going to come off worse then it is as it's being compared to something better.

Take Resident Evil 5 for example, it was an alright game but it was a shit Resident Evil game. Speaking of that, Dead Space 3 ticked more people off because EA saw the hate Capcom got for that game with them going towards the action route along with co-op yet despite being crowned the "new survival horror franchise" they decided to do the EXACT SAME MISTAKE. It was idiotic and I share no sympathy for them.

Fist4achin2146d ago

Changed the feel too much. 3 felt more like a COD type game as opposed to a survival horror game.

gantarat2146d ago

It not a bad game by any mean but it not people want from dead dpace game.

Bobafret2145d ago

I loved the segment where you are travelling from derelict ship to derelict ship, the setting was very creepy.

ziggurcat2145d ago

"I liked Dead Space 3, I have never understood the hate it gets."

because they shoved co-op into a game that wasn't about co-op - and they turned it from more of a survival horror into an action shooter.

I never finished 3. The first two were amazing, and the first one is still one of my favourite games from last gen.

NapalmSanctuary2145d ago

I like it when -Foxtrot gets blunty.

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Terry_B11h ago

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

Kaii10h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

helicoptergirl10h ago

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

[Exclusive] Xbox Reaches Agreement With Batman: Arkham Trilogy Creators For A New AAA Game

Ex-Rocksteady directors' Hundred Star is collaborating with Xbox Game Studios Publishing for its first-ever AAA game.

Lightning779h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.

They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?

Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.

The_Hooligan8h ago

I agree with you. I think I'll be a brand new IP. Now it could be a superhero themed, kind of like infamous. Speaking of which, Suckerpunch needs to make one after Ghost 2.

neutralgamer19927h ago

would love a infamous collection for ps5/pc

Lightning777h ago

I definitely think it'll be super hero themed game 100%. Something MS needs in their portfolio.

ThinkThink5h ago

Please, no more super hero games.

PhillyDonJawn4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Dead Pool or Punisher would be amazing!!!
Don't tease me like that man lol. I see them making a new IP that's like an arkham knight clone

Dirty_Lemons57m ago

I loved the old Punisher game back in the day. Those executions never got old.

MIDGETonSTILTS177h ago(Edited 7h ago)

I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).

It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.

Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.

darthv727h ago

This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.

-Foxtrot7h ago

Exclusive? Sure

This year alone Microsoft has changed their plans so much with Xbox regarding multiplatform releases as they step closer to just being a full blown third party publisher and it's only been 4-5 months, imagine where we'll be once this game is finished. It will be a completely different landscape.

ThinkThink5h ago

I don't think MS will ever go completely full 3rd party with all of their games. I can see them looking towards expanding their own mobile store and moving into Mac as ways of expanding. I'm sure ms will bring more exclusives over to ps and nintendo, but I don't think it'll be as many games as you think it will. I hope I'm wrong.

Lightning774h ago

The ever contradictions thoughts and actions of MS definitely says otherwise MS changed up so much on the past 6 months of the year I lost count.

Though I'm more declined to believe they also won't go full 3rd party also.

But.

This year they're having Renaissance a super bowl of gaming with Gamepass this year. BO6, older ABK games, Avowed, Indy and other 3rd party exclusives all to grow and expand gamepass. If these games don't grow the service or grow only a little bit. Then you can fully expect MS to hit the red button and put everything everywhere. Satya will have full Xbox take over doing what he wants from that point on next year.

It's up to Xbox to advertise these games and gamepass in the next 6 months or so get the word out.

Profchaos4h ago

The more the news evolves the more I'm inclined to believe we will see MS embrace full third party status but not call it third party in their word soup ways.

It will be Xbox everywhere plays best on a Xbox.

Next gen Xbox is rumoured to be a reference design similar to the 3d0 where any company can make and sell it.

If you're offloading hardware costs to a third party yet still profiting from the games then you've cut out losses on the hardware you still have a store front that users can use and still make a 30 percent cut on that.

Your games sell for a profit on PS and Nintendo platforms and on Xbox reference hardware along with PC

You lose .kney on DLC and games sold on a competitor storefront they are seemingly already comfortable with this.

The ms bean counters are coming for the ROI that was promised they don't care if they kill the brand as it stands Xbox was never a profitable business it was always just done for reputation

PhillyDonJawn4h ago

@Lightning the would end the console then. No one would buy Xbox over PS at that point cause now you get both with just a PS. If GP flop for them, Logically, rolling back on GP would be the smarter than to do. No more day 1 title. Less quality titles. They'd lose subs but people would go back to buying the games.

Lightning772h ago

@Philly They could scale back gamepass put Indies only, AAA 1st party games coming 4 to 6 months from release. The thing is MS will have to tell their fans to buy their games again and that's gonna take years and years to condition them to buy games again. MS will lose money from that also. They'll lose out on gamepass revenue, lose out on games sales because their fans don't buy as many games anymore.

I can't see them scaling back or axing gamepass it does make them allot of money, they just want more money from it. They're not gonna condition their fans to start buying games either.

As I said they'll go full 3rd party and yes you ate right, if they do that then there would be no reason to buy the next Xbox. I know j won't be, you better hope the next 6 months they advertise the games and GP there little hearts out because this could be it.

Spawn (as well as master chief) are the only characters I associate with Xbox. Are there more I can’t remember?

rlow16h ago

Gears is another big game one.

purple1016h ago

Yeh big game, do you know the name of the lead character. Or team of lead characters. I don’t

rlow15h ago

Marcus, Dom, Cole Train. And I can’t remember the fourth.

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Also the chick from gears 5 seems to pop up on all their modern advertising I can't remember her name either.

Cars also feature heavily in a Xbox ad it's always master chief front and centre with cars and maybe a gears character hanging around

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot1d 15h ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga13h ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj2h ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia1d 12h ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

TGG_overlord18h ago

And all it took was +24 years + a phone call from me lol.

GotGame81810h ago

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!
