New Dead Space 3 Images

Dead Space 3 appears to be back and in a big way. A series of images have leaked online showing our hero Isaac Clarke with a much more rugged look to him in what appears to be the Arctic setting that was hinted at months ago. And this time, Isaac isn't alone.

[ThePoorman]

Sweet!

[Redtide]

i love how people disagree with it being sweet

[aCasualGamer]

Maybe they don't think it's sweet.

I for one don't think so. I don't like the fact that this seems to be a multiplayer coop version of dead space. I like the fact that Dead Space is a singleplayer focused game. Now it seems EA want to cash in, the best way to do so is to add multiplayer.

[Kurt Russell]

Looks sweet to me! If Co-Op is implemented well I am all for it. Dead Space 2 was an excellent sequel to the first... keep it up!

[da_2pacalypse]

Dead space does not need co-op. You can't have a "horror" game, which is co-op. Another good franchise ruined by The great EA!

[SSKILLZ]

Sweet

[Blacktric]

As long as Co-Op is not forced in single player, I will buy the game. But if the game turns out to be something like Resident Evil 5, which in my honest opinion was a piece of sh*t, then it is bargain bin for me. The good thing about Dead Space is the feel of claustrophobia and isolation which will inevitably disappear if you have another character helping you along the way. Again, the best example of this is Resident Evil 5. Nevertheless, I am also very interested in the idea of using snow storms as a mean to make players feel isolated and hopefully, the game will have a normal single player mode that is playable with just Isaac.

[antz1104]

Dead Space 2 was great albeit they could have left out the tacked on multi player.

Personally it would have been a great finish to the series, gotta admit I'm skeptical about a third.

[Redtide]

@acasualgamer your thoughts of coop are fine and all but the screen shots are still "sweet"

[trenso1]

Sweet more like bitter. If this true we now have a more tough looking instead of the semi fragile character we had before. You know the one with fear and felt more human in the sick twisted space. Plus he isn't alone good bye the horror part of the game. Cause having 1-3 people watching your back is more tense than being alone where you had to watch your own back of have your limbs ripped off especially is the higher difficulties.

[showtimefolks]

i like that but don't get me wrong i am exciting and all since i really liked DS 1-2 but the word amazing has been used so much since 2005-2006 to describe generic games that even when something is amazing the word just doesn't do it any justice

anyway at EA conference

overstike
NFS most wanted sequel(finally)
dead space 3
and much more

[ThePoorman]

If Kurt Russell thinks it is sweet then so do I! He sees things no one else can see - does things no one else can do. ;)

[iJihaD]

A horror Co-oP game would be interesting, first to see.
Chatting with your friend, while in fear of shadow monsters..

A huge one attacks and each one runs for his life, you are separated, don't know how to find each other.. every man for him self now, survive alone to get to your friend.. who's struggling him self to get to you.. While monsters are waiting.. for your flesh to be slashed...

oh i got carried away.. sorry.

[Shaka2K6]

.

[Forbidden_Darkness]

While i'm afraid this might turn out like Resident evil 5 (not scary at all), but I have hopes they'll keep it horror.

[Lucretia]

dead space and resident evil were never scary.

how the hell can dead space be scary if the games were super easy even on hard? the first gun is the best gun and there are only like 4 enemy types.

im not sure why anyone thinks the game was scary, i guess some people just scare easily.

DS1 and 2 were ok games, but i always started getting so bored toward the middle because there is no enemy variety and the threats are always the same.

[Sevir]

Without a doubt Dead Space franchise is scarier than Resident evil of the present. Sorry if i dont agree with your opinions but Dead Space was a success in that it was able to unnerve me while playing! Their are some really well played scary moments and the looks of this seems to be powered by Frostbite 2! and it looks amazing! I cant wait!

[antz1104]

I stopped reading when you said it was "super easy even on hard". Thaaaat kinda killed any credibility your statement had.

[supernaught000]

Look out guys, we got a badass over here!

[NastyLeftHook0]

dead space scared the hell out of me.

[dredgewalker]

Dead Space 1 was scary and even if Dead Space 2 wasn't as scary as the first it was still a great game for me.

[Lucretia]

I never said DS wasnt scarier than RE, its still not scary tho. its like the same difference of a squirrel being scarier than a hamster.

Coojo.......wtf? how would you know if im black or not, wow so racist. go back to being scared of your fictional games you punk.

I dont get scared by movies either so maybe its just me

[AgreeFairy]

Coojo never said you were black. He said you were a nigger. If you can't tell the difference then you must be a racist.

In any case, the Dead Space series is (or was) a horror game. Being able to see his face (which is a fail in itself) and having a co-op partner through the whole game will just take all of the real horror elements out of it. The only thing that could be scary about this game is having to babysit the AI.

[Uncharted2Vet]

looks pretty good, but will this game be scary?

[Walker]

Looks a lot Like Dead Space 2 !

[Phaethon0017]

I'm probably outnumbered here, but I loved both RE4 and RE5. It was like Alien to Aliens, one being more atmospheric and frightening and the other action packed.

I'll admit I didn't get far into the first two (I'm a chicken), and seeing as how there are only a few truly frightening games out there a midst all the action games, I feel for horror fans. I feel for you, but I feel for the cleanliness of my drawers more.

[Cajun Chicken]

Awesome! Can't wait!

[m2stech]

CO-OP ?

[IaMs12]

I hope its optional so if you decide to play alone/singpleplayer you dont have a random bot following you around.

[Redtide]

i dont know how i feel about coop the game is suppose to be scary for the player alone not with friends then it wont be scary.

[mep69]

I wonder what engine they'll use. Cry Engine 3 or Frostbyte 3 ?

[Uncharted2Vet]

dude its pretty obvious what engine they would use if it was out of them two. but i don't think they're gonna use either tbh

[GoldenGamer]

SPOILERS SORTA------------

Curious how we go from in a ship with a chick at the end of 2, with the prospect of more markers following the pilots fly by and the voice-over, to an ice planet with what seems to be a male partner?

[user5467007]

The better not of killed her off

[Kurylo3d]

they did say there were many markers in dead space 2...

[GoldenGamer]

I did say that if you read what I wrote. Also, disagrees? I was pointing out the differences between the end of the second game and the location and characters of this rumoured game, what is there to disagree with?

[Kurylo3d]

people just dont like you i guess. With a name like golden gamer... i can understand :)

[r21]

looks like Isaac is back but this time....with a beard.....and a cooler suit.....and a buddy?.....and pew pew gun 2.

[Sevir]

They are tying 2 stories together, Issac's and the guy from the new graphic novel on the game's official sight! from what I've read if you play it single player the co op character will only show up in cut scenes, but not in the actual single player! I'm interested in playing it! Co-op would be cool as long as they dont force an AI partner in like RE5 I'll take online drop in drop out over AI partner much like Resistance 3's implimentation with John Harper being somewhat prominent to the main character but only had a face when you played co-op.

[user5467007]

I don't see why they didn't add Ellie instead of the guy from the graphic novel

[Sevir]

Haha! Perhaps you dont even start with issac in the begining of DS3! we shall see! I'm gonna get to finishing DS 2 so i can have a better understanding of the set up for DS3

[r21]

oh you played co-op on R3 too? twas awesome playing with my brother and yeah it was odd when John disappeared during cutscenes :D

anyways, i'm up for some co-op as long as it isnt part of the main storyline. co-op ruins any chance of horror and if they get rid of that, no buy for me.

[Biohazard8860]

Hopefully u are not forced 2 play co op dead space too me is a single player experience.

[Kingdom Come]

Whilst I'm apprehensive regarding the games implementation of co-op, I was left hugely intrigued by the Graphic Novel Trailer released earlier this week, and, despite the new protagonist being portrayed as being a capable fighter, there is still an apparent sense of intensity, grit and fear amidst the trailer. Hopefully the game separates the players on numerous occasions to provide an impression of abandonment, weakness and fear into each player...

Also, hopefully we'll get confirmation of the rumours regarding Frosbite 2 powering the game, I'm intrigued to see how such a stunning piece of technology can work when incorporated into a Science-Fiction title, of which arguably allows for more creativity than real-world based war games...

[Biohazard8860]

hmmm seems like some disagreeing trolls are on O.o

[GammaSix]

DS1 and 2 didnt scare me at all, i hope this one is different

[Rampaged Death]

Screw co-op !!!!

[shodan74]

Necromorphs with guns??

Sigh.

[Tdmd]

Yeah, that worries me as well... I hope they are not going Capcom's way, adding necromorph bikers. :(

[Kurylo3d]

who said thats a necromorph? Military has tried to kill you in both deadspace 1 and 2... u just havent encountered them in a firefight yet... they may be adding that.

[Kran]

Issac with a beard?

Anyone else think he looks awesome?

[diehardgamer1000]

I prefer singleplayer survival-horror.Not sure how this will work.I would sure like to be wrong.Looks like another franchise thats gonna be run down into the ground by EA and it will probably have the Origin nonsense on PC.

[tigertron]

I'm a huge Dead Space fan but...Necromorphs with guns and 2 player co-op? I'm getting an RE5 vibe here guys. I do hope Visceral is careful not to go that route.

I do prefer Isaac's DS2 advanced suit though.

I guess we'll have to wait for the trailer.

[chukamachine]

Why are 360 guys stealing my bubbles.

I speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me me.

Besides that, i hope this 3rd game is as brilliant as the last two. Love this i.p. This is the new and improved resevil. Pure awesome.

[MattyG]

But...but... wheres Ellie?

[CanadianTurtle]

Honestly, I really miss the days when developers were given more creative freedom than being forced to shove down unnecessary co-op and multiplayer down the player's throats.

[BDSE]

Multiplayer and co-op is a good way to ruin a decent single player game. I don't want to be forced to play with someone else online. I'm more than happy to play the game on my own, at night in the dark.

Also necromophs with guns? Really? FFS.

Sadly I'll be giving this a VERY wide birth if this ends up being as bad as its looking to be and my love of Dead Space as a franchise ends with Dead Space 2.

Thanks a lot EA, tossers.

[Sevir]

from a leak of pictures! From what we've heard the Co-Op is drop in drop out online only! so you can totally take advantage of the option to do it solo! Obviously this is being done with the utmost care! I'm waiting for a trailer and actual game play before i start writing the game off by virtue of leaked screens! fanboys are hilarious

[Roccetarius]

The option being there or not doesn't matter. No matter which way you spin the game, it'll have a noticeable impact on it.

[Sevir]

and Its Mind blowing! And everything makes sense! So i cant wait! Let the naysayers call it what they want! The Game will be amazing and I cannot wait to see the demo at E4's presser today at 4p

[ziggurcat]

it's looking like it's pretty co-op heavy...

[Roccetarius]

It's unfortunate that developers makes these decisions, because that means heavy discounts in return.

Too bad, Visceral Games. It only took you half the time to sink this low.

[Bay]

I hope the co-op is it's own campaign. Leave the single player main story for what it is, the main story.

[BDSE]

But then we'll get a crap single player campaign.

[Tikicobra]

I really hope the co-op is separate. Having a second player would completely kill the atmosphere.

[Krugsy]

I love how people are getting whipped into a fervour over two screen shots. I'm feeling positive about it, but honestly, I'll hold judgement until I can see some footage and not just a couple screen shots.

[Sargerus]

you didn't hear? the cool stuff now is hate every EA game out there.

[Krugsy]

See I couldn't care less about that kinda crap. If a game is good, I'll check it out, end of story. Maybe I lack conviction or that 'screw the man' mentality. I just wanna play a good game.

[J86blum]

Bubbles for Sargerus and Krugsy. I agree.

[ziggurcat]

@ krugsy:

i think what you have is referred to as, "common sense."

it's a rare condition... you don't want to go see a doctor about it, either.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I will be buying DS3 but I never considered the game to be survival horror. The way you build up your heallth/suit/guns... you can get rigged up fairly early to make this game a breeze and feel invisible!

Only time I ever freaked out was the first time the tenticle in the 1st game came down the hallway and grabbed me to drag me down. After that, it was just a good/fun game to play. The way some of the events play out in the 2 games are some of the neatest of any game this gen I will say.

But survival horror has been long dead people... and I mean longgggg dead...

Sad really cause I love the genre

[RedDeadLB]

Frostbite 2 or not?

[FarCryLover182]

These screens are confirming the ice planet setting and almost all of those rumors. Those rumors stated that co-op is optional and that it won't affect gameplay at all because when you don't have a co-op partner, the computer doesn't take over like that idiotic Sheva in RE5. This could be good if it is indeed, done right.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

The artic environment looks... gives me that giddy feeling that Carpenters movie The Thing gives me. Something about snowy environments with nasty slimey alien/zombe creatures just mesh's so awesome together!

[DeadSpaced]

Think about it. All the blood that will stain such pure, white snow. It could be a great setting for Horror.

[banjadude]

So HYPED! I loved everything about DS1 and DS2 (except Hardcore mode, lol) so... I think I'll be pleased with this one too.

[TheMutator]

WHY CO-OP WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYY?????????

[J86blum]

If you don't like it don't play it. Complaining about it will not do anything for the most part,"I only say this cause of the Mass Effect 3 situation." You want to play the game alone then cool fine, but I and other people have friends have thought about a co-op Dead Space so we can play it together and enjoy it.

It surprises me how much everyone complains about their being no co-op games, or no split screen co-op games but when they come out everyone bitches and complains.

For the most part a good portion of the people on this site act like snob entitled elitest who say how something could or would be cool if they cant have it, but the second they get it they whine.

Flame me, take my bubbles, report me I could care less..seriously look at my face (?) "in Eric Cartmen voice"no seriously look at my face and see how much I care. Cause when the game comes out and people run to the boards to complain and have nerd fits I will be having friend over or co-oping with the wife and playing Dead Space 3.

[NastyLeftHook0]

i for one want them to focus 99% of there time on the single player experience, everything else can wait.

[Gratisfaction]

In my opinion, I'd rather have Co-op than Multiplayer because I did not like the multiplayer in Dead Space 2. I think of it as a "would you rather" situation. I'd definately would rather have Co-op.

[SuperbVillain]

EA your f*cking lame and i hope somebody comes along and help your realize this so you can either A go bankrupt or b do better

[DeadSpaced]

Something that's gotten me wondering: the last image shows Isaac Clarke holding a weapon with two completely different ammo counters. Any idea on what it is?

[meowthemouse]

Primary and secondary fire?

[DeadSpaced]

I figured it would be using that method but the past two games consume the same ammo. This has two completely different ammo counters.

My best guess is an entirely different weapon was mounted on the other gun.

[Dark_Overlord]

HOLY SH*T!!! So that's where Megatron went :D

[meowthemouse]

I'm I the only one who noticed that the "zombies" use guns now?

[Roccetarius]

Well, they are trying to follow the same footsteps as Resident Evil.

[Xenial]

Dead Space doesn't need co-op or multiplayer. Don't ruin one of my favorite franchises! :@

[KrimsonKody]

Uh-hmm,

I do agree that with multiplayer added, it can decrease the fear factor. & I myself do prefer the single player campaign of both Dead Space games.

However, the ONLY way EA can get this right (or @ least try to), is by making the multiplayer play in a Alien movie-esque type of way.
For ex;
4 player multiplayer, each player starts at different points on a map, & all 4 have to make it safely to a center point. You can communicate through mic to relate what's going on around each of you, & there can be times where you all can cross paths. But the objectives forces you to split up, allowing for unique, individual scare tactics.

I think that could work.

But if it's some "8 player deathmatch/run in the room & spray up a hoard of necromorp...
no
No.
It doesn't take a Mr. Horse to tell you that no sir, I won't like it.
(inversely nods head)

[Ethereal]

Looks amazing...Can't wait!
