I really enjoyed Dead Space 3

Xenial2271d ago

I enjoyed it as well, it definitely fell under-par too it's predecessors - I however still enjoyed it, and it is a worthy Dead Space experience, I wish the community was not dead so I could replay and go for plat, but... that's gone. EA ruined the series.

Seraphim2271d ago

that reminds me. I really should go back and platinum DS2 and get what I can out of Dead Space 3. Got the platinum in Dead Space. Not sure if this was the result of time constraints and/or other games dropping but w/ Dead Space 2 and 3 I just never kept playing them to hammer out the remaining trophies. Of course right now I'm neck deep in Monster Hunter World so I'm not entirely sure when the next boredom, no games to play develops.

Am going to be honest iv been meaning too lay the dead space games my backlog is just too great at the min

Dead space 1 was absolutely amazing, dripping with atmosphere I almost dreaded playing it because it scared the hell out of me lol. 2 and 3 were ok but something was lost compared to the first.

TheOttomatic912271d ago

Agreed 1 was stellar, 2 I actually liked but I didn’t love and 3 was an abomination.

Seraphim2271d ago

The original of any new IP, virtually every time, seems to be phenomenal simply because it's something new. Dead Space 2 and 3 were solid games but especially with 3 I think they were trying too hard to make it something it wasn't or change things for the sake of doing so? Maybe even trying to move the niche horror genre more mainstream?They just took it in a different direction and while it was still good it just didn't work out for the better. Though it was still a solid game in it's own right. The great thing with an IP like Dead Space is that the simple format of DS1 with perfectly implemented Oh Shat moments is enough.

I certainly do miss these games and wish Visceral were able to continue making these or coming up with a new IP. And now Visceral, as it goes with EA and it's studios, is no more. If it's one EA game I'd support it would be a re-release or remaster of Dead Space 1-3 for $60. Or even $100 to get my hands on another plasma cutter; DS2 CE.

I personally wouldn't call Dead Space 3 a gem. Its a good game, but, I feel Dead Space 3 is the weakest of the trilogy. While I don't think Dead Space 3 is good enough to be called a gem. I think its one of those over hated games, much like Perfect Dark Zero and several others.

MadLad2271d ago

Dead Space 3, I thought, was really good? Weakest of the series? Definitely. The first was a phenomenal, original horror ip with a fantastic gameplay hook. The second cleaned up the rough edges of the first, turned up production values to 11, and sped everything up. The third ... well, was about two steps back for the series, but when the series is just that good, it still leaves you with an extremely solid product.

RIP Visceral.
You really were one of the greats, in my book.

Why Dead Space 3 Will Be the Hardest to Remake

If EA and Motive Studio plan on remaking all the main Dead Space entries, they have to change a lot of what made Dead Space 3 so divisive.

Simple, do not bother with a Dead Space 3 remake. Rather have a new entry for Dead Space.

myfathersbastard435d ago

Yeah I agree. Make a dead space 3, but have an original story/setting. They’ve proven they can do the game justice, and I think they could evolve 2 in a good direction, keeping a similar tone. I’d love s Dead Space 2 and 3 though. The remake was fantastic. Top tier remake, up there with RE2.

jznrpg435d ago

Remaking 3 would need to be a reworked and somewhat changed remake as 3 was flawed in most peoples eyes and the worst entry.

Ninver435d ago

It's the worst in the series.

Dead Space 3, A Ten Year Reunion

WTMG's Kyle Nicol:

"Was Dead Space 3 really that bad?

Well, it’s a complicated question. Dead Space 3 is undeniably the weakest of the trilogy. It’s a game that deviates so far from the original formula, that it throws a lot of what made Dead Space special in the first place out of the window. Although, where it does make up for it is one of the best cooperative shooters on the market, even after all this time. Do I recommend playing this game ten years later? Hell yes. But make sure your expectations are in the right place. It has a lot of problems that bring it down."

They need to seriously continue this ip with a new entry. Even if it's just another movie I don't care I love everything about this game.
