Truly, if there ever was a franchise with the potential to be something more than it was allowed to be, it's Dead Space - and this remake gives patient fans reason to believe this once-dormant franchise is anything but dead.ĬBR Features Writer Milo Clark has possessed a love for eclectic movies, video games, and TV shows since he was a teenager. If EA was thinking of continuing or revamping the Dead Space story, it would be wise to first release a remake of an already beloved game in the series to gauge interest, which seems to be the route it's taking. After ultimately being halted due to poor sales and reception, which was caused by EA's own choices, Dead Space is back on the radar. This purported change in mindset and reinvestment in the brand, raises questions regarding the likelihood of another installment in the Dead Space franchise.Īs of now, Dead Space 4 seems like a tangible possibility. The remake looks set to take it back to basics and remind fans what made Dead Space so unique. With Dead Space 3, there was a sense that the microtransactions compromised the artistic integrity of the game, but the remake seems to be focusing on what matters most: the game itself. Creating a ground-up remake of an incredibly popular franchise without stuffing it with numerous buyable skins and weapons is commendable. None of us do.With the advent of this microtransaction-less remake, it seems EA is attempting to right its wrongs. I'm not saying you guys are wrong, I just find it humorous that you claim that all they have to do is spend less money to make the game when you have no understanding of how game development costs actually work. I can't say that I understand why publishers keep dumping so much money into games when they could obviously make more money if they did away with one stupid set piece that you just watch instead of play. I.just can't find a reason to pick this game up yet.

I'll be keeping my eye on it, as I really want the game to be stellar and happen to be a massive Dead Space fan (both the games and the extended universe).

With Dead Space 3, I just don't see anything that interests me. They were able to keep all the things that made Dead Space awesome while giving it some much needed tweaks. I can guarantee they didn't dump nearly as much into the first game as they did into this new one, and the first game was SOLID! Even with Dead Space 2, they dumped money into it - but it showed and they were rewarded for it. Here's an idea on how to not need to sell five million in order to make the game viable: don't spend so much money making a goddamn Dead Space game.
