However, Electronic Arts decided this was under-performing and more or less put the kibosh on the series for the indefinite future. Ironically, Dead Space 3 sold roughly twice as many copies as both its predecessors put together. It was controversial (to say the least) with old-school Dead Space fans. The starship graveyard is the best part of the game. Finally, sections of the game are only playable in co-op and there's the option of microtransactions to craft the best weapons. There's a tacked-on love triangle between Isaac Clarke, his former partner Ellie, and a psychotic EarthGov military officer which hardly needs to be explained as ending in our hero's favor. There's numerous bosses which require puzzle techniques to defeat rather than simply expenditure of ammo. There's cover-based shooting as well as combat rolls. EarthGov, previously an evil fascist state which set most of the horrible events in motion, is re-imagined as a noble ally of Isaac Clarke out to stop the Necromorphs. There's shooting segments with guns rather than repurposed tools as well as human enemies rather than just Necromorphs.
That is in large part due to the financial difficulties at Electronic Arts but more particularly due to the mixed reception of this game.ĭead Space 3 is a big transition from the previous games. It released three very well-received video games (though not without controversy), a pair of animated movies, many comic books, and quite a bit of merchandise before essentially ceasing to exist as a franchise. Dead Space is a series which changed the way horror video games were made.
