Electronic Arts is developing a new Dead Space game. No surprise there, but it doesn’t take place on a spaceship. Dead Space 3 is set on Tau Volantis, an icy planet where Isaac Clarke has to wade through white-out blizzard conditions.
Early in Dead Space 3, Isaac crash lands on the planet. He believes he may be the only survivor and makes his way to an abandoned waystation, which he uses for shelter from the snowstorm. There he finds a survivor who is severely injured. Isaac speaks to the near dead comrade who reveals there are other survivors that trekked off to another facility. One of them is Ellie, a key character from the original Dead Space game. Isaac grabs a snowsuit and heads into the blizzard.
Later in the game, Isaac reunites with Ellie and a new character named Jennifer. The trio scale a mountain, but Jennifer is reluctant to do so. She’s a tech type excited over finding a codex and plans to reverse engineer research by a group called Rosetta to gain access to it. As they climb up the mountain, they hear a howl from below, but cannot spot what kind of creature made the sound.
The enemies in Dead Space 3 are being referred to as "the hive mind."
New environment There is that rumour that Dead Space 3 will take place on an ice planet, with Isaac having to deal with blizzards as much as monsters, so cue obvious references to John Carpenter's 1982 movie The Thing. Not that that's a bad thing however - it could work we guess. If it was set inside an abandoned facility populated only by necromorph and icicles then it could still maintain the darkness and creepy, isolated feeling of the previous games' locations, but then it could get a bit repetitive like the Ishimura again.
But hold on, this is a whole planet, meaning that you could have pretty much anything on it. This is where the variety can come in. Assuming that this rumour is true, the developers are no longer restricted to a spaceship, so they could put any creepy or desolate location in as they see fit. We think this will give the developers a lot more creative liberty when it comes to designing the levels. We approve of the rumour.
Make it scarier Dead Space does a very good job of making you jump, but we feel it doesn't quite create a feeling of pure horror and dread when ever we play it.
It definitely has its moments of tension, such as the first time we encountered the regenerating necromorph and quickly realised we couldn't kill it, but the scares never reach that point of making us fumble for the pause button and sit there for several minutes, breathing heavily, attempting to calm our nerves. We think the problem is that Visceral Games believes that excessive gore equals horror - not so. An alien baby crawling in to its mothers arms before exploding in to a shower of blood admittedly took us by surprise, but again it's a jump scare
Dead Space has some of the best atmosphere and ambient audio in a game this generation, so it would be nice to see the game use it to its full potential.
More necromorph variety Surely humans aren't the only living creatures in the future, so how about some animal-based necromorph? Kind of like how the xenomorphs in the Alien films are different based on what species they cross-breed with, resulting in creatures like the dog alien from the third film. This could give the necromorphs more wildly varied behaviour patterns, and could mix things up quite significantly.
Also tying in with making the game scarier, the variety could come not just from the monsters themselves, but from where they spawn. Basically, when you've finished the game once or twice you learn when and where all the enemies are going appear. By adding in a slightly random element to their spawn points, it could keep gamers on their toes no matter how many times they play. The game could still retain the scripted moments when it needs to, but for the most part, random enemy spawns would be more terrifying.
Focus on single-player While Dead Space 2's multiplayer wasn't really a detriment to the game, it did lack creativity and felt a little uninspired.
Some fans have suggested co-op, or a horde-type survival mode against waves of necromorphs for multiple players, but we don't think it'll work.
As Resident Evil 5 proved, having another character with you at all times kills any feeling of isolation and loneliness. And look at Fear - the first one was a fantastic horror game, but the third and most recent entry in the series introduced co-op and ended up as shooter with some weird bits in it.
While that's not to say co-op horror can't work, we just think it won't be scary with another player there. You'd probably just be laughing with your mates while going through it, destroying the atmosphere in the process.
I mean, some form of multiplayer could work, but it would need a lot of special attention and care from the developers to make it anything worthwhile, but then that attention and care could be devoted to offering an amazing single-player instead.
