E3 2012: Dead Space 3 Proves Dismemberment Is Better With A Friend

Dead Space 3 is taking some very direct inspiration from the Resident Evil franchise, but it may not be a bad thing. As Visceral Games debuted the first ever co-op footage, it immediately striked me that many fans may be dissapointed with the direction that the developers are taking. As they cater to those with a need for constant action, over scares, it seems that seeing the success of Resident Evil has changed the franchise. Yet, this may not be as horrible as many will believe it to be. Dead Space 3 is holding onto the horror backdrop, injecting more fast-paced action gaming, and wrapping it up nicely with a co-op bow. What was shown in the live stage demo certainly confirmed that the survival horror experience the franchise was based on is slowly evaporating, As we step into the boots of Issacc Clarke once again, fear may no longer overtake you, but Dead Space 3 definitely looks like a lot of fun. http://youtu.be/8uAhz-1-v9M Be sure to stay tuned for more Dead Space 3 coverage, and mark your calendars for a reminder in February 2013.
