Re: Dead Space 3(?)

Yeah you can have full single player thank god.

All I needed to hear, phew.

I can see people's wariness with the ice planet, but it looks like an interesting change, as long as it's not too much of it. But the progression from DS1 to DS2 showed they know how to not only improve on gameplay, but can also work in varied environments. So I'm willing to trust them.

Re: Dead Space 3(?)

I'm really glad to hear that single-player mode will remove the co-op partner entirely. I could do without dumb AI partners in my campaign.

First: "Drop-In Drop Out" Co-Op:

We're doing this differently than its ever been done before, to my knowledge, so it's easy to understand why there'd be confusion.

What it usually means is that when your friend isn't playing, the other character is taken over by a dumb AI that gets in your way all the time or you have to babysit or doesn't revive you when he's supposed to.

In DS3 HE'S JUST NOT THERE. It's just like the classic DS you know and love. There's no banter. This has been extremely tricky (and expensive!) to figure out, but we didn't want to mess up a good thing. Cutscenes and gameplay are different depending if you're playing co-op or not.

We did this because a lot of people said "I think I'd love your game, but it's too intense for me, man!" Instead of making the game less intense, we added this. Think of it like going to a horror movie with your friends instead of alone.

And that left Isaac feeling a little awkward to deal with it, so we added a few new additions to the controls. Crouches and rolls, mostly. The game knows if you're crouched behind something and does some elegant little adjustments to make the presentation smooth. That's about it. You probably wouldn't even notice.

The heart of the game is still strategic dismemberment vs. Necromorphic beasties. We just gave some of them some surprises is all.

Universal Ammo

I can't go into too much detail about, since what we have planned for the weapons is something we'll be talking about later. But it's a big change for the future that I think is really cool, and the ammo thing works in concert with it.

This form of Co-op is a bit of a genius stroke...

It is and I hope to see it more I was worried about this but reading the Q&A above and the fact you can remove the co-op player all together means i'm now excited again Not that I think having co-op is a bad thing, playing this with a mate will be brilliant, it's just if you want classic deadspace it's still there. Awesome.

Re: Dead Space 3(?)

I love the rumour on relyonhorror, that some of the necromorphs are actually infected humans who have been starving and resorted to eating Necromorph flesh, and are half changed.

That seems a really cool element to the game. Im just excited because when they first announced an Ice planet all I could think of was The Thing, and it seems to getting quite alot more influences from it.

I agree. Thats darn cool - ok, someones gotta try co-op with me when this hits!

Every game needs to add this form of co-op. I imagine what Dragon's Dogma could'be been like with it!

I Just Grabbed Dead Space 2, and i'm a guy who doesn't easily get scared by horror movies .. but this game made me jump off my seat 3 times in the first 30 minutes of gameplay.

the environment is creepy and when you expect something gonna happen it still makes u jump when it does.

now i see why RE fans are upset, because RE is supposed to be something like this

You got that right, RE is completely strayed away from what made it great. It created this genre and has completely gone the action route

Any of you read the Dead Space novels? - I read martyr - showing origin of this 'religion' Unitology and what really happened - surprising good stuff!!! Same author of that had another out, so more reading to do!!!
