I think this is supposed to be the "big" news teased given the same screenshot shows up.
I really like the ideas mentioned.

This video shows more clearly what we're doing with co-op during the "psychosis" parts.

During Carver's trip he's not in the same physical location as Isaac (he's inside his mind) yet on Isaac's version of the events (not shown) he's standing right next to him grabbing his head.

The doll spooks Carver as a cut-scene triggers, showing him walking towards it. Suddenly he becomes startled and turns to see the face of his dead wife projected onto Isaac as she speaks to him. Isaac shakes Carver until he snaps out of it, and gameplay resumes.
Things only get creepier from here, as the person playing as Carver starts to see more of the eerie dolls lining the hallways, and the person playing as Isaac sees the world as in its natural state.
“Are you seeing this?” Carver asks Isaac, and is met with an order to snap out of it in return. Things get even worse as a set-piece triggers that sees Carver walking around a warped dimension full of motifs from his son’s birthday party, more dolls and creepy apparitions that attack and hurt the soldier.
We’re playing as Carver, so naturally we shoot the phantoms to drive them back, but on Isaac’s screen, it’s looks like we’ve gone nuts, running off, shooting at nothing and rambling like a maniac.
Isaac calls on Carver to come back as Necromorphs in the real world start to swarm him, but we can’t hear his cries behind us as we march on through the hellish birthday party, blasting ghouls that aren’t even there.

We weren’t able to try crafting for ourselves, but we did gather up a great deal of resources strewn across the environment.
Both Carver and Isaac have scavanger bots that can be deployed in hotspots – areas with strong signal strength – and then let loose to automatically scan for component parts. These elements are then automatically made available to you at the next upgrade workbench.
When in co-op, both players receive any new weapons made, ensuring both parties get a share in the spoils. Papoutsis talked us through the possibilities of crafting, “You’ve got well over a thousand different combinations of weapons you can create. The crafting system is another addition we’re really excited about.”
Papoutsis added, “We’ve taken the idea of upgrading your weapons and now we’ve gone all the way towards letting you make your own. If you want to make a Ripper with a flamethrower as the alt. fire, then you can make that. If you want a Pulse Rifle with a Javelin Gun as the alt. fire, then you can do that too.

Chuck was calm. "What makes the least sense to you?"
His voice lulled me back into a more human state and I explained my confusion over the Markers, the Necromorphs and everything in-between. His answer made it sound like he's gotten the question before.
"We strive really hard in Dead Space 3 to answer all of that," he said. "The story arc in Dead Space 3 is Isaac finding all of that out. I can't give you answers because it'll spoil it. Spoilers in Dead Space 3 are all those questions. What are the markers doing? Where do they come from? What's their purpose? Where do the Necromorphs come from? What is going on is what we answer here. There are a few big twists to get there, but we answer as much of that as we possibly can, without leaving nothing to the imagination. Huge chunks of lore are explained in Dead Space 3."
