[Voice of Reason]

I wonder if the franchise will ever be awakened.

 

[LiK]

Sigh, I'll wait for reviews.

 

[BearPawB]

Looks like what I want from dlc

 

[brandonh83]

a shame that stuff that cool looking/creepy couldn't have been in the main game but at least it's in some DLC.

 

[AOC83]

Looks terrible.

 

[dorkimoe]

Haven't even picked up the game and their is dlc

 

[scitek]

Oh wow, PC's getting it this time?

 

[Majmun]

What happened to this franchise

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Loved Dead Space 3, but will have to wait on reviews and price. If it's more than 10 bucks I'll probably have to pass right now.

 

[Celestial]

Does this take place after ending?

 

[Ingueferroque]

Just go away already, EA.

 

[Nemesis_]

What happened to this franchise

Have you played 3? It ain't that bad

 

[Risgroo]

So, is this just an extra side mission or does it take place after the ending?
Bagheads look freaky.

EDIT: Right after the ending, according to the IGN video, nice!

 

[LiK]

Does this take place after ending?

judging from a leaked description I read a few weeks ago...

Spoiler

yes it does

Edit: um, should I keep it spoilered since IGN revealed it? lol

 

[VE3TRO]

It carries on after the ending right away.

Spoiler

Both Issac and Carver survive.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

What happened to this franchise

Looks terrible.

Just go away already, EA.

If you read the previews it actually sounds good. Like they took a step back and brought the Dead Space back.

Ok thanks.

 

[gdt]

Post ending DLC? Hell yeah I'm there.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I am ready.

I loved every iteration of the DS games, apart from that terrible, terrible XBLA one.

 

[Omegasquash]

Glad to see it's still co-op.

If only my buddies would get it, I'd have a ball. I want to play Carver.

 

[Saty]

Can you be anymore crazy?

 

[Metroidvania]

Might want to note that Polygons says it comes out next Tuesday for NA and Wednesday for Europe.

On one hand, the people talking about the previews have me a bit more excited, but why is this "style" of more horror/terror in DLC and not the main game? :/

 

[Tacitus_]

Preview looks good. Really good. I just wonder how long it'll be.

 

[Meatvillain]

More Dead Space 3 sounds good to me.

 

[Nirolak]

Preview looks good. Really good. I just wonder how long it'll be.

They list at least three settings in the Joystiq preview so I have to imagine it's at least a few hours.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Too little, too late.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Looks really good. the previews all sound great and it's coming next week? Couldn't ask for more.

 

[VE3TRO]

Preview looks good. Really good. I just wonder how long it'll be.

Saw it mentioned that it will last several hours.

 

[Tacitus_]

Cool, might be worth the 10 euros then.

 

[icespide]

I'll play it

 

[codecow]

Oh wow, PC's getting it this time?

Yes thanks to the power of Origin™!

 

[AOC83]

No, i was just judging by the trailer, the scences look like parts of the last few ours of DS3 and that´s exactly were the game completely jumped the shark.

 

[Omegasquash]

Too little, too late.

Name quote. Lots of people hating on the game for what...it not being a carbon copy of the first?

 

[Estocolmo]

It looks like the same enviroments they used for the 10 optional missions (that all looked practically the same...) How can they re-use the same settings over and over again?

 

[Omegasquash]

Yes thanks to the power of Origin™!

Clever. Could be an lol didn't read moment, but I didn't see the exact date. Also...anyone from your team going to be at PAX East here in a few weeks?

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Are there spoilers in these pictures for the end of the game?

 

[Dragon1893]

Looks good. Better than the game itself actually (which I thought was good but not great).

 

[Haeleos]

Are there spoilers in these pictures for the end of the game?

No.

 

[LiK]

Are there spoilers in these pictures for the end of the game?

Yes, if you didn't beat it

I definitely didn't hate it, but my biggest complaint is that it almost turns into a corridor shooter at chapter

Spoiler

and then proceeds to really drag on. I felt like they could have cut nearly half the game and had a better game all around. I also thought the enemy encounters were mostly really bad & boring.


I'm not sure how I feel about this DLC. I might end up just reading what happens rather than play it if reviews say it plays the same as the rest of the game.

Corridors? First one is full of these.

 

[rbanke]

Corridors? First one is full of these.

Maybe I'm describing it incorrectly. But at that point it was basically a huge line of dudes to shoot through, which doesn't feel like the rest of Dead Space, even DS3's first half. Several chapters post that point felt like I was playing an Uncharted style third person shooter (tons of fodder enemies) rather than a Dead Space game, which I don't think does anything positive for this game.

 

[Lerozz]

GIMME !

 

[JJD]

Looks great!

I just hope it's longer than Severed...

 

[Salz01]

I'd rather get the DLC to DS2, and visit the Sprawl again. Vastly more interesting looking then the stations in 3. I looked at the trailer and ign walk through, and it just doesn't make me want to play 3 again.

Ohh, now I understand. That's really pretty lame. =/

 

[scitek]

It doesn't help that the controls are terrible for that type of game, either.

 

[luxarific]

Woo, yay, day one for me.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Fuck, that looks awesome. Bought. Cult got even crazier plus dementia making a big comeback? Sweet.
