Most titles opt for voiceless macho men who shrug off jabs to the face and barely emote beyond anger.

Maybe being guilt-ridden isn’t the easiest thing to market, but it was a different approach to action games that rarely gets covered in the industry.

I felt it added a very personal element to the story and the scenes where his psychosis kicked in were outstanding. Detailed in the video below, Bratt goes over what the original plan for Dead Space 3 was and how EA’s expectations for continued sales basically killed the game before it had a chance.įor me, the best aspect of Dead Space 2 was the struggle Isaac was facing over the death of his girlfriend. To the surprise of no one, Dead Space 3‘s creative director Ben Wanat, who sat down for an interview with Eurogamer’s Chris Bratt, confirmed that the original pitch for the finale didn’t include any microtransactions or action-heavy elements. The game isn’t necessarily a bad action title, but it fails to be Dead Space and ultimately does nothing to close out the story of Isaac Clarke. There was a microtransaction-laden system which saw crafting materials drop at a lower rate to coax players into spending money, a co-op campaign that locked out some content in the campaign, and an ending that was hidden behind DLC. It eschewed the ideas that the first two games were building on and contained all of the worst bits of the modern games industry. For all intents and purposes, Dead Space 3 is a pretty big failure.
