Dead Space 3 hype machine set in motion, can anyone hear it scream?

Monday, July 16th, 2012 by

Electronic Arts deep space scarefest isn’t due out until early 2013, but it’s never too early to hype things up. The pay off is always worth it. Am I right, Duke Nukem fans?

I know this won’t be a train wreck like Duke Nukem was. It’s just, man, twenty minutes of footage for a game that’s eight months away seems a bit much, doesn’t it?

From the EA presser:

With an all-new ice planet, drop-in/drop-out co-op, and exhilarating action, Dead Space 3 will re-set the bar for epic thrills in 2013.

Key Features

New Hostile Environment – Dead Space 3 will take players on a thrilling ride across the depths of space and a frozen Necromorph-infested planet. On Tau Volantis, players must overcome deadly avalanches, treacherous ice-climbs and the violent wilderness in this spine-tingling new adventure. To get past the horrors that lie hidden on this planet, players must comb through the environments different hubs, caverns and side paths for raw materials and scavenged parts, putting Isaac’s engineering skills to the ultimate test.
Team Up and Take Down the Terror Together – Play the full campaign alone or seamlessly team up with a friend using the new co-op option. Either way, the action is intense, the adventure is exhilarating and the thrills are unforgettable. Players that choose to take down the terror together will get to play the new character, Sergeant John Carver. Carver is a hardened soldier who lost his wife and son to the Necromorph infestation and wants to avenge their deaths. Co-op offers players a second way to play through the game with fully-integrated story cutscenes, added dialogue between Isaac and Carver and additional side missions that only Carver can unravel.
Uncover the Past to Save the Future of Mankind – Find answers to many questions around the whole Dead Space lore including the origins of the Marker, the existence of the Necromorphs and how the two are related. In Dead Space 3, hero Isaac Clarke finally discovers the source of the Necromorph outbreak – the key to ending the terror forever and preventing the extinction of mankind.

    I’ll play it unless it gets terrible scores, but definitely solo the first time. Co-op Dead Space… that just seems wrong, like how Resident Evil 5 ruined the creepy feeling of RE4.
