It's going to be announced sooner or later, so why not make one now.

Dead Space 3 Takes Place On A Frozen Planet, First Details Inside

Electronic Arts is developing a new Dead Space game. No surprise there, but it doesn’t take place on a spaceship. Dead Space 3 is set on Tau Volantis, an icy planet where Isaac Clarke has to wade through white-out blizzard conditions.

Early in Dead Space 3, Isaac crash lands on the planet. He believes he may be the only survivor and makes his way to an abandoned waystation, which he uses for shelter from the snowstorm. There he finds a survivor who is severely injured. Isaac speaks to the near dead comrade who reveals there are other survivors that trekked off to another facility. One of them is Ellie, a key character from the original Dead Space game. Isaac grabs a snowsuit and heads into the blizzard.

Later in the game, Isaac reunites with Ellie and a new character named Jennifer. The trio scale a mountain, but Jennifer is reluctant to do so. She’s a tech type excited over finding a codex and plans to reverse engineer research by a group called Rosetta to gain access to it. As they climb up the mountain, they hear a howl from below, but cannot spot what kind of creature made the sound.

The enemies in Dead Space 3 are being referred to as "the hive mind."

This news comes from our mole that sent us details about Electronic Arts’ Syndicate reboot a few months early (stories: here and here). Pictures are from previous Dead Space games.

Care to elaborate, Kyo?

ok so random question, but has it been brought up whether alien life (plants and animals) has been found on other planets in the DS universe? I know they said they haven't found intelligent life, but I'm wondering if they've mentioned anything about lower forms of alien life on other worlds in the supplemental materials in the games/books. I bet it'd be sweet to see what happens when the marker interacts with alien DNA, rather than what we've already seen of the effects on lifeforms from earth.

don't think anything has been leaked then what has been posted. It was only brought to the media attention the other week through an add in Israel

First game really didn't merit a sequel and nor did the second one... Yay for greedy people though.

**Kwijiboe** · 2011-09-26 21:43

First game was excellent. Someone show this man the door.

Where did I say it wasn't a good game? I enjoyed it thoroughly and did like 4 playthroughs on various difficulties.

But did it need a sequel? Hell no, it ended just fine and the story for the second game was shit and will probably be for the 3rd.

Both of the Dead Space games were excellent. I honestly thought the second story was much better because we got to see the internal battle of Isaac. That being said, why come into a Dead Space thread and shit it up already?

Except everything in the second game was predictable to a T. Game was not even remotely scary like the first one was and it was just repetitive. See Zero Punctuation's review of 2 for the majority of my thoughts on the game. That being said, all I said was that 1, being an excellent game, did not need a sequel. So I fail to see why the 2nd one does, especially when it wasn't as good as the first one.

Stating an opinion =/= shitting up a thread.

I like the games, Both of them. Unfortunately #2 had no sense of build up, it just went straight into trying to fuck with you, Literally. Really, It needs to be more Silent Hill than Resident Evil4/5. This is just my Opinion. That being said, I don't mind a third game, Hopefully they take a more subtle approach to the horror, I know the first game wasn't "Subtle" after about the first hour, but it was definitely a bit more scary.

Then again it could just be that I'm older than i was when i played the first game.

Regardless, looking forward to it. Meriting a sequal or not, It was a fun enjoyable game, and i look forward to it.

I agree, if they can make the game more like Silent Hill, I'm sure it'll be great, but I swear to god if there are any more sequences where you're just gunning down multitudes of monsters with no sense of danger whatsoever will be really disappointed.

sounds stupid. hope its not true.

Spoiler: show

Expect this is 2013 late. Cant go into much detail right now, but the premise is interesting. Also expect a Dead Space on the Vita sometime next year.

**Saga** · 2011-10-04 13:12

Just ordered the first one off Amazon, haven't played either one yet but I'm looking forward to it. Generally I'm too much of a bitch to play anything scary but something recently really made me want to try playing through it and play through the second one.

Kyo you arent allowed to post in this thread.

**bori** · 2011-10-05 09:42

Woo! Excited! Love the Dead Space series!

I'm guessing all of this means no further DS2 DLC?
