Fighting human enemies is a welcome change, but they just can't replicate the tension of a mutating space zombie jerkily advancing on you in the dark. As he escaped the space station he was holed up on, much of the gameplay felt more action-horror than survival-horror.Ī scene involving a white-knuckle escape from a crashing space-train was undeniably exciting, but the fear of the first two games was thin on the ground. In the section I played, Isaac came up against human and alien enemies. What created the markers and what were they intended to do? What is the final form of a Necromorph? With the promise of answers to these questions, could we be looking at the end of Isaac's story? Probably not, as Dead Space is one of EA's premier moneymakers and one of their most endearing franchises of this console generation. In the first two Dead Space games, answers were thin on the ground, but the third entry is slated to finally explain some of the mysteries that have sat just beyond our reach since the series' inception. While I can't tell you how the co-op affects the gameplay, at least Visceral Games have promised some answers. Sadly, my playthrough didn't include any co-op, so we shall have to wait for the game's imminent release to see how it stacks up. This is an interesting change for a series that has relied on the isolation and tension of going up against a ravening horde of undead on your lonesome. The snowstorms that plague the planet do make a delightfully creepy change to the stagnant air of a spaceship as visibility and movement are low but death waits around every frozen corner.įor the first time in the series the campaign can be played co-operatively with the second player filling Carver's boots. Tau Volantis is where the majority of the game is set and the home of the markers, the alien monoliths that create Necromorphs, but I only got to see a small section of the planet's icy surface. You soon find yourself floating above the brand new ice planet Tau Volantis in the wreckage of a 200-year-old space disaster with alien monsters closing in. Surprisingly, Isaac's favourite lady, Ellie, needs saving again and Isaac happens to be the best (craziest) man for the job. I won't spoil too much, but he is required to vacate the premises in a hurry and quickly establishes an uneasy alliance with John Carver, the new military man who will be accompanying you throughout. Much of the gameplay will be familiar to fans.
