EA: Single player Dead Space games were too scary. So we introduce Co-Op

another reason why ea wants you too hate them

Really?; I thought the original intention of Dead Space was to be scary.

My reaction when I read the title was a big facepalm.

Man I hate EA sometimes.

EA's train of thought in a nutshell..

Seriously... WTF?!?!?!

Fvck you, EA.

The first 2 games were not scary. Frankly Co Op doesn't bother me though.

EA is a terrible company. They ask their consumers (all of them, not just the vocal forum posters) what they want and then they try to implement it. They deserve all the hate they get!Sushiglutton

Scary=less kids

They want more kids playing Dead Space, simple as that.

Wait why are you people mad for? What's wrong with adding a co-op OPTION if single player is still there unchanged? :? Co-op isn't forced.

So, they basically killed the last good survival horror series on consoles! As allways, good job EA....

My thoughts exactly. As long as they don't implement AI co-op (RE5 I'm looking at you) then I couldn't care less...And like you said co-op play isn't forced. So why does it matter?

good God. That has to be one of the worst things they've said. First of all the games aren't scary at all really and second they're trying to be scary because they were horror games. It's like saying we're making BF4 third person because previous BF games were too first person

I predict no Dead Space 4. It's like all these big corps are run by retards.

I can't believe EA is just this low, and it saddens me that some of my favorite franchises are in their hands.

Isn't that the ****ing point? OMG EA.

"But she insisted fans of the series shouldn't be worried that the third game will drop its predecessors' scare tactics in favour of an all-out action approach."

And from what I understand the co-op is completely optional. But yeah, some of what she said was pretty stupid.

Lol?

Corect me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Dead Space ip was suppoused to be scary. There is no such thing as "too scary".

It's almost as if the targeted demographics of video games are younger and dumber people as time goes on.

Before we all know it...

This will be considered a big-budget, AAA title on the market.

Whys everyone acting like EA has just eaten their hamster. :|

So,you make a game. A horror game. A scary game.

And now you go ahead and say that it's too scary,so we should add coop. Make it less scary.

:?

Well,COD has too much explosions,so we're letting ThatGameCompany handle the next COD.

The problem however is that Dead Space 1 and 2 weren't scary. Sure they could startle you, but it all just felt kind of silly how hard they tried to make it scary.

One small mistake in regards to this story: it's, uh, catagorically untrue. The real quote is that the game will be just as scary as the prior DS titles, with co-op serving to fill the void between the prior DS games and people who may like horror movies and the like, but only if they're watching it with someone else.

In fact EA is building a separate, tweaked version of the campaign for co-op so that they can retain as much of the horror and suspense as possible. So not only are people getting all uppity over a misquote, but one of the few examples of EA going above and beyond to make sure their game is as good as possible.

He also stated that it is just as scary, just being with another person makes you feel more comfortable. I don't liek the direction, but the title and quote are somewhat taken out of context, and no one cares to actually read the article.

I think whoever made this decision in EA has to leave. That person does not understand games at all.

What is this? I don't even.....
