The 'numbers just aren't there,' Dead Space producer says, and that's why we'll probably never see Dead Space 4

Remember a couple years back, when some of the top men behind the Dead Space series dangled a fourth game in front of Electronic Arts, and the response was basically, "Lose my number?" It sounds very much like that was the last gasp for the once-great horror games, at least for the foreseeable future, as producer Chuck Beaver said in an interview with FRVR that it just doesn't have the juice to sa...

Get up to 85% off the Dead Space games in EA's franchise sale, including Motive's excellent remake that will probably never see a successor

In space, no one can hear you scream "The Dead Space remake is 85% off!" So it's a good thing that I'm not in space, or, indeed, screaming. Yes, EA is currently selling all the Dead Space games in a way that won't cost you an arm and a leg, including Visceral Games' trilogy and EA Motive's 2023 overhaul... Read more.

The creator of Dead Space 'would love to make an Alien game'

Dead Space, along with so much sci-fi horror, probably wouldn't exist without Alien. Ridley Scott set the bar high, and for close to 50 years the xenomorph's first outing has informed what people want and expect from their cosmic nightmares... Read more.

The OG creators pitched Dead Space 4 to EA this year, but the publisher gave a flat 'no' so 'we didn't take it any further'

The key creatives behind Dead Space have revealed that earlier this year they tried to interest Electronic Arts in Dead Space 4, but the publisher took a pass. The 2008 game, developed by Visceral Games and directed by Glen Schofield, is an action-horror classic and inspired an excellent remake by Motive Studios released last year. It also spawned two Visceral-developed sequels, as well as The C...

EA denies rumor that it canceled an in-progress Dead Space 2 remake

fter last year's well-received Dead Space remake, one might've expected EA to put a team at developer Motive on a remake of Dead Space 2. It doesn't look like that's happening, though, because EA announced this week that the Dead Space remake's leads are now gathering a team to work on the Battlefield series... Read more.

This year's Dead Space Remake sets a bold new precedent for the future of my favourite sci-fi horror series

I'm not a big fan of scary stuff, but weirdly enough, that often makes playing horror games a far more memorable experience. Being a big ol' scaredy cat, I have to psych myself up before delving into a game that I know is going to terrify me, but I feel all the more triumphant for managing to make it through... Read more.

Dead Space 3 producer says he'd 'throw away and rewrite' the entire main story if he could

We said in our long-ago review of Dead Space 3 that it suffered from an "identity crisis." Series star Isaac Clarke very suddenly went from being an engineer in a tight spot (and with a precarious grip on reality) in the first two games to a full-blown action hero in the third: "Isaac fights wave after wave of monsters while saying things like, 'I turned my back on the world because I couldn&...

Forget the Dead Space Remake, this free PS1 demake is the true retelling of Isaac Clarke's story

This year's Dead Space remake was pretty good. In fact, if you forced someone like PCG's Sean Martin to put a number on it and publish that number in an international videogames outlet, he'd say it was 84% good. But that doesn't mean it couldn't be better. What if, for example, its searing, high-res textures were replaced with a swimmy clatter of pixels? What if its sleek ...

First spotted by VGC, Gloomwood developer Dillon Rogers shared screenshots of a purported EA survey gauging interest in remakes of Dead Space's sequels. The horror aficionado in question naturally checked "extremely interested.".. Read more.
