We'll find out soon

A Dead Space reboot is happening if Jeff Grubb is to be believed (by principle don't, it's just a rumor remember).

Anyway, he talk about this since the beginning of this year but refused to elaborate at this time, saying "Motive is working on a game based on a know IP from EA that will make people happy"
Now he clearly state Motive first game is, indeed, Dead Space.

@1h17m52s



Jeff also mentioned in the video that other people at ResetEra for example has started hinting about this.
By other, he is definitely talking about Shinobi602 and Jez from Windows Central - both of them heavily hinted two weeks ago at a new Dead Space being in development.

Hopefully the lead is a female and/or black

 

[ManaByte]

Wait for it to be mobile.

 

[abel empire]

Hopefully put ur politics to yourself and let developers make a game they way they want.

 

[dukeoflegs]

Wasn't there a mobile game years ago that was pretty good?

 

[HotPocket69]

Good one

 

[Javthusiast]

So we get EA Dead Space and a Dead Space from the og Dead Space director? What was it called something Protocol?

From zero Dead Space to two. Well, will be a cool comparison. xD

[AJUMP23]

This time the threat is some bad tacos on Tuesday.

 

[Danjin44]

Dead Space is my favourite series from EA but in all honestly I just cant trust current EA delivering good Dead Space game.......I will be super happy if I'm wrong.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Mr weak heart is ready

 

[Shmunter]

Hope it’s true, and hope it’s a tight narrative single player experience for next gen only

Remaster the last 3 also please.

 

[Sander Cohen]

Yup, same as Danjin44 , don’t trust EA with this franchise anymore (or barely any franchise at that).

And yes, lead will be female/LGBT/minority.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

This is EA....they'll find some way to fuck it up somehow.

 

[Krappadizzle]

No faith at ALL they'll have a good reboot. First 2 DS games were awesome. 3rd was terrible. Really no interest in the franchise without the original creators working on it. Hope they can prove me wrong.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

This is EA....they'll find some way to fuck it up somehow.

For a company that is ginormous with a huge campus in Burnaby (which they'd brag about with promotional videos including their big mocap building), you'd think the games they make would be upper tier.

I don't find their games any better than anyone else's.

To me, the only thing that really sticks out from them as a big plus is having tons of sports licensed games for decades.

 

[Raekwon26]

Uh, this slob again.

After that whole "temper your expectations" garbage would of hoped we wouldn't hear from this slob for a while.

 

[j0hnnix]

Need to finish 2

 

[CatLady]

Great if true, but I'm not holding on any rumors from these so-called insiders. Lately pretty much nothing they've predicted has panned out except Starfield being exclusive to Xbox and even my cat could have predicted that one.

 

[TLZ]

Why do you need a reboot? The game was great already. If you want to do anything, just remake the gfx.

 

[reksveks]

And yes, lead will be female/LGBT/minority.

And?

 

[Oddvintagechap]

And yes, lead will be female/LGBT/minority.

Please please please dont do this to me. Please… Why me. I cant take it anymore.

They walk in my malls, my streets, they develop my games, design my horrible printed t-shirts, but CAN I please not have them in my games, its my last safe place.

 

[bender]

I love the first two titles. I replayed the second recently and it doesn't really hold up all that real. It has a lot of moments we all remember (eye poke) but the level design was much more of a haunted house thrill ride than I recall. I'm actually afraid to go back to the original and have my memories dashed.

 

[Golgo 13]

And?

The point you’re both missing is the voracious insincerity in these gestures these BILLION DOLLAR companies are making, and you’re both lapping it all up like starving Marxist lapdogs. These companies don’t give a FUCK about you, your sexuality, your skin color or other petty and hollow group identity markers - but they’ll do whatever they think will make them quick money through cheap virtue signaling. They love that you come on message boards and defend their manipulative and hollow gestures too.

Oh EA! SO BRAVE! Oh EA! Arbiters of morality and social equality!

thanks for assuming alot of shit on my behalf and putting words in my mouth?

 

[Classicrockfan]

The 3rd was the worst of the series hopefully it’s nothing like it.

 

[Arcadialane]

And?

And it's annoying

 

[reksveks]

And it's annoying

why?

cause it has a meaningful and causal relationship impact on the possible quality (don't know how we would measure this) of the game that couldn't be more likely attributed to another factor of the game development?

 

[Barakov]

I'm annoyed that Jeff grub looks like a knockoff John Romero and that shit is affecting my sleep schedule.

 

[Chris_Rivera]

 

[Corgi1985]

I'm hoping this is true and we get some more scifi horror in games.

 

[Shambala]

Damn grubb can these companies get to announce their own game …

 

[Hellmaker]

Where did these resetera morons come from?

 

[Silent Viper]

Hopefully the lead is a female and/or black

Female with revealing clothes should please everyone

 

[reksveks]

Where did these resetera morons come from?

Making an assumption but I think I would fit into the bucket of 'Resetera morons', just wanted to highlight i was/we were not the one bringing up the issue about the sex/gender/ethnicity of the possible main character, I assume that was one of the 'don't bring politics into game' morons

 

[Barakov]

Shame about that matte finish.

 

[Diddy X]

Where did these resetera morons come from?

Resetera.

 

[Elbow Identity Shallow]

It's no wonder Mark Cerny lookd so happy in this photo from the PS5 GDC show.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

YOU BETTER BE RIGHT ABOUT THIS, JEFF!!!!
He's been spot on lately, but I hope this is not one of the things he gets wrong.
I'd love to see Gunner Wright back, but if they decide to reboot the franchise I just want it to follow the same model as Jedi Fallen Order did and make it a complete single player experience from day one with no DLC. And as long as the game is good, I don't care if they make the protagonist an asexual purple martian with tentacles who needs no other martian.

 

[STARSBarry]

Hopefully the lead is a female and/or black

I'm all in for this if she has huge tits and an ass the size of Texas.

 

[skneogaf]

Dead space is one of my favourite games ever.

I'd buy dead space anything!

 

[SinDelta]

Dead Space is my favourite series from EA but in all honestly I just cant trust current EA delivering good Dead Space game.......I will be super happy if I'm wrong.

I'm imagining Vanillaware doing a take on the Dead Space setting and it's kind of awesome.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Please be like part 1.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Holy fuck if this is true, I have to get a PS5 or Xbox.


I loved Dead Space.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm imagining Vanillaware doing a take on the Dead Space setting and it's kind of awesome.

I LOVE Vanillaware but the reason I like Dead Space because it VERY well made 3rd person survival horror.

Vanillaware’s specialty is hand painted 2D games, is not exactly fit for Dead Space.

 

[reektann]

I love Dead Space.

I hope this one has card packs and a season / battle pass and the enemies drop currency you use with a man to buy loot boxes. Going to be shit hot.

 

[carlosrox]

Dead Space is an amazing IP.

I need part 4.

All 3 are great. My fave is still the first. Pretty much a perfect game.

 

[GamingKaiju]

Ellie goes back for Issac?

Thought after he had destroyed the moon he had killed the hive mind of the necromorphs.

Not sure how I feel about this I love the DS franchise but not been done by the original team and still under greedy EA’s tendrils probably infused with the Wokeavirus that is going around, I’m not so sure this will be the DS4 I was hoping for but let’s see how it goes.

 

[Arun1910]

The replies in this thread are embarrassing. I can’t believe how personally some of you take the GENDER or SKIN COLOUR of a Character. Maybe it is for the sake of diversity, so what? It doesn’t do any harm to anything. As long as the game is solid why it should it matter?

 

[Black_Stride]

Hopefully the lead is a female and/or black

The horror

As long as everything they learnt from Dead Space 3.....is thrown the fuck out.
The game should be closer to the first 2 than the third game.

That shit was so bad it didnt even feel like a Dead Space game.
