EA is reportedly polling fans on if they would like to see remakes of Dead Space 2 and 3.

According to game developer Dillon Rogers, they received a survey asking, “how interested would you be in a similar remake of Dead Space 2 (2011)?”

The survey reportedly asks the same question about Dead Space 3, which was released in 2013.

For me, what I like is that it gives us a lot of traction moving forwards, in terms of finishing that game. Personally, I’m a big fan of Dead Space, but as for the future, I don’t know

I cannot speak for the other project, but what I can say is that it’s not uncommon to have studios with multiple projects. Especially in big companies like EA. The thing in terms of recruitment, and again I’m speaking only about Dead Space, is that I joined to work on this game and we have a lot of people here like that. That brand, as a developer, has a lot of appeal.

 

[The Cockatrice]

2 yes. 3 remake and rewrite and just change everything.

 

[Gerdav]

They emailed me that survey last night, I just deleted it expecting it to be the usual crap .

Oh no you've ruined our chance of getting these games

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yes, do 2 and 3, and then do a brand new game for the love of god, lol.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Absolutely would LOVE a remake of all 3 of them. Dead Space 3 wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, IMO. Just bring back, regular ammo and get rid of COOP. and it'll be fine.

 

[TLZ]

Of course. It's a no brainer.

 

[Fake]

BF3

 

[TintoConCasera]

Isn't there an option for Dead Space 4?

 

[Black_Stride]

As long as they completely redo Dead Space 3 im all in.

No co-op, dont make it a third person shooter.

Basically everything in this screenshot.......just NO!!!

 

[HL3.exe]

Waste of resources if you ask me. Just make a new one. Game feel wise those 'old' ones still feel great from a game-logic standpoint. 3's structure was kinda ruined by greed sure, but instead of a redo, just make 4 or reboot it.

This nostalgia bait era is cringe AF.

 

[SmokedMeat]

No EA, you remake this next.

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

If anybody votes for Dead Space 3 I've lost all faith in gamers, unless they completely change the game. Now a Dead Space 2 remake would make be super happy

 

[hemo memo]

If they plan to remove MTX from 3 then yes.

 

[dDoc]

Dead Space remake was awesome. It superseded the original in every way.

Would love a 2 remake.

3 not so much unless they really put in the work and redo a lot of it.

 

[Tomeru]

EA will be EA. Weird company.

 

[dotnotbot]

If they plan to remove MTX from 3 then yes.

MTX in 3 didn't hurt anything. Even on the highest diffulty setting I was swimming in ammo so there was no point in buying more. Didn't feel a need to buy upgrades either.

 

[nowhat]

Dead Space Extraction VR.

Oh, didn't hear me yet? Here it comes again: Dead Space Extraction VR.

I will continue to repeat this until EA finally gets it.

 

[Salz01]

I wish they would create an online poll. So I can rate yes to DS2, and no to DS3.

 

[Black_Stride]

Waste of resources if you ask me. Just make a new one. Game feel wise those 'old' ones still feel great from a game-logic standpoint. 3's structure was kinda ruined by greed sure, but instead of a redo, just make 4 or reboot it.

This nostalgia bait era is cringe AF.

New Audience who werent even alive when Dead Space 2 came out.
New Audience who have been captured by Dead Space R.
New Audience who have not been poisoned by Dead Space 3.
They can probably churn out the 2 remakes faster than a brand new title.
And by fixing Dead Space 3 they can make a true Dead Space 4 that jumps off from the new Dead Space 3 ending point.

 

[EN250]

Remake of 2
Now for the 3rd, wipe it from memory and start from scratch with a sequel more in line with the previous games

 

[Skifi28]

They emailed me that survey last night, I just deleted it expecting it to be the usual crap .

 

[Vick]

D1 Collector's Edition DS2 baby.
Make it less linear/more interconnected.

Then Remake Extraction for VR2 as nowhat said. Then Remake DS Mobile as DLC. Then redo DS3 almost entirely, and then give us DS4.

Make Us Whole.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Looking at Crash Bandicoot as a case study, the remake sold well but then the full sequel that came next was DOA.
I don't blame EA for being uncertain of what to do next.

Personally, I would gobble up more Dead Space in any form as long as it feels like a 7 out or 10 or better because I'm a little piggie.

 

[shaddam]

DS2 yes, DS3 NO
They should also rerelease Dante's Inferno. Played it a few years ago for the first time. It is really good, but releasing it so close to GOW3 was suicidal

 

[VN1X]

Nah just do remasters of DS2 & DS3 and instead put resources towards a completely new title in the franchise.

 

[EverydayBeast]

 

[ACESHIGH]

Not a fan of this trend of remaking 7th gen games. They still look amazing when played on a cheap PC maxed out and can be bought for pennies on the dollar. How about releasing games not on PC like Dantes Inferno, Shadows of The Dammed or the Burnout games? Burnout 3, now thats a game that could benefit from a remaster and re release in modern platforms.

 

[sinnergy]

Yes EA , do it !

 

[Imtjnotu]

Oh what the fuck EA.


Fix your other games. Remake the games we actually we want.

We've collectively been asking you for a Bad Company 2 remake for years.

 

[Mister Wolf]

They can keep the same plot of DS3 and just Remake everything else. All new locations on the planet, new enemies, etc. Remove the co-op and up the horror.

 

[Neff]

Obviously yes to 2

3 needs a little refinement and I'm sure it would get it. That said it's nowhere near as bad as it's suggested to be.

 

[K' Dash]

I thought they were knee deep into development

 

[Kurotri]

Give me the fucking survey are they dense of course they should be remade

 

[BennyBlanco]

DS2 > DS1 >>>> DS3

I would buy a ds2 remake sight unseen.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Remake DS2, throw out everything about DS3 and do it competently this time.

 

[radewagon]

Yes for both. I loved DS2. The return to the Ishimura segment is just about the most anxiety inducing thing I've experienced next to P.T. And with DS3... yeah, go for it. It's a very misunderstood game. Is it anywhere near as good as the first 2? Not even close. But, as someone already said, the microtransactions weren't really all that problematic in actual practice and the game, while much heavier on the action, kind of went where most horror series eventually go anyway. Unless you flip the script substantially, it's hard to keep making the same thing scary. Most horror franchises end up becoming more action or comedy heavy as they move forward. For what it's worth, I'd actually like to see them double down on the action in DS3 and give us something absolutely insane where they jump the shark like in Metal Gear Rising.

 

[anthraticus]

All these Dead Space games aren't even old and dont even need remakes. (not that most old games do anyway)

Creatively bankrupt ?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Playing through dead space 3 right now with a friend. Enjoying it.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

All these Dead Space games aren't even old and dont even need remakes.

Creatively bankrupt ?

Yes.
The current state of the industry is really, really bad.

Reboots/Remakes have become excuses to be lazy and *not* take risks.
Risk aversion is killing this industry.

Thankfully Nintendo is still there taking risks with their games.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Remake Mirrors Edge please, particularly the combat

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

DS3 probably needs a complete rework, but DS2 should receive DS1 treatment 100%

 

[Spukc]

i would rather have dead space 4 but o k a y

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Dead Space remake is easily my GOTY so far. They would be crazy not to remake Dead Space 2.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Dead Space 2 - hell yeah. After that make a completely new game and forget that DS3 ever existed.

 

[brian0057]

Remake the second one and stop. Dead Space 2 had a great ending for the series.
Leave the third one to die in a ditch, where it belongs. Fuck that game.

 

[Husky]

Dead Space 3 was a killer co-op experience, remake the whole series faithfully and then finally continue this story.

 

[mrmustard]

I'll gladly take DS2, but i don't need DS3.

 

[Captain Toad]

2, absolutely

3 only of you make major changes to make it like the first two

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I'll take a remake of 3. Never played it and maybe they could put it right judging from the warm reception DS1 got.
