It sucks about what happened. I loved this series. I have fond memories of getting the small art book at the mall when I went to pick up my preorder for the original. I loved the atmosphere and the way Isaac controlled. I loved the zero g feeling and the way items were placed around the map.
The story was pretty good. I enjoyed how it was a layman's job caught in this mess. I still keep wallpapers for Dead Space on my phone.
The sequel came out and I remember getting the game at midnight. I played that game all night and into the morning. Such an awesome game. I really enjoyed the flow of the game and all the wards/areas of the exploration.
I remember getting Dead Space on iOS and that was a lot of fun. It was playable too (just like Mass Effect on iOS), but sadly it became incompatible with newer iOS. I gladly paid for it too.
I remember Dead Space Extraction the most on PS3 because it came with the limited edition. I still play it with a controller.
Dead Space 3 was fun for a while, but EA wanted to tone down the horror for co-op which was stupid. The DLC to Dead Space 3 made me think they'd make a Dead Space 4. Since they went down the Mass Effect 3 dilemma.
Outside of Capcom and Konami, Dead Space's western take on horror in space is one of my favorites. Games like Prey do well with zero gravity and very campy tones. I just wish the series would have stayed around or at least had gotten an HD Remaster.
I even own the Art of Dead Space and the novels. Seeing other fans (like me) own statues and figures of Dead Space is very cool.
