I honestly think you can’t have an opinion on how a game play’s till it releases and we have the final version of the game. And has no one listened to what the developers have been saying bout what they have been showing? The ice planet is half-way through Act II of the game. we don’t know how many Acts there are and what they have. So before people go off saying, “It’s an action game now!” Wait until the final product is released and quit being so ignorant.

Or you could stop making assumptions and wait for the game to come out first.

Some say that would be the wise choice…

I don’t have to play it because I already have, only with more suspense/horror. It’s called Dead Space 2. Keep all the incredible fight scenes with you going up an elevator that’s covered in giant necromorphs and fantastic zero gravity gameplay but take away the scare of discovering that enemy you were shooting is invincible or make ammo universal so you can prioritize in one kill-all weapon with no strategy whatsoever. There’s another franchise that has taken a fairly similar turn, I can tell what the feeling would be like and I don’t want it.

I don’t need another 3rd person shooter with zombies, everyone else is entitled to play it as much as they like. I wouldn’t enjoy it, doesn’t mean you wouldn’t. In opinion, I’m sure this game could be up there in the running for game of the year, doesn’t defeat the fact that I wouldn’t enjoy it.

Its unfortunate to see people not try a game out just because they think it may suck. Oh well.

I can agree with you on the genre-change – it seems like Dead Space has been getting progressively less survival-horror and more gore-horror. However, I would assume that you’re wrong about the less emphasis on strategy. Because you’re working with non-standard weapons, ammo is CERTAINLY going to be scarce, and now, you’re going to be hoping that that corpse is gonna give up some health or ammo rather than a gun part you aren’t going to use.
On the topic of the hybrid guns – not all parts are going to work the same, and I would guess many won’t work well together (that Shotty-Sniper isn’t going to work as well as you think it would), so there’s always a chance that that “perfect loadout” will be changing per level, and the new enemy types certainly aren’t going to make things easier.
I’d imagine that they’re trying to add more bits onto the Left 4 Dead style of co-op: you and your buddy are going to have to sync up roles and inventories in order to survive.

Just play it on hard. I played DS2 on hard first and I can guarantee you that you will be conserving ammo. It was intense just like the first one. In fact maybe more so

I won’t get Dead Space 3 for two reasons:
A) It has become solely an action-thriller game and not a survival horror
B) The newest additions to the game are coop and making the necromorphs faster, as the author seems to remind us throughout the article

I’m not against the action-thriller genre, but when one of my favorite survival horror games degrades into having universal ammo, fully modifiable weaponry taking away from any tactical necessity from different weapons, cooperative play that detracts from the lonely atmosphere, less darkness and STILL tries to sell itself as survival horror, that’s where I draw some sort of line here…
————————————————-
Yeah… I did it… A dotted line, but still.
It’s not that I don’t like Dead Space 3, I’m sure it will be full of the exciting big monster fights/instances where you have to shoot the yellow tumors to win while sliding down a falling subway train that made Dead Space 2 such a great game, I just want that same hopelessness Dead Space 1 gave me with having to save resources as to not end up with an armory supply to mow down the baddies without a care. Now I know how Resident Evil fans feel.
