As things begin in full, we find Isaac is living in a rundown apartment, drinking heavily and disconnected from the world. The story of Dead Space 3 picks up some time after the thrilling ending of the sublime Dead Space 2, though not before giving players a truly fantastic prologue sequence to play through that really sets the scene for the rest of the game. The relationship between Isaac and Ellie takes centre stage but the love triangle is unnecessary Well, I would call the final released result a compromise, but I am glad to say that Dead Space 3 retains what makes this series so great, mostly. There was a clear danger that Dead Space would fall down the same hole that Capcom lead the Resident Evil series into with 6, and submit to the call of “streamlining” the finale of the Dead Space trilogy at the expense of the series roots. Increased focus on action, microtransactions, co-op campaigns and the supposed need to sell 5 million copies for “success” all indicated a damaging attitude from EA, and I was worried about how this would impact on Visceral’s work.
That said I was concerned about Dead Space 3 during its development. Dead Space is among the bright lights of game series originating in this current generation for me, with its first entry providing a chilling and highly polished horror game while its sequel increased the action and maintained the personalised story.
