They'd also invest in animated movies, complex interactive websites, novels, and spin-off games to promote the franchise.ĭespite what EA hoped, and even with its critical success, the game didn't sell how it had hoped or wanted. While not technically the start of the franchise, EA saw promise with it, and invested heavily to market it, releasing (among other things) a comic book series prior to the launch of the game. The year is 2008, and a new game by EA Redwood Shores (later renamed to Visceral Games) has just been released: Dead Space. On the other hand, EA's previous actions won't just go away. Of course, pricing issues are usually temporary (unless you're Nintendo) as you can expect game prices to go down over time. DLC related to extra rigs also wasn't released on PC. *There are, however, mouse issues that can be fixed with a mod, and issues that can present themselves when running the game at over 120 FPS. While these are all potentially good changes, does it warrant a $60 USD price tag (and it even has a 10-dollar DLC)? Especially considering the original is still playable on current hardware, either by using a PC* or using Xbox's backward compatibility, it may be hard for individual players to justify the spend. The Dead Space remake has seen a weapon rebalance, new graphics, new zero gravity controls, more side quests, and Isaac now has full voice acting. When you release a game, it doesn't exist in a vacuum, it competes against what's in the market, and, in the case of remakes, it also has to compete against the original. Having said that, there are two issues that will prevent me from buying the game: one that would, by itself, prevent me from getting the game for some time, and other baggage that will prevent it indefinitely.

The Dead Space Remake has launched to nearly universal acclaim, with strong scores from both critics and players, and will probably end up being one of the strongest horror releases of the year.
