Dead Space developer wants to return to the series

Visceral Games apparently wants to revisit the Dead Space series and work on a new game. Right now, the company is focused on launching Battlefield Hardline but at some point in the future, the studio may return to the series that kicked everything off.

Speaking with GamesTM (Via Gamespot), Visceral Games General Manager, Steve Paputsis, said: “Many, many people here at Visceral have a warm spot in their heart for Dead Space, and right now we're busy with Hardline and…other things… but it's definitely something we'd love to look at again. There's definitely a lot of interest internally for us to pick that up again at a future date”.

So far, EA has remained quiet on the subject of future Dead Space titles as the last game in the series, Dead Space 3, failed to meet sales expectations. Additionally, Visceral has an unannounced Star Wars project in the works, headed by the former creative director of the Uncharted series.

Battlefield Hardline launches next week, the studio then has five more DLCs planned for the game. It's likely that the Star Wars project is taking up a decent chunk of the studio's resources as well so while Visceral might want to return to Dead Space, it could be a while before we see it happen.

KitGuru Says: I really enjoyed Dead Space 1 but I didn't get around to playing the last two. What do you guys think of the Dead Space series? Should Visceral Games revisit it at some point?

KitGuru Games: Omni-movement culminates 30 years of FPS innovation

Black Ops 6 is officially here, bringing the innovative new Omni-movement system to the game. While on the surface a relatively simple change, I argue that Treyarch intimately studied DOOM and the past 30 years of first-person shooter evolution to craft one of the most satisfying gameplay systems yet.

  1. If EA can let Visceral do its thing I think another Dead Space game will do well, but that’s a mighty big if. lol

  2. Let’s be honest, we all know it’s EA, who is the bad guy here… If they didn’t put their EA-onic mark on DS3, fourth title could have been out by now.

  3. completly agree, Deadspace is my all time favorite series. the first one was amazing. the second was meh. the third was actually pretty damn good. but as you say, you had to avoid/tolirate the EA influence.

  5. Ds1 in my opinion was the only good one.. 2 and 3 was too much of an action game/super hero which ruined the immersion for me.
