The Dead Space franchise has been one of the most scary, creepy, down right awesome first person shooter experiences you can have in the gaming world. I mean I know I don't like playing any of these games in the dark, not even my iPad version of Dead Space. This series is known for it's creepiness and the alone feeling you get while playing this scarefest of a shooter. Sadly though with the announcement of DeadSpace 3 at E3 we are getting a buddy to tag along with us.
Now don't get me wrong I love a good co-op game, and I know that they are all the rage right now. Which is why co-op was added to this game. Which they must think makes it have more appeal but honestly I think that will completely take away the awesomeness of this game. It has always played on your fears just a little bit, the loneliness that is playing this game in the creepy environments where anything and everything will jump out at you in dark corners. Having someone tag along with you whether player or AI just makes this game feel completely different.
The developers obviously wanted to go this route and maybe that was their goal to move the franchise away from the lone wolf aspect of the other two Dead Space games. Now will this one fact make the game bad, probably not but it will make it feel less of a Dead Space game that everyone came to know and love.
Now if you will excuse me I am going to go turn all the lights on in my house and sit by my dog while I play my iPad Dead Space game...
