Dead Space 3 Could Be an FPS...Bah!

It was said late last year that EA was looking to expand the Dead Space franchise, talking about maybe putting out some sort of FPS, a space battles game, and/or an Uncharted-style action/adventure game. Though they said that Dead Space would continue along as always (they even hinted that the third installment would take place on an ice world to change things up a little), this still riled many fans.

 

Now it looks like they may be going forward with that expansion; at least that's the best case scenario. Visceral Games has a job posting up looking for "an avid FPS gamer" and someone with "previous experience as a Multiplayer level designer" on shooters. They are also hiring an Environment Artist to work on the Dead Space franchise, so they're not hiding the fact that they are working on their successful IP.

 

So one way or another we're getting more Dead Space. Whether that will be the classic, third-person survival horror game of old (and maybe some multiplayer like in Dead Space 2), an FPS with multiplayer, a space battles game, or an Uncharted-style game, or one of each remains to be seen.

 

What do you think?

An action-oriented, FPS Dead Space doesn't sound much like Dead Space at all.

honestly 3rd person horror games arent really frightening or fun at all. DS1 was shit DS2 was a different smell of shit and the only decent 3rd person horror game is the RE series. So this is a step in the right direction

Dead Space 3 will be classic Dead Space. They might include another FPS side game like Dead Space: Extraction, which is an "On-Rails FPS".
