Dead Space 3 gets co-op - Report

If you don't like co op don't use it , problem solved.

Will there be splitscreen?

the co op may be a good thing u never know but what they should do is make a sorda complete different story line for co op like they did for portal 2 and they might make something out like side missions or make it a free roam maybe ( that's just an idea that i'm not sure about) but if they do make co op they should do like they did in portal 2. and what i'm thinking they should do is if they have several different playable characters for the co op person then they should have a special weapon for that specific character and regardless for the co op person if they have a survival option. the only thing i foresee in a co op option is that u might get online with somebody who is uncooperative then that is y u be smart and play with friends that u know r. in addition to the co op they might do decisions like from infamous not necessarily to earn karma but to affect the end of the game maybe like the mass effect series does and to maybe go off and affect u by going into a death scene. and i'm only a sophomore in high school and even i know that repetition doesn't work after the 2nd or 3rd time. they need to put an evil character in the game and make appear several times in the game not to irritate people but to make a plot twist or something, and make that character do some good things to help Isaac out but only to try to lead him to his doom, cause i know that some of u guys ' comments said that they were getting smarter as well as evolving. 

bro, you need to play 2 as well, you've got plenty of time, since DS3 is coming out on february 2013

What ! Is there going to be a Dead Space 3? I only played the 1st one.

coudl this be the first ever super scary split screen co-op game???? resident evil doesnt count nor does FEAR because both sucked. Singleplayer FEAR was good but in split it was terrible. Please o please, give me split.......

now that's what i'm talkin' about ;) "can't w8 !!"

Dead space 3 coop !!! This will be the most interesting dead space from all 3.

That is disappointing they are putting co-op into single player. I absolutely love DS, played both game and finished both of them at least 10 times each and completed all of the achievements and still kept playing them. The best thing about it was that you were alone, you can't just bi**h it and get a buddy to come help you out. What they really should do is put in a multiplayer co-op mode like a wave survival mode or side missions that make a back story to the single player game wihtout directly affecting singleplayer. DS thrives on it's singleplayer, and because of that if they add in a co-op they'll have to pretty much re-write the scares and gameplay to fit the co-op mode sacrificing the integrity of singleplayer, even if you were to never even touch the co-op side of it. My thoughts as a DS veteran anyway.

Stop putting co-op into games that don't need it, it'll ruin the isolated feeling you get while playing this kind of game and subtract from the horror element that it's widely known for.

Games like this should always be single player only, lets hope they're just joking about the co-op.

DS3, OMG. 

Ill probaly play co-op with my brother but only one selections i have already beat on single player remember kids co-op is optional (high pitched girly voice on the optional) as long as its long great atmospheric game as well as challenging ill get it. (Beat dead space one and two one hundred percent and it felt like an accomplishment beating hard core i hope they bring it back for single player only cause looking after a second person or having the game reset after i assume  one of you died would suck.)

EA demands multiplayer and yet again devs give in rather than keeping their integrity and walking, well I guess you got to make a living somehow.

Dead Space was much better than Dead Space 2 and with stuff like this it seems that trend is destined to continue. Corporates are ruining gaming. 

man i got to many games on my buy list, I wanna get bf3, mk 9 complete editon, undead nightmare and now fricking dead space 1 and 2( and 3). ...$%^&, gotta save up a f^&% load of money and im only a dam sophmore in higschool

Co-op would sort of detract from the whole "being alone in an 3ffed up place" theme that has worked well so far. Still, if they could add co-op without just tacking it on or taking away some of the excitement, it would be a welcome addition for me. Killing necromorphs with a friend would make for a badass, unstoppable, and majestic wave of unforgettable violence. The horrors of war are only a slight mispronunciation away from being even more awesome.

This game is not meant to be a co-op. it is a solo campaign playing this all alone in dark room with full blast sound. If there is then it should have a totally different campaign

Left 4 Dead is a good co-op survival horror game, but that is because of how chaotic it is.  A slower crawl like Dead Space might not lend itself too well to co-op.  I like the solo experience for survival horror games, plus if you don't know the person in co-op, often times strangers are not very concerned about you and are more self preserving when it comes to health and ammo anyway.  I am more interested in the single player aspect.

if well done NEXT to a good singleplayer i welcome coop. Anything must be better then the DS2 MP that was tacked on as an excuse to sell online passes (although i have a feeling this coop is another excuse for that as well).

Also a 'skyscraper sized wormlike boss'.... Is the final boss from DS1 ready for a rematch or something? lol

Please EA, listen to the people before you butcher this.

I like co-op in most things, but mostly with friends or family locally not over the internet but when the game is suppose to be atmospheric scary and jumpy then it takes away from those alot, it'll turn into an action shooter just like crappy Resident Evil 5 did.

I hope they're gonna keep you apart, maybe helping each other from a distance or something if they do go ahead with this idea.

There is always PENG!!!!

Human Enemies?

CO-OP?

Ahem*

In The Words of Marty McFly,

"NO OH DEAR GOD NOOOOOO!!!!"

I'm glad to hear that they are doing more with the hallucinations for the SP but keeping it out of the CO-OP. That should make for a good difference in play style. Crouching actually doesn't sound like a good addition though, because it was never about stealth. It was always suspenseful when the necros could find you no matter what.

Sounds very interesting even though I don't like co-op in Survival horror games (RE5) i'll wait and see how it pans out before coming to a conclusion.

hmm after i heard there would be a dead space 2 i was like "nooo, don't ruin an awesome game with a probably lousy sequel!" and then dead space 2 was awesome too. more so featured the ultimate challenge in hardcore mode (which i think they did solely for me but i'm not sure). so i'll shut up until i see sth of dead space 3. optional coop is ok as long as it's optional, as we all know it takes away the suspense.

Great, as if Necromoprhs needed anymore references to the Thing.... I'm pretty sure I will have a pathological fear of snow after this comes out...

I'm happier with co-op than the idea of another unbalanced multiplayer. Well scratch that, i would be alot happier if they scratched co-op and multiplayer and focused everything on the single player story mode.

At "skyscraper-sized foes" I was like sweet.  Then he said "worm-like beast" and I was like meh.  Is this foe kind of like the giant worm-like beast in Mass Effects 1 and 2, and Jedi Academy, and Dead Space 1, and The Witcher?   And I haven't even played 99 percent of games?  Those are just the ones that I did play that happened to have: "skyscraper-sized massive worm-like beasts" who are very easy to design and implement because they're diving back into the ground half the time!  Allowing developers  to have that epic feel of a "massive" foe yet who isn't even on your screen half the time allowing developers to duck out early on occassion.  What dev can resist?  A massive worm-like beast?  Just kidding.  Isaac Clarke is one of my fave protagonists as you can see from my av.

Sounds like a futuristic 'The Thing' crossed with lost planet. Im intrigued.

First one was great. Second had more action and was too linear, the pattern became predictable, and the allucinations were a wasted potential (too much "in your face" to be unsettling). It lost the suspense. You already knew there was going to be a necromorph breaking down that closed door, etc...

It was more oriented to the action, and that weakened the game for me. But I can't blame them for changing... The "suspense card" they pulled on the first one wouldn't work twice. Too bad they didn't have other good tricks up their sleeve, and they resorted to: "more monsters, more frequently!".

This one seems to be following that path...

EXACTLY WHAT I though oops cap lock was on, yea i was assuming that it might be her, meh having her follow you around, meh that is the coop, ugh, hope they at least split you up and make your headsets go off when you get seperated if they have enough sense to do that. The only way horror will happen is if that happens, but we'll see i already heard coop and thought oh ea your going to ruin yet another game. i hope to god it is not the case but i have no hope of that.

I hope it stays TPS, that's one of the reasons I liked the game

Oh, shit! not RE5 shit again!....coop and multiplayer are diseases to the gaming industry these days...and I thought Dead Space was going to be my new Resident Evil and now they ruined it also...DISGUSTING!

Interesting news - Report

I hope it stays TPS, that's one of the reasons I liked the game

i knew it gona happen but the question, is it going to be TPS or FPS? theres was a rumor about it being FPS

hmmm a snow planet and skyscraper like enemies....GREAT!  I want to see more of this co-op it looks good.

The first will always be the best to me as it's survival horror done properly. Now they're just becoming more action oriented and the horror is becoming more forced! And as if Isaac needs a co-op partner!? He's survived perfectly fine on his own so far...
