Dead Space 2

New Dead Space and Need for Speed Titles During FY 2012, Says EA
Written Tuesday, May 08, 2012 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

New entries to both the Dead Space and Need for Speed series are expected before the end of the financial year, EA has confirmed.

The news comes via the publisher’s earnings call, in which EA detailed their upcoming releases. No details were announced. Based on previous news, however, we can speculate a little as to what the games will be and what will contain.  

Dead Space 3 is rumoured to be set on an ice planet called Tau Volantis, where Isaac will encounter an enemy known as the 'hive mind.’ It has also been suggested that the protagonist will be accompanied by a separate on-screen character representing Isaac’s disintegrating mental state. Called 'Shadow Isaac' the character will mock Isaac’s every move. 

Separate rumours suggest that EA are looking into making Dead Space 3 an FPS.

Meanwhile, at least one retailer began taking pre-orders on an unannounced Need for Speed title last month. If the store is to be believed, the upcoming entry to the series will be Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2.

Hive mind? Becuase that doesn't sound like the flood at all.

Really looking forward to Dead Space 3, I'm not that concerned if it does become an FPS as I often feel that it helps with the immersion as you can only see that which is in the direction you are looking, which in the case of a game like Dead Space will add to the fear experienced as the sound in the game is used to great effect meaning that you don't know from what direction the sound is coming and will add to the fear that it might be coming from behind you. Having said that, Dead Space 3, in whatever form (unless it's an on rails Kinect title!) will definately be a game that I will pre-order. The sooner it gets here the better!

Another Need for Speed this fall? What a suprise! Hope they make this most wanted-sequel worth buying (like hot pursuit, not the run).

Making Dead Speace 3 an FPS could alienate some fans. Sorry for the awful pun. I really want to go back to Dead Space 2 and finally finish it. The only Need For Speed game I'll be interested in is a new Underground game. They totally rocked when I had my PS2 and I'd buy a Day 1 copy if it was.

Fuck the Flood, they don't have shit when it comes to Dead Space which is a real sci-fi game.
So keep Galo out of the conversation.

Please remain open minded people. Dead Space as an FPS has massive amounts of potential in done right.

At the end of the day, they have made 2 highly similar Dead Space games already. It's a good idea therefore to evolve the series - I'm not saying it MUST be an FPS or anything. But at least they are taking some initiative. The success or failure will obviously depend of the delivery of the game.

HELL YES, Dead Space III (Roman Numerals, since it'll be epic)

Currently playing DS2 and it seems that Bright Eyes Nicole fulfills the same criteria as 'Shadow Isaac'. They make it sound like you've got shadow dudes constantly running with you, talking smack in your ear.

And wasn't the final boss of DS1 called the Hive Mind? at least according to the achievement you unlocked.

Yeah there were rumours of them making this an FPS or a flight simulator (WTF?), but those were based on EA job placements descriptions. Some wild extrapolating there. Maybe there'll be small segments of FPS action (Ala Gears Of War 3, Act4 final chapter Watery Grave) and then flying between planets or something.

As I said million times before, I know NFS has been milked a lot but still I wait for it every year as there aren't too many arcade good racing games out there.

As a racing game fan, having something worthy of standard and fun is good every year although NFS series has seen it's ups and downs and in this entire gen there best games were MW and HP remake but still something is better then nothing

At least I know the ending of Dead Space 2 doesn't have Isaac dying, so I can safely skip it.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2 will be much appreciated. Loved the original, and I hope the police chases are just as intense!

they already have a dead space FPS/rail shooter called Dead Space extraction. it seemed alright so Dead space 3 as an FPS should be alright if they keep the same formula that 1 & 2 have.

@16 Everybody is talking about how Dead Space could be an FPS, and now there is a new enemy that has lots of idividuals but they act under one mind, exactly like the flood. Both features are present in 'galo' as you put it.

I'll gladly keep halo out of the conversation, but it sounds like EA are having trouble keeping halo out of their game.

And Galo? Really? Grow up man.

Dead Space is just like Rocky as far as I am concerned.

No need to change the forumla. Just keep giving me a great scary atmosphere, awesome monsters, and cool gadgets and I will keep on watching a 65 year old Sly knock a boxer on his ass.

I MUST BREAK YOU.

Alright, more sequels! That's just what the industry needs, keep it up EA. You're doing a fantastic job of not creating anything new. I suppose that goes for all devs and publishers.

If they do change it to FPS at least have an option to switch to third person like Fallout 3/Vegas. I will play it either way, Dead Space and Dead Space 2 are one of my favorite series of all time atm, Mass Effect was one of them also fyi but then Mass Effect 3 happened ;P

Seriously, they're not changing Dead Space 3 to FPS. It'll be the same thing as usual, but EA is looking to change that after Isaac's story is done.

Also, @22. The same thing that messed up RE5's atmosphere? I sincerely hope they don't go that shitty route, because that will damage the overall feel of the game.

@26 No offense but do you really believe that Halo conceived or even coined the term Hive Mind? Firstly it is a real term used to describe insects behaviour e.g. bees and secondly the term has been used in fiction much before Halo e.g. Tyranids

this new change of scenery could be great regardless of how much DS would be borrowing from John Carpenter's The Thing.

Either that or it will be an FPS or a kinect compatible dead space racing/dance-along/sing-along game-because if EA have one idea etched into their brains its that tired overdone genres > creativity and originality.

Seriously I like my shooters but what is that makes publishers so obsessed with FPS's over third-person games.
It's just 1 (albeit small)step closer towards the gaming industry crashing in upon itself by totally stamping out unique and original games.

I love Dead Space 1 and 2, if they make 3 a FPS I probably will not get it, cause that changes everything, the gameplay, the feel of the game, they will have to put on screen hubs for ammo and life which is why they made they game the way they did, no on screen hubs, they were on Issacs suit, if they want to make a FPS spinoff, they are welcome to, but keep 3 like 1 and 2.

The whole Dead Space FPS rumor started because EA was looking to make a few FPS spin offs of Dead Space, I don't think in the slightest that Dead Space 3 will be an FPS.

Maybe Dead Space 3 online could be and fps, but not the campain. The games scary enough, if it's in FP it will be even scarier, which could be a good or bad thing.

The new NFS should not be any surprise why do you think they shut down one of the old ones? If the first Dead Space had online it would have went to the chopping block to. EA assumes shut down the old and people will go buy the new one. By used copies whenever possible so EA doesn't get any of your money.

@51 I think DS2 Multiplayer was very fun, it needed a few tweaks to improve upon it. Maybe a few more maps, but it was very good. I also didn't feel at all the DS2's Multiplayer detracted from the Singleplayer in any way. DS2 is a very solid & amazing game all around, & I myself am looking forward to a more refined/perfected Multiplayer experience in DS3.

Dead Space 3 CANNOT WAIT!!!
