DEAD SPACE 3 - First Spoilerish Details Revealed
Electronic Arts hasn't even officially announced Dead Space 3, but we know it's coming, and today the first details from the game have been leaked. Unlike the first two games Dead Space 3 will not take place on a spaceship, this story is set on a planet called Tau Volantis, which is an icy planet where the character Isaac Clarke will have to fight through white-out blizzard conditions. So it looks like they are taking those Lost Planet conditions and turning it into something frighteningly badass. I think this will make for a awesome and interesting setting for the game, I'm happy to see they are changing things up.
Here are the details that have come into light so far. I'm going to throw out a Spoiler warning, so if you don't want to know then don't read ahead....
Early in Dead Space 3, Isaac crash lands on the planet. He believes he may be the only survivor and makes his way to an abandoned waystation, which he uses for shelter from the snowstorm. There he finds a survivor who is severely injured. Isaac speaks to the near dead comrade who reveals there are other survivors that trekked off to another facility. One of them is Ellie, a key character from the original Dead Space game. Isaac grabs a snowsuit and heads into the blizzard.
Later in the game, Isaac reunites with Ellie and a new character named Jennifer. The trio scale a mountain, but Jennifer is reluctant to do so. She’s a tech type excited over finding a codex and plans to reverse engineer research by a group called Rosetta to gain access to it. As they climb up the mountain, they hear a howl from below, but cannot spot what kind of creature made the sound.
The enemies in Dead Space 3 are being referred to as "the hive mind."
The Dead Space games have been incredibly entertaing to play yet extremely challenging. These games have been the easiest games to play through... for me anyway. Maybe it was easier for the rest of you. FAct of the matter is, Dead Space is awesome and if this information turns out to be true... fan-freakin-tastic! We'll have another great Dead Space game to play.
What do you all think about these details?
