The 'numbers just aren't there,' Dead Space producer says, and that's why we'll probably never see Dead Space 4
Remember a couple years back, when some of the top men behind the Dead Space series dangled a fourth game in front of Electronic Arts, and the response was basically, " Lose my number ?" It sounds very much like that was the last gasp for the once-great horror games, at least for

Get up to 85% off the Dead Space games in EA's franchise sale, including Motive's excellent remake that will probably never see a successor
In space, no one can hear you scream "The Dead Space remake is 85% off!" So it's a good thing that I'm not in space, or, indeed, screaming. Yes, EA is currently selling all the Dead Space games in a way that won't cost you an arm and a leg, including Visceral Games' trilogy and E

The creator of Dead Space 'would love to make an Alien game'
Dead Space, along with so much sci-fi horror, probably wouldn't exist without Alien. Ridley Scott set the bar high, and for close to 50 years the xenomorph's first outing has informed what people want and expect from their cosmic nightmares... Read more.

The OG creators pitched Dead Space 4 to EA this year, but the publisher gave a flat 'no' so 'we didn't take it any further'
The key creatives behind Dead Space have revealed that earlier this year they tried to interest Electronic Arts in Dead Space 4, but the publisher took a pass. The 2008 game, developed by Visceral Games and directed by Glen Schofield, is an action-horror classic and inspired an e

EA denies rumor that it canceled an in-progress Dead Space 2 remake
fter last year's well-received Dead Space remake , one might've expected EA to put a team at developer Motive on a remake of Dead Space 2. It doesn't look like that's happening, though, because EA announced this week that the Dead Space remake's leads are now gathering a team to

This year's Dead Space Remake sets a bold new precedent for the future of my favourite sci-fi horror series
I'm not a big fan of scary stuff, but weirdly enough, that often makes playing horror games a far more memorable experience. Being a big ol' scaredy cat, I have to psych myself up before delving into a game that I know is going to terrify me, but I feel all the more triumphant fo

Dead Space 3 producer says he'd 'throw away and rewrite' the entire main story if he could
We said in our long-ago review of Dead Space 3 that it suffered from an "identity crisis." Series star Isaac Clarke very suddenly went from being an engineer in a tight spot (and with a precarious grip on reality) in the first two games to a full-blown action hero in the third: "

Forget the Dead Space Remake, this free PS1 demake is the true retelling of Isaac Clarke's story
This year's Dead Space remake was pretty good. In fact, if you forced someone like PCG's Sean Martin to put a number on it and publish that number in an international videogames outlet, he'd say it was 84% good . But that doesn't mean it couldn't be better. What if, for example,

Dead Space patch fixes annoying fuzzy textures one day after Digital Foundry callout
The new Dead Space is a great remake of a survival horror classic. I have few complaints about my first 90 minutes of necromorph chopping on PC: It's grand, gorgeous, gorey, and maybe a little too easy on default difficulty. But up until yesterday's 1.03 patch , it also had one a

Dead Space fans think 'indecipherable' New Game+ log points to more remakes in the future
Like many games these days, the Dead Space remake has a New Game+ mode that becomes available after the game is finished for the first time. It enables players to start a new game loaded up with all the weapons, suits, and upgrades they've already earned, ostensibly making for an

The Dead Space remake will blur out 'disturbing scenes' if you want it to
Dead Space is a disturbing game. One of its most iconic moments is the discovery early on of the helpful hint, " Cut off their limbs ," scrawled on the wall in blood. It's a famously violent, frightening gore fest from start to finish. But if you're not into that sort of thing, a

How to fix the Comms Array in Dead Space
The Dead Space Comms Array puzzle is a bit different from the original game, especially as the sequence wasn't in free-floating zero-G before. Now you can glide around the room, grabbing fuses, and repositioning so you can see what needs to be done next. That said, it can be a li

Dead Space weapon locations: Where to get every gun
Dead Space weapons are one of the best bits of the game, letting you dismantle Necromorphs in a variety of overly violent and gruesome ways. The remake doesn't disappoint on that front either; whether it's blasting body parts away with the Force Gun, or tactically severing limbs
