EA @ E3 12: Dead Space 3 with Isaac Clarke, co-op, MASSIVE NECROPMORPHS confirmed

Dead Space 3 is already on my want list, and the EA press conference made it that much more painful. It’s got everything a successful survival horror game – hell, third-person shooter game – should have. Drop-in, drop-out co-op? Check. Massive Necromorphs? Check. Isaac Clarke??? Check plus. And apparently they’ve found “the source.”

EA showed off some gameplay, which was absolutely over-the-top – intense battle, new item display as you’re picking up ammo and switching guns, and a lot of cursing. They showed off the co-op option, with two players fighting some of the aforementioned massive Necromorphs. Player one had the regular blue green life bar on his back, while the drop-in second player had one that was slighter darker blue.

But the best news? The game will be out in February 2013 for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. February! That’s nine months away. Bring it on, Visceral Games!

DeadSpace.com confirms Dead Space 3 with hidden text, graphic novel-style trailer

A few weeks ago, EA revealed that a new entry in the Dead Space series will be released during the company’s current fiscal year (which ends March 31, 2013). Today, the publisher revealed a new teaser trailer for the game and confirmed that it’s definitely Dead Space 3.

While the trailer (which you can find above) doesn’t come out and say it belongs to Dead Space 3, the source code of DeadSpace.com is littered with hidden text revealing the title as well as confirmaing the existence of a co-op mode. But one thing EA is willing to publicly show us is the first details of the game’s plot, which do not include everyone’s favorite necromorph hunter, Isaac Clarke:

While patrolling the planet Uxor, Earthgov Sergeant John Carver witnesses an attack on the Marker Site he guards which changes his life forever. John must now fight his way through a colony now in complete chaos as he begins to discover how important he is in fighting the Necromorph plague.

This is just the start of John Carver’s saga in the Dead Space Universe.

A countdown clock on the site further confirms that Dead Space 3 will receive a proper debut during next week’s E3 Expo.
