Dead Space 3 – Dropping Competitive Multiplayer, Co-op, Release Date, And More
Some new details on Dead Space 3 has been revealed from the next Gameinformer issue.
Here are just a few things that are covered in the issue.
- Co-op confirmed
- No competitive multiplayer in DS3
- Now has universal ammo pickups
- Cover system added
- Co-op will have different cut-scenes and interactions between Isaac and Carver.
- Zero space gravity section and dark corridors will be present as they were in previous Dead Space titles.
- Fodders & Feeders are a new type of necromorphs.
- Visceral games calls these new necromorphs “The snow beast”.
- Nexus Feeders is a 30 story tall centipede necromorph. This is “what happens when a human isn’t actually infected by a Swarm or by a Divider heads”
- Icy Planet is called Tau Volantis,
- Fodder transform into two different necromorphs depending on how you kill them
- Ammo drops are more plentiful
- They want DS3 to be less linear than 2&1;be able to explore large environments and find “unique beta missions” that aren’t required to complete the main game
-
You can slap different guns together like a Plasma cutter/Ripper combo,Visceral didn’t say “how exactly these weapon mods work” but GI noticed enemies drop Scrap metal and ‘tungsten’ now.
A cover system? Does this mean that there will now be enemies who will be shooting at you?
Will keep the post updated as more information releases.

Co-op is a welcome addition to the series – felt Dead Space 2’s competitive multiplayer was really out of place, I felt. If they add a survival mode too, that’ll be great.

I hated the AI in resident evil 5

thanks!
but shame you revealed it too quick, it would be better as a sweet surprise if you waited for E3 reveal:/
yes I’m so glad it has co-op!
shame it has no competitive multiplayer, but as long as it motivates players to keep going back to play it online is all it needs.
Universal ammo pickup? as in pick up ammo for a specific weapon but if that weapon’s ammo is full, the ammo will refill your secondary weapon?
or probably collecting ammo also collects it for your partner.

Not yet. Maybe there’ll be one in a couple hours during EA’s E3 conference. 😉
