The Dead Space 3 demo rolls out today on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and to celebrate, publisher Electronic Arts is offering a perk for Mass Effect 3 fans. As long as you still have a save game from ME3, you can get some snazzy N7 armor for DS3 co-op pals Issac Clarke and John Carver.
A new trailer for Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel shows the two new protagonists exchanging quips, gunning down ne'er-do-wells, and just generally making things burst into flames.
Dead Space 3 is getting a "Dev Team Edition," full of props, art goodies, and more. It's $160, or $100 without the game.
Sure, you could press A to revive your pal in Dead Space 3's co-op mode, but wouldn't it be quicker and easier to say "Revive partner!" to your Kinect? No, of course not. Still, Visceral's scary shooter supports just that, as a new video shows off. Gasp, as the possibility of forgetting which button does what is replaced by the slower nuisance of forgetting voice commands.
Dead Space 3 is shaping up quite different to earlier games in the scary shooter series, with action-y additions like drop-in co-op and human enemies. It seems to work, from what we've seen so far, but you'll get to judge for yourself in January when a demo hits consoles.
Dead Space 3 executive producer Steve Papoutsis has talked about a few of the Kinect ideas that didn't quite make it into the game, like giving a bonus for swearing or snapping a photo during scary moments.
Visceral Games knows what it is doing with Dead Space 3. It understands what makes this series tick. And as it turns out, moving down to an ice planet may be just what Dead Space needs.
Dead Space 3 will utilize the Kinect to issue commands in cooperative play, Visceral Games and EA have announced.
It seems as if Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel will be far from the worst shooter ever released. Like its predecessors though, this "gritty" shooter is apt to be quickly buried by the competition when it arrives in March.
