According to IGN, Dead Space 3 will feature optional co-op play. It’ll be drop-in, drop-out. Their source also describes the game’s setting as a “desolate snow planet.”
As we learned from The Thing, Snow can sure be scary… but co-op? Man, I’ve never played a scary co-op game. We’ll find out more soon, I’m sure.
Dead Space 3 Allegedly Features Co-Op [IGN]
The Cheapest NBN 1000 Plans
Looking to bump up your internet connection and save a few bucks? Here are the cheapest plans available.
I loved RE5 co-op, played through the campaign 4 times with my bro. Though co-op with AI indeed sux
So true, I won’t be buying this unless it has co-op, I don’t have the inclination to play another single player game when I have friends to play games with.
The co-op in RE5 is what stopped me from finishing the game to date. It was such a poor choice to implement that feature. Sure, put it in there if people WANT that option … but to make it compulsory, with either an AI or human controlled buddy, was just the dumbest idea ever.
Nothing makes a game scarier than spamming the “get over here!” button repeatedly to your partner.
Ugh, at least the multiplayer in DS2 was in a vacuum and issues of resources aside, had no bearing on the single player. Hopefully it’s designed for solo play first (no AI partners) and then the addition of a second player simply scales up enemy numbers or health. I would have preferred some separate survival modes instead.
With the halucination mechanic and the isolationist gameplay kept intact, there’s a possibility this could work, especially when it’s not split-screen co-op.
If you can’t be sure where or when you will cross paths with your partner, and if the hallucinations randomly disguise them as necromorphs, and if they keep the back-to-back bro-tastic horde fights to a minimum, then it may work.
But it’s hard to maintain tension when you have two guns and two sets of eyes.
Demon’s Souls-esque MP might be okay. I meant the ghostly apparations and whatnot, more than the actual co-op/PvP events.
I for one welcome the co-op, While I love Deadspace I never found it scary so the co-op will not ruin anything. Game was all about the atmosphere and adding another human doesn’t automatically destroy it.
ew co-op. Isaac is meant to be the lone survivor facing down hordes of enemies, it’s not as scary if he has some buddy by his side.
Who will the co-op character be?
Isaac’s twin/clone?
Someone from DS Extraction?
Neccy the friendly Necromorph?
