The key creatives behind Dead Space have revealed that earlier this 12 months they tried to curiosity Electronic Arts in Dead Space 4, however the writer took a cross. The 2008 recreation, developed by Visceral Games and directed by Glen Schofield, is an action-horror traditional and impressed a superb remake by Motive Studios launched final 12 months. It additionally spawned two Visceral-developed sequels, in addition to The Callisto Protocol (a religious successor, additionally directed by Schofield).
The remake specifically made it seem to be EA might need plans to return to Dead Space, however sadly it feels like that is not the case. Schofield sat for an interview alongside Dead Space’s artistic director Bret Robbins and animation director Christopher Stone on the Dan Allen Gaming Podcast (noticed by PCGN), discussing Dead Space usually, earlier than close to the top ideas turned to a potential future for the collection.
“We tried truly, the three of us,” says Schofield. “Dead Space 4. They stated no. We’re speaking this 12 months [we pitched it]. We didn’t go too deep. They simply stated ‘We’re not proper now, we admire it blah blah blah.’ And we all know who to speak to, so we didn’t take it any additional, and we revered their opinion, they know their numbers and what they should ship.”
Watch On
Schofield says the group “have some concepts” for the place the fourth recreation will go, with Dead Space 3 having ended on one thing of a cliffhanger: Spoiler alert, however the third and up to now remaining entry ends with co-protagonists Isaac Clarke and John Carver crashing right into a moon, their destiny left ambiguous. Given that Isaac has somewhat an excellent monitor document of surviving obvious dying, I in some way doubt the crash has finished for both of them.
“It’s a bizarre time within the trade proper now,” says Stone. “People are actually hesitant to take probabilities on issues. So, take it with a grain of salt. Who is aware of, possibly at some point. I feel we’d all like to do it. I’d make a Dead Space 4. I’m not saying something about my present gig [multiplayer shooter Ready or Not]. I’m simply saying I might make a Dead Space 4.”
For his half, Schofield’s at present attempting to get a smaller venture funded (“it is fairly particular to me”), having left Striking Distance Studios after the discharge of The Callisto Protocol. And it could be that that is the sport that actually gave EA the heebie-jeebies a few Dead Space continuation as a result of, whereas it was an honest sufficient action-horror expertise, it fell far wanting writer Krafton’s somewhat absurd gross sales expectations.
