I'm going to be all over this like a particularly virulent rash. Loved DS1 so much I played it through four times to get all the achievements. 2 isn't quite as good, but they did a great job of extending the plot. It has the worst last boss in history, though.

Trailer for 3 looks good. Same art style as some of the comics. Bring it on, I'm ready for more Necromorphs.

The first shot of this appeared on Eurogamer and there is a countdown on the official site apparently. I loved 2, even though it had RIDICULOUS difficulty spikes. The section with the monster after monster is one of the most infuriating things I've ever played. Last boss was also quite annoying. It was mostly very enjoyable with exquisite locations - the spacewalk is amaze - and super satisfying combat levelling up jazz.

This. And the last 4 or 5 chapters were pointless lengthening. Take that off and it was almost perfect.

Oh this could be good. I know the trailer is for the graphic novel, but the new game in itself is looking great. I loved both Dead Space games (with the exception of a few moments) so will be well up for this.

Hopefully news at E3.

Oh, that is looking very tasty. Liking the look of the new enemies, and co-op could be tons of fun. Looks like Carver is in it, too, so odds on the graphic novel serves to set up the plot. I'd like Isaac to be a bit messed up in this one. The amount of crap he's gone through, it'd be a bit incongruous if he became a supreme bad ass. I'd like to see some cracks around his edges.

It's funny the number of games news sites that have passed on the graphic novel trailer as the trailer for Dead Space 3. Even IGN's 'Inside Gaming Daily' said it was the trailer for DS3, despite the URL at the end of the video confirming it as a new comic. I know I fell for it, but I'm not a games journo, so I'm allowed to be stupid.

I think I'd better get on with 2 before I find out something I don't want to.

I did actually start it, but only got up to getting the first weapon before I decided I wanted to play the first one though.

Which I did two and a half times

I played 2 first btw. Was still awesome.

I'm hoping for some proper team tactics as opposed to just covering eachother's backs. Say with certain fast enemies you have to pin them to the wall via a Javelin gun then your mate flames them into bacon.

Seeing Prometheus has got me even more in the mood for another Dead Space game. More the atmosphere of the film than anything else.

Please come out in summer, theres no way Im playing 3 on a dark night.

Demo early access (January 15th)

There was an article on this on GB the before Xmas, apparently in the co-op campaign, one of the characters is going a bit mad, and 'sees' things. That could well be awesome as your partner suddenly starts tearing up the scenery wondering why you aren't battling the hoards of nechroporphs that are coming out the walls...

@Mostly or starts trying to plasma cut your limbs off.

I keep eyeing my Dead Space 1 and thinking I should platinum it then replay DS 2.

Looks that way, yep.
