kain_kusanagi said: Did EA strip away what made Dead Space Popular or did the try to make a niche series sell more? The Dead Space games aren't big sellers. The first two sold ok, but they aren't Halo or COD that is for sure. EA probably would not have continued the series, but gave it another chance and tried to appeal to a larger audience. |
The original Dead Space sold over 1million copies that's hardly niche. And DO NOT believe this shady Publishers that say a game needs to sell 5M copies to be profitable. If Dead Space would have continued on its survival horror trajectory it would have EASILY reach 3 to 5 million sales by Dead Space 3. And I agree with whoever said this started with Dead Space 2. But Dead Space 2 was still a really good game.
Dead Space 3 is no where near as good as 2 or 1. Period. And it certainly is no longer a survival horror game.
Naughty Dog's the Last of Us will show these stupid suits who are heads of these companies that the genre is viable and greatness and sales can be achieved if you stick to the core of the experience.
