Visceral Games' latest installment will feature drop-in/drop-out co-op and is set, at least in part, on a frozen tundra of a planet known as Tau Volantis infested by those pesky Necromorphs.
The newest installment not only has Isaac Clarke fighting for survival (at least partially) on a bright, snowy planet but also has him teaming up with a buddy in the form of drop-in/drop-out co-op, a first for the series
Expect plenty of epic thrills and chilly chills when Dead Space 3 touches down in February 2013
A big first for DS3 is that you’ll be facing off against actual humans for the first time. Not only does this break up the pattern of “shoot legs, shoot head” combat, but it also means Necromorphs can now carry weapons, since they’re able to infect fresh hosts on the fly.
On the weapons side, there are big changes as well. Now, ammo is universal, so no more having to worry about holding on to certain ammo types out of fear of not having your favorite type during some later boss battle. Ammo hoarders, you’re welcome. Some of the weapons also have the option of firing different types of ammo, which will free up space in your inventory.
Our demo ended with a massive showdown against swarms of Necromorphs as we struggled to bring down a massive drill online by stasising the giant spinning gears to expose the power core. To say that dodging hordes of enemies while also trying to avoid being torn apart by a towering spinning drill had me white knuckled is an understatement, and having a co-op partner didn’t take away from that sense of urgency and terror in the least.
Whether this will transfer over to the quieter, slower paced sections of the game is the million dollar question, and hopefully we’ll get a glimpse at how the answer to this question is shaping up when we see more of Dead Space 3 during E3 this week
