You Can Feel Dead Space 3 Coming in the Air Tonight... Oh Looooord

Pretty excited to not be a cynical ass for once. I've got DS3 pre-ordered and I thought the trailer and song were pretty awesome!

Then you are in for a major disappointment, my friend. We'll be here.

The more of this game I see the less I actually want to play it.

Actually that might be one of the better Dead Space trailers. Look at 2 for Chrissakes!

Even one, though it doesn't grab CLEARLY AWESOME PHIL COLLINS COVERS it's ... darkness and then monsters and then shooting the monsters. Is it scarier because it's doing some Paul Greengrass epilepsy cutting?

I don't care if I'm the minority for this. I know that this is as far from the original Dead Space as you could possibly be but I don't care. This trailer, well at least this version of In the Air Tonight, gets me pumped to play it

Awesome. More awesome Dead Space, can't get much better than this!

Just what the fuck is this exactly? I actually don't mind the cover that much, but everything about this trailer, from the audio levels to what is being shown, is just off.

What an awful ad. I'm gonna play some Dead Space 1 now.

Hey, at least the remix wasn't of Two Hearts.

You know, because of the coop.

....

If anyone needs me, I'll be in Garry's Mod recreating the Dead Space 3 trailer with a Two Hearts remix.

mmmm... Will Smith - 'Just the Two of Us'

LOL, when Alex Farts his cynicism around, the forums lap it up. Hes like the "Penguin" from the Batmanshow, spraying asshole gas from his umbrella. all the while "Wha Wha Wha'in" it up. I liked it. Its good cheesy melodrama, and its great. No one complained when Gears used Mad World.

Excellent lol

@2HeadedNinja: It's better with Kinect.

Needs more gorillas playing drums.

Can somebody tell me why a spacesuit...that can keep you alive in the vacuum of space....needs a fur lined collar exactly?

Ever heard of style?

This cover sounds like the worst bits of Mick Smiley's Magic combined with some template college rock. Whyyy

The original version by Phil Collins was a million times better.

Pretty excited to not be a cynical ass for once. I've got DS3 pre-ordered and I thought the trailer and song were pretty awesome!

...I liked the trailer.

THIS IS THE NEW BEST VIDEOGAME TRAILER I'VE EVER SEEN.

@Alex But actually we all know the only way to listen to this song is through Miami Vice

Judging by the comments it looks like they are doing a good job at fooling some people that the entire trailer was actual gameplay footage and not just brief sections between the pre-rendered stuff. Or I'm missing the sarcasm in some of these posts.

Dear God, that trailer would have been bad without the worst cover of that song I've ever heard. He just walks around the mountains thinking about walking down hallways? Wtf?

Amen,

pax

@Deusoma: Are you talking about the "Fuck Yeah" song? Cause i'm pretty sure that was a fan made trailer.

Dead Space 3: Lost Planet. That joke hasn't been done before, right guys?

"I'm going to remove my helmet in the middle of blizzard on a presumably creature-infested planet so that the viewer can see my face and better empathize with my strongly characterized reaction to the ominously foreboding object below. Then, I'll make an angry face and jump straight into the camera, just so they have an idea of the intense thrill-ride they're up for when they purchase the game! Why has no one ever thought to market this way?"

Can somebody tell me why a spacesuit...that can keep you alive in the vacuum of space....needs a fur lined collar exactly?

those graphiches on isacks face were lots good.

Like after he looked so closely at the footprint to track his prey for sure, never to be trusting the whole crap-storm of other footprints blazing a trail in the same direction - after that, when his helmet retracts...that face is some AAA DirectX 12 going on bro. How are they going to run this on 360 if it's rendering that under his helmet all the time? Actual gameplay it said, so u know it is so man.

I actually liked it... but I'm a sucker for the whole juxtaposition of somber music with action-packed flashy visuals (see: Gears of War/Mad World trailer). But I guess the whole gripe is it being a cover anyway, so yeah I agree with @Alex there.

To everyone that is saying "this song didn't fit this game/trailer", I will say this to you:

How the fuck did "Mad World" fit the Gears of War trailer?

Personally, I dug the trailer and the cover. I wish I knew who does the damn thing. Also, the attitude that Isaac shows at the end of the trailer really felt right, as his character development over the last two games and then seeing the Marker...that resonated with me quite a bit. It had a kind of Halo 3 "Finish The Fight" feel, sure, but it was still an understandable moment. With that coming around and then the song kicking in with "I've been waiting for this moment for all my life", it all makes sense.

I am actually getting more excited about Dead Space 3.

I know we all want to be bitter about this...but come one...compared the the "Your mother will hate this" campaign of Dead Space 2 (that set gamer mainstream acceptance back 15 years to the days of of "gaming but not telling people")...I will take this any time...

Did they have him "take off" his helmet just so he could "put it back on"? Weird

I loved the trailer... until the helmet came off to reveal Isaac and his "look down, eyes up" glare. That "brooding" face was comical, and I was even more surprised to see the helmet go back on. There are probably a dozen reasons why the production crew decided to do this, but god damn that trope is so overused.

@PHenry1991: Idk, Dead Space was never particularly scary. It was always great at creating a sense of tension though. The series has done a great job of shaping Isaac from an every-man engineer, into a hardened rebel with a cause. Thematically at least, the sci-fi pulp vibe seems to be a logical progression.

*off to listen to some Genesis*

You mean a crappy cover of a crappy Phil Collins song, right?

I love Sci-fi pulp. But Dead Space is supposed to be Sci-fi horror. Dead Space 3, seems like a Sci-fi pulp adventure with a slight horror vibe. I come to Dead Space to shit my pants.

Terrible cover, agreed. And not a killer trailer, but a fine one.

But, uh, you guys whining that Dead Space is going action do remember that Dead Space 1 & 2 were pretty much the best third-person shooters on the market, right? Like, from the third-person shooting perspective of the part where you shoot dudes feeling really, really, really good. Like, no, I'm not big on shooting-dudes-the-game all that often, but Dead Space is one of the few that can make me believe in that. They also say it'll be scary; we'll see if they're telling the truth on that one. But it'll probably be super-fun like the last couple games from a gameplay perspective. I have a hard time imagining a world where this game totally drops the ball.

lost planet ..?!

THATS THE SOUND OF MICRO TRANSACTIONS BABY!

fire everyone that works for EA in marketing.

no joke

Stop putting the Everyman™ in all games all the time please!!!

Look at that thumbnail. Male. Age 20-40. Short dark hair. Dark stubble. Medium build. He's even doing the fucking face down eyes up thing. D;

He's white too. I hear that sells. Bet he's straight, thin and able bodied while we're getting into it.

You mean to tell me that Isaac wasn't Isaac Hayes all along? The Scientology angle fits so well!

Oh man, if they revealed it had been Issac Hayes the entire time I don't think I'd be able to sleep at night anymore.

I kinda liked it.

@Bourbon_Warrior said:

Even though the marketing of this game has been poor, the game itself is fantastic.

Impossible. When has anything ever surpassed its marketing campaign?! ;)

According to Visceral themselves this game is going to compete with Dark Souls PTD Edition for worst PC port of the generation :P

Sometimes I wonder if EA even likes video games.

this was horribly stupid. reminded me more of lost planet with the snow and big enemies then it did dead space.

they better not have fucked this game up completely

I loved Dead Space 1, 2 was okay but it didn't grab me like the first one did. I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. Visceral are a great studio so I'm sure 3 will be good. I hope it's successful so that the folk at Visceral don't get laid off by their EA overlords.

The micro-transactions bullshit they put in is gross and their justification was just stupid. Goddamn it, EA. You make it so hard to like you...

Man, fuck EA. I haven't bought any of their games since they completely butchered Spore. I hope they crash and burn.

I don't even like the original song, but that was horrible to the max. Both the cover and the trailer.

"Hey, if we show a bunch of boring shots and explain nothing, it'll be ~~totally artistic~~, man!" And this is coming from someone who loves vagueness.
