‘Dead Space’ is Still a Very Important Franchise for EA
After working on the series almost nonstop for seven years, developer Visceral Games is taking a break from the action horror franchise to work on Battlefield Hardline. Part of the reason behind this change is simply to give the developer a much-needed break, but most of it stems from the relatively unsuccessful Dead Space 3, which landed with a dull thud when it released last February.
Speaking with Kotaku UK, Visceral Games general manager Steve Papoutsis confirmed that while they’re taking a break from it now, Dead Space is still a very important franchise for them, and that he’s even excited to see what a new game on current-gen consoles would look like. That’s about a much hope for the series as we’re likely to get, and it mirrors what EA Studios executive vice president Patrick Söderlund said back in June, and what EA Labels boss Frank Gibeau confirmed last August.
Dead Space is coming back, but it will likely be awhile before we hear from it again. Or rather, hear something new — I’m sure the future has a bevy of “Dead Space isn’t dead” confirmations left for us until EA finally gets around to bringing it back.
When it comes to horror franchises that are MIA — Dead Space, Alan Wake, Condemned, FEAR, Left 4 Dead, etc. — is there one in particular you’d like to hear from the most?
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
