Penny Arcade Comic Asks An Important Question About ‘Dead Space 3′

Have you ever wondered how those wacky Unitologists could continue their zealous fight for rebirth through the Marker when all around them their friends are being transformed into pairs of murderous crazy legs with waggly tentacles protruding from their midsections? I don’t know about you, but as soon as that started happening I would’ve started weighing the pros and cons of converting to a religion with a lower death rate. Today, Penny Arcade took on Dead Space 3 by asking that same question. It’s pretty great. You should most definitely head on over to their site and check it out.

‘Dead Space 3′ Kinectomorphs

OMG JK but seriously, Kinectimals, lame name. How about a Kinect exclusive for Dead Space called Kinectomorphs? Moving on. Past the break you can check out a video for Dead Space 3 that shows you how cool the Kinect can actually be in game. There are a number of basic game play commands but what makes things a lot smoother are the multiplayer commands. “Give partner ammo” or “give partner stasis” for instance.

This Is The Best ‘Dead Space’ Cosplay I’ve Ever Seen

Cosplay can be a wonderful thing. If I were creative enough or had any discernible talent I’d love to be a cosplayer. I’ve seen a fair share of Dead Space cosplay over the years, but none have been as fun to look at as Kevin, who you can see in the supremely badass armor of Isaac Clarke (if we want to get really nerdy I could say he’s wearing the Security Suit from Dead Space 2), and Léa Charvin, who portrays Ellie Langford in many of the shots. Check them out after the break!

‘Dead Space 3′ Demo Announced, As If You Weren’t Going To Buy It Anyway

Recently announced by E.A. and the magical Visceral Games is a playable demo for Dead Space 3. It’s going to be coming to the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade on January 22nd. Xbox 360 users however can get access to the demo a week early just by signing up over at DeadSpace.com. It’s said you’ll be able to try the single player, the co-op, and use the Kinect voice commands in the demo. Dead Space 3 is a game I will definitely be buying, so the demo might get shoved aside so I don’t spoil any of the campaign for my 1st play through. Anyone else?

If Santa Knows What’s Good For Him, He’ll Get Me This Isaac Clarke Statue

Kotobukiya’s ARTFX Statue Line will soon include gaming’s resident Necromorph slaying badass Isaac Clarke, and he looks real good. The attention to detail in this figure is incredible, they even placed LEDs in the visor, RIG, and locator. Between this and the gorgeous Silent Hill figures Toymunkey Studios was at Comic-Con back in July I don’t think my wallet can keep up with my new-found love for terrifyingly awesome video game statues. The Isaac Clarke statue stands at just a little over 12 inches tall and comes with that bloodied display base you can see after the break.

‘Dead Space 3′ Gets Fresh With The Kinect, GameStop, And Amazon. Filthy Dirty Whore

“Better with Kinect” is becoming a surprisingly popular slogan. Dead Space 3 is going to be one of those games with Kinect support. Also Destructoid is reporting you have 2 avenues of pre ordering the game that will get you some hot bonus action. Pre order at GameStop to get the EG-900 Sub Machine Gun, and Amazon gives you the Enervator. It sounds a bit more brutal than the EG-900 and I must admit I’m a way bigger Amazon fan. Head past the break for a new trailer showing you 2 ways to play the game.

‘Dead Space 3′, Now With More Hallucinations

A crazy awesome feature announced in Dead Space 3 is what I like to call the hallucination system. Newcomer John Carver joins Issac and is experiencing his first bouts of hallucinating. SPACE MADNESS! And the cool thing about the co-op is that Issac won’t be seeing all the things John is seeing due to his space madness. So each player will get a totally different experience. You can see all that goodness in the video past the break. You can also get a lot of your co-op fears, Lost Planet fears and more crushed and stomped out with some reassurance that the Dead Space series will always be aiming to make you shit out your spine. (Trademark Adam Dodd). Dead Space 3 released February 5th on the PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.

Exciting Secret ‘Dead Space 3′ News Coming Tomorrow!

Our friend lil’ Adam Dodd is of course sworn to secrecy or else he could be strung up in the Visceral Games offices. But what could it be? Honestly what I think I would want more than anything is a 4 player survival/horde mode. I can’t flippin get enough of those. A lot of people on Dead Space 3′s official FACEBOOK are speculating a special/collectors edition. The news will be announced tomorrow, but what do you guys think it will be?

Go Inside The Studio Of Dead Space Composer Jason Graves

The Verge has posted an in-depth article, including video, on their visit to Dead Space composer Jason Graves‘ home studio. The video shows Graves talking about many of the instruments he uses, the random objects that he creates unsettling sounds with (the chicken wire on a trash can lid that is bowed is especially awesome in my book), as well as the technology that backs up his entire system. If you’re into creepy sounds and audio recording at all, this is a very worthwhile video to watch and article to read. Check it out below! READ MORE

‘Dead Space 3′ Eudora Walkthrough

Put your Dead Space 3 fears to rest friends. For though Dead Space 3 is throwing in some things you may dislike, it’s also staying true to its horror roots. In the video below you can check out a walkthrough of a ship known as the “Eudora” where Isaac faces many fears he has before. That doesn’t make me any less nervous. I screamed my way through the first game and again through the second. I see no reason I wouldn’t be screaming my way through this game. Dead Space 3 will be released on February 5th for the PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.

Gamescom 2012: Dead Space 3 Is Starting To Taste A Little Dead Island Rising’ish

Does Dead Space 3 look awesome? OF COURSE. Am I a little nervous about it? Definitely. Will that stop me from buying it? Hellz no. If you pre-order the game you can get yourself some goodies that will help you early on in your game. Head past the break for info about all the pre-order stuff you can get, some screens, and a new trailer from Gamescom. Even cooler than that? You can craft your own weapons in Dead Space 3. But it’s not duct taping shit together, it’s making actual weapons the way you want them. Plasma cutter with a flamtehrower on the bottom? Fuck yeah.

Composer Jason Graves Is Returning To Make ‘Dead Space 3′ Sound Magical

This is good news for geeks like me who love our video game soundtracks, as it’s been confirmed that series composer Jason Graves will be returning to score the upcoming Dead Space 3. Graves crafted the fantastic scores for every other game in the series, including Extraction, and since they’ve all been sufficiently terrifying, I think it’s safe to assume the trend will continue with the next installment. My love for video game soundtracks runs deep, and I’m always looking for some new tunes to add to my horror playlist that still mostly consists of Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka’s work. In case your memory’s a little fuzzy, I’ve included one of my favorite tracks from Dead Space 2 after the break. Turn off the lights, hit play, close your eyes, and enjoy.

EA Confirms No Competitive Multiplayer For ‘Dead Space 3′

I hope you weren’t too big a fan of the Left 4 Dead style multiplayer mode introduced in Dead Space 2, because that idea has been completely scrapped in its sequel. Dead Space 3 will not be pitting player controlled humans against player controlled Necromorphs, instead, we’ll have the optional co-op that’s been the focal point of pretty much every demonstration of the game so far. Despite its flaws, I enjoyed the multiplayer in Dead Space 2, but I’d much rather have a meaty co-op story to dive into when it releases in February. What about you? Oh, and you should definitely head past the break for a fresh batch of creepy new screenshots.

Meet The Newest Addition To ‘Dead Space 3′s’ Legion Of Necromorphs… The Feeder

So far, my favorite enemy in the Dead Space series has been the Stalker. They aren’t the most disturbing Necromorph of the bunch–I’ll leave title to the Crawlers (the explosive babies), but they’re without a doubt the most unnerving to fight. The first few encounters with the Stalker packs in Dead Space 2 were intense because they actually communicated with each other. They would flank you, trap you, trick you, and if you didn’t outsmart them, they would most definitely kill you and drag you into their lair to defile your mutilated corpse again and again and again. However, that could soon change in Dead Space 3 now that the Feeders have been introduced. Get to know them after the jump.

[Podcast] ‘Aural Pleasures’ Episode 12, The Music Of E3

In this edition of Aural Pleasures, Adam and Jonny keep things nice and short. The dynamic duo begin by chatting about a woman in South Korea who got more than she asked for whilst eating squid (hint: babies…tons of ‘em). Then they move onto E3 and the discuss the games presented there and dwell upon what the soundtracks might sound like, focusing on “Beyond Two Souls,” “Dead Space 3,” and “Resident Evil 6.” The boys then cap it all off, as usual, with some recommendations.

There Are A Lot Of Necromorphs Hiding Under The Snow In This New ‘Dead Space 3′ Footage

EA just released twenty minutes of official gameplay for the upcoming Dead Space 3 that includes a lot of half-people and necromorphs jumping out in front of Isaac from the snow. I really hope there isn’t too much of that. What’s most interesting about this video, which you can find after the break, is it shows how the game works alone and in co-op. We get to see the opening sequence done solo, then part of it done with another player in the game. There are extra story elements you’ll get when you play with a friend, but the co-op is entirely optional. Check it out and tell me what you think.

[Podcast] ‘Dead Pixels’ Episode 41 Heads To E3

Adam and TJ are back! Again! And they’re here to stay. (We know you missed their sexy sexy voices.) This weeks episode of Dead Pixels is almost all about this year’s E3 convention.

“Resident Evil 6,” “Dead Space 3″ and much, much more are discussed. Adam is left feeling unfulfilled about the entire convention, while TJ feels everything was quite good. (Fight!) But, as usual, the boys get sidetracked and start talking about TV and movies, and Adam drops a couple spoilers as it’s becoming one of his favorite past times. (What a dick.)
