Frank Gibeau vom Publisher EA erklärte in einem Interview, warum man sich an der Dead Space-Reihe weiterhin festhält.
Der EA Games President Frank Gibeau erklärte jetzt, warum man weiter an der Marke Dead Space festhält und diese fortführen will. Er sagte außerdem, dass eine IP mehrere Spiele braucht, um erfolgreich zu sein.
"When you’re launching a new IP it’s very rare that the first game comes out and blows the doors off and that’s the end. It took until the third Grand Theft Auto to have a hit, a few Call Of Dutys and a few Medal Of Honors. You’ve got to stick with it. It isn’t always easy because there are analysts, press and investors that don’t like it, get pissed and want stuff now, but you have to be confident in your team and resolute hat it is the right idea. The things we had with Dead Space 2 worked and it felt good, but we also had a lot of shocks to the system in how the IP developed; we had some people leave the company, found a great benchmark, had a succession plan in place and made a better game that is outselling the original. We feel really good about it. The cool thing about making games now is that you have a lot of telemetry and analytics coming in from user behaviour, on what levels they churned on, what they liked and didn’t like and then going out and fine-tuning changes to you can make a Dead Space into a Dead Space 2 or Dragon Age into Dragon Age 2. You can add more, take away things they didn’t like and make a better product. You have to give the same team the opportunity to make the same game through multiple iterations to hit their potential.", so Gibeau.
Somit ist schon garantiert, dass Dead Space 3 erscheinen wird. Weitere Infos zum neuen Teil gibt es aber nicht. Visceral Games wird warscheinlich auch den dritten Teil entwickeln.
Dead Space 2 war erst am Anfang dieses Jahres erschienen. Das Bild oben stammt auch aus dem zweiten Teil.
