The world was stricken dumb today by EA’s news that their mostly-successful survival horror space opera Dead Space is receiving the sequel nod sometime in the future. Not really, I think we saw that one coming.
Personally, I liked how Dead Space ended. It was a suiting finish to a polished and engaging game. I would rather the developers (Visceral Games, also creators of the upcoming Dante’s Inferno game) try something else out, taking what they’d learned from the experience and developing a new concept altogether. I’m scared that a sequel will only seek to improve/lengthen what we already saw with the first game, while a new franchise would be refreshing to see.
Considering that our whole entertainment industry relies so heavily on sequels, I can’t put it past Visceral Games for staying with an already-successful name. I’m just not sure how much more fun they can squeeze out of Dead Space.
