Why EA's Dead Space Can F*** Off (The Jimquisition)
🕑 Added 2021-07-05 11:24:03 +0000 UTCThere are mounting reports that Electronic Arts is about to announce some sort of Dead Space remake, with the leading suggestion being a reimagining of the original game.
As someone who loves Dead Space, I should be happy about this news, but my apathy is palpable. I am not interested in EA's Dead Space, not after EA drove the series into the dirt and killed the original studio.
This isn't Dead Space. This is EA's Dead Space, and even if it's good, I want nothing to do with the company's opportunism.

That’s what I thought. Does the $60m include marketing and distribution costs?
It's corpo logic. Before they even start working on something, they give an estimate to investors how much profit they think they'll make on it. If they guessed they'd make $500 million, but only ended up with $450 million in profit, they don't call that making $450 million, they say they lost $50 million on that project, and it's considered a failure.

I am confused. 4 million copies at 60$ a pop is 240 million dollars. That seems larger than 60 million dollars. So it made quite a lot of money, 180 million dollars.

With how unoriginal EA is I almost expect it will be a slot machine...

Maybe, maybe not. They might Fallen Order this game so they can be like "Hey we're good guys now... just ignore fifa"
I was always hoping for DS2 and DS3 coming to GOG, too.

I mean instead of a series revival EA is just gonna have some zombie cash machine shamble out, wont have a sliver of soul from the original games

Yeah fuck EA so much for slaughtering dead space, then the crazy talented visceral and having the goddamn gall to further pick at the corpse for spare parts

I think we have a snowball's chance in hell of EA releasing a single player, gory survival horror with no shooty-looty, GaaS, monetisation elements...
With a title like that, we're in for a treat. 😍
