Dead Space 3 E3 2012 Gameplay June 19, 2012

EA showed more of Dead Space 3 than just what was at the E3 Media Briefing at E3 2012 this year.  They showed over twenty minutes of footage for the game, and in particular the differences between the game’s story when played either alone in single-player or with a friend in drop-in drop-out cooperative play.

The video switches between different gameplay sections in the second act of the game, showing both the single player and cooperative sides of some sections.  Breaking it up is filmed introductions by the game’s producer, Steve Papoutsis.  While he does set up what we’re about to see during the filmed introductions, he does not speak over the game footage and interrupt the gameplay.  It’s a great watch for anyone interested in how the game will be different from previous games, and also its similarities.

So just who is this new character that finds himself with Issac Clarke on a planet that’s very, very cold?  Well, maybe the opening of this new animated graphic novel will help show you just what kind of character is John Carver, and why he’s so determined to destroy the marker.

Dead Space 3 is coming in 2013 to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
