Dead Space 3 Will Feature Kinect Voice Commands

Posted on Thursday, December 13 @ 13:00:51 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


In case screaming at you co-op partner won't be enough while playing through Dead Space 3, the Xbox 360 version of Visceral Games' upcoming action title will also allow you to yell at your Kinect.

That's right, EA has just announced that the third entry in their horror-filled franchise will support Kinect voice commands. Steve Papoutsis, the game's executive producer elaborated on the added feature, speaking in a relatively ambiguous fashion. “The voice commands in Dead Space 3 give players a unique way to take down the terror, whether they choose to face the Necromorphs alone in single-player, or alongside a friend with drop-in / drop-out co-op,” he said.
 

Papoutsis went on to add that “Dead Space 3 delivers the action-horror experience our fans have come to know and love. And with the ability to survive the adventure alone, with a friend, or with Kinect, we’re excited about extending the spine-tingling Dead Space experience to a whole new audience of players.”

I don't know guys... Is the Dead Space franchise slowly losing its identity as EA continues to try and make this series more accessible to a mainstream audience? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

    Thats tough. At first I was worried about the addition of the drop-in/drop-out co-op because I felt what made the first two games so damn scary was the fact that you were alone, with only your wits and trusty plasma cutter to help you out. I have faith EA will do it right but I dont want it to turn from a survivor/horror game to an action jackson game (like resident evil). I play it on PS3 so really dont care about the kinect option. Plus, Im sure my girlfirend cant deal with me shouting at the TV more than I already do.

    I think they need to shake it up with stuff like this, especially if the plot/setting is going to be similar to the first two. I loved Dead Space but felt that Dead Space 2 was the exact same game, there really weren't any major additions that differentiated it from the first. Same with the Bioshock's, I'm hoping this will be good, and Bioshock Infinite looks good already simply because its in a totally different setting =D

    Yaah, I have to agree. Especaily with the bioshock reference. The sequal just felt like the same thing as the first one, which you cant knock developers from doing since the the original titles are such big hits. I have high hopes for both titles.

    I agree too. BioShock 2 was a real disappointment, but was still solid. I just hated how repetitive the second game was. I actually bought the collector's edition and read through the art book. They had A LOT of original ideas, but kept scrapping them because they were afraid it would break the game. Every time I read a new idea I was like, "Why didn't they do that!?" A real shame 2K Australia was afraid of change. Dead Space 2 was different in a sense that it was a completely new setting and ride. BioShock 2 almost had the same levels even. It should have just been an expansion.

    Kinect commands could be cool in a survival game. Not so much actively waiting for commands but watching and listening to the player to try and determine how scared they are. The game could react appropriately based off of that kind of input to scare the **** out of you even more at the right moments.
