The sad thing imo is they had massive plans for Dead Space 4 that they abandoned because Dead Space 3 was pretty meh.
I mean while I don't like EA, the route they took with 3 was pretty disappointing. Was just way too actiony for its own good and what I'm seeing for 4 is interesting but I'm not sure I would call it dead space since they wanted to add some survival elements and being a bit more open ended. Like the pitch they were going for seems to be in a weird way a roguelite style of approach in the vain of cryptark or void bastards at least from how they were describing it. Like what was being suggested seems too wide but once it actually hit development it would have downscale quite a bit then likely gotten more toxic monetization. Looks like they were trying to keep the gun customization of dead space 3, which honestly just broke that game since balancing was all over the place.
I have to wonder who approved that the BBEG is the Moon. Now you're gonna kill it.
Talk about jumping the shark.
