South African retailer BT Games, previously known for outing games and other game-related content, has listed "Dead Space 3" for pre-order on its website. Does this mean the third installment of EA's survival-horror franchise is on its way? Check the full article on Game Freaks 365 for the Dead Space 3 listing, rumors, speculation, and more.
"The news shouldn't be surprising given that the company has already churned out a sequel to the original survival horror 3rd-person shooter, a prequel rail-shooter spin-off for the Wii (and PS3), a puzzle game, an awesome iOS and Android 3rd-person shooter, comics and a novel. However an EA insider claims that the company is basically just getting started with the franchise, and is looking at new ways to expand the Dead Space universe."
"A report by international news organisation Reuters has confirmed a 2010 release date for the highly anticipated sequel to 2008’s Dead Space on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game is reported to be in development at Visceral Games, an Electronic Arts studio, alongside Dante’s Inferno, also due for release next year."
"Yesterday afternoon news broke that Electronic Arts had filed a trademark for the name Visceral Games. While there may be a number of reasons for such a move the opening of a brand new studio or development of a new line of products, for example Blend Games have drawn a connection with a report in Variety from back in September 2008, in which EA Redwood Shores Glen Schofield stated that they were Looking to brand the studio. Thats what Im doing right now. Its going through legal."
Yesterday, there was a report that Dead Space would be banned in Germany, Japan, and China (link). Game Politics doesn't believe that there is a ban in those countries, for a number of convincing reasons (i.e. EA didn't say anything about it, EA might not even distribute games to China out of piracy concerns, etc).
