Dead Space 3 screens

Issac is back, and in Dead Space 3 he faces an entirely new challenge. New environments and new enemies all featured heavily during EA's presentation.

Isaac Clarke and co crash land on Tau Volantis, fighting Necromorphs and zealots in sub-zero conditions.

Perhaps the most interesting revelation regarding the game was hearing that Visceral are doing away with the competitive multiplayer in favour of a co-op experience. The new playable character is Earthgov Sergeant John Carver.

Steve Papoutsis, Vice President and General Manager of Visceral Games and Executive Producer on Dead Space 3, said: "Dead Space 3 will deliver action and horror on a scale that far exceeds anything we've done before. The game will range from the depths of space and tight, indoor corridors to a harsh new planet with explorable environments that offer new challenges. For fans that love playing alone in the dark, they still can have the classic Dead Space experience that makes the franchise so unique."

"Likewise, players that want to share that immersive and intense experience with a friend now have that option thanks to the addition of co-op. Either way, the action is intense, the adventure is breathtaking, and the thrills are unforgettable."
