With little room even for traditional movement, a flailing leap into a wall is hardly going to help you stay on top of a tricky combat situation. In fact, if anything, it’s a hindrance in DS3’s tight, cramped, black-as-an-eight-ball’s-bumhole corridors. Basically, it’s a combat roll focused through the lens of cumbersome survival horror control, rather than survival horror control ruined with the addition of a combat roll.
Isaac’s evasive roll, for instance, is a rather stiff and clunky affair, and nigh impossible to accurately control when trying to roll at diagonals. Because in reality, they’re not half as useful as you might expect.Ībove: Go on, roll your way out of that one
While Isaac’s new found manoeuvrability might send alarm bells going off in your head (provided you have some kind of crazy Inspector Gadget style hazard warning system implanted into your cranium), in reality they haven’t actually changed the core survival horror gameplay much. So it’s Gears of Dead Space: Drake’s Misfortune, right? Wrong. Isaac can now duck and perform evasive rolls in Dead Space 3. Isaac’s new manoeuvrability doesn’t make him a badass. Oh, and you wouldn't believe how fun Dead Space's trademark corpse-stomping is with two players. With branching paths, the return of DS1's more explorable hub structure, and a bunch of extra, co-op only side-missions - not to mention NG+'s weapon and armour boosts - you can essentially turn Dead Space 3 into two completely different games depending on how you play it. And, post-completion, New Game+ is fully available in co-op. For instance the totally drop-in, drop-out nature of both the mode and Carver himself means that should you hit a difficulty bottle-neck you can always bring a friend in for a bit of temporary help before continuing on your own. Above: Same here, plus a Necromorph doing the dance from ThrillerĪnd aside from that, there are actually some bonuses to be had from co-op.
