EA On Why Saboteur, Dragon Age Isn't This Year's Dead Space, Mirror's Edge

360 News from N4G | Dead Space

360 - Dead Space - EA On Why Saboteur, Dragon Age Isn't This Year's Dead Space, Mirror's Edge

Dead Space and Mirror's Edge were poised as massive, blockbuster new franchises for Electronic Arts last year, but while both were mostly critical successes (though Mirror's Edge nicely divided people), neither were the multi-million sellers they'd been pegged as. During the Pacific Crest 11th Annual Technology Leadership Forum, EA CFO Eric Brown was asked a tough question -- are Saboteur and Dragon Age: Origins this year's Dead Space and Mirror's Edge?

"Looking at the two franchises, we have more modest expectations for Saboteur," explained Brown. "It's a version one of that IP, kind of an open world set in circa early 1940s Paris. We've kind of set our expectations accordingly for that title, so that's probably one difference versus where we were, say, 12 months ago."

Ian Fisher writes: The cycle continues as the latest popular video game destined to become a major motion picture is EA's sci-fi horror game "Dead Space". This project seems to be a bit farther along than EA's other film ventures such as "Army of Two", "Dante's Inferno", and "The Sims" as a director has already been attached to the project. D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) will be directing the film and this won't be his first time working on a video game project as he is also directing the Masi Oka MMO adventure film "Defender."

360 - Dead Space - Visceral open to old IP, Dead Space sells 1.4 million

With the renaming of EA Redwood Shores to Visceral Games came the announcement that the rechristened studio would focus on generating new intellectual properties. While the studio is working on new IPs, Visceral's general manager Glen Schofield told GameSpot that "if the right license came along--the right movie, the right book or whatever--we'd do that as well." Stating that Visceral wouldn't just be "The New IP House," Schofield pointed to Capcom as a good example of a company that produces great original IP that can be turned into franchises, something he hopes to see happen for Dead Space.

EA Hints At Possible Multiplayer For Next Dead Space

360 News from N4G | Dead Space

360 - Dead Space - EA Hints At Possible Multiplayer For Next Dead Space

Hell Descent Writes "EA has started an online survey for Dead Space with some interesting multiplayer based questions. We received the email in our inbox with the exciting "You've played the game…Now Tell Us What You Think" email. The survey asks what kind of modes do you enjoy, would co-op be a fun addition and if Zero-G deathmatch sounded like a fun multiplayer type. Luckily the survey made sure to ask more than just multiplayer based questions. The survey continues to ask about new function and how to improve the scariness. With these kind of surveys it good to know that EA is looking into a Dead Space sequel/prequel.
Feel free to take a stab at the survey. Who knows, maybe your participation will make the next Dead Space better in some way."
