Sales might win them over but as it stands it's a passion project from one studio to make a reincarnated Dead Space 1 experience. But it appears that most publishers are simply looking for the the next COD or Destiny game (sales wise) instead of creating a nice portfolio of important titles.I'm not at all convinced they're really trying to revitalize the franchise. The sad thing is that a bit more reasonable sales expectations would guarantee the existence of new gaming experiences. Unfortunately, they also prove that most publishers are as greedy as they can get when it comes to the franchises they own. These are some really interesting details about the production/expectations of triple-A games. That’s the most logical explanation as to why we never saw a new Dead Space game.įor comparison purposes, Zach revealed that the first Dead Space game cost around 37 million. And since Dead Space 3 was not a commercial success, EA decided to simply kill the franchise. The fact that Dead Space 2 did not meet EA’s expectations may explain the inclusion of all those ridiculous micro-transactions in Dead Space 3. However, and similarly to Square Enix, it appears that EA was not satisfied with Dead Space 2’s sales. Thankfully, Tomb Raider, Hitman: Absolution and Sleeping Dogs broke even. This reminds me of Square Enix’s ridiculous expectations for Tomb Raider. And like it or not, this was, is, and will always be a niche genre.

Now while Zach Wilson did not clarify whether the game was profitable or not, he did reveal that it did not meet EA’s expectations. According to him, Dead Space 2 sold around 4 million copies, and that still wasn’t enough for Electronic Arts. And now, former Battlefield Hardline and Star Wars level designer, Zach Wilson, revealed some really interesting information about Dead Space 2. A couple of hours ago, we informed you about the closure of Visceral Studios.
