Redwood City, Calif . – Dec. 13, 2012 – Find partner! Fire stasis! Attack enemy! Visceral Games, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) studio, announced that they will be bringing Kinect voice control to Dead Space 3 on the Xbox 360. The new feature will allow players to further immerse themselves in the world of Dead Space. The function allows players to use simple voice commands in order to help a friend from the onslaught of horrors and thrills that will await them in the game. Dead Space 3 featuring Kinect will make it easier for co-op partners to give each other health, ammo, or pointers to find and complete objectives and revive one another.
“The voice commands in Dead Space 3 give players a unique way to take down the terror, whether they choose to face the Necromorphs alone in single-player, or alongside a friend with drop-in / drop-out co-op,” said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer on Dead Space 3 and VP, General Manager of Visceral Games. “Dead Space 3 delivers the action-horror experience our fans have come to know and love. And with the ability to survive the adventure alone, with a friend, or with Kinect, we’re excited about extending the spine-tingling Dead Space experience to a whole new audience of players.”
Winner of more than 15 critic awards at E3 2012, including Best of Show from Game Informer Magazine, Dead Space 3 rips through the heart of deep space terror. The game is recognized by critics worldwide for its well crafted experience in horror, action, suspense and sound design. Players will embark on a ride through space that takes them to the new hostile planet, Tau Volantis. Fortunate enough, they are not alone this time, as the fully integrated drop-in/drop-out co-op feature gives players the option to play alone or with a friend. Players that choose to take down the horror with a friend will experience additional story details, side missions, and gameplay mechanics only found when playing as John Carver.
Dead Space 3 will be available on February 5, 2013 in North America and February 8, 2013 in Europe for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 and the PC.
