[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57321, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/dead-space']Dead Space[/URL] developers used diehard fans to help keep them on track. During [URL='https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/dead-space/dead-space/news/inside-dead-space-1-remaking-a-classic']a new blog post[/URL], creative director Roman Campos-Oriola revealed that the Dead Space remake devs consulted with their very own community council every six weeks. “Really, really early in development, we started discussions with some members of the community who were identified by our team as diehard fans,” he revealed. “We met with them every six weeks, roughly, and we gave them full access to what we were doing.” Why did they consult the fans?
