[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65892, member: 1"] The original creators of much-loved sci-fi horror video game Dead Space say they pitched EA on Dead Space 4 this year, only for the publisher to say it wasn’t interested. In an interview with [URL='https://youtu.be/cU5PrEr1HjM?feature=shared']Dan Allen Gaming[/URL], Glen Schofield, Christopher Stone, and Bret Robbins, three of the leading creatives at the now shuttered original Dead Space developer EA Redwood Shores / Visceral Games, revealed they all joined together to pitch EA on Dead Space 4. “We tried, actually, the three of us,” Schofield revealed. “Dead Space 4. We’re talking this year.” Unfortunately for Dead Space fans, EA said it wasn’t interested, with Schofield suggesting projections for how many copies Dead Space 4 would have to sell to make the venture worthwhile were perhaps a key factor in the decision. “We didn’t go too deep,” Schofield explained. “They just said, ‘We're not interested right now. We appreciate it blah blah blah, and you know we know who to talk to.’ So we didn't take it any further. And we respected their opinion. They know their numbers and what they have to ship and all that so yeah.” Stone added that the video game industry’s high-profile struggles and its subsequent risk aversion has made projects such as Dead Space 4 a particularly hard sell. “The industry is in a weird place right now,” Stone said. “People are really hesitant to take chances on things. So you got to take it with a grain of salt. Who knows, maybe one day. I think we'd all love to do it.” “Yeah,” Schofield continued, “we got some ideas.” “I'd make a Dead Space 4,” Stone declared. Alas, it sounds like Dead Space 4 is an unlikely prospect, with EA focusing on its enormously successful sports games, The Sims, the revival of Battlefield, and Respawn’s ongoing projects, including the third Star Wars Jedi game. BioWare recently released Dragon Age Veilguard and is working on Mass Effect 5. EA released the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/dead-space-remake-review']well-received Dead Space remake[/URL] in 2023, but since then EA hasn’t said anything about a potential Dead Space 4. The last mainline game in the franchise, [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/dead-space-3']Dead Space 3[/URL], came out over a decade ago, in 2013. [I]Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
