Dead Space YouTube Channel Updates Profile Pic After 8 Years of Inactivity

The official YouTube channel for the Dead Space franchise has updated its profile picture for the first time in over eight years, fueling the rumors and speculation of the franchise's imminent return.

www.comingsoon.net

The official YouTube channel for the Dead Space franchise has updated its profile picture for the first time in almost nine years, which is after eight years of total inactivity. While a seemingly innocent change, this combined with other reports seems to point to the franchise’s imminent return.

As noted by Twitter user SierraI07 and the Dead Space subreddit, users recently noticed that the official YouTube channel’s profile picture was now a section of Dead Space 2‘s box art, as shown in the bottom half of the above picture. Visiting the Wayback Machine shows that the profile picture used to be the Dead Space 3 logo, which can be seen in the top half of the above picture. The channel had that logo for its profile picture since around August 2012 when the ill-fated trilogy-ending installment was announced. The Twitter account still has the Dead Space 3 logo.

Maybe EA is going to release its very first pachinko machine and it's going to be based on the Dead Space series.

 

[StateofMajora]

Would love a 4k60 dead space collection for starters. I actually don't own any of the dead space 360 discs so i'd buy it on disc.

Textures need redone though they shouldn't touch the lighting as they'll no doubt mess up the atmosphere. Maybe some extra geometry here and there too.

 

[Neff]

I'm ready to buy this trilogy for the 4th time

first pachinko machine?

 

[Nickolaidas]

Let's see if EA really *did* learn something from Fallen Order.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Y’know guys, it is possible to run a joke into the ground. Yeah, screwKonami, sure, but the Pachinko joke has lot it’s surprise. And here, it seems like the game is actually happening.

or maybe I’m just heartbroken and bitter about MGS3 Remake not existing.

You decide.

Remaster incoming

 

[Kenneth Haight]

I’m so down for this. Dead Space 1 and 2 were amazing

 

[skit_data]

 

[MadAnon]

Most likely just remasters.

 

[SinDelta]

Most likely just remasters.

Even just remasters of 1 and 2 could be great.

 

[jufonuk]

Ahh they are porting the Wii game to switch

 

[carlosrox]

Just be good like all 3 games. Please, please don't let me down.

Please be/feel like Dead Space.

And Isaac better be involved.

 

[Ellery]

Would prefer reboot/remake over remaster, but as long as they are quality and widely available on modern platforms I take it as a win.

(Obviously I prefer entirely new games, but I thought Dead Space to be dead)

 

[Impotaku]

Considering how much i generally hate the stuff ea output i weirdly really enjoyed dead space 1 & 2 the atmosphere was amazing. Number 3 felt more like a fps than an adventure like the other 2. Would be nice to revisit at least the 1st game tarted up in high def but i doubt we'll see that.

I wouldn't. All the talent from original deadspace will be working on that new spiritual successor to dead space now. EA don't have the interest to invest in a full reboot and do it properly. A tidy remaster is the best result in my opinion.

 

[scoobidoo112]

Remaster the trilogy, then announce a proper Dead Space 4.

If they come out with a game called "Dead Space", with a different team, different characters, having nothing to do with the others, then no thanks.

I want to know what happens after this:

Spoiler

Oh true. You are probably right about that one.

Well a remake with focus on graphics could work too

 

[ShadowNate]

Oh please let it be good news.

Is that a spoiler and yes I haven’t played through these games to completions just beefly played the first one.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

Very excited to see what EA have up their sleeve in regards to Dead Space. It's about time they started to wake up and see what promise there is from solo horror action titles, I hope they see the good work Capcom have been doing and use that as inspiration.

After 3, I am sort of hoping they'll refresh or reboot. As fun as sentient Moons are, it was a bit too much and for me was bordering on comedy.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Most likely just remasters.

that’s the best outcome really. I have zero faith in current EA doing a Dead Space reboot. They ruined the series meddling in its design and later closed Visceral Games because single player games weren’t appealing to them.

 

[MadAnon]

Even just remasters of 1 and 2 could be great.

Have you actually fired up DS1/DS2 recently? In what universe DS2 needs any kind of remaster? The only thing that needs remastering is DS1 because of those awful controls and res issues.

Dead space 1 and 2 with massive upgrades to lighting, using rtx etc would be a massive improvement. Dead space 2 is 10 years old. It could absolutely do with a visual upgrade.

Bruh... Just like they added RTX to ME remasters? Forget about it.

[Mister Wolf]

Let Respawn do it.

Sorry, I've added spoiler tags. Please edit your quote of my post.

I won't say anything more.

 

[OrionNebula]

Next thing you know : Dead Space skateboards

 

[Captain Toad]

Remaster incoming

I'd take it.

Unless they just remaster only part 3 to be complete assholes.

 

[darkangel-212559]

DS 1 and 2 remaster. Sure.

DS3 though? Lol

 

[retsof624]

I was about to play the trilogy on EA Play but I guess I'll wait and see. I was also about to play the Mass Effect trilogy and then the remasters got announced

One of my favorite horror games. I'd be so happy to replay DS 1 and 2

[Kamina]

Maybe they are making a DS Trilogy Remastered?

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Remasters are a lot less exciting once you have a Series X, not gonna lie.

 

[Diddy X]

Trilogy Remaster first!

 

[Kuranghi]

I'm replaying 1 now, what an absolute fucking treasure of a game.

*score produces unsettling doom noise*

 

[R6Rider]

I played the first a few years ago and the 2nd one last year. I'd be down to play them again with improvements and features.

Imagine the adaptive triggers for the various weapons.

 

[SoraNoKuni]

I don't really care about anything EA related nowadays, best case scenario is a trilogy remake pack.
Worst case scenario is a new game that destroys the Dead Space franchise once and for all.

 

[Kuranghi]

Yeah exactly the gun with the secondary fire where it fires all around you (The military machine gun maybe?) will feel amazing with haptics.

For adaptive triggers you could have the aim trigger for the cutter/line gun be two stage so that you change from vertical to horizontal without having to take your finger off the right stick to press a face button.

 

[SinDelta]

Huh if true. Still would prefer a proper 4.

Dead Space remake is in the works at Motive

Dead Space is making a return. Developer Motive is remaking the game with the goal of rebooting the franchise with modern visuals.

[synchronicity]

I sure hope we get a great new (or reimagined) game in the franchise. I'm one of the weirdos who loved Dead Space 3 as well, despite its differences and issues. Such a great series. Dead Space 1 is my clear favorite though. Bring back silent Isaac and that atmosphere please.

 

[Marvel]

Most excellent
