A blog post from Dead Space 3 Game Producer, Steve Papoutsis, has revealed some exciting new game modes, as well as a tease for forthcoming DLC.
Not only will players with a Mass Effect 3 save on their hard drive get an exclusive N7 suit of armor for Carver and Isaac in Dead Space 3, but there will also be a series of day-one DLC armor releases, such as “Marauder” “Sharpshooter” and “Tundra Recon.”
Papoutsis also talked about the Resource Packs that will be purchasable with real money to upgrade weapons. Papoutsis did, however, state that the same packs can also be claimed in the game.
However, the meat of the post tells players that four game modes will unlock once the game is beaten once!
Firstly, there will be New Game +- this will carry over all unlocked weapons and upgrades into the main game.
Classic mode takes players back to the franchises’ Dead Space 1 roots. Co-op will be removed, weapons can only be made from pre-assembled blue-prints and a classic mode of aiming will be used.
Pure Survival mode removes all ammo, weapon and health-pickups, and will see enemies only drop resources. Players will need to go to the workbench and be more meticulous than ever in how they spend them. This mode sounds cruel and a real challenge.
Finally, there’s Hardcore mode. Players will get one life. Like Diablo 3’s Hardcore mode, if players die, they have to start the game all over.
There seems to be a lot of replayability in Dead Space 3, that’s for sure.
If that wasn’t enough, Papoutsis also confirmed the game will get Post-story DLC. There are no details to share at this time but he said it was a top secret additional story and it will be ‘disturbing’.
