Isaac Clarke has always been prepared for each Dead Space adventure; his engineering abilities allowing him to use any piece of equipment as a weapon. But with our protagonist now facing off against human enemies, he’s going to need some stronger firepower - and that’s where Dead Space 3’s pre-order bonuses come into play.
It’s unfortunate that players will have to pick and choose which retailer they pre-order Dead Space 3 from in order to get one item over the other, though thankfully it shouldn’t be that difficult of a choice. Knowing EA, both guns will probably be made available as eventual DLC
This is a completely different situation compared to Sony and Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time, which featured various, compelling per-order bonuses all exclusive to different retailers. At least in this case the player only has to choose between one of two guns!
With a brand new co-op mode (which can thankfully be played solo) - not to mention a few other changes - we’re quite looking forward to playing Dead Space 3 next year. I know which retailer I’m pre-ordering from (hint: it’s the one with the awesome electrocution gun), how about you?
Dead Space 3 releases February 5th, 2013 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
