Last week's No.1, Fire Emblem Engage, drops to No.7 after a 76% sales slide. The new IP from Square Enix, which is exclusive to PS5, has got off to a relatively slow start and manages No.4. Again, this will likely change once the digital data is in as Xbox gamers tend to download more. Furthermore, Dead Space 2's physical release appears to be limited, with low stock reported across UK stores.Ĩ0% of Dead Space's physical sales were on PS5, with the remainder on Xbox. Especially as EA had a series of eye-catching digital offers around Dead Space, including PC gamers getting Dead Space 2 for free. We'll be able to have a better comparison between the two games once the digital data arrives later in the week. It was also available on more platforms, as The Callisto Protocol received a PS4 and Xbox One version. A few key differences is The Callisto Protocol had a lower price point than Dead Space (average selling price of £47 vs £63), and was released during the Christmas window when physical games tend to perform better (due to them being bought as Christmas presents). However, it sold less than half of what The Callisto Protocol managed in its first week back in December (The Callisto Protocol is a very similar game made by some of the original developers of Dead Space). As a result, these physical retail charts can only tell us so much (digital data comes later in the week, and doesn't include subscription).ĮA's Dead Space remake was easily the best-selling game. Hi-Fi Rush was digital-only and available via Game Pass, while Goldeneye was (primarily) limited to subscription services.

"So much of that game was ruined because of EA’s meddling through micro-transactions and the mistaken idea that Dead Space fans were interested in an RE5-esque co-op experience.It was a busy week for game releases last week, with Dead Space, Forspoken, Goldeneye and Hi-Fi Rush all available.

" 3 needs to be reimagined entirely to remove the crafting mechanics and possibly redo some story beats to not have so much of that game’s story content locked behind co-op and which character you’re playing as," ResetERA user Jersey_Tom wrote. Many are all for a Dead Space 2 remake, but there is a little more trepidation for one for Dead Space 3. Rogers' tweet made its way to ResetERA, and fans began chiming in with their own opinions. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, but it's always nice to see these questions being asked.

It's a pretty standard question with the responses ranging from "not at all interested" to "extremely interested," but it shows EA is at least entertaining the idea. o2f1OPC1zM- Dillon Rogers February 25, 2023 As reported by Eurogamer, the survey in question was shared on Twitter by Dillon Rogers, a developer on Gloomwood, and it simply asks, "how interested would you be in a similar remake of Dead Space 2 (2011)?" and "How interested would you be in a similar remake of Dead Space 3 (2013)?"
