Remember a couple years back, when some of the top men behind the Dead Space series dangled a fourth game in front of Electronic Arts, and the response was basically, "Lose my number?" It sounds very much like that was the last gasp for the once-great horror games, at least for the foreseeable future, as producer Chuck Beaver said in an interview with FRVR that it just doesn't have the juice to satisfy the C-suite.
Beaver, who served as a producer on all three Dead Space games, said the challenge facing Dead Space is a familiar one: It needs the potential to be a huge hit in order for EA to give it the green light, and the "numbers just aren't there."
