Carver’s won’t.Dead Space 3 brings Isaac Clarke and merciless soldier John Carver on a journey across space to discover the source of the Necromorph outbreak. Isaac’s story plays out relatively similar either way.

You can let him suffer if you play single-player, or bring Carver and his baggage along for the ride. With Isaac having conquered (most) of his psychological issues and had time to cope with his trauma, Dead Space 3 presents the chance for someone else to bear the burden.

It wasn’t possible for them then because of time and resources, but Beaver says “we’ve had it on our mind for a couple games.” It wasn’t until Carver that cooperative play made any logical sense anyway. Visceral started talking about co-op extensively with Dead Space 2. “The addition of one friend doesn’t take the edge off, it changes the way you feel because you have someone with you.” Co-op was an inevitability. We have a lot of monsters trying to eat your face, and there’s more of them, the waves are harder,” he said. “You will be so surprised when you play it, a lot of doesn’t go away. Beaver promises that panic and tension remain regardless of who’s present in your play-through. He’ll unlock entirely different armor than Isaac because of his past as a ranking officer - whether that’s purely cosmetic or has an effect on skill bonuses remains to be seen.ĭead Space fans have been on edge since the initial reveal that Dead Space 3 would feature co-op multiplayer. His red visor isn’t simply a visual tool to tell you which guy is which, either. He’s brought to life by Desperate Housewives’ Ricardo Chivera and was fully motion-captured the same as any leading role would be. He has a different history, ethnicity, and relationships than Isaac, and therefore behaves significantly different than the main protagonist. We had to dial that back a bit.” The final version of Carver retains the scarred face. “He’s grappling with how to become more human in the face of more monsters. He wanted Carver to be a monster inside and out,” Beaver said. “He’s got scars inside and out.” When Visceral first started sketching out what this second character would look like, “ Ben Wanat, the creative director, gave him this huge gash that made him almost look like a monster. Carver’s military past left him struggling to come home and coming to terms with what he’s seen, and “his body reflects that,” said Beaver.

“To reinforce Carver’s importance and independence, Visceral wanted Player 2 look and feel like a different person than they’re used to with Isaac.
