Dead Space 3 could offer 100 hours of gameplay

Dead Space 3 has so much more depth compared to its predecessors that it could 'literally' feature 100 hours of gameplay.

Associate Producer, Yara Khoury, said the addition of a weapon-crafting feature and a bigger focus on gameplay and environments means players could enjoy the game for a very long time.

Khoury told AusGamers: "I think Dead Space 3 is a little bit different because we have a little bit more depth in gameplay, and also in the environments. So we have the beta-path, which are additional, and total optional levels to explore, which is great if you want to scavenge for great resources.

"So this totally ties back into the weapon-crafting feature, and the resource management, where you have to explore the world to find the best resources that get you the best parts, and the most badass weapons that you can make. So this all ties in together, into that focus in our investment into making more options for our players to explore."

Khoury went on to explain how players could get the most out of the game.

She added: "If you are into weapon crafting, you can spend literally 100 hours in this thing. If you want to explore all the beta-paths; if you want to replay with the co-op; it's way more about choice in Dead Space 3: you can really spend a lot of time doing that.

"So I would say it's a deeper game, that has more gameplay depth, and I think our players are going to find a lot of replayability value; more than in Dead Space and in Dead Space 2, actually."
