Been there. Just gotta double up on the lube.

Question to Raven or anyone who knows...how do you use the old smiley's? The only ones I see are the new ones in the editor. Also, would it be possible to add headbanging smiley's and middle finger smiley's?

My dad isn't doing too well, guys.

E A cans Dead Space series following poor sales of Dead Space 3 - report

Dead Space 4 cancelled, Visceral Montreal shut down.

By Wesley Yin-Poole Published Tuesday, 5 March 2013

EA has canned the Dead Space series, according to a new report.

Development on Dead Space 4 was ceased after lower than expected sales of Dead Space 3, a source told VideoGamer.com.

The game had been in pre-production at Visceral Games and Visceral Montreal. The latter was reportedly closed after a restructuring.

EA declined to comment when contacted by Eurogamer this morning.

Last month EA Games Label boss Frank Gibeau confirmed layoffs at EA's Los Angeles and Montreal developers. EA has gone on the record to say its core game franchises need to sell upwards of five million copies to remain viable.

It seems Dead Space 3 suffered a somewhat troubled development. According to the report, weapon-specific ammo was switched for generic ammo late in the day to accommodate the game's controversial micro-transactions, and developer Visceral were ordered to take the series into a more action-focused direction in order to emulate BioWare's Mass Effect franchise and broaden its appeal.

Dead Space 3 topped the UK all-format chart upon release, albeit with 26.6 per cent fewer sales than its predecessor. Dead Space 2 launched two years ago in a similar post-Christmas slot.

It seems EA has undergone something of a rethink across the board in recent weeks. Overnight it emerged that Dragon Age: Legends developer BioWare San Francisco had shut down, with all staff let go.

In January EA confirmed the retirement of the Medal of Honor brand after Medal of Honor: Warfighter flopped.

EA is still in the process of promoting Dead Space 3 downloadable content, including an expansion called Awakened.

EA Gone Crazy

I really don't like hearing this...it makes EA sound like they're trying to compete with Activision in the next-gen crazy talk. I really don't like the sound of them thinking EVERY game needs to sell 5 million or its done and what that is going to mean for Bioware going forward.

Dead Space is very popular but it didn't sell 5 million so they're shutting down the studio and canceling the franchise? I'm sorry but this is INSANE. I'd be glad if they stopped making them for awhile as 3 is plenty, but this is just going too far.

The article said that: Dead Space 3 topped the UK all-format chart upon release, albeit with 26.6 per cent fewer sales than its predecessor. Dead Space 2 launched two years ago in a similar post-Christmas slot. So if there was a similar drop worldwide I can see what it was canned. The whole industry has been down by a similar amount though.

Thief 4 next gen art/screens
