EA - DEAD SPACE Flashcards
Dead Space
Dead Space is a media franchise created by Glen Schofield, developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts. The franchise centers on a series of video games of the survival horror genre, and also includes two films and a comic book series, with more media planned for the future.
The series began in 2008 as an eponymous video game aimed at creating, in Schofield’s words, “the most terrifying game we could”; the game was a success and spawned a prequel and later a sequel released in 2011.
Each installment in the Dead Space series is a continuation or addition to a continuing storyline which began with the release of the original eponymous game. The game is set in a 26th-century science fiction universe featuring environments, weapons and characters typical of the genre. Generally speaking, the series focuses on a man named Isaac Clarke and the horrors that surround him.
So far the series has been commercially and critically successful, selling over 8 million copies; the first game and its sequel received widely positive reviews from the majority of critics and the first game has received a number of industry awards for many different elements of its gameplay and development.
