Dead Space too scary so co-op was introduced, says EA

The single-player nature of the original Dead Space and its sequel proved too scary for some gamers, says EA Games, hence the reason co-op was introduced for Dead Space 3.
According to marketing head Laura Miele, research conducted by the publishing behemoth indicates that many players would have rather experienced Dead Space with a partner – thus, co-op was created for the third instalment in the sci-fi horror franchise.
However, Miele quickly moved to flatten any fears that the horror aspect of the series will suffer as a result of co-op play.
"We were hearing feedback that they love the thriller game, but it was pretty scary, and the obvious next step was that they wanted to play with someone. So we introduced co-op into the game," she told MCV.
"The horror of Dead Space is still all there. It's still true to its roots and no less scary, but people felt far more comfortable playing it with someone else than they did doing it on their own.”
"Personally, I would rather go to scary movie with my husband rather than sit at home with the lights out watching one on my own. We're looking for that to reach out to consumers that perhaps were not open to Dead Space 1 and 2."
Dead Space 3 is due out in early 2013 and takes place on an ice planet known as Tau Volentis, and sees returning hero Isaac Clarke teaming up with newcomer John Carver.

dead space is not a horror game it's an action game so obviously co op is the natural direction but by doing this they will kill what's cool in dead space the atmosphere one more thing the horror genre has disappeared mostly because of the lack of innovation one example is Silent Hill.

I'd rather play Dead Space than amnesia or silent hill. Dead Space is a fun high quality thrill ride. Has tense and creepy moments, fun gameplay, and an interesting narrative.
Also everyone seems to forget that the coop will be OPTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They released a full demo video showing that the game's cinematics actually differ when you play with a partner and when you play alone. When you go solo you are alone and that other character talks from a distance like how it was in DS1 and 2. When you play coop that guy has more conversations with isaac and he's the coop character. It looks very well done. I don't see why everyone is loosing their s#it over this.
