EA says that Dead Space 3 will see the addition of co-op because of feedback the company was getting from people who played the first two games.

Those whom the company polled called the game "too scary" and so the marketing team at EA decided that the only way to cater to these folks was to tone down the game's scares a little by adding co-op support to make it more palatable to more players.

"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," said Laura Miele, head of EA Games' marketing division.

"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."

Now, it's pretty obvious that having two players instead of one is going to make the game a lot less scary, but EA hopes that the co-op experience the game provides will be like watching a scary movie with someone else.

"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 set for release on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in February 2013.
