This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Dead Space 3 for PlayStation 3
Dead Space 3 for PlayStation 3 follows Isaac Clarke on a journey to Tau Volantis, a frozen planet linked to the origins of the Necromorph threat. Before arriving, you also investigate abandoned spacecraft. You watch the action over Isaac's shoulder, alternating engineering tasks with battles against distorted creatures and human enemies. Snow, darkness and damaged installations continually determine how clearly you can see your surroundings.
At workbenches you build weapons from collected components. You combine functions and adjust properties to match a tool to your fighting style. Stasis slows hazards and Kinesis moves objects, while targeting limbs remains important. Gathering materials gives exploration a practical purpose: a side room may hold the parts that let you alter your equipment before the next fight.
You can play the main campaign alone; there is no local cooperative play on one PS3. John Carver had a role in the original online cooperation; you can complete the main campaign on the disc independently. This Limited Edition comes with no guarantee of unused codes for extra suits, weapons or online passes. The later Awakened expansion is not automatically included.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
This is Dead Space 3 Limited Edition for PlayStation 3. The main campaign is on the disc. Unused bonus codes for First Contact, Witness the Truth or online passes are not guaranteed. Awakened is a separate expansion and is not offered as included.
Manual
Dead Space 3 for PlayStation 3 was originally released without a printed manual. This edition therefore does not come with a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item from the original packaging is missing.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of Dead Space 3
Electronic Arts released Dead Space 3 in 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Visceral Games built on Isaac's earlier encounters with Necromorphs and moved much of the journey to Tau Volantis. The snowy planet allowed different hazards from the enclosed corridors of earlier games. Travelling through derelict ships also maintained the series' connection with space travel and engineering problems.
The biggest changes involved weapon construction and the original cooperation with John Carver. A weapon no longer had to remain a fixed model with upgrades: different parts could form a personal combination. Searching rooms therefore also mattered for your next design. The campaign remained playable alone, so a second human player was not a requirement for the main story.
The Limited Edition was announced with First Contact and Witness the Truth packs, offering extra suits and weapons. This distinction concerned bonus content and did not make the main campaign a different game. Unused codes should not be assumed with a second-hand copy. Awakened followed as a separate expansion. This PS3 disc preserves the original third adventure and contains no remake or later reissue of the first Dead Space.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
Dead Space introduces Isaac and the Necromorphs aboard a mining ship on PlayStation 3. Ammunition management and targeted limb damage connect both games. Dead Space 3 moves part of that approach into the snow and gives you much more influence over how your weapons are assembled.
Dead Space 2 is the direct predecessor on PlayStation 3, featuring Isaac's memories and the infected settlement The Sprawl. Stasis, Kinesis and the shoulder view are familiar. The third game broadens the journey to wrecks and Tau Volantis. Building with separate parts also replaces some of the second game's fixed weapon selection.
Lost Planet 2 shares third-person shooting and battles with large creatures in a science-fiction world on PlayStation 3. It shifts between groups of fighters and also uses combat machines. Dead Space 3 stays with Isaac and gives body-targeted attacks, engineering tools and custom-built weapons a larger campaign role.
Resident Evil 6 also combines monsters, a shoulder camera and prominent action scenes on PlayStation 3. Its story is divided among several characters and campaigns. Dead Space 3 follows Isaac's continuous journey to Tau Volantis. Assembling equipment from materials matters more there than switching between different protagonists and storylines.
F.E.A.R. 3 mixes military fighting with supernatural apparitions on PlayStation 3, introducing two protagonists with different powers. It offers local split-screen cooperation. Dead Space 3 has no such local option. Its campaign centres on an engineer, Necromorphs and weapons that can be reassembled using collected components.
