Dead Space 3 Limited Edition
EA2/5/2013Americas

Visceral Games sent Isaac Clarke to an ice planet and gave Limited Edition buyers on Xbox 360 the gear to survive it. This variant of the Dead Space 3 Limited Edition keeps things streamlined, listing the core exclusives without the extended flavor text, but the goods are the same and they still matter.

The Witness Suit insulates Isaac against the frozen hell of Tau Volantis, while the First Contact Suit wraps him in heavy armor built for the vacuum of space. Two environments, two suits, each one tailored to the threats you'll face. The Evangelizer weapon handles crowd control with its rifle-shotgun hybrid design, and the Negotiator weapon brings Tesla-powered dismemberment to the party because Dead Space never met a limb it didn't want to sever.

What's worth noting about Dead Space 3's Limited Edition is how it represents the end of an era on multiple levels. It was among the last major horror franchise entries on the Xbox 360. It was the final chapter in the original Dead Space trilogy. And it arrived at a moment when physical media extras still meant something to the day-one buyer. The suits and weapons weren't cosmetic throwaways. They were functional gear that altered your approach to combat and exploration from the opening hours.

For trilogy collectors, having the Limited Edition of each Dead Space entry on 360 creates a complete set that tells the story of a franchise growing bolder with each installment. This one's the closer, and it comes equipped for the coldest fight in the series.
