Dead Space 3executive producer Steve Papoutsis has shared details on four unlockable modes for the action-horror game, and they are not for the faint of heart. After beating the campaign once, access will be given to New Game+, Classic, Pure Survival, and Hardcore.
Classic mode is single-player-only, has “classic aiming,” and does away with the crafting in favor of the series’ traditional weapon blueprints. In Pure Survival, enemies exclusively drop resources — and there’s no ammo, health, or weapon parts laying around, according to Papoutsis. Finally, Hardcore mode grants players a single life for the full campaign. Just the one. I wonder if there will bean unlockable for completion?
