Dead Space 3 Trailer Spoils Game
EA have released the last part of "A Journey Through Terror" from which EA decided to make it extra special by giving away huge plot elements that removes the need to play Dead Space 1/2. So if you're interested in playing the previous games before Dead Space 3, I'd strongly advise against watching this video.
Additionally EA included the plot foundations & developments of the first 1 hour of gameplay from Dead Space 3, which again I really, really, don't understand why they'd do that... I've only managed to watch barely 2 minutes of this video because it started to spoil the game that I've not even had a chance to complete yet, therefore I cannot tell you if it gets any worse!
Earlier this week we spoke about the infinite resource exploit that allows the player to gather as many resources as he/she wants, without having to do multiple playthroughs with New Game+ or using the ingame store. EA have finally spoken about this to PC Gamer by saying:
“The resource-earning mechanic in Dead Space 3 is not a glitch,” EA PR rep Jino Talens told PC Gamer. “We have no plans to issue a patch to change this aspect of the game. We encourage players to explore the game and discover the areas where resources respawn for free. We've deliberately designed Dead Space 3 to allow players to harvest resources by playing through the game. For those that wish to accumulate upgrades instantly, we have enabled an optional system for them to buy the resources at a minimal cost.”
For once EA are doing the right thing by allowing this exploit to remain within the game, although I doubt they wanted to. My guess is the development team are already working on Dead Space 4 and EA cannot be bothered to spare a few hours to fix this exploit and any other bugs that may be present...

Uh, I highly doubt that it's a matter of laziness as opposed to it being their way of quelling people's anger over the micro-transactions in the game as, with this glitch, there's at least some way to grind. It'd take one person from Visceral minutes to fix otherwise...
