Dead Space 3 to feature Kinect voice control

Visceral Games, an Electronic Arts studio, today announced that Dead Space 3 will have exclusive Kinect features on the Xbox 360.

Dead Space 3 featuring Kinect will make it easier for co-op partners to give each other health or ammo, find objectives, revive one another and more.

“The voice commands in Dead Space 3 give players a unique way to take down the terror, whether they choose to face the Necromorphs alone in single-player, or alongside a friend with drop-in / drop-out co-op,” said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer on Dead Space 3 and VP, General Manager of Visceral Games.  “Dead Space 3 delivers the action-horror experience our fans have come to know and love. And with the ability to survive the adventure alone, with a friend, or with Kinect, we’re excited about extending the spine-tingling Dead Space experience to a whole new audience of players.”

Dead Space 3 will be available on February 5, 2013 in North America and February 8, 2013 in Europe for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the PC.
