Speaking at a recent EA showcase in London, Dead Space executive producer Steve Papoutsis explained that while Visceral Games has plenty of ideas for the deep space horror series, the studio doesn't intend to run the franchise into the ground. According to Videogamer.com, Papoutsis told attendees, "we've mapped out plenty of games worth of stuff. But there has to be an interest, right?" He added, "we don't want to cheapen what we're doing. We're really focused on quality with it. Hopefully if people like this one, we get to make another one."
Papoutsis then told the crowd, "it would be great to just keep making more and more of them. We're thinking kart racer, a fitness game... joke!" Yeah, we're not sure a Dead Space fitness game would go over so well. You know, considering Isaac Clarke's main technique for weight loss is to forcibly remove excess appendages with the aid of futuristic power tools.

@Ben
Please don't comment if all you have to say to people on Joystiq is negative and/or insulting. Either that or grow up a little bit.

With all the spin-offs and sequels these days I'm glad to see that some producers actually care about releasing only quality franchise games. One of the reasons that I enjoyed Dead Space so much was because it was a new and refreshing IP and that will fade quickly if EA tries to milk the franchise as they often do.

A fitness game would work. I got exhausted just watching Isaac throw his colossal haymakers. Heck, i'd probably get whatever they they come up with anyway.

Nice, so basically they're not going to whore it like a $10 trick like Call of Duty. Good for EA.

When people admit that their franchise is diluting and they promise to do it justice, I myself get wary - it's like they're trying to calm me down and get me to buy their product before they *really* screw me over.
