Dead Space 3 to features voice commands on Kinect for Xbox 360

Dead Space 3 on the Xbox 360 will feature Kinect functionality, allowing players to use simple voice commands to help a friend, EA has announced.

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. For example, Isaac and Carver can share items with each other when the player says "share ammo" or "give Stasis."

“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.

“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 5th, 2013 in North America and February 8th, 2013 in Europe for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the PC.
