We’ve been covering gaming news for a quite a while now and wherever possible we do try and fact check rather than post random rumours which is why we never posted the story about a South African retailer listing Dead Space 3.
Karl Klöpfer, Operations Manager at BT Games, the retailer who ‘leaked’ Dead Space 3′ and ”Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2′, has issued the following statement.
“Any pre-order information we post on the BT Games site is only posted after we find information online from reputable websites confirming the existence of a title. At no point were we the first to announce a title.”
Retailers regularly list games that do not officially exist (Play.com is terrible for such things) or post guesstimate release dates.
So there you go, news we did not publish is not news, yay TSA news team!
Now if only we could get the podcast crew to fact check.

Wait. What? So, Dead Space 3 does exist? Or it doesn’t because Klöpfer is just saying he gets it from “reputable websites”, websites you then go on to say are not actually accurate?
Confusing article is confusing.

Of course there’ll be a third game in that series… Nothing announced yet though.
But the retailer dude says he found mention of it somewhere reputable online (although not where) and that’s why they listed it. However, it was this retailer listing it that caused a lot of websites to make their first mention of it.
Whatever way you look at it, there are a lot more people who have heard of this online store now…

Oh, I’m sure there will be a Dead Space 3. I just found this news piece to be a little … vague? Maybe I’m just having a dumb day.
To be honest, I didn’t know about the listing as I only read TSA.

It is technically dead so I guess it doesn’t exist at all in space. Simply never interested in Dead Space however its obvious that its bound for E3 with the new NFS to terror our racing urges.

Hopefully Visceral are getting to work on a Dante’s2 whilst Dead Space 3 gets breathing space.
