From EA’s conference we learn that Dead Space 3 not only will have coop gameplay (as we have already known) but drop in, drop out coop. Also, we learn from this trailer that there is a giant space monster that likes to eat people. Space monsters always seem to like to eat people.

Looks like there is going to be some tension between Clark and Carver. That’s a good thing. Someone needs to continue to tell Clark he’s mad in the head.
Regarding the coop, the official site says this:
