<p>In a recent hands-on play session with Dead Space 3, Eurogamer staff noticed something very interesting pop up when you don&#8217;t have enough resources to create a better weapon. What did this message contain? The mention of &#8220;downloadable content&#8221; through stating: &#8220;Cannot craft. Additional resources required&#8221;.</p>
<p>According to Yara Khoury, the associate producer of Dead Space 3, &#8220;You can buy resources with real money, but scavenger bots can also give you the currency that you can use on the market place&#8221;.</p>
<p>Yara Khoury continued later in the interview that &#8220;a lot of weapon parts that are only available to buy later in the game. Unless you&#8217;re playing through it again&#8221;, meaning gamers simply won&#8217;t be able to purchase and/or create the best weapons from the get-go at the start of the game.</p>
<p>What do you make of Dead Space 3&#8217;s Micro-Transaction plan? Do you agree that such a system should be implemented in a retail game? Let us know in the comments below!</p>
