  • What is the modal of ps3 you are using dead space wont play on some of the older ps3. If that is not the issue then you will have to pray and hop ea comes out with another patch but they have not got back to a lot of people in a wile. I know it's frustrating I can't play this game ether and it anose the heack out of me and I'm a die hard dead space fan.

    Sounds like a defective hard-drive or CPU on the playstation itself. You've proved it yourself by trying two disks and everyone else can play fine. I'd recommend sending your PS3 in for repairs or buy a newer one (or wait for PS4)

  • He said it only happins with this game why would anything be wrong with his ps3 there are a lot of people having this issue some are freezing in game play some are freezing at main menu. Like I said before just pray ea comes out with a patch and play another game for a wile. Your ps3 is most likly fine people have been telling me mine is brockin every time one game freezis a lot and I have had it for 3 years still runs good.
  • I have played this game on 4 different ps3 consoles. 60gb original , 2 320gb slim, and one 500 gb white model. Used 3 - YES THREE different DS3 discs and logged in as 4 different users.  Everyone of the PS3's and every disc and user name will freeze at various points. Check out the thread "report your bugs here" for deadspace three and go tell all those people that there consoles are broken or about to die. Everyone else does NOT play fine. I can play DS2 , mass effect 3 , need for speed MW , and countless other games on all my consoles (8 of them) no other game in my inventory will freeze like deadspace 3.

    I don't know if you tried this yet it's a slim chance it will help but you could go to safe mode a restore systom files. If that dont work you can restore the database. To get to safe mode you have to hold the power button down till you hear 2 seperet beeps. Then hold the button till you hear another beep continue holding till you heir 2 beeps together then relese your finger. Number 3 will not delete your data unless it can't be restored. Number 4 will set all setings back to factory settings you might have to re orginize you music. If none of that works chose number 6 to restore ps3 systom back up data because you will loss it all. It worth a try if you want to do it. If it still is a issue you are going to have to wate for a patch if ea is going to give us another one.
  • click on the Dead Space 3 words at the top of the post. check out the hundreds of people having the same issue since the game came out in Feb. Still no fix. Don't let them tell you its your PS3 console. I HAVE PLAYED THIS ON 4 DIFFEENT CONSOLES AND TRIED 3 DIFFERENT BRAND NEW OUT OF THE BOX DISCS. all with different log in names They even tried to tell me it was my internet connection causing the problem even though I play mass effect 3, need for speed, dead space 2 , burnout paradise, call of duty games, all online without a freeze. AND  -  I tried disconnecting from the internet, modem and roouter shut down and unplugged. as disconnected as can be (they tried to tell me that even though i select disable internet connection from the xmb that I am still partially connected)- and the game will still freeze. 

    By the way - I have done the safe mode restore data base thing , cleared cache files, cookies and all that stuff. One of the consoles that freezes is a brand new, out of the box 500gb white model that only has 2 game installed on it . Burnout Paradise and dead space 3. Please do not give people the same line that it is ALWAYS the ps3 consoles fault and that it has nothing to do with the new progress saving and co-op drop in / out system and restart at last uninteruppted point save system. This game freexes at auto save points, in the middle of elevator rides just as the words "objective added" tries to appear and in general scene transition points in the game.

  • Thanks for the replies guys I don't think it's a problem with my ps3 cause I play games that have come out recently and have been out for years and the only other game I have problems with is battlefield 3 but I know everybody has the same problems as me with that game but even if it was my ps3 it's just pointless to buy a new console when the ps4 is so close to release
