It seems that during the course of gaming, various trends come and go, much like everything nowadays. Whether they are visual styles, aesthetics, themes, mechanics or gameplay styles, many publishers attempt to incorporate these current trends into their games and franchises, with mixed results.

Dead Space 3 sees protagonist Isaac Clarke trying to get away from what he's had to experience from in the previous two games. He couldn't hide for too long however as he discovered that his ex-girlfriend Ellie was dragged into a mission to destroy yet another marker.

On a city street at the start of Dead Space 3, there's a poster for a film called Tools Of Terror. It features a man in a tuxedo pulling a James Bond pose, but instead of a pistol he's holding a wrench.

It's completely acceptable, and almost expected for a long running franchise to change its focus from time to time. You either evolve and introduced new elements or become stale and lose your core audience.
