Forbidden_Darkness4954d ago

Signed up for it! I can't wait, hopefully i get invited, Dead Space 2 looks awesome!

SilentNegotiator4954d ago (Edited 4954d ago )

I signed up as well.

Fingers crossed...

ColJessup4954d ago

I loved the first game as well, but I don't know about multiplayer. Maybe I should have a look at the beta and see what they've done. I dunno. Survival horror games are kinda meant to be played alone. Unless I can play multiplayer as a beastie and run around the roofs and stuff like an Alien while people try to shoot off my limbs. That could have some potential.

bobcostus4954d ago

It's really fun playing as the necromorphs, but no one uses mics so playing as the humans really sucks. It's hard.

Agent-864953d ago

I got an invite yesterday from EA and I didn't sign up for it. I think I got it since I bought the original Dead Space directly from EA Store a few months back: they had a sale for $10 with free shipping, so I couldn't pass it up. Going to download and install it tomorrow.

dericb114953d ago

I got mines from Gamecrazy on release with no pre-order so I think its more to do with playing the first one. But out the blue I have a beta code. The one map is cool but would love to see at least one more.

Vegeta90004954d ago (Edited 4954d ago )

No thanks. I'll pass on this AvP clone.

Keith Olbermann4954d ago

Your afraid that trying it might take up too much of your oh so precious time??

ReservoirDog3164954d ago

Yeah, I hope to go through life without opening a facebook. Same for twitter.

I don't care much for DS so looks like I'll live to see another day without a facebook.

radphil4953d ago (Edited 4953d ago )

Eh, I'll say it right now, and I know I'll get disagrees, but to me Facebook is just cancer. Too many people have too much drama by having that site reveal too much information.

Not to mention you have to pander to companies that use the site to get anything in return from them, if at that.

DJKGBYF4954d ago (Edited 4954d ago )

Then what is this closed beta thing I got in my email? And since I don't have a PS3, if someone wants it pm me.

edit - gave it to Ivan Drago IV

CrAnKiTuP_014954d ago (Edited 4954d ago )

Me! Please PM me it!
I can't send messages right now for some reason, but I called it! lol

DJKGBYF4954d ago

Sorry man, Ivan Drago IV sent me a pm before you posted.

Drebin884954d ago

Damn I would love to have a go at this but I live in the uk.

ThanatosDMC4954d ago

I hope i get it. I've been watching the vids on youtube and most people cant seem to do the grapple attack as a Necromorph and i hate that they refer to them as "zombies" which they are not.

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.

XiNatsuDragnel7d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel6d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia6d ago

Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.

MeteorPanda6d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long6d ago

I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.

Tacoboto6d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long5d ago

Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.

Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.

When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.

But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.

Kornholic5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?

13 Years Later, Dead Space 2 Is Still A Perfect Video Game

Nameer from eXputer: "Dead Space 2 is a sequel that delivers such a feast that by the time you're done, you're not only full but also satisfied."

Aaroncls726d ago

It was amazing. All 3 DS games game solid for me, but 2 was special.

hombreacabado26d ago

i can do without ds3 but the first two are solid.

mariopasta26d ago

Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection

Terry_B26d ago

thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled129d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa129d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno128d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac128d ago (Edited 128d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast128d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial128d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
