Liam Pritchard of Brash Games writes "And for the umpteenth time, Bethan, my long suffering girlfriend, once again vetoed my request for a surround sound system. Please understand, Bethan has nothing in particular against superior sound quality, but she did stress, and I believe this is verbatim, “I won’t have that racket booming through the flat while I’m trying to sleep” – Fair play I suppose, her reasoning was both sound and logical……that’s exactly what would happen".
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.
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.
No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"
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.
Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.
Gee...
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.
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?
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."
Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection
thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.

I agree with this, my turtle beach px5 headset has paid for itself through sound whoring, now i feel like im completely disconnected from my environment without them. I can still play, just not nearly as well.
Plus my wife also no longer bit*hes and moans about hearing bullets all around her.
The top must haves for console/pc gaming are:
1. HDTV
2. Headphones
3. something to sit on (doesn't matter if its a bucket)
- you gotta HDTV and Headphones you're ready to roll son!
agree, a headset cost less & sounds better than most sound systems.
Is it because they are much cheaper than a good amp with home cinema speaker setup?
I don't get it.
I bought the x41 a couple of years ago for just these reasons. My wife would constantly complain about the gun noises in games. I have a decent surround system too but when I moved to a new game room there was just no good place to put the speakers. I am now looking into getting the new turtle beach ones with blue tooth once my home renovation are done. I just wish someone would come up with a way to play split screen MP with two headsets and separate audio because with the x41 you can plug in a wired headset to go with the wireless ones but you get both audios from both players so you always hear footsteps and such from the other playing with you.
