Is this a sign?
Maybe the surprise exclusive for Xbox at E3.....

annoyedgamer2555d ago

No, its just them adding more old SP games to the list. Still waiting for MW2 though.

morganfell2556d ago

Does anyone know how DS3 runs on the X1?

Kingdomcome2472556d ago (Edited 2556d ago )

I booted up my One S for something other than watching a 4K Blu-ray for the first time in months last night, when I popped in my Dead Space 2 & 3 discs. I was completely satisfied with the performances of both, mind you I only spent 30 or so minutes with each game. From what I can tell, the framerate is absolutely solid on DS3, textures seem a tad sharper, with jaggies apearing to have been reduced slightly, and if my memory serves me correctly from when I last played DS3, there seems to also be a welcome improvement concerning the loading times. I am still halfway trying to hold out hope for a Dead Space reboot with Visceral back at the helm once more, or even just a Dead Space 4. I'm not holding my breath, though. This might just have to do for satiating my Dead Space longing, and assuaging the painful emptiness that I feel. Lol.

Bobafret2556d ago

I feel your pain, I love the DS series. I am kind of hoping Prey fills that scifi horror need but its not quite the same. There is still a lot of story for Dead Space to be told.

morganfell2556d ago

Thanks. That's what I was looking for. I can deal with some jaggies as long as the frames are solid. I never understood nor agreed with the DS3 hate. They also did something with coop in that game that I had never encountered and the devs kept quiet about it so that when it happened we weren't just surprised but a friend and I were genuinely mystified.

Marcello2556d ago

This channel on YT does BC frame tests, they have done DS2 already check back later today for DS3.

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.

XiNatsuDragnel17d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel15d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia16d 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.

MeteorPanda16d ago

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

Yi-Long16d 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.

Tacoboto16d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long15d 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.

Kornholic15d ago (Edited 15d 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."

Aaroncls736d ago

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

hombreacabado36d ago

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

mariopasta36d ago

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

Terry_B36d 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! 😥

SonyStyled139d 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

DaReapa139d 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.

Inverno138d 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.

1nsomniac138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

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

anast138d ago

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

Xenial138d 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!
