With the success of Dead Space, EA and Visceral Games knew they had a hit franchise on their hands, so began to expand on the universe. 2011 saw the release of Dead Space 2, which increased the action while subtly shifting the focus of horror from the physical to the psychological.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
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.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
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!
EA Motive choosing to release its upcoming Iron Man game before the Dead Space 2 Remake is a wise decision for the developer's future.
The Dead Space remake did a great job of breathing life into the original game, but Dead Space 2 doesn't need the same treatment.
It is but I still want one to line up with the DS Remake
I just hope they can maybe turn the over the top action down a bit and dial up the horror with some changes here and there.
Although if they want to do a remixed remake of Dead Space Extraction with us seeing the downfall of the Ishimura in real time then I wouldn't mind that coming first.
I never got into DS2 or 3 like I did DS1. I’m glad they remade DS1. I would probably buy a DS2 remake but that same excitement isn’t there in terms of pure nostalgia.
