GameXplain: "It took me a while to figure out why I wasn’t really into Dead Space 2. The realization came somewhat as a surprise to me since the game garnered stellar reviews, and I thoroughly enjoyed butchering swarms of zombified aliens in the first Dead Space. At first I thought it was just the pacing and aesthetic that left me feeling unfulfilled, but I came to realize that I also took issue with protagonist Isaac Clarke’s characterization. In the first Dead Space, Isaac went about his business almost matter-of-factly, as he severed countless necromorph limbs in almost complete silence. I didn’t really need Isaac to say anything for me to empathize. In fact, I didn’t want Isaac to say anything. Because really, when you’re all alone on a dark spaceship with murderous freaks around every corner, and your dead girlfriend keeps showing up, are there any words that could possibly suffice?"
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.
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.
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!
Yes, yes he is.
Do yourself a favor and get some help...
actually he didn't talk except for when talked too so thats good at least its like every "horror" game where they scream when the player should be freaked out
and he swore like a sailor if you kept meleeing something after a long while which was hilarious
I liked the silent Isaac in the first game, ruined the mood when he started talking
I just got this game on the STEAM summer camp sale. Played it for 98 minutes according to the STEAM tracker. He has not talked a whole lot so far. (IMO)
