EA Offering Dead Space 2 for Battlefield 3 Origin Download

If you were going to pre order BF3 from EA's origins, make sure you do so soon, and you can get a free copy of Dead Space 2!

Blacktric4606d ago (Edited 4606d ago )

Nice attempt to get people to buy stuff from Origin. Still not going to work though.

MoXxXi4606d ago

Hotlinking from 4Chan.... -facepalm-

Ser4606d ago

Nah, this is a good deal. A free game just for purchasing BF3 on Origin? Why not? Dead Space 2 isn't even a year old yet.

Heartnet4605d ago

Yeh however people will turn down a decent free game just so they dont have to use sumin other than steam...

blind faith.. its no different than buying sumin from Asda and then going to Tesco cause of a better deal and / or is cheaper.

BattleTorn4606d ago

Idk what Dead Space 2 is selling for on Steam, or Origin. But that seems like a nice way to sweeten the deal for PC gamers.

But then again, people are bound to complain over free stuff.

Kingscorpion19814606d ago

Does this mean they won't be making dead space 3?

MoXxXi4606d ago

EA Shut Visceral Down. Its pretty apparent that there will be no DS3. Which is unfortunate.

joydestroy4606d ago (Edited 4606d ago )

i didn't know this! that's very unfortunate.

edit: it doesn't look like they were shut down and DS3 is listed as them working on it...

thank you @CernaML

CernaML4606d ago

Uh no.. They shut down the Australian division. Visceral Redwood Shores, USA developed Dead Space.

Kingscorpion19814606d ago (Edited 4606d ago )

But I thought they had like 2 Visceral studious here in America! CernaML is right!

scram4606d ago

incorrect, they shut down one branch of Visceral (Australian), the games were made by the Redwood Shores branch, therefore it has zero effect.

MoXxXi4606d ago

Hes right, I read the article wrong. Visceral Austraila is shutting down. However, the article also goes on to say that this MAY hinder the production of DS3. So theres a chance it may not come out.

Blacktric4606d ago

Pff... Stop trying so hard to make yourself look right. Dead Space 3 will be released and closing down of one "branch office" will not affect anything. The development studio is still alive and kicking.

solar4606d ago

still no buy from Origin for me.

Cosmit4606d ago

Ok. so I pre ordered from origin a couple weeks ago. Will I get the free game or will I have to cancel and pre order again for this deal? And when do they give the free codes out? When BF is out? Can't really research since I'm at work

overlorduk4605d ago (Edited 4605d ago )

I'm in the same boat, I pre-ordered MW3 a couple of weeks ago and didn't get the option to download DS2 free so I would also like to know what's going on?

If I knew this was going to happen I would have ordered MW3 from somewhere else for less.

Heartnet4605d ago

Ya dont get it for pre ording mw3 ;) Hehe Although i suspect you typed that like that purposely :)

overlorduk4605d ago

Oops! no, I didn't type MW3 on purpose lol

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.

XiNatsuDragnel15d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel14d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia15d 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.

MeteorPanda15d ago

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

Yi-Long15d 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.

Tacoboto15d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long14d 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.

Kornholic14d ago (Edited 14d 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."

Aaroncls735d ago

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

hombreacabado35d ago

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

mariopasta35d ago

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

Terry_B35d 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! 😥

SonyStyled137d 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

DaReapa137d 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.

Inverno137d 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.

1nsomniac137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

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

anast137d ago

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

Xenial137d 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!
