This is where EA's milking pays off. This is my favorite survival horror game this gen and I like the idea of it being treated like the franchise it should be. Hopefully there's a massive upgrade in the next installment and not just the same thing as usual(even though that's not all bad).

penguinhunter6089d ago

I just hope it doesn't turn into madden... :-p

Danja6089d ago

Agreed thias is also my fave survival horror game so far this gen , im glad that Dead Space 2 is in the works already cuz this game seriously kicksa$$

anh_duong6089d ago (Edited 6089d ago )

I heard they are already working on Dead Space 12 for the playstation 6 and xbox 1800 .. the visuals are amazing but you will need to remortgage your house to buy the future 100800p 2000000hz 1billion to 1 contrast ratio 3D smell-ovision super-oled TV to play it in its full glory..

ps6 and xbox 1800 version differences can be clearly noticed using a tunnelling electron microsope..

The Matrix6089d ago

Too scared to finish the first one...

SullyDrake6089d ago

Dead Space is the best horror game on this gen and one of the best of all time, as a horror and Action game. The universe is so big that I see this as a genuine expansion more than milking.

SL1M DADDY6089d ago

I have to say that I am excited about another Dead Space and look forward to another chance to get into the world of horror that this game presents. I do however hope that they do not take it to next level of milking and present to us a RTS in the Dead Space world and then announce a parallel sequel called Dead Space, operation Drop Zone... Outside of that, bring on the sequel.

sonarus6089d ago

I don't expect it to be as good as the first game:(

shovelbum6088d ago

Not too surprising. A movie in capable hands would be amazing. Too bad Guillermo del Toro is busy with the Hobbit for the next four years. Ridley Scott looks available though. Let's just hope it does not end up with a hack like Boll behind the camera.

TrevorPhillips6089d ago

yea know that's what im talking about more dead space hope they will make more XO, atleast some modes such as mercenaries like resident evil

monkey6026089d ago

They did say from the beginning they wanted to make this a trilogy. So I'm not suprised at this news.

Eiffel6089d ago

Tril's are hard work..Hope they don't have to edit the plot in the future just for it to make sense like the Silent Hill games.

Excalibur6089d ago

Dead Space was an awesome game 10/10
Do yourself a favor and go buy it right now!!

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken185d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Pyrofire95185d ago

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn185d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb185d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

DefenderOfDoom2184d ago

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno184d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex184d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

EA Japan Exec Criticises Japanese Ratings Board

An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.

CrimsonWing69433d ago

He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay432d ago (Edited 432d ago )

This is about gore... not about anything sexual. And specifically I think it is about the realistic depiction of gore. Unfortunately I don't know the nuance of the CERO board or how it is relevant their specific culture (as a prohibition on gore may transcend age) so I hesitate to make a statement. Can anyone else provide insight to what kind of gore is considered unacceptable?

CrimsonWing69432d ago (Edited 432d ago )

Yea, I know this is about gore, but thanks for pointing that out.

My point still stands, if a game is essentially rated for a mature audience then why censor for them as if they’re too young to view it? Makes no sense.

To answer your question: Decapitation, dismemberment, like… anything gore. They have been censoring that since CERO was established. Look up RE4 chainsaw decapitation or any MK games that made it there.

Cacabunga432d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw432d ago

Yet, the Oneechanbara series (y'know, the game with half-naked samurai females slicing up zombies to bloody pieces) get released in Japan uncensored.

The CERO ratings board is an equilibrium.

Smellsforfree431d ago

This confuses me since I've seen so many gory Japanese movies and anime. For example, Battle Royale.

gold_drake432d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC432d ago

I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .

In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?

Eonjay432d ago

Yes I think you may be on to something. The violence is gory but I wouldn't call it gruesome.

Retroman432d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay432d ago (Edited 432d ago )

Does EA Japan actually make games at all? Or are they just a regional publisher?

Retroman431d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack
