Joystiq writes: "If an Electronic Arts job listing is any indication, Dead Space 2 is set to receive a gameplay feature that none of us saw coming -- online multiplayer support. The listing, which calls for the aid of a "Senior Online Level Designer," mentions that the new hire should "be able to work collaboratively with Creative Director and Online Producer to create extremely fun, satisfying and polished multiplayer levels." Those who desire to create droll, unsatisfying and shoddy multiplayer levels should probably look for employment elsewhere."
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!
They'll have to speed up movement of the character to make the multiplayer less clunky.
The feeling of being alone in a dark, gritty, horrific environment is what made Dead Space a phenomenal game. Multiplayer would be very awkward for a game like DS. But as long as the sequel has a strong, engaging single player mode, I'll be content and happy.
needs 2 b different like demons souls.
Dead Space is one game that definitely doesn't need any type of multiplayer. I'll but the game without hesitation, but don't see why all these developers feel the urge to tack on some form of online play. Some games should just stay single player, this being one of them.
says the childish gamer:
"we damand trophies and multiplayer!"
says the mature sensible gamer who has been gaming longer than the current gen:
"single player games rule, I just hope it's as good as the first"
Moral of the story: anyway demanding multiplayer in a fantastic single player oriented game needs to GTFO of a dead space 2 article and go give mw2 some more undeserved praise.
I'm more excited in the fact that Dead Space 2 developement is clearly underway. Too long a wait my friends, far too long.
