"From our hands-on time with Dead Space 2 during gamescom this week, it’s highly apparent that the team at Visceral Games have thought long and hard about the kind of experience that the team wishes to deliver and have worked hard on making that game come to life, while going for a decidedly cinematic feel.
The original Dead Space was a fantastic title and executed the pace and experience of an action-oriented survival horror game excellently. By the looks of things, Dead Space 2 will do everything the original did well, only this time the developers are bringing a few new ideas to the table to turn the dial from ‘fantastic’ to ‘unbelievable.’"
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!
I'm actually replaying the first one right now and its really fun. I'm on the plant part. Its a great game, but it did have just a couple issues. After the first few chapters the objectives and gameplay got to be slightly repetitive, a couple chapters just weren't needed like the second medical wing chapter, and a lot of the environments looked extremely similar.
However, the sound design is probably one of the best in all video games. Even when you know all the spots where the necromorphs will come out it still freaks you out because of the sound. Overall, I can't wait for Dead Space 2 because it looks like its going to take an uncharted 2 approach and have more cinematic moments which I'm all for. However, I hope that doesn't detract from the horror.
No doubt!
