IGN writes: "Ever dreamt of blowing your friends arms off? Well, now it's time to live it in Dead Space 2. If you're one of those people who thought the first Dead Space just didn't have enough multiplayer options (see: any), EA and Visceral have your number with this sequel. Sure, the single-player storyline still follows our engineer-turned-Necromorph-mur derer Isaac Clarke as he picks up what's left of his sanity after tangling with all sorts of horrors on the USG Ishimura, but the multiplayer portion of the game is a beast all its own".
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!
Loved the fact that this game's MP is soo much like L4D (w/ better graphics too :D)
The MP may have just sealed the deal for me. (as the fact that it has Dead Space extraction included for free wasn't a deal-sealer)
