Dead Space 2 - 90 minutes Multiplayer Beta Gameplay

90 minutes Dead Space 2 multiplayer beta gameplay

[SilentNegotiator]

The Beta is okay. It's not very balanced at this point, though...the necromorphs have a CLEAR advantage, sniping barely spawned human opponents with the one type of enemy, running circles around them, a million spawn points....it needs work. Out of the 10-ish games I have played in, I've seen the humans win once.

[Nitrowolf2]

what?
usually most game i have played its human then necro that win
although i do somewhat agree that it is a bit unbalance for spawning, Necro can spawn right away once they die, human have to wait 5 second, but i think the health to kill a necro makes up for that.

[Red_Orange_Juice]

that's exactly how humans shouls feel like, outnumbered and cornered

[visualb]

good, that makes it a lot more "deadspace" like.

remember, the humans are meant to be out numbered and struggling.

it looks great, surely will add a new dynamic to deadspace without taking away from the core experience

[Brklynty1]

Humans CLEARLY outmatch the necros, they need to make them stronger to be on par, even make a class that can idk hold a gun i guess

[Imperator]

I really like the beta. IMO, both sides have their pros and cons and it's the players' skills that decided who wins the match. Sure, the Necros spawn faster and in more numerous places, but the humans have stronger weapons and more health. If the humans stick together like a team should, there should be no problem.

It's not a game where going lone wolf is advised.

[Socrates]

In these videos it looked like the humans wrecked the Necromorphs pretty easily. I think it depends on the skill of the individual players involved.

[rezzah]

The game is balanced, you just suck at killing the necro OR your teammates suck. I laugh when i easily spot a dumb team from the get go because I know we can win IF we work as a team. But when I see the Humans playing smart right of the bat I know that we are going to likely lose.

In the end its about how you play and how good the team work is altogether.

[FunAndGun]

Looks really lame.

Dead Space 2 does not need multiplayer!!

[ATi_Elite]

With the ten trillion FPS being released in the next few months, I don't understand why EA would even bother wasting time making a multi player for a game that is all about the single player experience.

Not every freakin game needs a multi-player.

[redDevil87]

then don't play it. They aren't going to sacrifice the SP for MP.

I don't get why people get so angry about an option in a game when you don't have to use if you don't want to.

[KiRBY3000]

the people workin on the multiplayer part of the game could be workin on more content for the solo experience (which is the core experience of a dead space game). this could result in more areas to visit, a more polished game or even a longer campaign.

the ultimate joke is if they release bits of solo campaign as DLC after release. did you think about that too?

allocating a team to work on MP automatically sacrifice the work they could have done on SP.

[Socrates]

That's what people said about multiplayer in Uncharted 2, and that turned out to be one of my favorite multiplayer games on PS3.

I agree that not every game needs multiplayer. But if the developers have a vision for multiplayer that works for their game then gamers can only benefit.

[vickers500]

I'd rather have multiplayer than 1-2 hours of extra sp gameplay that I'm only going to play once.

[wicko]

Hmm, I don't know, could it be that the Devs actually wanted to implement an MP mode? If you don't like the MP, don't play it. Just don't assume everyone agrees with you.

[redDevil87]

Necromorphs look fuckin freaky!

[trevonn95]

my names TwistyTrev on psn hit me up on the beta

[Wolfie]

i like the beta but humans are overpowered

[rezzah]

The arnt, its just when they atart playing smart then the Necros are less likely to survive. Only when they play smart.

[MGRogue2017]

Dead Space is no longer just Single-player.. Pretty cool! :D

[United4Life]

The Spitter Doesn"t spawn right away for me? Is it a Bug? I can spawn fine with the other 2 but if i select that Spitter one i always have to wait the 5 seconds without getting spawned.

Cannot comment about the balance , as whichever side has me always loses :D

[divideby0]

played the demo for over 2 hrs and honestly got bored

must play as a team to be effective

[cjflora]

2 hours is a long time to be bored. I usually turn off games I find mildly entertaining before 2 hours.

[Mr Patriot]

looks like a pedo .....

[Eiffel]

Looks pretty sweet actually.

[MidnytRain]

Wow, I doubt most people will sit through a 90 minute gameplay video, but to those who will, knock yourselves out, I guess. On another note, it seems more publishers than ever are pushing for multiplayer. We'll just have to see how all this turns out.

[Mr Tretton]

For those complaining that 'DS2 doesn't need multiplayer! waa waa waa', this actually looks different and interesting. Pull your heads out of your culos.

anyway, the guy that made the video, thanks for making it, but...nonetheless, we really didn't need you commentating, and spending 12-13 mintues yapping and loading sh*t up in the beginning. You aren't that important, douche.

[Matthew94]

i likes da look

humans trapped in futuristic house
necros siege the sh*t out of it
fun for all the family

[Omar91]

i think it blows. i have the beta and am not liking it so far.

[TheBand1t]

It's pretty sweet, if rough around the edges. But hey, that's what a beta is for.
