Today we’re looking at the bonus materials that come with the Dead Space 2 Collector’s Edition."

they should have packed the movie inside the box

Darkfiber4838d ago

Maybe if the plasma cutter were full sized...that little toy looks ridiculous. What's the point?

Also, 10 bucks says 90% of the people who are going to comment on this will think they gave the game a 5/10. In before lulz.

eggbert4838d ago

if they made the gun bigger, the CE would have cost even more. Same thing they do in every other CE, they reduce the size to cut down costs.

Remember the Halo Helmets? The upcoming KZ3 helmets aren't full-sized either, it's just a novelty item for collectors to put on their shelf to show off.

That being said, I'm planning on buying the PS3 version of this when its drops a bit in price. I spent $60 on LBP2, and planning to spend another $60 on KZ3 in a few weeks and I just don't have the money to throw around at the moment. Good to know I won't be missing too much by not buying the CE though.

Enate4838d ago

I wish I hadn't gotten the CE after I opened it. If I wanted the suit I could of saved 15 bucks and just got a equally nice suit from the Nova bundle dlc. An put the rest on a KZ3 pre order which is what I wish I had done.

Eiffel4838d ago (Edited 4838d ago )

The Collectors Edition isn't too bad, I have the cutter sitting next to Dead Space and Dead Space 2 on my shelf, looks pretty nice together. I wasn't expecting to get much for $80, for what you get it's not bad compared with others which can cost around $130 -$150.

Flexatron4838d ago (Edited 4838d ago )

What they should have done for the collector's edition is include a plasma cutter move gun to use with Dead Space Extraction, that would have been awesome. Oh well, the sharpshooter is coming in February.

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

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.

XiNatsuDragnel15d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel14d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia15d ago

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.

MeteorPanda14d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long14d ago

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.

Tacoboto14d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long14d ago

Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.

Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.

When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.

But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.

Kornholic14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?

13 Years Later, Dead Space 2 Is Still A Perfect Video Game

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."

Aaroncls734d ago

It was amazing. All 3 DS games game solid for me, but 2 was special.

hombreacabado34d ago

i can do without ds3 but the first two are solid.

mariopasta34d ago

Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection

Terry_B34d ago

thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled137d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa137d ago

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.

Inverno137d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac136d ago (Edited 136d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast136d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial136d ago

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!
