Twinfinite lists off the five creepiest albums to play at your video game themed Halloween.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
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.
Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.
Gee...
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.
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?
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Man, I’d love to get a sequel. I wish that’s was this was instead of a remaster, but it’s such a niche title. It won’t sell gamgbusters, unfortunately.
I am not sure what they are looking for sales wise but it can’t be much more than it originally sold if it’s even that much. I’d guess it just needs to sell well enough but who knows what that actually is. I still have the PS3 copy not sure if I’ll buy a remaster or not.
The Alice: Madness Returns Soundtrack is great. Came free with the game and I have listened to it plenty. Very eerie.
I would also like to add Alien: Isolation to that list. Not the music persay, but the general sound design. I've literally woken up in cold sweats remembering the thundering of the alien's foosteps as it runs towards me. Every mechanical noise, every hiss of smoke, every facet of it's sound design is pitch perfect.
I always found Manhunt's soundtrack to be quite scary, gave me chills! :)
