Dead Space 2 doesn't need a remake. It's already perfect

The Dead Space remake did a great job of breathing life into the original game, but Dead Space 2 doesn't need the same treatment.

It is but I still want one to line up with the DS Remake

I just hope they can maybe turn the over the top action down a bit and dial up the horror with some changes here and there.

Although if they want to do a remixed remake of Dead Space Extraction with us seeing the downfall of the Ishimura in real time then I wouldn't mind that coming first.

Harkins1721444d ago

No thanks, if they add anything, add more horror. The blend is already fantastic as is. Do not remove anything actiony from DS2. Ds3 is where they can start redoing most of the game as much as I enjoyed it.

-Foxtrot444d ago

Eh?

“ if they add anything, add more horror”

I literally said this

“ and dial up the horror”

Palitera444d ago

Yeah, but you said it in your 2nd sentence, so it was too much for him to process.

mkis007444d ago (Edited 444d ago )

Only reason i love dead space is i feel like a badass even amongst the horror. I would hate to lose the action combat.

I never beat 2 even though i own both 2 and 3. I got stuck and couldnt figure out where to go. something else came out and i never went back to it.

-Foxtrot444d ago

There’s the action combat and the over the top action combat where Isaac goes from this everyday guy to a space marine super hero

I loved DS2 but there’s small moments in the game which set up the direction they took the series in DS3

If they can reduce this moments, make them a little more grounded they can then change DS3 into something completely different

Harkins1721443d ago

Yes, add more horror but don't take away any of the over the top action. I agreed with part of your sentence and not the other.

@Palitera - I said they don't need to add or remove any of the over the top action. It's the perfect blend. He wanted it toned down. So I said no thanks.

FallenAngel1984445d ago

No game is perfect. There’s always room for improvement

Vengeance1138444d ago

Same could be said for RE4 but here we are.

hotnickles444d ago (Edited 444d ago )

I never got into DS2 or 3 like I did DS1. I’m glad they remade DS1. I would probably buy a DS2 remake but that same excitement isn’t there in terms of pure nostalgia.

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.

XiNatsuDragnel22d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel21d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia22d 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.

MeteorPanda22d ago

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

Yi-Long22d 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.

Tacoboto21d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long21d 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.

Kornholic21d ago (Edited 21d 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."

Aaroncls742d ago

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

hombreacabado41d ago

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

mariopasta41d ago

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

Terry_B41d 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! 😥

SonyStyled144d 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

DaReapa144d 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.

Inverno144d 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.

1nsomniac144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

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

anast143d ago

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

Xenial143d 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!
