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?
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.

Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
That's sweet, I've been thinking about building a modest pc to play some oldies
Man, I can't wait for 2011. Rage is gunna be sick.
@RememberThe57- I agree. The MOH looks awesome. But I think its being ignored because its pretty much a 60 dollar BC2 mod. If u already have BC2 like me, it doesn't really warrant a purchase. Either way..I believe DICE is the king of modern warfare shooters multiplayerwise.
EDIT: Yeah, Infamous 2 is my most anticipated PS3 exclusive.
I really feel like it will be the best shooter of the year, yet I feel like the media is completely ignoring it. Give Medal of Honor some love damn it!
@Hall: Thanks :)
w000t I don't even know what to expect from that game.
THEY FRICKEN LIED ABOUT 2010 BEING THE BEST YEAR IN GAMING...
ALL OF THE MOST AWESOME GAMES ARE PUSHED TO 2011...
Aiyaiyaiyaiyaiyaiyai!
-End statement
KZ3, inFamous2, Motorstorm Apocalypse, Mortal Kombat, Twisted Metal and Gears 3 are the games that I'm looking forward to next year. Can't wait.
