The only thing that could sabotage Dead Space is if the guys that made Event Horizon sued, and even then they'd just settle out of court for $50 and a cheeseburger.

It's probably the name of the animated movie

Baltis5025d ago

I liked the concept of Dead Space but playing through it became tedious and monotonious around chapter 4. In fact, I haven't beat chapter 4 I don't believe. I gave up on it. Strange too, I actually liked the game but I get bored of games so easily and then buy another one and start it and get bored and then so on and so on. I have so many Ps3 games and Psn games I haven't even touched past level 2.

Hell, I have unopened Ps2 and Ps1 games. Lots of them. Games just don't hold my interest for very long and if they do they have to be really, really good. Deathspank is the one truly great game this year. I beat it to 100% completion within a week. (I don't game much btw). It was captivating. The last game I beat before it was probably Heavy Rain. Since then I've started tons of games and went back to tons of games but just can't seem to find the gumption to push on in them.

God of War 3 - Stopped after the very 1st level.
Killzone 2 - Stopped after the Bridge level. It got so tedious. It's like a little desert town/villa/shanty looking place.
Red Dead Redemption - Stopped after the 2nd Gravedigger mission
Dead Space - Stopped at level 4
Darksiders - Stopped after the 1st area

I can go on and on and on too. Games need to be more fun and offer up more. I've got the money to burn, believe me, but it's still throwing money away when they jut sit there. I often times give them to my nephew or my brother in law as gifts.

Alos885025d ago

I can sympathise, I felt like that with Crackdown; nothing really wrong with the game but it felt like I was a puppet for the commentor guy.

Parapraxis5025d ago

Baltis is clearly an amateur gamer.
You say you stopped playing these games because they weren't fun enough, I say you stopped because they were too hard for you.

NY_Pride5025d ago

@Baltis

Maybe gaming isn't your thing.

bjornbear5025d ago

wow someone seems to have ADD

ebgeer5025d ago

Sometimes this happens with me, but I always go back at some point to complete them--other times the games really just arent that great...but Deadspace?? If you got bored of Deadspace, then maybe gaming isn't your calling.

how about they wait to see if the 2nd game is successful before they keep milking the everloving sh*t out of it?

1 good game and a wii title that bombed so far and theres already books, movies, figures, comics, etc.

tigertron5025d ago

because Dead Space fans such as myself like to have more. Obviously I don't want this franchise being milked to hell, but this is EA and its not surprising that they wish to make money off it. I liked the motion comics and Dead Space Downfall is pretty awesome.

lil boy blue5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

If this is for wii dont make it on rail nobody on wanted on rails in the first place. that why I'm Indifferent to PS3 fan getting it. Nobody wanted the game because we expect a scary atmosphere fps.So dont get lazy and do it right please. Then inform capcom (zing).Remember if you wouldn't do it to ps3 and 360 dont do it to us.

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.

XiNatsuDragnel24d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel23d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia24d 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.

MeteorPanda24d ago

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

Yi-Long24d 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.

Tacoboto23d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long23d 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.

Kornholic23d ago (Edited 23d 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."

Aaroncls744d ago

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

hombreacabado43d ago

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

mariopasta43d ago

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

Terry_B43d ago

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

EA Hopes to Use Generative AI to Drive Monetization and Make Development 30% More Efficient

Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.

thorstein59d ago

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga58d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo58d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken59d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN58d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199258d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies58d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde58d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai59d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken59d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Eonjay58d ago

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
