Portable Dead Space 2 In The Works?

Kotaku writes: "We've known for months that sci-fi horror game Dead Space 2 is coming to home consoles and computers early next year, but today publisher Electronic Arts listed two more formats for the game: "handheld" and "mobile."

I think it would be great on the PSP and the 3DS.

NY_Pride5016d ago

Be fantastic on the PSP. Too bad I don't own one but if more titles like this pop up I might consider it.

dizzleK5016d ago (Edited 5016d ago )

ea is determined to beat this franchise into the ground. they're acting like the first game sold 10 million copies. while it was a good game, it was a moderate hit at best and extraction bombed hard. i can't stand "manufactured" franchises. stuff like halo earned its popularity, they didn't pound out figures, comics, movies, books, etc after the first game.

Quagmire5016d ago

Dead Space was a critical hit, yet financial failure. There have been so many positive reviews and gamer approvals of the game, why not make more? Whats wrong with building a franchise? If fans ask for it, EA will deliver. Yes this is a bit unexpected what with the comic, extraction, ignition, books, film? However, i like the franchise, and it has a strong narrative with lots of backstory, but most of all, thew best Horror game this generation, something Capcom failed to deliver with RE5.

jeeves865016d ago

I whole-heartedly agree with this statement. If they keep releasing this kind of stuff the story will soon be dead, uninspired and uninteresting. And that's pretty sad considering DS has a solid story.

hennessey865016d ago

and i regret not buying it day 1 but the demo did not impress me but the game is just stunning i cant wait for number 2 day 1 purchase for me
P.S im on my second play through

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.

XiNatsuDragnel17d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel16d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia17d 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.

MeteorPanda16d ago

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

Yi-Long16d 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.

Tacoboto16d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long16d 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.

Kornholic15d ago (Edited 15d 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."

Aaroncls736d ago

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

hombreacabado36d ago

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

mariopasta36d ago

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

Terry_B36d 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! 😥

SonyStyled139d 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

DaReapa139d 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.

Inverno138d 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.

1nsomniac138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

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

anast138d ago

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

Xenial138d 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!
