Dead Space 2 demo coming before Christmas?

Dead Space 2's Executive Producer Steve Papoutsis has suggested that a demo of Visceral's upcoming space survival horror could land before Christmas.

[blizzard_cool]

Would be glad if it were true and I think it could be. The demo from the first game sold me on the whole package (even thou mostm people say that the demo doesn't do the game justice).

[Croash]

Ah yes, I'll go with the "demo didn't do justice" feeling.

I liked playing it but it gave the impression that the game was a frenetic shooter as its sole purpose was to show off the "Tactical Dismembering" aspect of the game.
Of course you'd check the graphics, see the ambiance, the way the gameplay works, but it was short lived and wasn't the best moment of the game to use as a demo.

They should have used Chapter 2's Medical Deck.

I just hope that Dead Space 2's demo will really show what this sequel has to offer that wasn't in the first game, like at least 2 different parts of the game, one with Anti Grav and the other one in the church to try out the javelin?

And I agree with xYLeinen, they must make a SP demo.

i played the first one and it was an un-scary, boring, unoriginal game. the monsters are slow, repetitive, and insultingly easy to deal with. it's one of the worst "survival horror" games i've ever played.

and the multiplayer in the second game is god awful. i got into the beta, played it for an hour, then immediately went back to left 4 dead which is, in every way, a better game.

here's the most honest, accurate, hilarious review of the game i've seen.

[Croash]

Well the game's ambiance was made to make you feel uneasy, to make you feel weak as you'd never know where the monsters would come from and when they would actually show up.

The monsters weren't always slow as they could run towards you and come from any angle.

Repetitive? The game sure wasn't. It made us explore different places of the ship and had different type of missions to offer. Now I can understand that shooting the asteroids was something boring, but the part outside of the Ishimura without oxygen was brilliantly made, and so was the Leviathan boss fight.

And you're saying that monsters were insultingly easy to deal with? Really? REALLY?!
Play the game in Impossible, not in Easy, which will make you stop wasting ammo and shoot accurately at those freaking monsters who will not die in a single blast.
Oh and only with the Plasma Cutter of course, because you're going to need a lot of Health packs and even more Plasma Ammo.
And I guess dying in 3 hits is something that doesn't make the game easier, suddenly 8 monsters in a single room won't be insultingly easy to deal with.

This game came out of nowhere and showed everyone that Survival Horror had still a lot to offer, it isn't like Silent Hill, it isn't like Fatal Frame, it isn't like Resident Evil, it isn't like Forbidden Siren, it is like Dead Space.

[visualb]

eh? what on earth does dead space have to do with left 4 dead?

FPS zombie arcade vs 3rd Sci-fi horror....

spydiggity, you are a *****

Im not even going to bother try to explain why your justification for the dislike of dead space is complete *********

instead I'll write this:

you missed the point.

and above all, if you take yahtzee's reviews as honest and accurate, well then you don't know how to take yahtzee's reviews since he always exaggerates

I love them too, but I watch them for entertainment and just because he judges a game harshly it doesn't mean it automatically becomes the truth =|

[deafwing]

it would be nice christmas present I think

[poopface1]

I played it on the hardest mode and my strategies made it easier, but it was much more challenging.

I loved the need to conserve your ammo and having to do each area perfectly of else your dead.

[pork_chop_express]

The first deadspace was one of the games of this generation.

[xYLeinen]

As long it's a SP demo. Even if Dead Space 2 comes with MP it will be all about the SP on my part. They could simply give us their E3 presentation as a demo imo.

[DarkBlood]

lol man the ending on the demo of dead space scared the shit out of me :P

[Substance101]

Lol still havent played dead space, its been in my que for a while now. Probably gonna play this title soon.

[Spydiggity]

do yourself a favor and play something else, it's pure crap.

[Substance101]

The deal was just too good to pass up on. 9usd on the last steam discount. Cant go wrong at that price.

[Spydiggity]

you were swindled, my friend. you should have just spent 7.50 and got orange box.

[reynod]

While Orange box for 7.5usd is a great deal. Dead Space at 9usd is awesome as well.

[saladthieves]

That's a pretty darn good deal! Dead Space in my opinion is one of my favorite games...the SP demo sold me off...I had to buy it. It's just an awesome game IMO. I can't wait to see what the 2nd one brings.

[visualb]

spydiggity did deadspace devs come into your house and do something horrible to your family?

you seem to hate deadspace more than you hate yourself =O

ignore the only dead space troll (why would you ever troll deadspace is beyond me =P )

check the game out. its great fun and its got an awesome vibe

it isn't scary, but then again, no gave has been scary since Silent Hill 2 so, just get it for the game design its solid and entertaining and its different to all the other sci-fi shooters out there =)

[Spydiggity]

i'm not allowed to just dislike a game that sucks? my opinion is different than the mouth breathers that probably just got done playing call of duty while watching twilight and harry potter, so i'm a troll?

sorry man, not EVERYONE has a dumbed down impression of what is fun and original. i know most do, but that's not me. dead space isn't fun, isn't interesting, and isn't unique and it most certainly does NOT have an "awesome vibe" (it has a vibe i've seen about a dozen times before in games (and movies) that have done it WAY BETTER). and i already said that so i shouldn't have to justify my view. and just cuz i don't like some piece of crap that you do doesn't mean i didn't play it. gamers really struggle with that concept...it shouldn't have to be said, but apparently it does.

and in response to your previous comment. just because yahtzee is funny and entertaining does not mean his reviews lose credibility. just because he doesn't use a moronic number system doesn't mean he loses credibility. he might use a lot of metaphors to emphasize his perspective, but his reviews are still honest opinions...unlike most reviews which are based more on who the sponsors are. everything he said about deadspace was perfectly accurate and reflects almost exactly how i feel about that braindead game.

[DarkBlood]

coming from a huge fan of resident evil series for a long time even this is even more scary then resident evil 5 in the fear department i actually didnt want to progress down the hall when the lights were off in dead space, i just cant remember the particular part though

[saladthieves]

The part where the dark splicers(which are tougher to take down) are running at you like crazy dudes and your health bar is really low and you're breathing heavily while you try to shoot your plasma cutter only to discover that there is a clicking sound....NO AMO.

[im-12-years-old]

Anything is more scary than resident evil 5

[Dylantalon1]

it would be silly if this game doesn't have move support. it would be silly also if mass effect 2 doesn't support the move.

[AwesomeJizz]

It would be silly if you keep talking

[Spydiggity]

alright, i'll admit it (saying something i've never said on n4g cuz everyone here is a fanboy retard)... your comment is hilarious.

bubble+ ...first one of those i've given out in about a year.

[Quagmire]

Umm...what?

Dead Space worked fine with DualShock3, so will DS2, DS Extraction will have move and DualShock3 integration, and why the hell bring Mass Effect 2 into this?

[pork_chop_express]

Dylan is spot on, you guys will soon realise move offers alot to games like deadspace.

[tigertron]

I'm hoping for a demo because I want to play DS2 asap! It would certainly make my Christmas. ^_^

[Greek God]

After i played the demo i was like : meh boring..
im glad my friends told me to buy it afterwards ^^

but i think i wont try demo number 2 i want the full game to be fresh :)

[Masterchef2007]

Cant wait to play it on the PS3.

[Shuklar]

I just hope this doesn't turn out to be another mediocre sequel. Getting tired of those.

[cemelc]

Kinda offtpic, but does anyone knows if the standar edition of ps3 comes with dead space extraction or it is just for the CE of the game????.

[visualb]

all PS3 versions come with extraction but you need move to play it =)

[cemelc]

Thx man, bbl+

[belal]

nope you don't need move to play it, you can use your ds3, but it will be much better with move.

[Vegeta9000]

True, you don't need PS Move to play it.

"If you don’t have a PlayStation Move, Dead Space: Extraction will be compatible with the DualShock 3 controller (for you old-school types) and will also feature optional support for the PlayStation Move navigation controller, though it’s not required."

[xino]
