7-Bit Arcade and the Dead Space 2 Global Playthrough!

Let’s face it: you’re probably going to be playing Dead Space 2 next week. So why not make an event out of it? The folks over at 7-Bit Arcade and Electronic Arts are attempting to do just that, working together to do a “global playthrough” next week of Dead Space 2.

Good idea, if only I was getting Dead Space 2.

TheStonedSheep4849d ago

Hmmmm . . . interesting; so they get free advertising and we get?

PureDarkness4849d ago

I'm sure it will come back to us. The old "you scratch my back" idea... If not then we will raid them and steal all their money.

7bitarcade4849d ago (Edited 4849d ago )

There is no advertising really, all traffic is going to go to all sites through shared content. When the site is live, it will aggregate all information relating to GlobalPlaythrough.

yeah it is very scratch back idea, and to create a mini podcast network

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.

MeteorPanda17d ago

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

Yi-Long17d 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.

Kornholic16d ago (Edited 16d 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."

Aaroncls737d ago

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

hombreacabado37d ago

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

mariopasta37d ago

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

Terry_B37d 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.

Inverno139d 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.

1nsomniac139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

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

anast139d 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!
