In 2008 EA and Visceral Games released Dead Space in the midst of EA’s promotion of new IP’s on the market. The result was one of the best survival horror games to hit the gaming landscape. The game brought new gameplay elements such as “strategic dismemberment” and used horror conventions superbly to give the player the thrill of their lives.
With the sequel hitting store shelves this week we recently got hands-on with the final version of Dead Space
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.
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.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
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.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
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!
I can't say ds set any standards writer; I mean don't get me wrong, I played that game till I was black and blue and enjoyed getting all trophies for it ... but I believe that it took everything all those other games did and push the envelope forward.
great game i must say.
Off topic a little:
Does anyone know if you buy dead space 2 on amazon will you still receive dead space extraction?
