With the survival-horror genre suffering from a severe lack of fear-factor, this article asks whether the mainstream horror game should be declared officially dead.
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.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
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.
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.
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.

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!"
I don't think so just not many devs cater 2 the genre
Definitely not dead, just not done correct
There needs to be an "Insidious" type of scary game. A game that makes you jump right out your seat.
well amnesia was a start,
I love the horror games he mentions, Eternal darkness and system shock 2 were amazing and not very well known to the maintream
also The Cradle Level in Thief is the most scared I have ever been in a video game before (yes even more than Amnesia)
but as an out and out horror game? I reckon Silent Hill 2 is the best of the lot, because it wasnt about shock scares at all, it also evoked this endless sense of dread and it was also a very polished game with a gripping, emotionally driven story
Anyone see the remake of Dawn of the Dead? The day starts off like any other day, then the the couple wakes up to hell on Earth. I wish a game would come out and start off like that. Where you are just going through the motions (initial training and how to's) then BAM! all hell breaks loose and you have to think on your feet. Most games nowadays just don't get the horror piece right.
