Kotaku Australia: Dead Space remains the defining horror title on this generation of consoles – leading the way with a believable universe and an incredible sense of place – but what makes it such a terrifying game to play? And what methods do Visceral Games employ to keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire game? We asked Dead Space 2 Producer Shereif Fattouh to help us understand.
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!
Immersion, Sound Effects, Story and Atmosphere. Not cheap scares like a zombie suddenly pops out of a vent.
Elevators.
I never know WHAT'S going to happen in elevators when I play Dead Space (2) xD
I'll say the only games that got to me were Fatal Frame, Alien vs Predator 2 for pc, Condemned, and Thief 3. The atmosphere of those games scared the crap outta me lol. I refused to play Fatal Frame at night.. screw that lol. AvP2 is really old now, but playing as the marine was down right scary. Well as for Condemned...... All I have to say is the locker scene. Even though the entire game isn't scary there was one level from Thief 3 called "The Cradle"... terrifying for its time. Check these games out on youtube.. scary stuff for its time.
the plot it the source of horror
And no one mention Amnesia The Dark Descent, top scariest game so far, more than Dead Space 2.
