I might buy this game.Looks like a true survival horror game and not just another shooter

King Me6436d ago

A-bit off-topic,but am I the only one that notices Resident Evil isn't a survivor horror game anymore?

TheColbertinator6436d ago

Your not alone.Its too much of a shooter these days.Especially after the co-op gameplay trailers it just looks like just a 2 player frag-athon

Lanoire6436d ago

And dl this for sure. lol

Nice to see some love from EA. EA may be big and may be trash. But they sure know which side has the momentum and which side is gaining power.

Delive6436d ago

If you were Chris Redfield and you HAD to go back into a situation like the ones from previous RE games, wouldn't you go in fully strapped? I do agree though, it's not a Survival horror game any more. More like an Action/Survival/horror. You still try to survive, there is still horror, but there is more action to go with it.

Bnet3436436d ago

I think I might get this for PS3 instead of 360. I'm still undecided though.

Wolf8736436d ago

RE hasn't been survival horror since RE-2 for me, it's just a game with Zombie, but with interesting story and characters.

pavarotti6436d ago

lol. yeah they really love ps3.

momentum?? what with the 360 price cuts and sales increase?

one sony exec mentions sony has the momentum back in june, and all the sony fanboys have been parroting it since. althogh, they've seemed to stop saying it for the last two weeks. i think your the only one to say it lately. momentum lol

dead space is looking ok. does anyone know if the game has co-op or anything on-line at-all?

juuken6436d ago

You're not the only one. I'm still getting RE5 but Resident Evil games don't scare me anymore. o.o

uie4rhig6436d ago

is really starting to remove its name of the Evil empire, and just since recently, they've also started loving the PS3.. i guess a report can change a lot..

HighDefinition6436d ago

Has just changed the tactics they use to scare you, now it`s about the feeling of being overwhelmed and attacked from every angle. It`s just different, I like it.

macalatus6436d ago

@king me,

Agreed. Resident Evil 4 was a little bit more linear than the previous Resident Evil games. Though I personally welcomed as it was less tedious and clunky, it just seemed that it was missing a bit of that survival horror feel. Just a bit.

Back on topic: After watching the new episode of Qore, I decided to drop getting Silent Hill: Homecoming in favor of this game, due to Silent Hill's somewhat unfavorable reviews.

Play with increased toughness and extra inventory slots!
Only on PS3!

Hahaha.

Forbidden_Darkness6436d ago

if you wont be buying Dead space 'til after November 7 or dont know if you'll get it later, than just click on it (before November 7) so it goes into your view download list so you wont have to pay for it.

Stryfeno26436d ago

The PS3 is getting exclusive DLC...Oh wait?!! It is just a suit.

PirateThom6436d ago

The 360 is getting exclusive DLC for GTAIV... oh, it's just vapourware?

See, I can be a troll too. Very easy.

Forbidden_Darkness6436d ago

Yeah and i'd rather have a suit and beable to play it when im actually still going to be playing the game, than wait like 6 plus months for DLC for a game i dont play anymore.

juuken6436d ago

Why don't you sell your PS3 already?
The DLC is better than nothing.

ThatCanadianGuy6436d ago

He doesn't have a PS3 Juuken.His mother needs beer money.She can't afford one for him.

meepmoopmeep6436d ago (Edited 6436d ago )

honestly, i'm not fond of this gen's DLC milking of our wallets,
but what can you do

i've already downloaded the free suit plus the paid for one.

SullyDrake6436d ago

It should be available for free on PSN/XBL, I hate missing out on content like that.

meepmoopmeep6436d ago

crap, there's a pre-order suit?

oh well, i'm sure it'll be up on PSN/Live one day.
i can't get this game day 1 so i'm not too fussy.

LBP, man, LBP first!

:)

Mozilla896436d ago

This one seems free though.

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia516d ago (Edited 516d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken516d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Pyrofire95516d ago

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn516d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb516d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

DefenderOfDoom2516d ago

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno516d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex515d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

EA Japan Exec Criticises Japanese Ratings Board

An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.

CrimsonWing69764d ago

He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay764d ago (Edited 764d ago )

This is about gore... not about anything sexual. And specifically I think it is about the realistic depiction of gore. Unfortunately I don't know the nuance of the CERO board or how it is relevant their specific culture (as a prohibition on gore may transcend age) so I hesitate to make a statement. Can anyone else provide insight to what kind of gore is considered unacceptable?

CrimsonWing69764d ago (Edited 764d ago )

Yea, I know this is about gore, but thanks for pointing that out.

My point still stands, if a game is essentially rated for a mature audience then why censor for them as if they’re too young to view it? Makes no sense.

To answer your question: Decapitation, dismemberment, like… anything gore. They have been censoring that since CERO was established. Look up RE4 chainsaw decapitation or any MK games that made it there.

Cacabunga764d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw763d ago

Yet, the Oneechanbara series (y'know, the game with half-naked samurai females slicing up zombies to bloody pieces) get released in Japan uncensored.

The CERO ratings board is an equilibrium.

Smellsforfree763d ago

This confuses me since I've seen so many gory Japanese movies and anime. For example, Battle Royale.

gold_drake764d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC764d ago

I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .

In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?

Eonjay763d ago

Yes I think you may be on to something. The violence is gory but I wouldn't call it gruesome.

Retroman763d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay763d ago (Edited 763d ago )

Does EA Japan actually make games at all? Or are they just a regional publisher?

Retroman763d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack
