You read that right. The game hasn't even been out for a couple of weeks yet and they're already talking about sequels. EA Redwood Shores Studio GM Glenn Schofield came out in an interview with Variety about the title's performance and it's upcoming sequel. Well, he brings it up in passing. He is, of course, discussing a possible Dead Space film...
"We're talking with movie studios right now. We have been all along. The difference with this is we need to go in and say, 'This is not a $10 million movie.' Sure somebody could make it, but that's not what we are looking for. It's an expensive movie. By doing this now, we could have a movie that bridges the gap between the two games." --Variety
The quote comes from a full interview discussing the independent licensed titles that are now hitting the market. They also go into and Army of Two sequel.
Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.
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.
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.
Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2
The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.
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.
I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .
All playable from October 1.
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.
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? 🤷♂️
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?
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.
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.
This confuses me since I've seen so many gory Japanese movies and anime. For example, Battle Royale.
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?
Yes I think you may be on to something. The violence is gory but I wouldn't call it gruesome.
Does EA Japan actually make games at all? Or are they just a regional publisher?
If they do a second game, they really have to renew the feeling of the game, i don't know what it is, but when i play it i don't get scared.
I got really scared from Silent hill 2 and the game (Clockwork) or something to ps1, but this game was more: o no.. not those enemies again, well up with my trusty "slow down spell" and my cutter and lets have some fun.
I think the problem most of the "scary" games are doing now is that its to: Jump out and rush towards you and scream and try to kill you in every way possible, and before im done with you,,, throw 5 more things at the player so he get really scared... hmmm thats not scaring that is just a lot to do and a lot of shooting imo .
THen they can have how mush sound effects they want, or how mutch screams they want, it WONT make it scary (imo) tho.
Make it like Sh2: i mean , make it that you feel all alone in the dark, no weapons (why the hell.. did they place a chaingun in DS?)
Make it only cutter in that case, make it more like you feel you are being watched, and not attacked,(yet) and IF you get attacked , ONE at the time and make it scary, like they sneak up at YOU, or you SEE them coming in the corridor, and you CANT go the other way cause the airlocks is closed, so you have to go towards that creepy thing limping towards you in the darkness.
And the sound,, well it was great in DS but it was 2 much sound (can it be to mush? ) imo, yes it can, there was to mutsh vents sound, scary music effect sound , take all that *** out, make the SILENCE scary. Make it , so silent that when you hear something you hear it and it make your blood turn to ice, i mean, now its like: YOu walk true a corridor, and there is like 5 sounds going on, the vents, the floor, the beep from doors, the heart beat, and then you place the sound of a monster up on that? Scary? No... Def? Yes....
And then you think about this: You walk true a totaly silent corridor, you hear the heartbeat and breath,
(Still keep that one, love the feeling in vacuum)and yea i do understand its monsters on the ship, but ffs they don't have to brake every vent in the hole game. So ,, you go there in the corridor, and suddenly you hear the door close behind you,, you turn around, nothing there except silence, you turn around and see the shadow of something in the light behind a corner limping toward you, scratching the floor so it hurts in your ears, not because its loud, but because its like placing nails on a board in school, and then you see it,, something crawling in the dark towards you, the only thing you have is a cutter and you have to go around it ,, but there is no way around,, something like that...
NOT!: o something coming: well its ok ,, i just take my big as chaingun or big as maxed out cutter and bye bye f** Fa**!
Thats IMO tho.
That sounds great.But hopefully EA doesn't rush it like they do with other franchises
