Dead Space will without a doubt be getting a sequel. Will it be in 2009? Also will it be getting the multi-player treatment that EA CEO John Riccitiello mentioned today?
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.
Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.
Gee...
Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.
Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.
When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.
But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.
Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?
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! 😥
I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April
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.
I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.
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!
Cool, just bought dead space, haven't opened it because i have finals.
Will open it after a few days. I bought it for $30. I hope its good.
Every time I go to rent Dead Space, its gone. I've been trying to get my hands on it from day one. GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!!!
please...
I've always thought that if I made a horror game, it would be set in an abyssal lab. There'd be a moment where you'd have to walk on the abyssal plain to another station (monorail would be broken). All you'd see would be the lights of the other station far away, and you'd be in total darkness. And suddenly the people walking with you are starting to disappear, you start running and you see an arm floating in the water right in front of you! Ha!
anyway...

And maybe it could be a prequel and that's where they found the original Marker on Earth!

Dead Space was a sleeper hit this year and I really loved the game. I wouldn't be surprised if a Dead Space sequel did come out in 2009 because EA is becoming pretty notable for their yearly releases like Madden and Need For Speed.
I just hope that EA doesn't rush the developers just to get the game out.
*Spoiler*
During the end of the game when Isacc was attacked by that woman that turned into one of those creatures, I think that there's a chance that he could have survived because it didn't show Isacc actually getting killed, so anything is possible.
If EA wants Dead Space to sell more than the first, then Multiplayer would be good, but I don't think that Dead Space needs multiplayer. I would prefer that the developers just concentrate on making the best Single Player experience possible and not get too distracted by the multiplayer. If the next Dead Space game has multiplayer, it will probably be shorter and I don't want that because I spent around 16 hours with the Single Player in Dead Space during my first playthrough and I want the sequel to be just as long.
Damn EA is just trying to rack up more money without putting much effort and time into their sequels.
