Loved Dead Space! Especially the surround sound, it was second to none. Really brought back that horror genre that I have been missing, especially since the last couple of RE games haven't been scary, even though they were good in there own way.

Commenting on the release date strategies: this guy sounds like he has a good grasp of what is going on. I agree that game releases should happen throughout the year. Not just because the "powers-that-be" say it needs to be out at this certain time to try and max out sales. if the game is good IT WILL SELL. QUALITY has to be the constant focus, and the teams making these games need to keep that in mind, video games are a significant form of entertainment, no longer just a side hobby.

Probably my favorite multi-plat this gen. Quality between platforms was equal across the board, and the overall polish/ gameplay were perfect.

Looking forward to the sequel! (And the inevitably conclusion to the trilogy - because we all know that games come in 3s nowadays :) )

miasma6305d ago

I have to agree with you there, the gameplay was flawless.

joydestroy6305d ago

yeahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! day one purchase!

PrimordialSoupBase6305d ago

Goodbye RE5, I'll save my dough for the better game.

Lifendz6305d ago

I plan on buying dead space used to work towards my platinum in that game. Great experience. Loved it.

Eiffel6305d ago

Dead Space was my DooM of 2008. And maybe now my DooM of 2009. That is of course if DooM 4 does not do so well. Ah hell who am I kidding I'll get both regardless.

deeznuts6304d ago

I'm a wuss when it comes to horror movies etc. I'm kinda scared to pop this in (I currently have it from Gamefly). As killzone won't be delivered to me from Gamefly at least until next week, I guess I might as well jump in.

poopface16304d ago (Edited 6304d ago )

just beat it on extreme yesterday and returned it to blockbuster. Ill probably buy #2. This game had the most horrible deaths for a video game protagonist ever. It actually made me not want to die.

If there was a harder difficulty I would have played it again for sure.

im happy and inspired to see EA reform themselves.

A new titan in the survival horror genre

monkfish6305d ago (Edited 6305d ago )

i agree with the earlier comments.....dead space was an amazing game that lasted a lot longer than most through my first playthrough.
and with a decent cinema amp and speakers the sound effects were the best i have heard in a game....if you havent already....buy it ps3 and 360 owners... enjoy.

Scarved6305d ago

Best news ever!! Can't wait!

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

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.

XiNatsuDragnel782d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel781d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia782d ago

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.

MeteorPanda782d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long782d ago

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.

Tacoboto781d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long781d ago

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.

Kornholic781d ago (Edited 781d ago )

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?

13 Years Later, Dead Space 2 Is Still A Perfect Video Game

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."

Aaroncls7802d ago

It was amazing. All 3 DS games game solid for me, but 2 was special.

hombreacabado801d ago

i can do without ds3 but the first two are solid.

mariopasta801d ago

Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection

Terry_B801d ago

thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled904d ago

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

DaReapa904d ago

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.

Inverno904d ago

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.

1nsomniac904d ago (Edited 904d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast904d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial903d ago

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!
