Oh damn. Imminent announcement!

WildArmed5922d ago

aw i was expecting some sort of hint about DS2 :(

Mr Face Creamer5922d ago

I heard people in my town killed themselves over this.

jesuisankit5922d ago

"the nightmare is over but it will not end.." well its expected.. just give me a trailer already :D..

ThanatosDMC5922d ago (Edited 5922d ago )

I hope we go to the colony! It's the place where the "infection" was longest. I better see carpet, lights, etc. Yahtzee's review of Dead Space was funny.

Arsenic135922d ago

All these comments but how about approving the story?

lightningsax5922d ago (Edited 5922d ago )

I certainly hope it's leading to Dead Space 2 being announced. It would be a nice message to the world that EA hasn't given up on its more daring franchises despite their latest business moves.

hikayu175922d ago

It was a success . 1.5 mil was the last time I check . The review were quite good . For a new ip, that's a home run .

Its rumored to be announced at the VGAs.

HolyOrangeCows5922d ago

Yep, I'm fairly sure they're just warming us up for the announcement.

ShinFuYux5922d ago

When you go to some psychologist and he's going to have a better understanding on how you perceive things; they usually show you these ink blobs and they ask you what you see.

In relevance to this; Issac, the man who was pretty much controlled by the marker throughout the game by using his wife's image, he saw her alive even though she was dead.

So, I'm just going to theorize here and just say, maybe issac comes back to earth or something and he starts seeing these necromorphs even though "that nightmare" was over.

JayX6665922d ago

i think the second game will have a lot of issac's fragile mental state coming into play, is he really seing the necromorphs or mad? etc. Lots of potentials scares right there

Redlogic5922d ago

that would be a sick premise...maybe hes in some sort of medical solitary confinement and he has to escape since the necromorphs took over. I like the idea of being on Earth, so many possibilities. I for one, LOVED the first Dead Space so I'm very excited for the sequel.

ThanatosDMC5922d ago (Edited 5922d ago )

I think they just show the inkblots to make fun of their patients... i know i would.

Necromorphs in earth would decimate the population FAST. Couldnt it go to a space colony? Though a Dead Space FPS game could be created if a planet does become subject to necromorphs. 4 player co-op!

FEAR1 was awesome because of the random sudden crap you see while playing the game. Dead Space 1 had a lot of random noises and shadows.

Redlogic5922d ago

it doesn't have to be the entire US (or other county), it can just be in a medical complex where Isaac has to stop it from getting out while trying to survive.

monkey6025922d ago

ShinFuYux: Man that is a fantastic idea. One I'd love to try too. Think they'd have to change the name though? Dead Space is one of my favourite games and the only one in a long time to give my survival horror love some much needed attention.

"Dead Space FPS" No! Just No!

cooperdnizzle5922d ago

Arsenic135922d ago

Use the translator guide...DERP

I managed to translate "but". The rest was just to messy 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.

Knightofelemia423d ago (Edited 423d 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.

goken422d 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.

Pyrofire95422d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn422d ago

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

__y2jb422d 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.

DefenderOfDoom2422d ago

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

Inverno422d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex422d 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.

CrimsonWing69670d 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? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay670d ago (Edited 670d 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?

CrimsonWing69670d ago (Edited 670d 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.

Cacabunga670d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw670d 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.

Smellsforfree669d ago

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

gold_drake670d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC670d 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?

Eonjay670d ago

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

Retroman670d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay670d ago (Edited 670d ago )

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

Retroman669d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack
