Oh damn. Imminent announcement!

WildArmed5979d ago

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

Mr Face Creamer5979d ago

I heard people in my town killed themselves over this.

jesuisankit5979d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5979d ago (Edited 5979d 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.

Arsenic135979d ago

All these comments but how about approving the story?

lightningsax5979d ago (Edited 5979d 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.

hikayu175979d 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.

HolyOrangeCows5979d ago

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

ShinFuYux5979d 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.

JayX6665979d 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

Redlogic5979d 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.

ThanatosDMC5979d ago (Edited 5979d 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.

Redlogic5979d 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.

monkey6025979d 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!

cooperdnizzle5979d ago

Arsenic135979d 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.

Knightofelemia479d ago (Edited 479d 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.

goken479d 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.

Pyrofire95479d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn479d ago

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

__y2jb479d 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.

DefenderOfDoom2479d ago

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

Inverno478d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex478d 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.

CrimsonWing69727d 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? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay726d ago (Edited 726d 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?

CrimsonWing69726d ago (Edited 726d 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.

Cacabunga726d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw726d 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.

Smellsforfree726d ago

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

gold_drake726d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC726d 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?

Eonjay726d ago

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

Retroman726d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay726d ago (Edited 726d ago )

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

Retroman725d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack
