EA: Dead Space 2 PC "under consideration"

VG247: Despite leaving Dead Space 2's PC SKU off its FY '11 schedule earlier this week, then admitting the version was "not on the plan" last night, mouse-based horror fans shouldn't lose heart: EA's just told us it's "under consideration".

Umbrella Corp5957d ago (Edited 5957d ago )

Hey the first was a success maybe well see more people playing especially since it has online multiplayer this time around.

tdrules5957d ago

about as much as the first one.
little.

multipayer5957d ago

True, most games impose too many roadblocks for modders. Unless you're valve and epic supporting them, chances are they will be few and far between.

FantasyStar5957d ago

Save it EA. If your Console Port is as enthralling as the first Dead Space: don't bother.

CARRIERHASARRIVED5957d ago

I liked Dead Space, it was decent. A lot like RE4 but plopped in an Aliens movie, but it was still enjoyable.. I tend to stay away from PC TPS's though. They lose a lot of that hefty feel you get when using a mouse/kb. It's more sales for EA though, I say go for it!

I want to see more new things from EA, I think they're headed in a good direction.

Letros5957d ago

if its more action than horror like they claimed. Good horror games are hard to come by today.

Jamescagney5957d ago

Would be a shame, it was great on pc. But at least I'll have my ps3 to play it on, even if it's a gimped version of what could have been.

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.

XiNatsuDragnel783d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel782d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia783d 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.

MeteorPanda783d ago

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

Yi-Long783d 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.

Tacoboto783d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long782d 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.

Kornholic782d ago (Edited 782d 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."

Aaroncls7803d ago

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

hombreacabado803d ago

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

mariopasta803d ago

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

Terry_B803d 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! 😥

SonyStyled905d 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

DaReapa905d 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.

Inverno905d 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.

1nsomniac905d ago (Edited 905d ago )

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

anast905d ago

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

Xenial905d 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!
