Rumor: Dead Space 2 Timed Exclusive?

Al Zamora of DualShockers writes, "After doing some serious thinking and sitting through the EA press conference today, the DualShockers team may have stumbled upon something in regards to Dead Space 2, it may be a announced tomorrow as a PS3 timed exclsuive. You may ask how we came up with this idea so here goes the logic train, hop aboard and take a ride.

During the EA press conference the president of Visceral had this to say in reference to the Dead Space 2 hands on demo:"

I don't know...It's hard to predict what EA's management will do. Nonetheless, as long as I get this title, I don't care whether it goes to the 360 or the Wii.

RatFuker5812d ago

i do not know if it will be a timed exclusive to ps3, or 360. all i know is that the ps3 is getting the better version. with exclusive stuff.

Conloles5812d ago

I doubt Sony would pay money for a timed exclusive so for that reason its just commercially stupid for EA to do that.

WildArmed5812d ago (Edited 5812d ago )

I doubt they'd go exclusive. (even timed)
It's like saying Bioshock 3 will be exclusive.
Doesn't make sense.

Probably get some exclusive DLC though? You never know.. that's the new trend of this gen =/
Or Move support.. esp. games with tank system work really well w/ move (like Resident evil 5)

oh btw i couldn't help but laugh my ass off when i read this:

"After doing some serious thinking.. the DualShockers team may have stumbled upon something.."

lol 'serious thinking'

Dragun6195812d ago (Edited 5812d ago )

Timed Exclusive for PS3? No

Exclusive DLC for PS3 or Move support? Possibly

It would beat Microsoft's timed Exclusive COD Maps DLCs for three years deal.

morganfell5812d ago (Edited 5812d ago )

When does the bus leave for Roswell and Area 51. Criminy, could people stop with the idiotic theories already? Dualshockers has done this before so it isn't unexpected but at least try to find something that is within the solid realm of an indicator. Is this their first trip to E3?

I do not believe anyone here supports Sony more than I but at least use something within the realm of reasoning for these outlandish deductions. It amazes me how mystified, then upset and and miffed they become and commence firing the disagree gun when someone calls them on such articles.

If they really understood what it takes to obtain an exclusive perhaps they wouldn't rush to such a ridiculous conclusion.

poopface15811d ago

I like there reasons, "because it shows a ps3 boxart" LOL.

PS Move + Dead Space 2 = EPIC!!!!

colonel1795812d ago

I posted a comment about that earlier today. I actually believe this could be the reason they are showing it tomorrow at Sony´s conference.

The game would work great with Move, since we have already seen SOCOM4.

talltony5812d ago

Yea I said the same thing in another post and I would bet money it will work with move. Just think about twisting ur wrist to shoot off different limbs. So cool.

McMee5812d ago (Edited 5812d ago )

Man I dont know about you guys but I thought EA press conference was the bees knees, easily my favorite of the day I mean DS2, Bstorm, Crysis2, SW:TOR, gunclub, NFS:HP, and MOH all looked fanfreakingtastic, on topic I very much doubt it.

ghostface5812d ago (Edited 5812d ago )

Ubisoft said the same thing last E3 with assassin creed.

sombrero5812d ago

Yeah, definitely not happening.

saint_john_paul_ii5812d ago

not happening. that will just be ridiculous.

what might happen tomorrow is Dead Space 2 with Move support.

SOAD5812d ago

That would work well. Also, MGS Rising + MOVE would work well.

maddhatter6175812d ago

move is the thing that has the best chance of happening hopefully it will be more but regardless i'm sure sony is going to have alot.

bruddahmanmatt5812d ago

I have to agree. It makes perfect sense when you consider that the crew over at Visceral games already has hands on experience with motion controls after the work they did with Extraction. Should be interesting indeed.

rob60215812d ago (Edited 5812d ago )

EA's supposed to be on board with Move support on tiger woods, they better damn well cause I already bought tiger11 for that reason lol.. We could see them on board with the whole EA Sports lineup, as well as crysis /w 3d&move and Dead Space 2, w/3d&move. Deadspace 2 seems to be an obvious good fit for move.

TheBand1t5811d ago

That...would make me buy a Move.

Fuck SOCOM 4 and all that, I wanna play DS2 with a Move.

That game rocked!

On topic...
Using MS tactics? Some of you act as if Sony had been sent by Jesus himeself. Talk about a cult.

I love my PS3 but really dude, really?

Snakefist305812d ago

Cause Sony wants to be honest,loyal and reliable to us gamers.Not Like micrshit always gives huge price like kinectic.

flyingmunky5812d ago

You know when I saw the headline I thought, no not again! But then I saw that the article was about Sony not M$. I have both consoles but I very much want to play it on the ps3. Honestly timed releases for multiplat titles is dumb anyway.

XactGamer5812d ago (Edited 5812d ago )

MS is just doing to Sony what Sony did to Sega, so in a way they are Sony tactics.

eggbert5812d ago

Besides their evidence is severely lacking.

So the boxart shown was PS3 and they are planning on showing more at Sony's conference? Doesn't mean timed exclusivity, but it does show a stronger relationship between EA and Sony I guess.

saint_john_paul_ii5812d ago

the reason of the boxart is to show that the game leads on PS3, and could be, like you said, an advertising partnership with EA.

RememberThe3575812d ago

Plus, we all know Sony wants to flair some nostrils over at MS.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee75d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein110d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator109d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1110d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

ZwVw109d ago

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
