Give me DS2 with MOVE and it will be day one. Otherwise I'll get it when it drop in price. Dead Space, overall, is the best horror franchise this gen but I'm not that of a fan so I can wait.

blumatt5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

I still think it's awesome we get Extraction for free. lol If you've got both 360 and PS3, you'd be dumb not to get the PS3 version. I'm so glad to see Sony supporting hardcore gamers by implementing the Move in all these hardcore titles like this, Socom 4, LBP2, etc.

Off topic here, but did anyone else hear that you can use a keyboard and mouse to build levels in LBP2?? That's going to make it soooo much easier to build levels! I'm very excited for that game.

M4ndat0ry_1nstall5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

Agreed, Extraction being free with the PS3 version is awesome. It's pretty obvious which version is the better deal.

EA have been showing crazy amounts of love for the PS3. Good job EA, keep it up.

raztad5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

I know about Extraction, but that one is on rails. I'll be getting the game anyway but I feel it is a wasted opportunity because DS2 could make very good use of MOVE.

I hope they fixed Foot Stomp. It was kinda inaccurate in DS1.

ian725772d ago

Would have thought they'd be the same as the first games controls for DS3.

Christopher5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

They are pretty much the exact same for what matters. They moved heal and stasis to different buttons and moved the inventory all to the d-pad and select button, otherwise unchanged.

Missing from the list is Kinesis and Zero-G Jump actions.

IrieMars5772d ago

I noticed that Isaac can now float while in zero gravity, I wonder if the controls will be different then.

Alos885772d ago

Looks like a nice familiar system, I might struggle with it a little since I'm planning on playing both games back to back.

CryofSilence5772d ago (Edited 5772d ago )

They're practically identical except for the increased emphasis on stasis/kinesis and healing/items. It'll just make it easier. You shouldn't have any problems. :)

BeaArthur5772d ago

Can't wait. Can I play extraction with a regular controller or will it require Move?

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.

XiNatsuDragnel761d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel760d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia761d 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.

MeteorPanda760d ago

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

Yi-Long760d 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.

Tacoboto760d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long760d 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.

Kornholic759d ago (Edited 759d 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."

Aaroncls7780d ago

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

hombreacabado780d ago

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

mariopasta780d ago

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

Terry_B780d 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! 😥

SonyStyled883d 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

DaReapa883d 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.

Inverno882d 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.

1nsomniac882d ago (Edited 882d ago )

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

anast882d ago

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

Xenial882d 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!
