Dead Space 2 multiplayer to be revealed soon

Rely on Horror states: "After being hit with that amazing sequence demoed at EA’s Gamescom conference, now it’s time for an update to Dead Space 2′s official site. Among the new things added to the site is a video where Steve Papoutsis, executive producer of the game, teases the multiplayer mode and states that a full reveal will be coming soon. My money is still on a Necromorph vs. humans type ordeal. It was once stated how we’d be able to tear off limbs with friends so…But who knows, obviously we’re all going to learn exactly what it consists of soon. More info on Dead Space 2 as it comes."

Dead Space 2 FAGOTY - Freaking Awesome Game of The Year :D

xc7x5767d ago

that tag looked weird,should just use Awesome Game of The Year

MysticStrummer5767d ago

I'm interested in this game for the single player aspect, and that's it.

Excalibur5767d ago

I'm getting sick of the SP game suffering (hopefully DS2 won't) for a crappy tacked MP.

Dead Space 2 doesn't need MP.

Imperator5767d ago

UC2 didn't need multiplayer yet it was one great addition. As long as the team focuses and does things right (instead of just tacking it on), I think it has potential. Perhaps a horde-like mode where you and a couple of friends survive waves of enemies. You never know, it could turn out to be awesome.

PS3Freak5767d ago

As long as the Single player doesn't suffer, I'm fine with it.

dgroundwater5767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

That's the problem though. Single player will always suffer in some form when multiplayer is added. Whether it's time and money spent putting it together, extensive playtesting, or simple disk space, a multiplayer mode will hinder the developers ability to craft the best single player they can.

AngryFork5767d ago

This is definitely going to be a "me too" multiplayer like Bioshock 2. People will play it for 2 weeks then switch back to MW2 or whatever else people play now. I really don't get why dev's even bother wasting time/resources on such a feature that's going to barely be used.

First they make Dead Space 2 way more action oriented than the first, then multiplayer too? And probably multiplayer trophies. I'm most likely not going to get it. I want a real survival horror feel, if I wanted Resident Evil 5 i'd play that. Just because this game is in the dark doesn't mean it'll be scary.

They need to show more videos convincing people it's scarier than the first, rather then explosions everywhere. Silent Hill should be the game to beat for this genre, not Mass Effect.

Jaces5767d ago

Tacked on multiplayer for games that don't even need it in the first place is becoming common these days.

The ONLY time you'll see me playing multiplayer on Dead Space 2 is for trophies, that's it and that's the only reason I suffered to reach level 40 in Bio2.

The only type of online I support is something like what UC2 and R2 offered, online co-op missions seperate from the campaign.

Imagine being the victim of kenisis XO!!!

RedDead5767d ago

Multi makes games less scary/intense imo so I would prefare not to have any co-op for the campaign. Some kind of horde mode or maybe a separate multi campaign based around action instead of horror might work?

Malebaria5767d ago

I can only see some type of cooperative mode working with Dead Space,not so much competitive. As long as it´s not interfering with the SP it´s cool.

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_lee96d 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

lodossrage130d ago (Edited 130d 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.

thorstein130d ago

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

TheColbertinator130d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1130d ago

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

ZwVw130d 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.
