Dead Space 2: Better than the First?

So with only a few reasons not to play the game there's no reason why people shouldn't either buy Dead Space 1 or at least play the Dead Space 2 demo. "But if I play Dead Space 2 I won't know what's going on in the story and i'll be lost". EA and Visceral are way ahead of you guys on this, at the start of the Dead Space 2 demo there is a video giving you all the information you need to know (without many spoilers) to be caught up (or at least mostly caught up).

This looks like it may be pretty good. I will have to check the first game out.

WhittO5609d ago

I finally got the 1st Dead Space for Xmas, still need to play it.

Is it a long game? Looking forward to playin it over the weekend, I hate playing scary games too haha but had to buy it since everyone says its so good!

Plus the second 1 is out really soon so I don't have to wait years for a sequel!

DBLDeathDealer5609d ago

Let me know what you think once you play a bit. I may go pick this up.

colonel1795609d ago

It's a great game, and it's not long. You are going to enjoy it, and even when you will get scared several times, you won't want to stop playing.

OT.
Judging by the demo, Dead Space 2 will be way better than 1.

BiggCMan5609d ago

Wow you guys have missed a great game. I bought it randomly one day without knowing a thing about it because I wanted a new game to play, and I was extremely happy with it as soon as I put it in. I got the platinum as well because it was so fun. Anyone who hasn't played it yet needs to pick it up. By now you can get it really cheap.

acere5609d ago

yea is kind long for a weekend, and i play the whole game during the day time bcuz is kind scary.

Gambit075609d ago

Dead Space is one of my fav games this gen, although I didn't see a single difference in the Dead Space 2 demo, still it's a day one buy.

Judging from the Dead Space 2 demo I think that Visceral Games listened to their fans and really improved the game, in many areas. I think the second game improved greatly over the first one. Them necromorphs (adds word to dictionary) are definitely tougher, and a lot more challenging. I cannot wait do dismember more necromorphs in Dead Space 2!

DBLDeathDealer5605d ago

Sweet, thanks everyone for the replies. I will go pick this thing up today and play it this week.

xxxAnubisxxx5609d ago

Yes... not sure how deep it will be, though

FrankMcSpank5609d ago

the beta was bad bro. if it has a horde mode then the MP will be sweet but the creatures vs soldiers team deathmatch stuff was piss poor.

campaign on the other hand looks amazing. plus getting extraction with the Ps3 is a win too

Hmm, i dont know seeing as how you cant really judge a games full content based on its demo. When you compare a game and its sequal you should compare both full releases. I will wait for my personal judgement.

TheDivine5609d ago

I loved dead space for a while until certain parts ruined it. I will go back and try to finish it cause id like to give the sequal a shot.

Gambit075609d ago

Which part? I didn't encounter any issues.

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.

XiNatsuDragnel759d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel757d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia758d 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.

MeteorPanda758d ago

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

Yi-Long758d 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.

Tacoboto758d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long757d 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.

Kornholic757d ago (Edited 757d 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."

Aaroncls7778d ago

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

hombreacabado778d ago

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

mariopasta778d ago

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

Terry_B778d 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! 😥

SonyStyled881d 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

DaReapa881d 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.

Inverno880d 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.

1nsomniac880d ago (Edited 880d ago )

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

anast880d ago

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

Xenial880d 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!
