Hell Descent: Dead Space 2 has hit Steam for pre-purchase. Perhaps one of the most tormenting practices know to man is downloading a game, but having it locked until release. You can pre-purchases Dead Space 2 for $59.99. This will also get you 75% off of the original Dead Space. Good deal if we must say so. Go check it out.
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.
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.
No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"
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.
Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.
Gee...
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.
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?
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."
Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection
thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
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
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.
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.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
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!
Does it say anywhere when it launches on Steam? I want to hope it's the same day as the consoles, but it strangely doesn't have a date anywhere.
Yeah kind of weird no release date on steam.
D2D has crysis 2 pre order. but I already ordered on amazon.
EA can go and suck it as far as i'm concerned. 60bucks for Dead Space 2? Get effed.
I think everybody should take note of mine and Xfanboys avatar's and buy Super Meat Boy and the Witcher 2 instead for 60bucks ($15+$45).
loool.... 59.99
In your goddamn dreams EA. As much as I hate to say it, similar pricing on Dragon Age II will probably turn out well for them. Dead Space 2, however, is another story entirely: the first was a pretty poor port and PC players were probably going to be hesitant at 49.99, never mind this.
This goes in the Steam sale category along with Bulletstorm, Crysis 2, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 and anything else EA sets at that foolish price.
