Is Dead Space 2 Scary?

Hell Descent: Dead Space 2 just released, and many gamers are already telling of their horrific experiences. Visceral once stated that they though Dead Space 1 was too scary, and that was part of the title being overlooked and selling not all too well. Dead Space 2 aims to be scarier, as well as more action packed. But is it actually scarier? Is it scary at all? This all depends on what makes your fear factor tick.

kinda,

obviously not as much as 'The Cradle level' from Thief : DS, Amnesia or Silent Hill

and DS2 doesnt have the barren living breathing ship in the Ishimura

but its still does its best with what it has and regardless its an amazing game

AntoineDcoolette5534d ago

Something I've noticed about Dead Space 2 compared to DS1. Its far less claustrophobic being removed from the narrow corridors of a deep space vessel, in general it doesn't seem to be as dark, being in a populated urban center with people dying around you takes away the sense of isolation, and most everything so far feels 'cleaner' and less 'grimy'. I'm about 3 hours into the game and feel far less tense and have been freaked out way less times whereas same time investment into DS1 I was constantly tense and freaked out about a dozen and a half times.

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.

XiNatsuDragnel713d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel712d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia713d 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.

MeteorPanda713d ago

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

Yi-Long713d 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.

Tacoboto713d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long712d 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.

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."

Aaroncls7733d ago

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

hombreacabado733d ago

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

mariopasta733d ago

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

Terry_B733d 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! 😥

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

DaReapa835d 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.

Inverno835d 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.

1nsomniac835d ago (Edited 835d ago )

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

anast835d ago

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

Xenial835d 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!
