Nightmare Mode takes a look at Dead Space 2's hardcore difficulty. Hard Core offers players quite a different experience than usual. The cost of failure is not a few rooms’ worth of progress, but rather, entire chapters and multiple hours of gameplay. Similar difficulty modes have appeared in other games, but it’s particularly suited to the survival horror genre. The player is already used to being extra careful about enemy encounters, and the more serious consequences serve to heighten the tension. All this is just fluffy theory until you actually screw up, however.
Then the game changes.
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!
I love deadspace. played the first one many times as did deadspace2. Zealot mode is not hard - you get to keep your upgraded weapons. Blows them away. I will not try hardcore again. waste of lots of time. I don't mind so much having to restart from your last actual save point - but limiting to 3 saves takes the fun away. I thought that is what a GAME is for --fun. hardcore is not fun.
I loved Hardcore mode, it made me really careful and was able to make it all the way without dying once. Dead Space is a great series can't wait for the next one.
Hardcore is a b!tch; you have to have a lot of patience for it. I tried and failed lol.
I never even bothered trying Hardcore mode, I considered it and then realised I found some of the portions of the game frustrating on normal difficulty. Hardcore would definitely have ended with me needing to buy a new controller and tv.
Kudos to anybody who manages to complete it on hardcore though, that is quite a feat.
I completed the game on hardcore and you really just have to have plenty of patience. But actually when you know where all the enemies are coming from and what weapons to use it really was not that bad. Hahahahaha I dont think I would ever go back and do it again, but it was great knowing I was able to complete the game of the hardest difficulty. I think it actually added to the game a bit because I was more than terrified of moving to quickly through a level.
