They cited poor sales? Wasn’t the remake of the first one a hit? Even though it was competing with a bunch of great new shit at the time?

I remember it having initial difficulties due to optimization problems on most platforms. It’s almost like what they’re really saying is “We see how much time and effort it would take to remake it properly, and we aren’t willing to give that to developers because SHAREHOLDERS.” An excuse which an executive from Larian recently commented on and provided some useful insight towards.

Meh. I really disliked Dead Space 2. The time altering ability made the game too easy so I didn’t put any points into it. Then I get to that one regen boss where you have to use it to open a flippin’ door before it smashes you. Really dumb to have an optional ability that becomes mandatory for like one part of the game (and to open a dang door at that). I never got past that door, and I never completed the game.

The first Dead Space is awesome though, but I’m not sad there won’t be a third fourth(???). Never would have bought it because the ability tomfoolery in the second.

speedstriker858,

Correct me if I’m wrong, but steam has a dead space 3 listed as released in 2013.

3 was so bad this guy blocked it from their memory

loops,

Goes to show how much I paid attention to it after the DS2 lol.

CharlesReed,

Are you referring to the statis? All of the Dead Space game have that feature, even the first one.

loops,

SERIOUSLY?! I guess I didn’t use it at all in the first one too and completely forgot about it. Unless it wasn’t in the original game? I seriously don’t remember anything like that in the first one. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh well, not that it matters. Hate it just the same.

Swallowtail,

Stasis was in the first game, yes. You were required to use it several times to be able to pass through a few malfunctioning doors. You get it for free early in the game and don’t have to upgrade it at all to open the doors, preventing the game from soft locking itself.

loops,

Ahh I remember now. Thanks.

I disliked DS2 as well. All those stupid QTEs and cut scenes made it a slog. It just wasn’t fun or scary

Yeah, but the writing was on the wall when it came to Xbox Game Pass a few months later. If Microsoft deal was better than burning its sales, then that was it.

Also, there was some other rumors that the sequel wasn’t green lit immediately since the sales of the first game didn’t meet EA expectations. Who knows it that can be attributed to missing Halloween and holidays.

I think Dead Space 2 remake will never come. Motive is working on the next BF and the Iron Man game, that look like safer investments than a sequel of a game that failed commercially (in their books).

gaael, do gaming w Blizzard Makes Big Changes as ‘Overwatch 2’ Struggles

So if I read this correctly, big changes means doubling down on breaking the pve promise and (finally!) decoupling the available characters pool from mtx.

More microtransactions? More battle passes?

SkyezOpen, do gaming w Blizzard Makes Big Changes as ‘Overwatch 2’ Struggles

Big changes like not ruining their game franchises?

No? Oh well.

The article is mostly a recap and does not talk too much about what changes are done. It is explaining why the game and Blizzard in general struggles.

rgb3x3, do gaming w Nintendo’s Next Switch Coming This Year With LCD, Omdia Says

People are literally only asking for the same console, a few refinements, and with better performing internals.

The form factor is excellent, if a bit flimsy. But games like TOTK and whatever next 3D Mario game comes out deserve to have better graphical fidelity than what the current switch can put out. I stopped playing TOTK because I just kept getting framerate drops.

Please give the Switch 2 more powerful internals!

This is just terrible. I love Deus Ex and was hoping to see a new game in the next 5 years.

When I watched Embracer hoovering up all those studios, I knew they'd end up burning everything to the ground.

How's that infinite growth treating you, you fucking dumbasses?

DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited ) do gaming w Embracer Group Cancels ‘Deus Ex’ Video Game

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

FUCKING F U C K !!

I did NOT ask for this.

heatiskillingme,

I know people like the originals more than the newer ones, but I really enjoyed those too, I really love Adam Jensen and all the stereotypes on him, and Mankind Divided ended in a huge cliffhanger. I guess I'll never know how it ends =/

DoucheBagMcSwag,

My PS4 copy of Mankind Divided is still wrapped. I refuse to have blue balls on the cliffhanger
