@All of the above:
This is why love Joystiq....I work all day long, get home tired as hell, maybe smoke a little, and check the news. Joystiq's community NEVER fails to deliver little whitty/sometimes stupid/hilarious random conversations that are just pure awesome.
Thanks! haha
PS, That was not sarcasm
PPS, I do not condone drug use...

Looks like L4D's Versus mode. Not a bad thing.

I was thinking that at first but its not AI controlled enemies, it competitive gameplay like L4D.

I think it is a waste. Not every game needs multiplayer. Especially this one.

@KillTheApex I agree. At least on the competitive multiplayer. Co-op survival mode could be awesome though.

I think it ruins what Dead Space is: a stay-on-your-toes horror game.
When you have a bunch of people, it takes away the feeling of being alone and shitting yourself when something jumps out from a corner.
And plus, the multiplayer looks REALLY slow-paced.

@KillTheApex I don't think it will be bad as long as the main focus of the game is campaign. If the main game loses the polish of the first I'll be very disappointed. The first Dead Space was an incredible and freaky game that was soo moody. Oh wow, I hope they don't mess this one up.

Even though we haven't played it yet, this proved to me that not all pretty damn good single player games need tacked-on multiplayer.

Hey look, Dead Space 2....
*walks over to take a look*

Oh.

I wish people would give it a chance. It its good, it's good, and if it isn't, it isn't. Saying you aren't going to buy the game just because they tried multiplayer is just ridiculous.

Looks cool but only 5 maps! That's it! hmm I smell a lot of DLC coming.
Posted: Sep 12th 2010 12:26AM danhil2 said
Why Visceral. why? Not every game needs multiplayer. The first game was/is amazing and it's single player only. Just take the time you would spend on the multiplayer and spend it refining the single player.

Even though it's a tacked on multiplayer, at least it'll add a little extra to the game. just hope they're focusing on the single player above all else though. Although it does really look kinda cool....

Can Dead Space 2 have Multiplayer? Sure. Will I play it? Hell no.

Since you're new to Joystiq I'd like to give you a few tips so you can enjoy your stay.
1) Never say anything other than something along the lines, "OMG" or "Day one purchase" for PS3 exclusives or expect massive downvoting.
2) Never say ANYTHING bad about an Apple product. Here at Joystiq and it's sister site Engadget we pride ourselves on undying love and devotion of everything regurgitated by Steve Jobs.
3) ????????
4) PROFIT!

As long as the Single Player remains AWESOME... this will just become icing on the cake.
Posted: Sep 12th 2010 1:58AM King Johngie the Fourth said
I'm of the opinion that not all good single-player games need multiplayer. Bioshock 2's multiplayer was fun, but it didn't fit well with the game imo.
However, this looks intersting. Kinda like an objective-based CoD Nazi Zombies. I hope it works out....

so its a left for dead kind of multiplayer?

I got pissed when this was a rumor. But now when I've seen this. To be honest. I can't wait to try it out.

This looks really quite cool, I don't see why other commenters are complaining about it. The last franchise that springs to mind that added multiplayer with a sequel was Uncharted, and U2 had ace multi- AND single-player components.
Posted: Sep 12th 2010 1:12PM Mazrael said
@Pigeonreaper yeah, but they also left out multiplayer trophies, so everyone has a chance to platinum the game..
I don't find online competitive multiplayer that balanced/fair.. obviously a level of skill or experience comes into it, but so does living closer to the servers &/or faster internet connection.. and then there's games that match a clan up agains 4/5 randoms for hollow victories..

More like "Dead Space 2 Multiplayer Video is to die 4" amirite?
guys? guys?
seriously though I don't mind multiplayer as long as it doesn't take away from the single-player experience. Which it won't.
