Will this game have a "firefight" or "horde" type mode?

I'm still bummed this was only for the PS3. It was very unfortunate getting a code for a closed beta on a system I don't have. :(
That background for the menus reminds me of the RE5 menu background.
Multiplayer actually looks pretty fun. O.O

I love the beta so far, it maintains a "Dead Space" vibe throughout, especially the sound design:
BLAAAAARRGH!!!!*slice*AGGGGGGGH!!!!*squish*SCREEEECH *unpleasant noises*
...moving on. The forum for the Beta players has a lot of changes they listed for the final product based on player feedback, ask me if you guys want to know anything.

Great to see Joystiq doing more video content.

Aside from the whole play button on the picture sneakiness, much agreed.
Sidenote: Why do they do that? I know its been brought up, but has any clear answer been put out there? Aside from the obvious gains from ads via user clicks, its rather silly.
Also, it was bad enough they played ads after the video, which i usually muted while i was reading the comments, but now you cant even turn the volume down which makes me click away from the page to avoid hearing how much money i could have saved on my last vacation.

Is the framerate at 60fps as was originally reported?

Am I the only person who thinks this looks like a terrible knockoff of the terrible AvP?

Look at his picture, of course he's lonely! Don't rub it in.

I don't see playing as necromorphs being very long lived. In the beginning, sure, it's different, but soon enough, you'll want to be playing again as a human again. So then when it's 10:1 people wanting to play as humans... problem.

Looks like it needs some work, but thanks for the video!!

Is this a selling point for anyone here?
I was going to be Dead Space just for the single player. Multiplayer in a game like this feels kinda forced.
Personally, I'm not excited at all about this part of the game. It might surprise me though.

Well then don't play the multiplayer portion.
Uncharted didn't "NEED" a multiplayer mode, and people were saying the same thing you're saying now about that. But the multiplayer in Uncharted 2 is rather good. Same thing about Assassins creed.
It's not like you're being forced to even acknowledge the multiplayer portion. If you feel that strongly about it then just play the single player and call it a day.

GETTING ... I was going to be getting Dead Space ...
My apologies.

Eh I love Dead Space 2 and all, but I can't help but feel they are going the Resident Evil route. Sacrificing the survival aspect for action to reach a wider audience. I can't blame them though, I'd do the same. More money in it.

Is the menu screen taken from the opening credits to the first spiderman movie?

I'm in the beta and... it's not that great. Kinda interesting and unique feeling for the first hour, but it kinda runs thin.

thx...it's ok. Enslaved is coming soon in the mail...MOH is right around the corner. I haven't even started Dead Rising 2 yet either.
Typically for these beta sign-ups, I get all excited, try the product, and feel disappointed about how badly it sucks.

Love DS but I sure as hell wont be touching the MP.

They need to increase the marine respawn time so that necromorphs actually have a chance at the end for example.
Then the necromorphs couldve aimed for the marines THEN the bomb but when the marines respawn so fast theres no point.

Wish I could get in on this, should've preordered Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I think both these games multiplayers are surprisingly refreshing.

I really wish they would stick to SP only on some games instead of tacking on this MP.

this just isn't working for me... i hate to say it... the beta dried up real quick.

will this game have co-op? Why does so many games focus on Multiplayer but not co-op.
