It’s a new IP that rocked our socks off. I’m sure they won’t release a crap follow up.

Well that sounds pretty good so far. I agree with bill, the Ishimura itself was a big part of the original game so sticking with an enclosed ‘interior’ space for the sequel makes a lot of sense.

I’m glad to hear the bulk of the action will take place in one location (albeit a bigger one) rather than being smeared across several, Halo-style. For me, the best part of Dead Space was simply the Ishimura itself, the tremendous effort they put into making all its components lock together and add up.

If they did something in the vein of L4D, but slower, it could be interesting – i.e. maybe one man trying to escape a level with others playing monsters, etc.

If they go standard deathmatch, etc. it’ll probably suck. But something neat and true to the SP feel could work pretty well. Also a small group of survivors vs waves of monsters, etc. would work fine to.

I always thought he looked Dutch.

That’s just an idle observation, I’m not trying to tie it in to your meat-head comment.

Just to be clear: I was talking about SP. Sounds like its going to be turned into an all action shoot-up fest with Isaac ‘taking it to the Necromorphs’ and all. I bet they make him a really flat, meat-headed character now that he talks.

Loving the collective synacism towards multiplayer modes. After U2 and the Spec Ops mode in MW2 (both with I thought would be shite) I still have faith.

Oh it could be good, as the bioshock one may be.

I think there is room for single player only titles though or at least an ability to purchase sp & mp independently. That might suit customers more, maybe not It’s a value perception thing. People that don’t like mp will see the sp part as (perhaps) diminished in some respect (diverting of resources) and feel like they are paying for something that’s unnecessary.

I wouldn’t discount it just yet, the quote suggests some sort of counter-op mode, perhaps something akin to L4D‘s Versus.

One player as Isaac, everyone else as Necromorphs… it might not be Bad Company 2, but if it’s an enjoyable mode that keeps a few people from renting or trading in then I’m not going to object to it based on some sort of misguided principle.

I’ve got this growing feeling that everything that made the first game good will be left aside in the sequel…

Another multiplayer shoe-horned in to reduce trade in/second hand sales? In space no one can hear Blerk ‘meh’.
