I hate you EA. (A QQ about Deaspace 2)

So, EA has screwed PC gamers for the last time! First it was DRM, then it was Advertising in games, now the're leaving PC gamers out to dry on the Dead Space sequel. UP YOURS EA!!

They build their entire company on the back of The Sims, a PC game, then do this crap. They're even toying with ushttp://www.tomshardware.com/news/Dead-Space-PC-Game-EA,9638.html.

So, opinions?

LOL, i love it when people say "we made you".....hahahaha

EA are a company with a responsibility to their investors to make as much money as possible, DeadSpace obviously didnt sell very well on PC so why should they throw away development money/time on porting it over if its going to possibly loose them money?

boo hoo, guess pc gamers should have bought the first one

EA has now confirmed to Kotaku that they are reconsidering and may put it on the pc afterall.

It's coming to PC too. lol

I'm guessing it'll show up, at least eventually. Makes no sense for EA not to milk the game for cash in every way possible.

PC Dead Space sold about 40K physical copies in the US, there's no official statement containing the number of digital copies sold. I'm guessing EA didn't see enough revenue coming from PC Dead Space, but the weird thing is they seem to be reconsidering it. Hopefully it does show up on PC.

A part of what probably made a lot of peeps avoid the PC version is its mouse control issues which obviously point to the game having a console focus. While it's very easy to overcome the slow mouse speed, it's a little distressing in combat to have that kind of mouse acceleration which no one has found a solution for yet. What all those companies must realize is that a PC game should feel like a PC game and have it behave just like a PC game. Do stuff like Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. Avoid problematic installations a-la Gears of War, this GFWL crap a-la... Gears of War (that's really such a shame, the gameplay was awesome on PC), avoid atrocious controls (Bionic Commando, anyone?), avoind annoying console interfaces (Lost Planet?) and just make a PC version of a game feel like a PC game.

Meh, dead space is a really repetitive boring game. Those console kiddies can have it!!dan_plus_o

lol what a silly comment

im 27 and have a 360, PS3 and A PC (although mostly for work) and all my friends playing console's too who are all i the late 20's early 30's

how old are you 50?

Encourage as many people as you can to go out and buy it for pc. Due to a price decrease, they won't make as much money and may not change their minds, but it's worth a go.

Personally I cannot believe that people are getting so worked up over this sort of thing. There are more important things in life than whether or not a game comes to your preferred platform.carlosjuero

Yeah, and I'm sure that is the norm for 27 year olds *sarcasm*. Don't fool yourself, consoles are not marketed towards your age group.

True but I would like to dismember my aliens with the precision of my Key Board and Mouse, not some dated analog sticks. I also want it on my cheap 1080P monitor running on max settings at 60 frames per second.

I want Dead Space 2 for PC. I want it NOW!

(although I am well aware of Dead Space 1's rather simple pacing)

If Dead Space didn't sell well on the PC I see no reason why they should release the sequel on the same platform. Don't take it personal, it just wouldn't be logical to release it on the PC.

i mean, you have a flamethrower in space, do i have to say more?Teh_Sockpuppet

No need to take it personal, if I were on one of those executive chairs on EA I would've voted against a PC version of Dead Space 2, even being a PC gamer. I mean, look at the sales.rmfd341
