Dead space 2 possible multiplayer

Just seen the following over at the xbox360 achievements website.

''

If a recent job listing from EA over on popular business networking site, LinkedIn, is anything to go by, the next installment of the popular Dead Space franchise is set to receive multiplayer.

The job listing states that EA and Visceral Games are currently looking for a Senior Online Level Designer on the Dead Space franchise who must "own the level design for the online game, be able to work collaboratively with Creative Director and Online Producer to create extremely fun, satisfying and polished multiplayer levels."

How EA plan to deliver the multiplayer remains to be seen, but in a game that relies on dismemberment as its main single player mechanic, I can't see it being an easy task. Maybe some sort of Gears of War-esque horde could work, but as for anything else, we're remaining skeptical.''

You can click the source, the end of the article lead to the Joystiq website for even more proof. Thoughts? So far, if its confirmed, it leave me the same way Bioshock 2 left me when they announced multiplayer. ~_~

good find

Lovely,,,another franchise going down the typical multiplayer sells rubbish, I shant be buying it if the games main play incentive is the multiplayer, dead space is one of those games about the single player experience adding mutiplayer might run the risk of turning it into another ruined franchise

They should worry more about the single player campaign than how to make multiplayer work. I really don't care nor want multiplayer in Dead Space. RoslindaleOne

agree'd idk why every dev now thinks in order to have a good title it must have multiplayer, That's so frustrating.

cough cough bioshock

im looking at youuuuu

Hopefully it's just co-op but even then I doubt I would use it.

I hope they dont even go that far, a horror game where you have someone to back you up if anything life threatning goes off is not especially scarey

Actually while playing the first game I thought it had the potential for a great multiplayer. Co-op would take away from the campaign's intensity but if they made a competetive mulitplayer with one team playing as engineers and the other playing as the special necromorphs it would be awesome. Kind of like Left 4 Dead's versus mode with a resident evil 4 camera angle IN SPACE. Idk if that's what they're going for here but that would be awesome.

This could be good news! It makes sense and I could easily see multiplayer making it into the game. Ad I'd love it! A co-op campaign would be amazing as well. And if the multiplayer was similar to Gears' in the way it combines cooperitive play with deathmatch style and no respawns it could be the best multiplayer on the 360! Given how much I love Dead Space and Gears I can easily say this.

I really hope they keep it completely single player. One of the scary parts of the game is the isolation. If there is two players I think it would just ruin it!

Same.

The game would probly be much better if they concentrated more on single player and not multiplayer..

I saw an comic book strip spoof thingy.
It makes a good point, and thats that mulriplayer would take away from the atmosphere of Dead Space and it wouldnt be scary, unless of course were not talking co-op.
If were talking Death Match, and stuff like that, it could be an interesting Idea but it would have to be done really well.

I don't want a Dead Space MP. It would take away from the loneliness of the campaign knowing that you can go online and play with other people in competitive MP. I liked how alone it was in Dead Space and for some reason I feel the MP would ruin that.

when i first heard multiplayer i actually started thinking more of a survival type mode with multiple friends (similar to horde and firefight) i didnt really think competitive because it would really ruin dead space for me but a mere survival mode would be a LOT better
