UPDATE 8.15pm: EA has responded to a report claiming developer EA Motive had been in the early stages of production on a Dead Space 2 remake before the project was cancelled due to “lacklustre sales” of the first game.
In a statement provided to IGN, the publisher wrote, “We don’t normally comment on rumours but there is no validity to this story.” However, journalist Jeff Grubb - who originally broke the Dead Space 2 remake story - is sticking to his guns. Grubb shot back on social media, writing, “I give you my permission to believe EA if you want, but whenever a company says ‘that isn’t true’ but they don’t specify which part of the story they are talking about, well… yeah.”
While EA’s statement certainly looks like a blanket denial, Grubb remained adament: “Dead Space 2 was definitely being planned. It had a code name. And they aren’t making it now.”
I didn’t play the remake cause I didn’t care and the xbox 360 version is running just fine for me with 60fps on the modern Xbox but did the original performed somehow worse on other platforms?
The original PC version does not run out of the box on my modern windows PC, so thats why I was happy to hear about the remake. I Did not see this was posted on an Xbox community, otherwise I would have specified that part!
Ah okay didn’t know that. Back in the days I primarily played on Xbox and PlayStation so I still have my Xbox 360 copy of Dead Space and never played it on another system.
