Why do devs feel the need to tack on multiplayer to the sequel of every successful single player game now? (Uncharted 2, Bioshock 2, this) Their resources would be better spent on the core experience of the game.
@Phantom In the case of Bioshock 2, a completely seperate studio is handling the multiplayer, as not to detract from the single player experience.
I can't speak for Uncharted or this, though.

Multiplayer and big open areas? Is the same studio developing this? Did they even play the first game?
Eurghhm no thank you EA. I don't want multiplayer in every game i buy, especially a it will likely be the same stuff as in every other game, but with differently looking players.
Ah, sounds cool. I agree that maybe they should use another, separate studio for multiplayer, but the details so far sound good. Can't wait for more to come out.
Why is everyone hating something that is extra and you don't even have to play it, still I think it will be great
I'm definitely looking forward to Dead Space 2.:) Strategically dismembering your friends sounds fun.... in a non-real way, of course.
Never played the original "Dead Space", but tacking on a multiplayer mode to a sequel of a game that was originally single-player only seems very "Bioshock 2"-ish to me.
Multiplayer overkill. It doesn't need to be in EVERY fucking game, yet it's becoming more and more prevalent in all the genre's. It works for most of them, but it doesn't need to be tacked on EVERY game in some way, shape or form, which it is for the most part.
It's like it's becoming an expected thing.

I like cheese sandwiches, but only cheese sandwiches. Adding pickle takes away some of the resources that would be best spent on making the cheese more cheesy.
Yeah more useless multiplayer. Who will actually look forward to a tacked on multiplayer?the first one didn't need it why do it this time? Stupid greedy bastards
Haha wow, sure is everyone harping on multiplayer they know nothing about in here. I bet they eat those words when they announce you play as a necromorph ala Left4Dead Infected vs Survivor.

Just because it's now in a big city doesn't mean it won't still be clausterphobic and tight like the Ishimura. It likely just means there'll be more areas overall to explore. Multiplayer sounds like it could be alright, we simply don't know enough to make that call. I was hoping for some sort of Horde-like survival mode honestly, but a vs. mode could be okay. Think Left-4-Dead with Necromorphs... I'm excited.

My sentiments exactly.
How come nobody allows for the chance that Dead Space multiplayer might turn out to be, you know, fun?

I don't get the big commotion about multiplayer? As long as the single player game is still good then whats the fuss about? Lets wait atleast until some footage comes out before we leap on the "they've ruined a good thing" bus.
You cant complain about game series getting stale and samey (ala AC2 & COD) and then complain when a company tries something new

... and this is how you ruin survival horror games.
First Capcom with RE 5 and now EA with Dead Space 2.
My expectations for DS2's single player campaign has just been lowered.

Not sure how MP would work with this. I mean a survival/firefight/horde thing could be cool even if it's becoming more commonplace.
What could seperate this
from other online games would be compeling use of zero-g in multiplayer. Obvioulsly this game doesn't lend itself to twitch type deathmatch gameplay so I'm curious to see what they end up doing with it.
But ill remain cautiously optimistic.

Nobody wants Multiplayer because it'll detract from the time the developers could put into making the single player experience much better.
Look at Brutal Legend, it was a lot shorter than it should have been and unpolished due to the time the Dev team spent on the Multiplayer RTS side.

I am really happy that they have given Isaac a voice. I am not a big fan of silent protagonists (despite the Half-Life and Zelda series being some of my favourite games).
I am a little concerned about the game having multiplayer, but as long as the main story mode remains a solitary experience and the multiplayer is an entirely separate mode I am okay with it. I do not want to see Dead Space 2 become like RE5 and have Isaac constantly accompanied throughout the game.

Or I could just gun them down in MW2, Halo or Gears.. which is where the vast majority of my friends will be, when I want to get my multiplayer on.
as long as they do not water down the single player experience I do not care in the slightest that they are adding multiplayer.
Dead Space has been THE BEST survival horror game experience on my PS3 so far.
4.5/10 my opinion bitches!

I admit it would be fun to play as the Regenerator and just fuck with people. The only game mode I would agree on is if players get to control a random Necromorph that spawns (ie randomly pops out of a vent) and fights Isaac like in normal combat, only a player is the AI. =\
Otherwise, this doesn't sound good, but then again, I'm also against BioShock 2 multiplayer...
