Bound to split opinion
Dead Space is one of the definitive single player experiences in my opinion, but EA have stipulated that Dead Space 2 will feature a multiplayer mode so you can partner up with your friends via Xbox LIVE and share the experience.
So what exactly will Dead Space 2 be offering in it's multiplayer? Teamwork will be key as the reveal trailer shows players will be grouped into humans vs. necromorphs (no prizes for guessing that reveal) in objective based gameplay. For example, defending a computer system for a set amount of time.
The necromorphs boast incredible agility and are able to launch attacks from vast distances, covering the ground in seconds. The humans appear to rely on the strength of their firepower combined, with their weakest link being that of isolation, allowing the necromorphs to latch onto them and 'button bash' to deplete their health.
It's nothing revolutionary from what I can see, but you can call it for yourself by watching the video embedded below.

| a horde mode would be good but the game doesn't need mulitplayer, this the same multiplayer that is in singularity, humans vs monsters |

Looks like communication is going to be really important in this one. Teamwork, teamwork, teamwork...
MP looks ok. |

| Why is everyone saying the mp looks great. It doesn't. I think EA is just trying to milk more money with their games. Dead space was great BECAUSE it didn't have mp. Why does every company feel the need to take great games and change it up when it's going well? If it's not broken don't fix it. |

| I think the multi-player will die pretty quickly. Looks okay to play with a bunch of friends though. I hope they don't sacrifice a good single player experience for this though. |

Why is it EVERY game these days insists on having a stupid fucking multiplayer?
IF I WANTED TO PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, I'D PULL DOWN THEIR PANTS, AND PLAY WITH THEM, BUT I WON'T BECAUSE I'M NOT GAY!!!!
But in all seriousness, a HORROR game does NOT need a multi-player....
DID ANY OF THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS GAME PLAY FEAR or FEAR 2? Those horror games multi-players died pretty quickly. |

Co-op or horde would've made sense. This is just tacked-on deathmatch rubbish, which has been thoroughly discredited as a technique for enhancing sales in the console market, where online play is dominated by a handful of titles.
EA must have absolutely no one on their payroll tracking sales data and trends in new game development, or they would surely have noticed the rise of co-op and survival based gameplay as this generation's sales-driving online feature. |

| It looks interesting if you ask me. I know that Dead Space is suppose to be a Singleplayer experience, but this is something that might work. |
If the achievement is possible to get. I will get it sooner or later. |

I'm all for 2 player co op, or even horde, but this.... ugh.... let me say this, "Bioshock 2".
Prediction, servers down in a month. |
My comments may be mean or blunt, but don't be offended, I mean nothing by it.... unless, I DO mean |

I completely agree, I can't find enough good Co-op games anymore and Dead Space would be fun with someone else. I have high hopes for this game but if the multiplayer is anything like Singularity then its gonna hurt the game. |
