Dead Space 2 Online Multiplayer Confirmed
Word leaked via a job listing last year and a blurb in Game Informer magazine that some form of multiplayer mode could be coming to Dead Space 2, and now EA’s John Riccitiello has pretty much sealed the deal. The EA CEO dropped a few morsels of info about the Dead Space sequel during an interview with Industry Gamers, including a brief confirmation of online multiplayer support.
"...Dead Space 2 is more than a worthy sequel; it’s going to be a monster. So I’m really, really pleased with that," Riccitiello gushed, continuing, "It’s got some really innovative online gameplay."
Granted, that’s not a whole lot of info other than the online stuff being "really innovative," but a confirmation’s a confirmation, right? Riccitiello went on to explain a little bit more about why he thinks Dead Space 2 is the bee’s knees.
"It seems like everyone’s been Duke Nukem since the beginning of time, you know? Give me a bigger gun and I’ll march my way through," the EA executive added. "What Dead Space does is it’s a thinking man’s game in addition to being a great action adventure title... I love that to conquer this game you have to use your brain."
Expect lots more on Dead Space 2 at E3 next week.
