Forums - PC Discussion - Dead Space 2 for PC "no longer in the plan"

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/09/report-dead-space-2-pc-no-longer-in-eas-plans/

A great deal of news came out of EA's Q3 earnings report yesterday; enough to make us overlook this item: The early 2011 listing for Dead Space 2 didn't reference a PC version of he title, as was previously announced. Blue's News reportedly contacted Electronic Arts about the absence of the listing, and was told by a representative that "as of right now a PC sku is not in the plan."

That doesn't mean a PC version of the game is never coming out -- after all, the game's release window is still a year away. We've contacted EA to see exactly what "the plan" entails. Perhaps an elaborate casino heist?

I suppose the PC version of Dead Space didn't do all too well then. Oh well, more spit and shine for the console versions then!

wow, that's pretty bad.  no wonder DS2 isn't getting a PC release.



That's retail only. It'd still be crap with the DD figures added in, I'm sure. Having that SecuROM rubbish on it won't have helped either.



Hooray for consoles! ;)

Yeah, that is pretty horrible actually O_o



Great...now only if they cancel it for consoles too and make something else instead. Road Rash for example...

Stiff controls, no quicksave, Vsync problems (mouse lag and a 30fps hard cap) that can only be fixed by a 3rd-party workaround, and load times that make those on the 360/PS3 versions seem short.

Dead Space sold poorly on PC because it was a bad port. EA are just whining because their half-assed effort didn't sell.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

How about Mutant League Football sequel? Does that work for everyone?
