Forums - Gaming - Reuters: Record sales for scary games and Dead Space 2 coming in 2010

http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSTRE59T0F020091030?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews&sp=true

"Resident Evil 5" is a survival horror video game where players fight off zombie-like enemies.

Electronic Arts has a pair of horror offerings for gamers. The publisher recently shipped "Dead Space: Extraction" for Wii, which is a prequel to last fall's Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC hit. "Dead Space 2" is in development for next year.

EA and Valve Software release "Left 4 Dead 2" on Xbox 360 and PC on November 17. The original game, which pits humans against zombies that have taken over the United States, sold over 1.92 million copies on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in the United States.

 

Hopefully true about Dead Space 2.

Lol EA and their errors.
they hardly notice the PS3.

Please don't pair RE5 with scary games. I was actually more scared by playing Twilight Princess...

Anyway, 1 Up for horror games.

I think this is a Reuters error this time, but EA has done really good so far on PS3 multiplatform games in my opinion: Dead Space and Burnout Paradise were equal quality on both systems, Brutal Legend had minor sound errors.

@forest: I think it has more to do with the genre than how scary it is, I think RE 5 is an action game, not a horror game, but it shows that horror themese are popular right now in games (especially zombies).

I hope for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories to break some records as well, but sadly I doubt it.

Silent Hill 5 was average, I never got too far in it and Origins was pretty boring in my opinion, but if this new one is good then I hope it breaks records too.

Zombies are the new Nazis.
