Dead Space 2 Multiplayer Like Left 4 Dead?
The original Dead Space was a tense single-player experience, but the team at Visceral Games is adding a multiplayer component for the sequel. EA has been keeping a lid on the specifics, but it looks like a few details have leaked: one of the multiplayer modes will feature players fighting each other as opposing teams of humans and monsters, similar to Left 4 Dead.
The rumor comes out of a recent GameStop conference, where EA allegedly dished out some info regarding Dead Space 2's online modes and pre-order incentives. Players will be divided into teams, one taking control of the hideously mutated necromorphs and the other assuming the role of standard human soldiers. Presumably, each side will have unique units, weapons, and abilities to create a level playing field.
While this is an exciting rumor when it comes to the game's replayability, I'm still more pumped up for the game's single-player campaign. For me, Dead Space is more about isolation and dread than teamwork...but I'm still intrigued to see what Visceral can do on the online front.
