Dead Space 2 is coming. GDN got hands on a four level preview version and well, what can we say? It’s Dead Space. There are Necromorphs trying to kill you before you do what you need to, you’ve got a story to unravel and all the old tricks of the trade have been thrown in, with the kitchen sink.
Unfortunately, EA has demanded that the preview be taken down, stating an embargo is in place for online previews until January (the game is set for January 28th, 2011) the demo is set for release December 21st, 2010.
Since we only strive to create strong, worthwhile relationships with the industry, we have complied. This placeholder will remain until such time as we can re-publish our preview. Which, we would guess, will be in about a month.
We humbly apologize for the inconvenience and understand your desire to learn more about the game and hope that you will check back, once we are again allowed to publish the preview.
Please note, we are not in the business of censorship and as such, have not removed the comments made on the original preview, disparaging though they may be about our reviewing skills here at Gamers Daily News.
Thank you,
Christophor Rick
CEO, Gamers Daily News
UPDATE: EA insists that even with a demo coming this month (December, 2010), we will not be able to publish our preview. We have our suspicions about other reasons why, but will refrain. Simply put, we will not do any coverage of Dead Space 2 prior to its launch.
