Has EA canceled Dead Space 2 for PC?

In 2008 Electronic Arts released the first Dead Space game for the PC and we liked it. We liked it a lot. So we were happy to learn that the sequel, Dead Space 2, was also coming to the PC. However it looks like things may have changed. As part of EA's newly revealed schedule of upcoming games for their next fiscal year they announced that Dead Space 2 would be released in the first quarter of 2011 . . . but did not list the PC as one of its platforms.

Blue's News reports they heard back from an EA spokesperson who told them, "As of right now a PC sku is not in the plan". That's all they got out of the publisher so we have contacted EA for a more detailed explanation. We are hoping the PC port has just been pushed back rather than canceled.

What the f**king hell? So now they are going to start withholding sequels to titles they already release on the PC? The only reason PC do worse is because publisher withhold stuff from the platform.

Guess their goodwill from BFBC2 is a one time only deal.Posted at 11:21AM on Feb 9th 2010 by Unknown
