So if someone picks up Dead Space 2 and they wanted to jump into multiplayer first would it spoil the single player campaign in any way? We built around the mechanics of the objectives in the maps and used those to feed into something that fits the core of the Dead Space franchise. Each one of these is a unique multiplayer map, though not taken from the single player campaign.
The objective-based mode is core to what you would be doing in single player so all the maps are based within the universe, places where Isaac would’ve gone in the single player campaign. We sat down and said how can we bring the fiction and the core of Dead Space and not abandon the feeling of horror, the action, the terror, and everything that’s so great about the single player campaign, so the best way to approach this was we brainstormed a bunch of different ways and landed on the objective-based mode we have right now. We did a lot of research on those games and how they built their franchise around multiplayer, how they integrated multiplayer from a single player type of game, so BioShock and Uncharted, and Call of Duty obviously. What sorts of challenges, if any, did you come across when working on bringing the Dead Space universe into the multiplayer space?įrom the very beginning we went out and looked at a lot of games that are competitive in the multiplayer space between games that had a franchise based on multiplayer versus games that are single player at their core and expanded into multiplayer. This is the first time in the Dead Space franchise that multiplayer is being introduced.
We talk challenges of crafting a multiplayer campaign, comparisons to Left 4 Dead, campaign details, and more. We recently got a chance to chat with Scott Probst, producer at Visceral Games, who works closely on the Dead Space 2 multiplayer campaign.
