Sup ??? For me personallly both games are great at what they do....Dead Space gave a new enviroment , futuristic style guns and posable button movements while aiming... For Resident Evil 5 its giving the same action we loved from Resident Evil 4 and placing it in Africa...and besides therre are tons more weapons to collect rather than in Dead Space...Dont get me wrong but Dead Space has a lot of replay value for me and i m simply loving the game but guys think about it...What did the others say Resident Evil 4 before it came out and after....??? Dudes just write your comment below

First off, I have to start by saying I don't think it's worth much to compare a full game to a demo, but here's my take:

Avid RE fan since the first one (the reason I initially bought original Playstation) and I feel that the new herd of zombies and old school gameplay in RE 5 don't work well together. Additionally you're either babysitting a player or the computer (they both basically play the same if new to the series). Don't like co-op, think it was integrated crappy, and probably not going to be big on the game.

Dead Space sucked me in immediately, then it faltered off during levels 5-7, then came right back and ended with a killer mechanic. I like that I could shoot and backup, I appreciated being able to save when I want and skip it when I didn't, I also liked the fact that I was alone. This seems to be my biggest issue: not being alone.

Mark my words: Dead Space is probably the better game but Resident Evil 5 will definitely dominate the sales.

Dead Space gameplay is vastly superior to RE5

but everything else, Dead Space does poorly.

What I find funny is that people come out and say that Dead Space is nothing but a rip-off of RE4, but then when the RE5 demo comes out everyone starts saying that the controls suck and that Dead Space will be the better game, even though RE4 used the exact same control scheme :?. Dead Space was a fun, yet painfully repetitive title that tried to play with the big boys and almost succeeded. RE5 however, is going to be a masterpiece, just like RE4 before it. Anyone complaining about control needs to get over themselves. Silent-Hal

To me Dead Space is Resident Evil 4 lite. Dead Space had some really great potential, but it was too one-note. Sure it was fun shooting the limbs off of the creatures for awhile, but that was really all you did the whole game. And I definitely wasn't impressed by the boss battles. Shooting glowing spots isn't my idea of a good challenge.

I played through Dead Space once and it had its good points - the visuals were excellent. And it was definitely atmospheric. But that is style over substance. And not even the lure of trophies was enough to get me to complete a second playthrough. As other posters have pointed out - Dead Space is just too repetitive.

Its hard to say from the demo whether RE5 will live up to RE4. But if it has at least as much action and variety as RE4, then it will definitely be superior to Dead Space. Action and variety is what made RE4 great - I played RE4 countless times on multiple systems because it was fun to try all the different weapons and use different strategies on different creatures.

Dead Space was successful at atmosphere but it definitley failed on variety. RE4 was successful at both. The jury is still out on RE5. But I think RE5 has a very good shot at succeeding at both style and substance.

Survival Horror or Sell Out Action game?Scianix-Black

Dead Space is the best survival horror this generation.

Resident Evil 5 is not a survival horror anymore, it's an action game.

I really love Dead Space! What a great game!

you're my new favorite person

well judgeing by the demo of re5 i would say dead space will be the better imo. but demo's do not always reflect the whole game. some times i think devs should not put out demos lol. Wild_Card

i agree. while playing RE5 i thought just what you said. i got bored, and i'm a big RE fan. the game looked sweet, but i just never felt any connection. now i'm sure when i purchase the game in march that the loss of connection to the game will be removed, but for those that were on the fence on purchasing RE5 if the demo didn't do it for them then that may be one less purchase. i would like to see a study on whether demo's help sell games or not. i demo'd mirrors edge, and decided against a purchase. i'm guessing that if i had demo'd Assassins Creed the same thing would have happened. luckily that did not happen because i really enjoyed AC. oh yeah, i'd choose Dead Space BTW

I was thinking about Dead Space, but when I played the demo I didn't really like it that much.

I have to play RE5 over again. Only skimmed through the two stages and got killed by both of the super zombies lol

in the second stage the chainsaw wielding zombie killed me after i loured him into an explosive barrel and i put atleast 20 bullets into him. maybe i should have used a grenade and my rifle?

RE5 is going to be the better game in terms of the fun factor. The online/offline co-op reminds me of L4D, and with a proper headset this could provide some hilarious/awesome moments. Some would say the co-op is ruined by inexperienced players, but for god sake's it's only the demo give it some time.

Dead Space, on the other hand, just didn't do it for me. It's scary as hell though I'll give it that:shock:

Silent Hill Homecoming is the best survival horror this generation.

I really love Dead Space! What a great game!

RE5, ftw!

Dead Space.

I can't stand RE5 controls or gameplay in general. Can't move/shoot at the same time? What is this, PS1 days? Seriously, it's time to update the game and not have stupid crap like that going on.

I love em both. The RE5 demo is sweet. I've seen a guy play and beat Dead Space and I will say, Dead Space is one of the scariest games I've seen. Both have action. Both have creepy nasties you have to shoot with some sweet guns. Both have a solid main character, except Isaac never talked and I personally think that Chris Redfield could take him on any day IMO. This is actaully a really though call for me. I'm gonna have to say RE5 because I've been down with the Resident Evil series for a looooooong time. Dead Space is a great game though and I recommend it to anyway who is a fan of survival horror games.The_Lawyer13

yeah right, lets see whats more powerful a 9mm gun or plasma cutter

RE5 for local co-op is too much fun, Dead space is the better game overall though.

I am a huge Resident Evil fan ever since Resident Evil 1 on the Playstation. However imo I feel RE5 while still an okay game, is probably the 2nd worst Resident Evil game ive played (next to RE3). So that being said I feel Dead Space is better because it is way more scary plus it has a better atmosphere and gameplay to it.

RE5 is still an okay game but thats all it will be, an okay game.

who dug this one out of the dust? the 1st page of posts are from february!?

anyway Dead Space all the way. so immersive and nearly flawless. operating a saw in zero gravity is pretty damn fun too.

im just like this guy, played every resident evil game a million times unlocked every secret possible in everyone of them, resident 4 was my favorite, but i didnt like part 5 at all . i actually stopped playing it. the whole coop thing ruined the game for me. I had a blast with dead space. from beginning to end
