I think people are giving RE4 too much credit - its an amazing game, but in terms of influecing the third person genre I've always seen games like Socom put a firmer stamp on what we come to expect from the genre now. Just my opinion.
But yeah, Dead Space was a better survival horror then RE5 and a better game then RE5. I assume Dead Space 2 will just further that gap, as well, it's a new exciting fresh IP with lots left to come out of it before it gets tiresome.
