Dead Space may be better than Resident Evil 5 and maybe upcoming ones ( Maybe), but it won't be as good as Re 1,2,3,4....

Nothing is more scarier than the days when you played Re alone in a dark room with no ammo whatsoever in your pistol...the thrilling sensation was just immense...I gotta say though, if Dead Space keeps on track and gets more scarier, then yes it might beat resident evil 5.

dead space has beaten almost all my expectations that resident evil has set. one thing is for sure though, if RE continues its downward spiral and dead space gets a couple more sequels with each one getting better and better, I will rank Dead Space higher than Resident Evil.

I've never found the RE games scary, but the Decapitation Demo or w/e scared me to the point of nearly pissing my self so i never bought the game lol.

Resident Evil 1,2,3,4,CV & REmake>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dead Space.

Resident Evil 2 on its own>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dead Space.

Dead space has a long way to go before it takes RE's crown.

Bottom line______________________________________

Resident Evil 1,2,3,4,CV & REmake>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Condemned >>>>>>>>>> Dead Space >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RE5

True, Condemned: Criminal origins also>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dead Space.

Shame that Condemned 2: Bloodshot was not even nearly as good as the origional.

Seriously? I was going to buy Condemned 2 someday, this is sad news for me.

Well I agree that the Deadspace franchise COULD be better than present and future RE games, depending on the path the RE series takes from here...(although I'm really only judging it on its current installment, RE5, which I liked but only thought was 'good'...most, but not all, of the others were brilliant...Re5 was trying too hard to conform to modern trends in video games, some of which I feel have no place in an RE game! Felt more like I was Gears of War, goddamnit! Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

Time will tell but it's probably unfair to judge the entire Resident evil series on just one installment.
And for all we know Deadspace 2 might be crap...

personally I think the whole horror video game genre should take a break for a while anyway

Yup, unfortunately it was not nearly as "holy sh*t" scary as the origional.

They even replayed the infamous mannequin's surrunding you when you turn around scene.

Still a decent game, the scenery executions are cool, but overall the origional trumps it.

dead space was good,but it got boring toward the end. How many corridors and hallways can one ship have. lol
