Dead Space 2

Dead Space is Resident Evil 5 but better and in space.

As much as I love RE5, I completely agree.

but but but.... The toys are cool.

I'm not trying to hate on it, but you have to admit it. Go from playing Resident Evil 1 or 2 to playing 5 and tell me it's the same type of game. I know games need to evolve and add something to the old formula, but RE5 really lost the survival horror feeling IMO.

Dead Space played like Alien/Event Horizon would if those movies were games.

Until Resident Evil gets its effing act together (hopefully with Revelations), the Dead Space series is the current reigning king of action-horror.

No I know, and I agree. Besides, even if you were hating on them, there's a justified reason to it.

Indeed. I love RE5 don't get me wrong, but you are completely right that RE5 has no survival horror to it. Even RE4 had a little bit of a survival horror element to it imo but it was completely lacking in RE5. I think including Sheva had alot to do with it. Again don't get me wrong as I like Sheva but having her tag along with you the entire game doesn't make you feel as vulnerable. In RE0 at least there were times where you split up with your partner. I also blame the movies for making RE more action than horror too.

I think there is survival horror still lurking in RE5. The whole part leading up to the lickers is about it though. I mean, none of it really scared me (that's subjective though), but it did have an impending doom to it, and it was a little intense knowing that the lickers are around, waiting to pounce.

But yeah...none of it really compared to anything in Dead Space 1 or 2, and the fact that you have to struggle to find survival horror elements in a Resident Evil game, is a sad commentary in and of itself.

I guess I never felt that impending doom cause I had so much ammo stocked up and a partner. Another problem with RE5 is with the exception of the Executioner, none of the creatures/monsters had that nightmarish vibe to them like in previous games imho.

Started the final chapter on Dead Space 2......not sure I totally understand what the hell is going on at this point, but have really enjoyed it overall.

Apparently there is a novel out that I'll probably check out, and of course Extraction

You like those horrid movies, so your opinion is invalid.

 

[Matt S]

Ok, had to quit. Last level is NOT fun...really the first frustrating level for me

RE4 scared me. That was my first horror genre game. That first chainsaw guy freaked me out!

The last chapter in DS2 was definitely the hardest for me. I HATE that damn alien that keeps regenerating....I just ran and ran and dodged any other aliens that appeared and kept on running.

I loved knocking all his limbs off, hitting him with stasis and just stomping him for a few seconds, before turning my tail and running the hell away! That showed him!

Lol...RE who?? Resident Evil 5 is a shadow of what the franchise's former self.

well not RE 5 just the franchise itself.

Not sure why the Japanese market would influence Hot Toys?

Well hot toys is a freakin japenese company.

 

[The Josh]

Isn't Hot Toys based in Hong Kong? Isn't that part of China?

 

[MercWithAMouth]

What's the name of the novel? I want to read this
