Dead Space is the sequel Resident Evil 4 deserved

Eurogamer's Rick writes: "It's often lamented that Resident Evil 4 never received the follow-up it deserved. Resi 5 and 6 have their defenders, but they're not in the same league as Mikami's masterpiece. I think there's a case to be made that Dead Space is that sequel. Civilization developers Firaxis has a theory that a sequel should be one third old, one third changed, and one third new. With regard to Resident Evil 4, Dead Space hits those markers almost exactly. It builds on the ideas of Capcom's game, and even fixes a few of the problems, such as Resi's notoriously terrible dialogue. For a game that set out with the premise of deliberately aping one of the best games of all time, I'd struggle to think of a better accolade."

Dead space used the re4 formula really well. Basically..

NecoTehSergal3382d ago

I guess.... I did enjoy the series, and then completely ignored DS3.

I only liked the first one. That first game though, it was almost perfect. A lot was drawn from re4 and there is no denying it. The action, pacing, inventory and atmosphere. Everything really.

It wasn't a shameful clone though, it upgraded everything and added great things like dismemberment. Improved storytelling with hardly any cutscenes. Sure the story was fairly light but the atmosphere told the tale instead. That is amazing game writing.

Dead space is easily one of my favorite games of all time. I could probably play it today and like it just as much as I did years ago.

opinionated3382d ago

I agree. Dead space is a masterpiece.

_-EDMIX-_3382d ago

agreed the first two Dead Space games are among some of the best survival horror titles ever created.

the game doesn't get the credit it deserves.

I would argue that the original Dead Space is more Resident Evil than Resident Evil 4.

Dead Space truly captures the survival elements

Asuka3382d ago

The original dead space was really good. Didn't finish the second game, and never played the 3rd. But the first game was great to play with headphones haha

SmielmaN3382d ago

The first and second were a couple of my favs of the time. Loved them. The third chgd things up a bit in a way that I didn't really like. More action game, less suspense/jump scares. I really enjoyed that series.

You should finish the second game it's really amazing I personally like it's slightly better than the first game but I would definitely say stay away from Dead Space 3 lol

wtf, good thing I already played and finished the game when it came out

walken7113d ago

Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.

PRIMORDUS113d ago

There is already someone or a group called voices38, that has been cracking Denuvo games lately. Not the newest games, but getting there.

PRIMORDUS113d ago

I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"

Furesis113d ago

i don't think so? as far as i know even pirated version have denuvo or whatever runing in the background, they just trick it to say that yes this is a legit copy or just skip that process, but im not 100% sure. regardless this is an endless battle where legit consumer "suffer" sometimes. it's not that big of a deal MOST of the times and i understand publishers not wanting people to get access to their games for FREE so, i cant blame them honestly. i do find it odd that they wouldn't just remove DRM completely considering most people already played it? not like they are getting more sales anymore, just lower the price remove DRM but i guess thats why they still have it because they dont want to lower the price. oh well

1nsomniac112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.

Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.

I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.

You know I would have liked this if it was added on for free. A nice substitute for Assignment Ada.
