Resident Evil 4 was an action game as well. Worst argument ever against RE5!
Maybe you just said that to butter up Visceral Games :p
What worries me is how he is saying powers can be used instead of guns in Dead Space 2. Part of the tension for me was the early stages of the first game, when you were basically helpless, with hardly any ammo, and had to slap/stomp your way out of a corner. If Isaac is some sort of Kinetic God, I think it could go the "RE4/5" route.
Fun video! I know Funktastic would like it.

so you hated re5 because it was a action game. why didn't you simply play it as a action game instead, why couldn't you understand the evolution of the game.
First of all, saying both RE4 and 5 weren't horror is bullshit. The developers wanted to scare you, they themselves called both games horror. End of story.
As for Dead Space 2, Dead Space 1 was already too action heavy, so I can't say that I can relate R3y.

I can't understand why he is spelling his name with numbers, much less the great point you made.

I never connected with RE5 either after having probably a double digit number of playthroughs of RE4. I think it was more due to the forced co-op than anything else though.
Aside from that, I am really looking forward to Dead Space 2. The first surprised me by how much I found myself enjoying it. It's nice to not follow a game at all and then find it to be a completely solid experience that somehow pulls you in enough for you to play it every day until you reach completion.

Sorry guys, he is right...RE5 isn't a horror game. It's a action/shooter with shit controls. RE4 was the climax of the series
Kinda agree about RE5. All the multiplayer talk for DS2 kinda had me worried, hope it turns out good in the end.
Evolution of RE? I see, and that's why we still have clunky-tank shooter controls. i don't care what the purists/elitists say; dead space was a true horror game experience for me. i could care less if i never had to run from a fight or ran out of ammo, i actually found myself dreading each encounter and relishing the time between necromorph encounters just exploring the dead ship -- which is more than i can say for RE5.
(loved RE4, and its previous iterations, btw.)

Resident Evil is supposed to scare you. People didn't like RE5 because it wasn't scary. Capcom didn't evolve the series, they just changed what fans liked about it; alone and in the dark.

I think I peed myself when Dead Space shocked me at a place where (normally) in other games you're safe; the save point. I think it only happens once, but I was surely on edge at saves from there on out; which made the rest of the game even more tense.
In that header image, I thought the Dead Space guy was talking to Ash. There's some weird man boob action going on there.
@MidnightOwl
so it not being scary makes it a crap game? no, it makes it a bad resident evil game, but thats no reason not too complete it. its still a great game.

I remember exactly where you're talking about, and I had the same reaction. Fantastic!

I want to love this game, but my undying skepticism keeps me from getting genuinely excited. DS kept getting less suspenseful as you became more powerful, and unless they've solved that aspect in some way, this will remain a case of "wait for the reviews".
@mxdirector
I never said it was a crap game and I did beat it, but you did sum up a lot of people's feelings: " it makes it a bad resident evil game".

I'm so glad someone feels the same way about RE5.
To all thepeople bitching, let it be known that you could change out a few characters in the game and rename it and no one would be the wiser.
RE5 isn't a bad GAME by any stretch of the imaginationg. Its just a bad RESIDENT EVIL game. At the very most its lackluster.

Nvm, midnite owl said what I wanted to say pretty much. Re5 is not an evolution of any kind, its quite the opposite in fact.
RE5 is not a bad game at all, RE4 was better IMHO but that doesn't mean the sequel sucks, i Liked the experience it gave me with a partner sitting next to me in my case a beautiful girl who also enjoys games and she enjoyed it too, aren't games supposed to be fun? and i definitely had fun with it, so in my book its a good game.
Games are not supposed to be fun.
Fun games are supposed to be fun
Scary games are supposed to be scary.
Hard games are supposed to be challanging.
Games in itself can be many things.

I thought RE5 was pretty damn awesome. Was it scary? No, but it was a great game. Dead Space has got its own thing going on and does it very well.
People constantly bitch about games not evolving and changing, and demand something that isn't 'more than the same.'
So a company delivers something different and people bitch about it and claim it's not a _______ game anymore.

@Midnight owl,
Oh god, i remember that part of the game where you go to the deepest, darkest bowels of the ship and see those black necromorphs dragging bodies across the floor. I thought if you left the room they would'nt follow, but that's when I found out that even save stations are not safe, because after I left the save screen, 5 of them were right behind me, no music to warn me or anything. *shiver*

Renegadepanda, i agree. If RE5 was just like re4, people would bitch it didn't evolve. But since re5 is nothing like the prior games and evolved, people still bitched. Look, i love all the RE games, they all hold their own in my opinoin. I think my main complaint that made RE5 less scary for me was the day environments-I always liked the mansion, night time sequences of the early Resident evils or as named in japan biohazard. Anyway. Loved Dead Space-however wasn't that scary to me, but i still loved it! Silent hill 2 is in my opinion one of the best when it comes to being scary/terrifying!
@MidnightOwl
We are arguing about two different things. this man said he thought re5 was crap and didnt bother finshing it. thats completely different to saying it was a bad resident evil game. im defending re5 as a good game, not as a good resident evil title.
but re5 not being a good resident evil game doesn't make it a bad game. people even say re4 isnt a resident evil game, yet its still one of the best games ever made.
re5 is basically re4 with less scares, and that doesn't make it a bad game.

I liked Resident Evil 5 but NOT as a survivor horror game, not even close. I want something more like Resident Evil 2 with Resident Evil 5 graphics as I think I jumped maybe once throughout the entire game and the actions seems were...not Resident Evil.
Dead Space 2 is on my list and I cant take it off!

Resident Evil 5 was ZERO scary. Not "a little" or "not scary enough" ZERO scary. Period. You'd have to be 8 years old to be scared by that game and even then i somehow doubt it will be scary.
I don't care if they CALL it a horror game, its not if its not scary.

You couldn't have posted a worse header image, I thought it was a lesbian interviewing him. MAN BOOBS! Which is weird because you look skinny. I also don't agree with swearing in an interview, it's not professional at all and comes off as trying too hard to be edgy. Besides that, you remind me of one of my good friends who is a blast to chill with.
don't listen to these guys Rey, you are gorgeous and of course its no easy job to step in front of the camera for anything. kudos to you. so, how long have you been living as a woman?
Dead Space has replaced res evil and silent hill i think as the new standard of horror gaiming...even with its heavy empathsis on action. i hate those moments in the first DS when those asshole necros would run behind ya or something , only to be fucking with your capacity not to shite yourself.jerks.
also i dont think ppl hated Res5 cuz it was a action game...i think people hated it because it was a POOr action game. sluggish controls(lost planent anyone??) crap set pieces, terrible acting. im not even gonna mention the AI.
res peaked with res4 then shoulda went to bed.

"People constantly bitch about games not evolving and changing, and demand something that isn't 'more than the same."
1. People don't constantly bitch about games not evolving and changing. Where you read 90% of that argument is in gaming media articles, most often deployed in aiding a marketing/PR person spinning the fact that there's been core gameplay changes in a series. 'Evolved' is a nice, upbeat way of saying 'changed', and makes it seem as if a person isn't 'forward thinking' if they don't like it. The reality is the vast majority of 'evolved and changing', such as RE5, actually moves towards...
2. ...multi-player, co-op, and 'Arcade' style action design. Which isn't so much 'evolving' as 'making a game 100% casual gamer and young teen bait'.
RE4 'changed', but kept the same RE atmosphere backed by a lengthy, engaging single-player experience. It remains one of the more memorable games I've ever played. RE5 followed the formula detailed above in 2., and gave us a short, co-op aimed, competent action game (and would have been reviewed as a mediocre experience if not for Capcom's big adverting $$$) that's ultimately forgettable 5 minutes after playing.

nanowerx, what's ironic is you calling resident evil 5's controls shit when it was exactly the same as 4 lol.
dont hurt yourself thinking about what you say in future! ;)

cadtalfyn: People are idiots. sad but true.
RE5 was everything said idiots creamed there pants about in RE4, amped up and in HD with co-op. But these people are too stupid to even admit that, it's far easier to be sheep and continually follow the other sheep's bitching bleetings.

@AdamantiumHip
Hahahahaha no. The co-op was not a plus. It was a negative attribute to the game. Everything with designed around co-op and if you weren't playing co-op you were stuck with Shiva McRetard. Every time I looked at that bot I got angry knowing she was why my inventory was cut down to 8 slots. Sure Ashley was useless but I don't ever remember her getting in my way in like 10 play throughs of RE 4.
But outside of that. Resident Evil 4 went for a zany over the top approach to it's style. I mean the castle full of traps, etc. Completely ridiculous but fun to play through. RE 5 on the other hand tried to be really serious run and gun. It just didn't work and it wasn't that fun to play.
I don't know what to say other than RE 4 is so many things RE 5 isn't. You can take the HD graphics and co-op and shove them for all I care.

Iron - that's bullshit. I played through solo on EVERY difficulty, even professional, solo before I even touched co-op - and the AI never gave me any trouble.
The story was actually related to the series unlike 4, the monster designs were better (majinis actually LOOKED like decaying, necrosis ridden inffected than just some old spanish dudes with pitch forks) and sheva's AI actually fought back.
RE4 fanatics who can't admit 5 improved it are idiots.

I agree with the article and seems like good news about Dead Space - but seriously, why do you spell your name like an attention starved eight year old on XBL? Spell your name like a person with some education and reclaim some dignity, R3Y GUTI3RR3Z makes you look like a tool.
