I've been playing my gamefly copy all day today and I have been thinking "If only if this were more like Dead Space". I mean seriously, why have those cumbersome controls in RE 5 if it's not even Scary? Is for the tension? Because if it is then I call bullshit. Dead Space has enough tension to keep an elephant at bay and it doesn't control like a tank simulator. Anyone agree/disagree?

I've gotta say, after having a day to think about my opinions of RE5, I have to agree.  I think Dead Space grabbed me by the balls and refuses to let go.  It doesn't necessarily do anything new, but what it does do...it does it right, and it does it well.

From what i've read, I'll probably come to the same sad realization when I play the game. I loves RE4, but Dead Space really took the 3rd person survival horror game and ran with it. And above everything else, I love the scary factor in games; and Dead Space looks to be scarier. 

Controls in Dead Sapce are better simply becasue it follows the Gears of War formula .

i think RE5 controls just fine, although so far i'm only halfway through Act 2 and enemies with firearms are starting to become more common, which could easily get annoying. but at the moment i'm in agreement with Brad's 5/5 review.

Dead Space takes a huge dump on RE5. Dead Space is way scarier, its way more fun than RE5, and just overall, Dead Space's gameplay is way more satisfying than RE5.

RE6? no thanks. Dead Space 2? HELL YEAH!!!!!!

For me deadspace is a better game in every way. Its more fun to shoot in deadspace, its actually scary at times, I think the story is better also. IM on chapter 4 in RE5 and so far the story seems lame. SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me guess the person with the mask you are chasing is jill right. Im also sure the Josh sheva's friend is in on it as well. 

I haven't played either game, but am looking forward to both. I will have to do a comparison and see which one I think is better.

Yea i felt the same way, once you played with deadspace controls  you  can see the wasted potential on RE5.

Oh hay Resident Evil game, you play like a Resident Evil game! Seriously though, I love dead space, its one of my favorite games from last year. However, this is RE we are talking about here, the controllers are not inferior, its just a different game with a different pace. If you don't like it either deal with it, or don't play it. I have played all the main RE games and this one is great.
