dead space

[PhantomStone]

has any one played dead space or gonna buy it? i saved up $ for my bro's gift for his b day and got him this, and he said i should play it so i played it. it's an almost exact replica of bioshock, right down to the audio files. but thats IMO what do u guys think?

[Somebody]

Um I dunno what bioshock you were playing but dead space is nothing like Bioshock save for the fact they both feature shooting stuff.

really but what about the whole concept of being thousands of miles away from the majority of the human populace, and the face that in both games your playing against muataed humans, and with the audio files, ect

Dead space is a third person shooter set in space, its a horror game. its bad guys are mutated by a alien lifeform.

Bioshock is a first person shooter set at the bottom of the ocean in the past Its bad guys are completely human mutated but driven insane by the splicing.


They play very little alike and the sounds are not the same in anyway, they arent even made by the same company.

thats a extremely standart concept for horror.. some would even call it a cliché

and the face that in both games your playing against muataed humans,

again, an extremely standart concept, still not a valid comparison to bioshock

and with the audio files, ect

doom 3 (and im sure more games) had those before bioshock did.

the gameplay style in both games is entirely different, and dead space tries to get out that "claustrophobic" feeling.. though in my opinion, none of the two is really all that scary.. they startle, but they're not genuinely scary like doom 3 pr silent hill 2 are for example.
as a action game, dead space does ok, but there's a lot of cheap attacks enemies tend to use (like the small bugs)

though dont take this all as fact, my only experience comes from the demo
