Amnesia killed the horror genre

Dead Space isn't survival horror : s

It's a first person shooter with really ugly enemies.

**CHANCEPHOENIX** · 01-29-2011, 07:11 PM

yeah , well ...

some web-sites call it action-horror , some survival-horror and some even sci-fi shooter ...

To me personally , it"s just Resident Evil 4 or 5 in Space Wink

only major downside for me is the lame 3rd person view.

Still a high praise. Resident Evil 4 is an excellent game.

Dead Space is just a third person shooter.

BUT it's still awesome. Dead Space 2 on the PC is awesome.

and thats when games become serious, i have my own opinion you have yours

yeah, from what i've seen of dead space 2 it's fun, but i wouldn't call it a horror, a couple scares sure, but it's more of an atmospere, not scary, just not normal.

They are both scary imo , and both deserve the title Survival Horror.
