of mine if the full game was like that and he said yes, the design is predictable, not scary. I'm sure it's still a great game though, i'll pick it up at some point to be sure. I scare really easy, the opening of bioshock scared the f**k out of me! Dont bring that Japanese/American bulls**t in here. Resident evil 4 was made by the same guy who created the series. And like i said, you dont get to decide whether it's Resident evil or not. Oh and IS DEAD SPACE SCARY? I think it's up to the fans to decide what Resident Evil is and isn't- just because Capcom slap the name on the box doesn't mean squat to me. Much like I refuse to believe Jar Jar Binks is in the same universe as Darth Vader and that the force is actually a kind of disease. Ah, blissful ignorance. And Dead Space is no scarier than Resident Evil 4/5 IMO. It does have better controls and monsters though. I find it interesting how the shift in gameplay has seperated the Resi fans though- seems to be happening with a lot of franchises these days (looks at avatar)... ugh. Fans never decide what a franchise is, nor should they ever. Fans are free to decide if the game has the qualities of resident evil that appeal to THEM personally, but they cannot say it's not resident evil. Resident evil is whatever the creator says it is. Creator is gone.
