    From what I played in the demo it just seems like “horror” is taking a far back seat to the shooter action and that sucks not only because its a “resident evil” game known for horror but this sucks even more because the shooter controls in RE5 are subpar to the controls we have now in games like Dead Space.

    Dead Space seems like its “Uncharted” and resident evil is “Tomb raider” if I had to make an analogy. Resident evil might go out like tomb radier and get bested in what its known for. Dead space is beating what I have seen of RE5 in both of the major categoruies that matter which are controls AND horor/suspence.

    Exactly, you can tell that Dead Space was made with the intention to scare the audience. The way they have used sound is superb.
    I was playing it last night and i was wary about turning the next corner because of what i might find. That is the sign of a true horror game. Unfortunately it looks like Silent Hill is going the same route as Resident Evil, as the newest release in that series, Homecoming, is also substituting genuine scares and suspense for more action orientated gameplay.
    Brook i think your right when you say it might go out like Tomb Raider, even though Tomb Raider can still be fun to play, it let it’s self down when Lara went from raiding tombs to dumb shit that has no significance to a tomb whatsoever. Resident Evil has gone from a genuine survival horror to a pure action game, and that is a sad sight to see. No matter how good the final game will be, one thing is for sure, it’s abondoned it’s roots and is trying be like all the other action games out there.
