This week’s addition of Faceoff is taking a turn for the horrific, pairing Capcom’s Resident Evil 5 against EA’s newcomer franchise, Dead Space. We’re going to compare everything from visuals, to story, to controls, gameplay and scare factor, to bring you the lowdown on which title will bring you more scares for your buck. Let the Faceoff begin!
The Resident Evil series was my first taste of the Survival Horror genre many moons ago, and it’s hard to believe that the franchise has been around for nearly 13 years.
After 4 entries into the series proper, and more than as many spin offs, it’s not unreasonable to assume that the franchise may have lost it’s sheen over the years. After Resident Evil 4 breathed fresh life into the series, RE5 was going to have to step it’s game up if they wanted to be relevant when there are a number of other Survival Horror titles out there on the market challenging it’s status.
Fans of Capcom’s mall zombie beat em up rejoice! Today, the publisher announced the impending release of Dead Rising 2, which will be releasing on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.
The original was an Xbox 360 exclusive, so it begs to wonder if it will see a release on the Playstation 3 prior to the sequel.
More details after the jump.
Nintendoeverything has some cool Monster Hunter 3 shots up.
I admit that I’m disappointed that the PS3 version of the title was canned in favor of the Wii, but there’s no denying that Capcom looks set to deliver another quality Monster Hunter romp (I loved the PS2 and PSP iterations of the series).
I’m still hoping for a PS3 release, but this one will most certainly have to do. Check out the screens at the link below. Be warned, they’re small screens, but they still look wonderful.
