Is Dead Space scarier than Bioshock and Resident Evil 5?

I was thinking of getting Dead Space sometime soon. I heard great things about Dead Space, plus it has trophies. Anyone know?

Bioshock is not scary, RE5 is not scary, Dead Space is scary as ****. That answer your question?

None of them are scary....In Dead Space how can you be scred when you have so many weapons to use? Its fun but not freaky...Resident Evil is like an action game now and Bioshock is another action,

LBP is scarier than RE5 if that says anything. Bioshock just has a creepy atmosphere (although it's a great game by itself). Dead Space isn't like crap-your-pants scary, but it's definitely scarier than the other 2 games.

Dead Space and BioShock are the best choices TC. As for scare factor Dead Space has cheap scares that will get you every once in a while. Resident Evil 5 isn't scary what so ever. As for BioShcok it gets creepy at times but nothing to make you jump out of your seat.

get it i have it and it is a really good game the story keeps you guessing all the way to the end the gameplay is tight and the overall atmosphere will keep you jumping if you don't believe me play it by yourself at night with the surround sound on

Wow. Many people lately have been considering Bioshock scary. Kinda goes to show why the horror genre is dying out. :| Bioshock is not scary, RE5 is not scary, and Dead Space is not scary. Dead Space is engrossing, which can lead to you being startled by the occasional pop-out thrill. I don't consider anything in it to be truly scary. raven_squad

whats your definition of 'scary' then? all of you seem to be either be too proud to give note to something or are so affected by the internet that artistic values like immersion and 'occasional pop-out thrill' don't connect to the word scary. with different words, you are saying dead space is the scariest out of the three, but you cant say it like that. also its not the horror genre thats dying out, its the sensibilities of humanity thats dying out. we all find 'things' online, and most of it doesnt bother most of us...when it should. you have to understand that movies can only go so far,but videogames can keep going, until what we wish to be in a game is seen as an "A" rating by the esrb.dead space would of caused an uproar 5 years ago, because of the depth of fear in which is works off of.artisticallydead space would be considered exactly what a videogame can do with fear. pros and cons.

i played the demo of dead space, i love how they kill you no matter what, just to show they will. lol

resident evil stopped trying, made the game how its always should of been. action, with zombie like things...

i dont like bioshock very much, i probably would if i played through but ehh to fps..

thats actually called a traumatic experience. which when you were younger was easier to achieve. i was going for the term americanized, being that its across the board on what common 'youth' sees after total immersion and feined ignorance toward reality. its a basic mass mental change from a world where all information is at grasp, where you can watch someone commit suicide online. its basic psychology. i'm not getting on you by the way! just playing devils advocate with the forum.

oh and by using the term it doesnt make people think. =P no ones desensitized really, its just a mass effect on american culture. when everones doing it, you can't really single one out.

[QUOTE="raven_squad"] What are you talking about? :lol: Are you essentially say I'm desensitized? Because just coming forth with the word would have been a whole lot easier. I think a truly scary experience will leave you effected after the game has been turned off. Make you scared to be in the bathroom with the door shut and the lights off. Make you see frightening imagery when you close your eyes. Thats the survival horror I've enjoyed. Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, they know how to put together a horror game. If you consider some atmospheric lighting in a dark room, and a monster sneaking up on you to be the best of the survival horror genre, then something has gone terribly wrong somewhere. raven_squad

pshhh you can't bring that game in! thats the scariest game made, foul!

=]

me and my friends study this stuff, and its across the board. i love horror, but the more we live, the more it dies.

i'm definitely with you on a lot, the 'japanese horror' which is actually scary, because its intelligently put together, 'not scary', but overbearing cuz it strikes chords. i'm talking in terms to our culture and its idea of horror. and dead space is given the word 'scary'. because of three trends: being closed in, not knowing whats coming, not knowing how to win. you have to destroy the enemies completely, which seems like a device to connect to the idea of "theres no way to win, i have to destroy the entire thing just in case" its a game you call scary, just because they went that far, because what it could do to the genre. now people are going to play that have to compete, and maybe even learn to 'strike that chord' that the japanese are so good at.

Dead Space is scarier to me than Bioshock and Resident Evil.

I didn't think it was scary at all, but I'm not scared easily I guess.

Note that Dead Space isn't even close to the level of quality that you get from Bioshock, though. It's very linear, the story is incredibly weak. The dismemberment aspect of it is pretty cool and the Zero-G and Vacuum environments are cool, but the weapons are kinda lame too. I'd give it a 7/10, using Gamespot's system of anything under 8 not being worth $60.

I played Dead Space in the dark, with surround sound.

And I was actually shaking with fear at certain parts of the game. :cry:

deadspace = scary

bioshock = creepy and disturbing

re5 = instense and a stressfull feel

Wow, talk about raising the bar for scary eh? If it totally doesn't screw your life up for the next week or so its not scary? We have to be so analitical on what defines scary and whats just creepy. Lets get down to the nitty gritty and actually look at what the poster is asking. Out of the three, Dead Space is the scariest. End of story.

Now if you want to get into it and say "how scary are they?", well thats pretty dependant on how much gore you have seen already, your age, how many scary movies you have seen and how easily you get scared. Will you need a therapist...probably not. Will any of these titles make you jump...yeah probably somewhere in the game everyone gets a jump from all the titles.

If you want to BE scared, set the mood yourself. Don't play a game with a bunch of things going on in the background, mid-day with your buddies over. Play it late at night, unlock the door behind you or open a window. Turn up the volume and sit closer to the TV. Turn off the lights and expect a good time. You will be surprized at what games scare you! I don't think there is any game that will scare you if you simply don't get into it.

deadspace is pretty damn scary but fun it's a must buy

Dead Space is scarier than Bioshock and RE5.

RE5 simply is not scary but Bioshock has some pretty eerie moments in it. I can see why Dead Space was described as 'Rature in Space'.

I only played the demo of Dead Space, but it is a lot scarier than both of those games

Just little bit more

If you want a REALLY scary game buy the old Resident Evil games(the ones before RE4) those were creepy as hell! Mainly because you only had a knife or pistol and were extremely vulnerable. anime_gamer007

deadspace is so scary that if you want the platinum trophy you have to suspend your fear. bioshock is less scary than condemed and re4 was good but i havent played re5

Bioshock and RE5 are not really that scary. Dead Space however is so atmospheric and very enjoyable. Get it, because you will not regret it! :)

YES... But Dead Space isn't that scary but if you compared to bioshock and RE5... yup it has more scares...

Is Dead Space a good game? And does it have trophies?
