Game scarier then Dead Space?

[DESTARD]

Dead Space wasn't that scarry to me..

[☆Heike'sFootSlave™☆]

The enmies in Dead Space was more uglier and also NEW for me!
I like both really much, both are really scary!

[molotovsoda vic]

So far dead space was better for me, but this is still a fun "run and hide game"

[Stryder]

Dead Space was never scary. Just had that little jumpscare in the end. Resident Evil 2 scares me.

[Barser]

Yeah dead space is just jump scares for the most parts unfortunatly. Though I like dead space its way different in style. So far I dont find aliens (or dead space) very scary, but its really tense with the cat and mouse style :).

Very different games. In Dead Space you are a hunter with a huge arsenal to slay your enemies. Here you are the pray and pretty much anything can kill you.

[burivuh]

Dead Space was scary for me only in the first chapters.

[[TW]Sergeant Beanbag]

Yes,but not as gory/bloody...

[Rizzwalker]

Imo Alien is way scarier. You feel helpless most of the time while in Dead Space I always had ways to kill off my enemies quite easily. Not that I dislike Dead Space, I think it is more fun to play, while Alien is rather intense than fun. (Might be considered as fun as well ;) )

Go back to the day Doom came out, no one had really played a game like it. Now imagine sat in front of a 15" monitor, (CRT type), and trying to look round corners by actually looking across the monitor. Go with the sounds as well, all back in '93 and it was scary the first time round.

The Alien in the Lobby part actually had me physically shaking once I finally managed to get through it without being caught (took me about 4 tries, and one go i accidently lost site of it and my distraction made it go the opposite way I planed, nearly jumped clean out of my chair when I got 'shanked'). Games dont usually do that to me, and i didnt think this game would actually make me scared. Also even when i know they are coming (ie "Ah hell I stuffed up" moments), when the alien grabs me it makes me jump every time.

So yeah, its scarey... and ive never played Deadspace.

Just completed mission 4. Going along quite nicely until I realised the vent I was about to walk beneath was dripping this silvery, slimey goo. Absolutely horrifying!

I think the only parts of Dead Space 1 & 2 which equal the sheer helpless fear this game induces are those with the necromorphs that can't be killed and which pursue Isaac Clarke through the respective levels.

Also Dead Space was third person P.O.V. and Alien is first person. The first person point of view adds to the terror, I reckon.

This games random A.I can completely catch you by surprise.

I had just torched the damn thing and started running for my life to an elevator, within literally 4 seconds it had crawled up into an air vent, followed me to the next opening and jumped down behind me.

Another time I was running away from it after it went into a vent, I backed into a corner, with doors all around me. I heard it thud onto the ground and scream, then it started running. I frantically looked from left to right ready to torch the bloody thing, but it popped out from behind a doorway on my immidiate left and charged me before I could do anything.

Another time I stumbled across a bunch of survivors in my way. I managed to sneak behind one of them and caved his head in with my wrench, but one of the others saw me. I ran back to an air vent as he fired off shots in my direction. I wasn't even in the vent when I heard the thing scream. All I heard after that was the sound of it running around accompanied by panicked gunshots and grown men screaming. This is whilst I'm cowering in an air vent under the floor.

This game kicks ass. They had better make a second one.

Alien: Isolation is propably the best horror game I've ever played. Dead Space was scary for an half an hour, after that it felt like any other action game.

I like Dead Space very much, heck, I´ve loved playing Dead Space 3 with my coop partner, but Dead Space is more like Aliens, the sequel, not like Alien.
Both are great movies in their own right, but deal with suspence, tension and mood in different ways, both which work on their own.

In other words, apples to oranges man.

[cobalt358]

yes definitely. Dead Space felt more like a sci-fi Resident Evil. it had it's scares, but more in a cheesy b-movie kinda of way.

Alien Isolation grabs hold of your intestines and twists them slowly.
