Dead Space is the sequel Resident Evil 4 deserved
(N4G GameCube)

Eurogamer`s Rick writes: `It`s often lamented that Resident Evil 4 never received the follow-up it deserved. Resi 5 and 6 have their defenders, but they`re not in the same league as Mikami`s masterpiece. I think there`s a case to be made that Dead Space is that sequel. Civilization developers Firaxis has a theory that a sequel should be one third old, one third changed, and one third new. With regard to Resident Evil 4, Dead Space hits those markers almost exactly. It builds on the ideas of Capcom`s game, and even fixes a few of the problems, such as Resi`s notoriously terrible dialogue. For a game that set out with the premise of deliberately aping one of the best games of all time, I`d struggle to think of a better accolade.`
