I bet this could start a flamewar if posted in the right forum:

Resident Evil is just Dead Space, but on Earth and with less interesting weapons.

@alyx

But Dead Space came after, right?

So, really, Dead Space is just RE in space.

@Aldo2
That's where the flame war potential lies.

But if you're a newbie, there's a certain time span where you could have grown up with Dead Space, and after that you see all the Resident Evil Remakes.
