User blog comment:Mistertrouble189/Replacing the Resident Evil franchise?/@comment-1288646-20100917030709

I have been with Resident Evil since PS days. I was in second grade when I was first exposed to the first one. Been with the series ever since. Dead Rising really interested me and I do like the series, the psychopaths, the premise. They're both good games. But I just have to stand by Resident Evil was first and the way they handled zombies (to me) was best. It may have its ups and downs as a series, but "it doesn't have zombies anymore" to me is a pointless argument. You have to evolve. Otherwise things get stale and boring. And while some people think 5 sucked, it tied up a lot of plot points, and actually opened up some more to me. I am also eagerly waiting my brother to get Dead Rising 2 so I can watch him play it. Neither can replace the other.

To be honest a better comparison would be Left4Dead and Dead Rising.
