Co-op originally planned for Dead Space

Dead Space almost included a co-op mode until EA ultimately scrapped it.

1 - Good
Co op would of ruined it imo.

Dead Space was a horror game. You are all alone inside this ship, so its always tense and you're on edge.

With a partner, you lose the horror factor because you have TWICE the firepower and can watch each other's back.

While i agree RE5 was scare-less, Co-op can work in horror games. RE Zero was scary at times and that was with Billy always following you.
The two RE:Outbreaks done a good job easel. I think a RE:Outbreak would work well today if it still used the old style gameplay with the limited ammo etc.

1.4 - Glad they scrapped it...
Sorry, but Dead Space is a personal experience and to have a partner would have ruined the many scary parts of the game. In no way would having co-op been a good thing for the atmosphere of the game, unless of course you cannot handle scary stuff and needed somebody there to hold your hand...

7 - RE5 vs Dead Space
I reckon Dead Space is better than RE5 after completing both, which may be due to the lack of co-op. What is the general consensus?

Co-Op in Dead Space would have been hard to do with all the scripted moments in it. If two players got split up a little bit, one of them would miss the spooky arm reaching through the ceiling, or corpse drifting across a viewport in space.
