This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, especially compared to some of the other half-baked attempts to mimic Capcom's hit title. It wasn't really possible to deny where the inspiration came from, and Dead Space was a clear example of the old saying, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." It should come as no surprise that the upcoming Wii prequel, Dead Space: Extraction, continues to take its inspiration from Capcom's most popular zombie-killing franchise, and this time, the muse is Capcom's Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. Like Umbrella Chronicles, Extraction is a reimagining of the Dead Space gameplay as a slow-paced light gun game, and like Dead Space, it doesn't deviate overly much from its inspiration."
