The actual issue many and myself have with the film is with the actual production of the film.īut let's start from the beginning, shall we?

But don't let that put you off, despite being written by no less than a 4-man team of writers - Brandon Auman, Mike Disa, Chuck Beaver and Joe Goyette - the story turned out actually pretty decent. Unlike most Dead Space multi-media material, Aftermath was not written by good well-known popular comic book writers but by EA's own staff. It doesn't necessary tie into its predecessor Dead Space: Downfall, rather it's a whole new separate storyline.Īnd just like Downfall it was used to bridge the gab between the games and serves as a prequel of sort to the second episode. This second Dead Space animated film, Dead Space: Aftermath, was produced to coincide with the release of the survival horror game Dead Space 2. The first one was more or less successful enough to warrant a sequel, plus it tied nicely into both the continuity of the franchise as well as help boost the hype of the release of the second game (while making some money at the same time, better than just random internet ads and free behind the scenes stuff). I perfectly get why EA wanted to make this film in the first film.

What was even the point to make this animated film like this? I don't even. Genre Science-fiction/horror animated film
