I guess the idea is that Aftermath further fleshes out the mythology of the Dead Space universe. Oh! And scene after scene after scene after scene of people wandering around and talking. So, how do you follow up a lean, brutal splatterfest pitting a ragtag group of survivors against legions of undead mutants? With a story about a fist-sized rock, I guess. Yeah, don't expect to see a lot of stuff like this happening.ĭirect-to-video animated spin-off, though, so I felt like I had some idea what to expect the second time around.

I'm a terrible person and have never gotten around to picking up any of the Dead Space videogames. Both Dong Woo Animation and JM Animation had worked with Film Roman on the earlier animated feature Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic.Okay, I'll admit it. The studios were Dong Woo Animation, Digiart Productions, FX Gear and JM Animation. The different flashback sections were handled by multiple South Korean studios, providing the desired variety. The film was co-produced by Starz Media's animation subsidiary Film Roman, who handled Dead Space: Downfall animation studio Pumpkin Studio and Electronic Arts, acting as supervisor. According to Papoutsis, the development team were 'excited' to see the Dead Space series continue to feature in media expansions. Speaking about the contrasting merits of game and film narrative, the game's producer Steve Papoutsis stated that they were able to go in depth on elements that would otherwise be left unexplained. It also specifically formed part of the marketing push for Dead Space 2. The movie, together with the video game spin-off Dead Space Ignition and multiple pieces of print media, formed part of Electronic Arts's push to expand the narrative and reach of Dead Space. Dead Space: Aftermath forms part of the Dead Space series, described at the time by publisher Electronic Arts as a 'trans-media franchise'.
