Surprised they green-lit another Dead Space animated feature, mostly because Downfall was IMO... meh. At least it filled in the blanks about what happened before Dead Space fairly well, so as long as it does that again, will look forward to it either way.
The dead space "mythos" is getting a little convoluted. I wouldnt mind the prequels and backstories so much if they didn't amount to "miners are surprised by killer monsters. They find out how to kill them, but they all end up dying so they don't have a significant impact on the main games (which so far is one game)
@llort het: So in otherwords, you've just managed to answer you're own point. You're judging what a series 'amounts to' from one game and an animated feature/graphic novel. The whole series will now forever be like this?
I mean, I'm familiar with these conventions as much as the next person, but what's wrong with the way the story is told? The Resident Evil series is 'too convoluted' yet it's story can still hold up quite well and be a lot of fun.

As a game, Dead Space is a great piece of entertainment. As an animated movie, graphic novel, etc., it's just another Alien/Event Horizon/Thing ripoff. I guess there's a market for these crossovers, but they don't really interest me. Games don't need to cross over into more antiquated media to somehow become legit. Let games be games.
The graphic novel for the first game was pretty good, liked the artwork by Ben Templesmith. The movie? Pretty bad.
