The story of the Ishimura and the Colony Aegis VII is pretty much completed. The end of the game Dead Space wasn’t particularly open for sequelisation. Unfortunately, for one very big reason that I’m going to go into in a moment (and you’ll spot why from the pictures), this is a fundamentally terrible film that narrowly ducks an Orangutan of Doom based entirely on the fact that it is such a good idea.įirstly, I’m going to give credit where it is due. There are problems with Unitologists again, and the film unfolds in four flashbacks on board the Sprawl. However, I don’t like Dead Space Aftermath, and I doubly don’t like pissing all over good ideas through a combination of incompetence and trying to be too fucking clever.ĭead Space Aftermath picks up the story of the doomed rescue mission conducted by the USS O’Bannon (HAR-DE-FUCKING-HAR) which is ostensibly attempting to find survivors of the Ishimura and also to try to retrieve whatever Isaac left of the alien artifact known as The Marker.
I also like the Rashomon idea of telling the same story from multiple points of view.
Seriously, I like the idea of extending the Dead Space universe because it’s big, well thought out and fundamentally interesting. This isn’t so much of a review, more a polemic where I’m going to vent some spleen on a good idea completely butchered through sheer incompetence.
