Bear in mind that the actual animation, such as it is, will be done by a company in Asia, and - except for a few layout and CG artists in Burbank - none of the people producing the animation have anything to actually do with the Simpsons, King of the Hill or Wow, Wow Wubsy - whatever THAT is.
The question in many of the remaining minds at Film Roman is: who is the audience for this horror/sci-fi piece of *art*? The language and graphic violence of both the game and upcoming direct-to-disc animated feature are quite a ways beyond PG-13 or "Teen", but the plot is so mind-thuddingly stupid that only mentally defective adults will be interested.
I call fail.

I hope this doesn't end up double posting..

Basically this is what I said, before Firefox messed up.

-Looking at Film Roman's previous projects and content via there website, I would say there not suited for animating and bringing this world of "Dead Space" to life.

As the old saying goes, the chain is only strong as its weakest link.

This is one time I would support outsourcing. Ship this off to Korea or Japan and let those animators work on it, and do it justice.

"The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!"

*Cringe* I don't know of one right off the top of my noggin. But the content of this game, I would imagine, would call for a company that is experienced in dealing with graphic content. And generally good animation.

Looking at Film Roman's other projects that they have worked on via there site.. will they be able to do the world justice? (I wouldn't bet on it from the looks of things)

And personally I would imagine EA would have picked a company more suitable for the project. The one time I would actually support outsourcing. Let some company in Korea or japan work on the animation.

As the old saying goes. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Can't they just wait for the game to come out and bomb before doing something this stupid?

@alienhead: I see nothing wrong with that.

The plot sounds pretty worn -- "The artifact triggers the sudden invasion of a long-dormant alien presence, and the Ishimura's crewmembers find themselves locked in a frantic struggle to survive."

I can only hope the characters are interesting enough that I WANT them to survive.

Bloody hell, why does everything have to have ten different prequels and spinoffs before it's even released? Is it too much to ask for a game's story to stand on its own?

Gotta love when the gears of the Hype Machine kick in. Becaues we all know how well that usually ends up for something that isn't a sequel.

@SinisterSkull:
I think Dead Space would be a knock-off of Event Horizon.

A huge risk if I ever saw one.

The game isn't even alpha stages and you're putting alot of money into a genre that has really only had one big success in the last few years. (hell, even space games have been mixed bags)

Then again, this is EA, they have money to burn, throw away, and wipe there asses with. Who knows

I hate pointing out type o's, but you said "If Dead Space ends up tanking a lot of people are going to end up looking very, very silly." when I think you meant to say, "When Dead Space ends up tanking a lot of people are going to end up looking very, very silly.

I have interest in this game, but of course that could all change a week before the release.

There are 2 types of games I am always down for, Survival Horror & FPS.

If you combine the 2, I'll bust-a-nut. Left 4 Dead... bring it on!

I'm really looking forward to the game, the concept seems really cool. But being in Japan I don't have easy access to US comics. Is the Dead Space comic any good? I assume only 1 volume has come out so far?
