The animated prequel to sci fi scare-em-up, Dead Space, has been released today on Blu-ray and DVD.
Dead Space: Downfall is set just before the events of the critically acclaimed horror outing, explaining how the ‘Marker’ was found, and what exactly happened on the ship and the planet surface before Isaac Clark started his rescue efforts. Although it’s not an essential addition to the game, it does help explain the events far better than the logs scattered around the good ship Ishimura.
The trailer for the movie looked all kinds of awesome, carrying over the character and ship design straight from the game. Our esteemed colleague, Otacon, would note that the film looks ‘just like one of [his] Japanese Animes’. And he would be right, as the American studio, Film Roman, chose to do it in the style of a horror anime.
It’s probably best you play the game before watching the movie though; half the experience is not knowing what in tarnation is happening. And damn, what an experience it is.

Why call the prequel Dead Space: Downfall when the sequel to that is just called 'Dead Space'?

I just completed the game a few days ago and since i live in uk i had to wait a week longer. Although i couldn't wait that long so i imported from America! AND I LOVE IT! Its awesome guys! Anyone who doesn't have it should buy it. SPOILERS: I was so sad when i found out Nicole was dead that i nearly cried. lol Apparently there is a sequel in the works for late 2009 or early 2010 so ill be buying that on Day 1.
P.S. If you make a Japanese account you can download the Scorpion Suit for free by entering the code behind the DEAD SPACE manual.

chronologically: The comic (or the animated comic version on PSN), then the movie, and then the game But the game is meant to built on the fact that youdont know all those things yet, The game is the star and where most of the shock and surprise is focused but for someone who wasnt going to buy the game the comics and movie do a good job of making the game more interesting.. The movie is about 90 minutes or a little shorter by a couple of minutes. The subtitle is to denote the fact that it's about the deteriation of the situation that leads into the game
