Electronic Arts has released the above video to promoteDead Space: Aftermath, the second animated feature based in the horror game property.

I just watchedAftermathand I’m not convinced that they succeeded in what they’re talking about here. The gimmick does work for the most part but there’s one consistent element of the story, Stross, that makes it really obvious. He looks dramatically different in each artistic interpretation, as does everyone. But since he’s so central to the plot, that he often drew my attention to the visual changes and away from the story.
