Video: Dead Space gets violently animated

There's a new Dead Space video featurette available today and the subject being discussed by the dev team is animation. Yes sir, animation. The movement and feel of every character's animation, including our friend Isaac and those icky Necromorphs. Fun fact: They actually had to animate two different sets of animations for all creatures, one for general movement and one for zero gravity. Another fun fact: The game's death animations are brutal, twisted and gory as all hell. Just watch and you'll see.

Nothing like a game with a ton of great death animations, it's a lost art really. So far the champion I think still goes to The Immortal, man that game was crazy.

Game really seems to be coming together. I know some people are dismissing it as relying too heavily on gore, but it really seems like a great survival horror title that's heavy on the action. I'm looking forward to it.
