First video in a series of trailers with a voiceover explaining the gameplay, as is customary these days, “Strategic Dismemberment” confirms two things: Dead Space is very promising, and there’s absolutely no way I’m ever gonna play this alone, and/or less than six hours before bedtime.

I wonder whether the creatures’ movements and reactions when they’re dismembered are procedural, or entirely defined by animators; if it’s the latter, the illusion looks perfect. Brr.
