New GVMERS Doc Looks Back at ‘Dead Space’

Published

on

I hate bringing up old wounds, but one year on, and Dead Space developer Visceral Games’ demise is still a bit raw. And with the original game turning a decade old last month, it’s still sad to look back and see what the franchise was, and what it could’ve been.

Documentarians GVMERS certainly thought so, and after their awesome documentary on The Rise And Fall of Silent Hill, the group is back with a new documentary on (what else?) the Dead Space series. Covering the entire series (including its spinoffs and animated adaptation), the documentary is another solid half hour look at a series that deserved better than what it eventually got.

The inevitable question of whether we’ll see Isaac and company again remains to be seen, as that’s all up to what EA decides to do with a franchise that horror gamers loved until death.

Well, maybe not so much Dead Space 3, but you get what I’m saying.

Writer/Artist/Gamer from the Great White North. I try not to be boring.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
