- After failing to eject the massive Necromorph known as the Leviathan from the USG Ishimura's Hydroponics deck through conventional means, systems engineer Isaac Clarke takes matters into his own hands and enters the airlock himself to confront the beast.
A showcase of the Leviathan boss fight in the 2023 remake of the original Dead Space, played on Hard difficulty. Really enjoyable fight, as Isaac can now freely traverse the zero-G chamber as opposed to jumping from surface to surface (though being able to run upside down around the perimeter of the chamber in the original game was very cool). I particularly love the final sequence of it ejecting into space; a very rewarding and cinematic end to the boss fight.
It's been a while since I've uploaded videos that are not related to Half-Life. The Dead Space remake was a game that I was looking forward to ever since its announcement and for the past week I've been plugging away at it. Completed the game just yesterday and was thoroughly impressed by what developer Motive did to bring this horror classic back to the masses. I started thinking about videos I could make about specific moments in the game that really stuck with me, and this is one of them :)
Still debating on a full playthrough, as these ones are much more non-linear and intricate than Half-Life games; I foresee that the many sidequests and secrets may make it difficult to tell the story without making it protracted and full of backtracking. For now though, I'd love to get a few more of these encounters up for sure.
Would you play other Black Mesa mod like Azure Sheep?
Personally I wouldn't mind, but I got to a point where I'm a little bored watching full playthroughs.
And don't wanna spoil the game for myself. Never actually played any Dead Space game.
So yeah, it's all up to you.
Considering that some of the new story content is locked behind New Game +, I don't think you'd need to worry about a 100% complete playthrough. I know *I* would watch a more-or-less complete playthrough, but I understand the hesitation.
"Well, I'm all out of good ideas, so guess what's left."
Isaac is a snarky bastard in the remake...
Loved the callback to his "Stick around, I'm full of bad ideas" line in DS2

Yeah. Pretty subtle.
I wasn't sure how you were going to tackle this game at first, seeing as it's thirdperson and your cinematic movement seems like it would only work with firstperson games. But you really nailed it! It felt like I was watching an official gameplay demo or something.
Also, are you still considering doing a playthrough of Entropy Zero? I know you're still doing Black Mesa: Blue Shift, but I was just wondering if it's still on the to-do list.
Glad you enjoyed this! EZ2 is still on the list but I'll be honest...I've been distracted by other things (playing this game being one of them). Also, EZ2 full playthrough would be a big undertaking and I'm not in the headspace to do so right now. I don't want to say no but it's also not on the top of my priority list right now. Sorry for the bad news!
"I'd love to get a few more of these encounters up for sure."
For sure, yes!
Glad to hear! I might get a few more short videos of this game up in the near future.
A surprise to be sure.
But a welcome one
I'll bet :)
Great fight, but the one form chapter 8 where we finish Leviathan off is even better. It's also nice they reckoned it that The Slug was Leviathan that survived the first fight. Slug from the original just appeared out of nowhere and was kinda forgettable and boring
Yeah, I really dug that change to make the Slug the Leviathan. Things like that I really appreciated in the remake.
According to the wiki, in the remake the slug is replaced with the leviathan remnant, the second form of the leviathan.
@@yapyapthedestroyer2562 It was possible that The slug from the original was also a Leviathan who mutated further after the fight in chapter 6
@@Mintor94 true, and that was an actual theory people had on the slugs origin. Some others included the spider boss from extraction, having mutated after death. Or that the spider boss survived, clung on, and later evolved into the slug. The leviathan was also a possible candidate, but most thought not due to it dying. But the remake made it so, and the leviathan’s more memorable anyway.
cool. have you played SOMA or the SH2: enhanced edition? i think you'd enjoy those
Nope, though I too have heard good things about those games. Just about finding time to do so!
@@Sexy_Nutella SOMA from Frictional Games? It's... let's just say it has cool visual design, but less than stellar plot. And literally every side character was more interesting compared to protagonist. Starting playing, but ended watching playthrough.
Vaya no me esperaba este nuevo juego, jamás lo e visto pero se ve increible. Cuando lo vas a jugar *Sexy Nutilla?*
Probablemente no haré un juego completo en el corto plazo, ¡pero me interesaría subir más videos cortos de este juego!
@@Sexy_Nutella oh te entiendo perfectamente👍🏼.
06:12 - OK, nice foreshadowing here, devs. While new version of Kyne is not as impressive compared to original, Cross with her expanded role was welcome.
I watched a complete playthrough of the remake of dead space, and compared to the original, I can't deny it's genuinely amazing. That being said... is it okay to be kind of disappointed in the remade Leviathan fight?
Model - it seems a lot more "stringy" compared to the original which, even for the graphics of the time, looked like a giant meat mass. Also thanks to the story changes you can see it's actually really small when ejecting it from the airlock. I kind of imagined in the original that it took up a ton more space in food storage we just couldn't see.
Sound Design - the leviathan sounds a lot weaker and more shrill than the original, where it had really beastly, loud cries. not that loud is necessarily good considering it could blow out your speakers in the original, but it just didn't have the same impact.
Music - the original leviathan track was iconic, no way around it. i know that makes me sound like a boomer, i'm not, i love the remake. but i think every track worth noting in the original (which isn't much, given how most of it is shrill horror sounds - i mostly just mean leviathan and hive mind) still exceeds the remake. maybe that's just personal preference.
Gameplay - I think it's neat how it was done with the new zero gravity system, although I don't think the tentacles are that much of a threat seeing as you can strafe them rather than having to leap to dodge them. the toxin addition during the last phase was interesting and i love seeing lore tie in with the gameplay like that, though i don't know how much of a threat it really was.
Presentation - the tunnel leading up to the bossfight was really dimly lit compared to the original. I don't think most people would actually look around to see that they're in the meat tube, which is a little disappointing. Though, the dramatic lighting changes to when the leviathan appears, as well as how the lights shift during the fight itself is really cool. i love that. ejecting the boss into space once the battle is done also feels way better than just leaving the corpse there to rot (wouldn't it just create more toxin? it's dead tissue of course it's gonna stank up the ventilation system and contaminate the ship)
it was my favorite part of the original, so it's a little sad. however, i think the devs more than made up for it with the leviathan remnant battle. brilliant idea, such an improvement on the original "slug" boss and i cannot complain about more leviathan screentime.
Thanks for the comment! I do have gripes with the remake, the sound design being one part of it as you've mentioned. Enemies like the Exploder and Divider don't sound as great as they did in the original, as do the Pulse Rifle and even Plasma Cutter. I do agree that the game does many things right. The remnant battle was sick.
I want to try an Impossible run but I figure I should try a deathless Hard run first
Same here; I'm gonna do New Game+ and try not to die haha. Plus getting the alternate ending.
Dead space content, is it worth the 65 bucks?
It's alright. Tons of PC issues with performance and stuttering though. Great game marred by a meh PC port. Heard it's great on consoles though
half life 3 looks cool here
Agreed. I really like the reinvention of Gordon Freeman here
Half-Life followed by Dead Space? lol
To be fair you kinda get a gravity gun in Dead Space ;)
@@Sexy_Nutella yea in the form of Kinesis
