Using Cross to change the Nicole twist to make it new to players of the original was great, and turned Cross into a tragic character used by the Marker, instead of a hologram.
I actually really loved that, I always thought it would be nice if we had people on the ship still alive helping Isaac, so Cross being alive and the two of them hallucinating their loved ones was a very nice touch
@@croom332Dr Cross is actually part of Isaac's hallucinations. Dr Cross is also alive. However as taken from the wiki: "Nicole had been dead the entire time and that the woman who spoke to him was actually Elizabeth Cross disguised through a hallucination created by the Marker" This also happens to Dr. Cross she starts to hallucinate as well and see's Isaac in her eyes as her former lover Jacob. Both Jacob and Nicole are dead. Isaac and Dr. Cross are falling under the influence of the marker and hence they see each other as their loved ones never knowing they're actually doing the markers will.
God I hope they remake Dead Space 2 I loved the art design of the church of unitology. It was actually beautiful 😍 Such a great game. I'm loving this remake. I'm currently on chapter 7, it looks incredible on my Series X 😊
Yeah, this Remake is phenomenal. I'm playing on my PC with an AMD Ryzen 7950X and RTX 3070 on a 1080p 240Hz monitor with everything on Ultra graphics with 120+ FPS and the game is so crisp 👌
There's actually an alternative ending on New Game + which involves collecting 12 marker relics which changes the ending scene on the escape ship. I won't say what cause the ending is more or less another spin on how much Issac is affected by the marker.
@@reekhavoc2932 IIRC It shows Isaac and Nicole conversing with each other on Isaac's escape ship. Isaac is telling her how he is prepared to "make them whole".
"Alien civilization called necromorphs" Okay, that legit made me laugh. Ain't nothing civil about walking corpses that exist only to make more corpses.
In the remake it seems Kendra ain’t as bad as she was in the original. She seems to have more emotion in this one and possibly to really get rid of the marker
I really hope they keep remaking the main line games and make Dead Space 3 amazing, but leave the coop stuff to spin offs. Imagine a spin off coop game where you play as an earth gov spec ops team during the finding of the black marker. I really think they need to branch out the franchise for it to succeed, I'm so worried the remake won't sell well enough for EA to take it seriously. It's such an amazing remake let alone game.
@@moonunit7417 Oh for sure, but I disagree about throwing DS3 out completely. Sure the majority of the game and story but I liked the ideas it introduced. And the gameplay, the original vision for it the devs have spoken about sounds awesome. Problem is EA stepped in and said "Less horror, make the coop partner a gruff soldier type and introduce micro transactions" Dead Space 2 despite being a great game did not sell well at all. And from what I'm hearing the DS1 remake hasn't even sold half of what Callisto Protocol did... hopefully a DS2 Remake even gets taken seriously by EA.
@@darqshark3506 I do think there are some cool ideas to cherry pick from DS3, but the story over-all is kinda whack imo. I'm not sure where EA meddling begins and ends. I imagine replacing the babies with space dogs and the lame mummy-necromorphs were all EA, but do you really think they told them to assassinate Ellie's character and turn her into a focal point, a damsel in distress, and a human McGuffin? Actually, now that I think about it, they probably did. Still, studio meddling is no excuse. Troika was gutted and forced to release half a game and it is still the best game of all time
@@leonkennedy8932 i think he means the one un México, the one altman fought. If it is the one of aegis 7, well like You said, it is already covered. But maybe a DLC to update the extraction Moments with this new engine
I’d like the new extended backstory for Isaac Clarke. Because he blamed Nicole for his parents death while on top of that feeling responsible for Nicole’s death it’s going to add on to the amount of guilt he’s going to eventually have to confront in the Dead Space 2 remake just as his previous self did in the original.
This did not account the backstory laid out in the books. Dead Space:Martyr is amazing and its main protagonist is Altman himself, the "founder" of the Unitology religion. He is a scientist who was among the forst to research the Black Marker, the first part of the book is literally about its excavation from the Chizculub crater. SPOILERS Altaman was a good guy who did everything they could to stop the Marker and gov coverup. Altman dies in the underwater research facility but is monologued by the main bad guy that he will use Altmans research and discovery for greater purposes. He will make him a literal martyr, against all that Altman wanted. They killed the good guy and used his name to found a bad guy religious cult, with him as their prophet. Everyone only playing the games hates Altman without knowing his tragic story, thinking he was what the Unitologists want you to think.
I've seen a lot of people claim that Dead Space is trying to use the Unitology cult as a comparison with Christianity but even its name in addition to hefty membership payment and its suicide aspects link it more with a combo of Scientology and certain other infamous cults like Jim Jones and his own group's mass-suicide
Yeah I don't see any Christianity in it, even as a Christian. Afterlife is recurrent in most religions. It's more like an (very) extremist cult, as you said. Reminds me a little bit of indoctrination in Mass Effect.
Thank you for this! Amidst all the adrenaline it can be hard to follow the detailed narrative under the hood of this game. It's a really strong piece of horror writing.
Think about it this way: Even animals, from wolves to deer share many instinctual traits with humans. As well as their own natures, of course. That said, for all intents and purposes humanity is just another mammal on the planet. What sets us apart is the level of cognition we are capable of. I mean, Monkeys IRL can use tools effectively. That said, on to the fun part of the post! This was the game that made me completely, and utterly terrified of a children's rhyme. I still get a fight or flight response when I hear it, and I played the original Day 1.
The part I don't really get is that Isaac just doesn't watch the end of the video because he "blocked it out through guilt grief or the markers influence" that's pretty flimsy. Especially since Kendra seems to know that Nicole is dead the whole time. Doesn't really work as a twist.
Trust me look up the timeline video on dead space that has millions of views with Isaac and the marker on the thumbnail, that video is way better and goes in depth of all the multi media lore of dead space
I used the book as a resource, and had a friend who read the book double check it. As a note - there are some things in the remake’s lore that seem slightly different, so I used that as the primary resource. That said, happy to hear what I got wrong! I’d rather get things correct!
I bet when “Nicole” attacks you on the ship it’s an illusion, because she wasn’t there originally when you opened the ship the first time. Maybe, idk you can correct in the comments if I’m wrong which I probably am.
Metal Gear is my favorite lore. It's a little confusing at times but nowhere near the levels of confusion Kingdom Hearts has. I bought the 2.8 collection so I could try to catch up before I played 3, but little did I know that there was even more games, and way more lore than what was on that disc lol
No no ,Resident evil is a million times simpler in story. I just watched this vid and still dont completely understand the story of DS Resident evil is a legendary game you cant compare to any other
So who inititally created the markers? They don’t really tell you what alien race did it in the games. And I don’t think the bretheren moons are responsible for creating the firtst one
Thought the moons created them to fast track the transformation of planets to consume. From what I remember/understand. Haven’t played DS3 in a long time
There are no culprits other than the Brethen Moons themselves. Even the six mouthed tau volantis aliens were victims of the markers that already existed before their civilization.
from what I can remember the breatheren moons can't create markers so they influence other life forms to make them and then send them throughout the galaxy. so I guess the first marker was made by whatever unlucky alien race ran into the moons first
The marker was made by an ancient alien civilization billions of years ago and that's it, we don't know why they made them. But if you look up ds2 unused audio logs and go to Bonnie Worthington log you could get some lore on the marker but it's not Canon unfortunately
I thought those flying things turned the corpses into necromorphs? So how did the Chen necro turn all the soldiers?.. and where did the flying ones come from? They must have always existed somewhere.. the lore is a mess to be honest
@@fitzy28101, I'd suggest that you get Callisto Protocol. It doesn't deserve all the hate that you see on the internet. It's a solid game. And, the graphics are way better than Dead Space's. For me, Dead Space is a letdown. It doesn't look like a current gen game.
@goqu Thanks for the advice, When I seen Ign and others giving callisto a average score I knew it couldn't be that bad, I don't trust scores given by Ign.
The Necro Nicole.... Bro. U clearly are just a bandwagon jumper. It's a hallucination. And he never saw Nicole die in the video or he forgot or the marker influenced him. How could the marker influence him if he has never been anywhere near it until the events of this game. And stop saying the ships name your pronouncing it horrible. U do the entire thing is English then butcher the ships name time and time again.
As this is a video on Dead Space 1, I didn’t want to ruin that it’s a hallucination for people who haven’t played Dead Space 2 - as that’s the big reveal at the start of it. I have no idea how you pronounce Ishimura, but I’m definitely pronouncing it correctly.
Even when there’s monsters that can rip you apart, the most scariest beings are the religious humans who think its okay.
In the original, there is graffiti that reads, "INFIDELS"- no doubt that was removed ツ
@@TheSundayShooter no its still in the game
Don't forget the Goverment who is actually responsible for the creation of a red marker and covers it up.

I love that this game is a remake instead of a remaster, really took the time to improve upon the game instead of just reformatting for current gen
Describing the Necromorphs as an "alien civilisation" is really weird to hear; they're the furthest thing from a society I can think of.

They need to make a prequel based on the first marker incident.

dude isacc needs a beer after all that
Thank you for this!
Amidst all the adrenaline it can be hard to follow the detailed narrative under the hood of this game. It's a really strong piece of horror writing.
Calling the brethren moon/necromorphs a civilization is like calling a wild animal a human
Think about it this way: Even animals, from wolves to deer share many instinctual traits with humans. As well as their own natures, of course.
That said, for all intents and purposes humanity is just another mammal on the planet. What sets us apart is the level of cognition we are capable of. I mean, Monkeys IRL can use tools effectively.

This was the game that made me completely, and utterly terrified of a children's rhyme. I still get a fight or flight response when I hear it, and I played the original Day 1.
The fact that the necromirph in the first 2 seconds got it’s arm stuck on the railing while alive is surprising that the devs put in.
Great job dude 😉👍
game is epic. i want dead space 2 remake
I reckon that will eventually happen
Don't we all?
You got it all in 15 minutes? 💀 How much did you cut out?

Perfect timing - I just finished Dead Space
Trust me look up the timeline video on dead space that has millions of views with Isaac and the marker on the thumbnail, that video is way better and goes in depth of all the multi media lore of dead space
Watch it high and you'll understand the dead space lore and the marker. You won't regret
I'm enjoying the remake the immersion is something else.
This game is perfect for oled tv
It is. But I play I play on performance mode since the graphics are already plenty good enough for me 👍
Don’t know if I’d call the necromorphs a “civilization.”
Great video but whoever was playing Isaac during it was struggling something fierce 😂
so where is the black marker? why replicate it with the red? if they saw the effects the black one caused?
You lost me at “alien civilization called necromorph”🤣🤣
So arnt there other games did Isaac die at the end of this remake or was he just hallucinating it doesn’t make sense
If the original marker was found in the Gulf of Mexico, why wasn't the monster shizzle happening on earth? Have I missed something?
In the book, it basically got reburied. Never to be discovered again.
I played all the games and watched the anime and still didn't have a grasp on the story until this video
There is no anime for dead space lol. what are you on about
But why would Nicole want you to bring the marker back to aegis 7 and not back to earth
Remake dead space 2 and either make a remake of 3 that's a complete reimagining to make 3 a better game. Or just retcon 3 and make a whole new game
EYYYY DAVE! KNEW I RECOGNIZED THAT VOICE!
