I used to not being able to watch videos on this series after seeing the eye scene as a kid, but I'm happy to say that I got over my fear of that iconic scene.

this is sick! So well done, voice over and editing on point! Keep it up!!!

Regardless of your low sub or view counts, I absolutely love your long analysis videos, you have your very personable, yet objective and fair look at games as well as a good amount of jokes and memes spring around as icing on the cake. (Absolutely laugh my ass off with your jokes in the Prototype video, please do more of that in future videos lol)

Keep up what you're doing and also keep in mind there are always people out there looking forward to your content.

21:40 Something no Dead Space video that I've seen has ever mentioned, the syncing between the characters physically on the other side of the track and the video feed being piped directly to Issac. I played this scene, and rewatched videos of this scene, and am still impressed by how well those two are synced so that it actually looks like the video is live.

1:17:54 On the flip side, the ship you are on is MUCH older than the Ishimura. The lore being that these ships were from an expedition about two hundred years prior. Something that is shown at the start of the game when you take on the role of that soldier in the snow. So the fact that there are cumbersome ladders, the doors opening slowly and the speed of the airlocks compared to the first two games can be forgiven that the ship and later ground station are about two centuries old and well out of date. The rest of your criticism though is valid though. It does take way too much time for the work bench animations, and the elevator thing.

I love how good these videos are, wish there were 1,000 of them. So good to listen to while at work

Great video! Love the description!

great video

I love Dead Space 1, it's easily one of my favourite Survival Horror/Action Horror Games.

Happy Halloween to you too Salty shrimp

This comment ended up way longer than I thought it was gonna be, so please bear with me lol

Regarding your confusion at 45:08, while the obvious answer is that Visceral most likely hadn't given much thought about the Marker lore at the time of the first game, I think we can come to a reasonable explanation based on the information that came after. The phrase "Make Us Whole" is revealed in the sequels and novels to basically mean fulfilling the Marker's desires and pushing it towards achieving Convergence, so we must assume that placing it on the pedestal somehow helps it achieve that.

The reason why, when you place it there, the Necromorphs die around you is made clear in one of the backstory text logs that you get after completing the game. It's told from the perspective of one of the doctors involved in the initial experiments with the Marker on Aegis VII who mentions that his team discovered that while the Marker creates Necromorphs, it also creates a small "dead space" field around itself that forces any Necromorphs inside it into dormancy. After the outbreak, the doctors start building the pedestal in an attempt to "broaden the Marker's signal", which would in turn broaden the dormancy-inducing field around it and allow them to reach the landing pad and escape the planet. It's mentioned that the idea for this pedestal was presented to one of the scientists in the form of a vision from the Marker. Obviously, we know the Marker induces visions to further its own goals, so it's safe to assume that by broadening and strenghthening its signal, the pedestal may be what the Marker needed to initiate Convergence, and it tricked the scientists into building it.

The reason that this "dead space" field even exists is unclear, and it can be easy to forget since it's never mentioned again in the sequels, but it does feature prominently in the novel Dead Space: Catalyst which came out around the time of the third game. The Marker in that book imprints its blueprints in the brain of one of the characters, much like what happens to Isaac, and it tells him to stay inside the field so that it can keep him safe. It later becomes clear that the Marker only wants to protect him so that it can use him as a means of reproduction when he gets off the planet and, just like Isaac, goes on to build more Markers.

In addition to all of this, we know that in order for a Brother Moon to be built, the Marker not only uses Necromorphs and dead bodies, but also chunks of the planet it is on. The Marker in the first game can't do much sitting on the Ishimura's cargo hold, thus it must be returned to Aegis VII if it ever hopes to start Convergence.

So yeah, that's my take on it. It was a combination of wanting to return to the planet so that it can be "made whole" through its pedestal and initiate Convergence, as well as wanting Isaac to live and escape so that he can build more Markers.

Ah dead space...my favorite horror game trilogy. Even 3 is fun for me though it's my least favorite. 2 is probably my favorite. I also wanna give you praise for your amazing reviews I just found as you may have seen by my recent comments. You manage to be informative without becoming background noise and add just enough humor. I'll be busy binging more of your videos so I hope you have a great day!

The unique events of the characters in dead space 3's co-op mode was and still is the best gameplay feature I've ever had the joy of playing with friends. Too bad there's nothing like that anywhere else.

8:02 As someone who loves Dead Space to death, I cannot express how happy the remake makes me. It couldnhave been a dosaster and it turned out being... Kinda better than the first game it's a remake of.

And this news that the art director of the 2nd game was on board makes me so happy as well. I didn't know that, but that explains a LOT why the Remake looks so freaking good and true to the art style of Dead Space, which art style means a lot to me.

It's why I'm actually not a huge fan of Titanfall 2 (among other reasons), because its art style became more generic vs the HEAVY gritty, industrial military style the first Titanfall went for.

Actrually, you can rotate camera in the first cutscene and see Isaac's face, duh

Around 38 minutes you said "Mercer spoke of a hive mind" and my mind went straight to Prototype 1 with Alex Mercer using the hive mind ability.

I think the Brethren Moons are the most lovecraftian threat I've ever experienced in a videogame, even if the delivery was a little bit underwhelming/confusing.

Now this was a series I enjoyed a lot. Also liked the remake, and REALLY hoping that this becomes a trend for this series, as it's one that deserves another shot. A lot of the problem with it wasn't just the budget of the games, as noted by some insiders, 1 and 2 ALSO included in their budgets the cost of two animated films(One is okay, one is garbage), a few limited issue comic series, and some novels.

So, basically, EA was trying to make the Mass Effect lightning, which saw its first three novels hit the best seller lists, AND actually hit, briefly, the top ten comics of the month on release for their tie ins. Ignoring, of course, that Mass Effect was a HUGE universe with a lot of moving parts, so we wanted to engage with stuff the games had hinted at. Meanwhile, of the projects for Dead Space, only the Altman book(which answers some of your questions, it's called Martyr).

Interestingly enough, the answer is...Unitology is a lie. All of it. Every word of their holy book was made up. Altman died to a proto brute trying to warn people about the markers, and EarthGov was formed using the marker derived tech(Stasis, Shock Drive, even the gravity control stuff), and started the Church as a means of control of the population. EarthGov and Uni are actually the same at the upper leadership level.

Of course, that's what bites them in the bottom in game 3. Not EVERYONE was aware of that, and those just under the leadership in the church, unaware of the connection, but high enough to have access to classified intel like the Marker lab locations, decided to go rogue and turn the markers on to start convergence, since THEY believe it will be a good thing, and think the upper echelons just got cold feet, rather than being aware of the lie.

That's another thing I was expecting you to bring up that you never did. If the markers on Earth have started convergence, WHY do they need to be told where it is, shouldn't they know? The Moons I mean. Of course, the reason is simple, EarthGov, back at the start, made flawed Markers, ones that aren't quite what they should be, as they experimented with them, creating things like the Red Marker(The original was Black, if you're curious).

So these ones don't work quite right, and they want to go help jumpstart the events on Earth, but they don't know precisely where that is, which is why they want Isaac to show them. That's also why the Red Marker wanted to stop this, it was made wrong, and knew what it was doing WASN'T what it was supposed to do, so it wanted to stop everything, rather than risk a bad moon being made.

I do also like this answer to the Fermi Paradox(If there are aliens, then where are they?). The alien moons 'seed' worlds with Markers, knowing that life eventually grows beyond its means, and the Markers, thanks to the Moons, are an infinite source of energy. Of course, what people don't realize until its too late is they aren't GENERATING the energy, they're RECIEVING it. The thing making it is the Brethren Moons, and they will take their pound of flesh for that power.

It's a nice, and very enticing, honey trap for any civilization that finds one. You see it, and it not only hits you with a signal that tells you to make more, showing you how, but it also has the element that even those unaffected are going to want more of these things, to help power their civilization, spreading them far and wide, until it's time for 'Convergence'.

Overall, a good video, and a great series. I actually kind of hope they continue with a remake of 2 instead of leaping to 4, especially with some small changes that could ripple out from the starting point in the remake.

I thought the second player was a hallucination? Or maybe I filled in stuff backwards with how the game with carver felt so weird? Perhaps it’s just cause I was a child? I thought it made sense with how people reacted to Isaac with him essentially fully talking to himself the whole game

I remember not being able to even get through the demo of DS1 on my ps3 as a kid. Now I cant wait to get paid so I buy the remake for my ps5!!
