What would have changed if Isaac had died in that elevator?

What would have changed if Isaac had died in that elevator?

Let's pretend that the elevator door did not slam back at the necromorph and Isaac was slain right in that spot. Would that be better for the DS universe at all?

We know that in the first game Isaac in the main driver on the events. Without him the most probable course of action is that everybody dies, the Marker stays on the Ishimura and it's air is completely poisoned by the Leviathan in Hydroponics, and then the ship crashes down on Aegis 7, potentially killing the Hive Mind and destroying the Marker.

So, Valor eventually finds Aegis 7, maybe finds evidence of the outbreak, potentially nukes the place for good measure and perhaps retrieves bits and pieces of Marker 3A (or maybe EarthGov sends more forces later to find it).

Does it change anything for better or worse? Could Tiedemann build another Marker on Titan, considering that there were other architects? Does it mean that there's no one to stop Danik later on?

I'm really curious what you guys think.

Should I replay the Dead Space trilogy?

So I am a massive Dead Space fan, and I replay the trilogy often, but I haven’t in a couple years. I’m neck deep in a lot of other games, but I’ve had the hankering to go back to slaying Necromorphs again. Should I give it a whirl once more?

So the markings actually have a meaning...

Not sure I am going to learn that language any time soon.

Does anyone have more info on these dog tags?

I’ve had these “dog tags” from Dead Space for a looooong time. I can’t bring myself to toss em because the effect is really neat and I love Isaac, but I also never wear them or have a suitable Dead Space-centric display to put them in.

I’m not certain, but I think I got these from Sony’s now-defunct Retail Partner Rewards program, maybe circa 2010-ish? I’d love it if anyone knows more about them, like if they were a regular promo item or something.

Gabriel Weller - Zealot RIG

I love this character as much as Isaac Clarke and John Carver, and I think EA was a of a jerk when they gave him a small DLC and not much time in Dead Space: Extraction.

They created a truly awesome character who'd been through hell, was willing to move mountains for his wife, and then just... Killed him? Seriously?

I'm kinda flabbergasted at how great the dead space remake is

I played dead space for the first time on my ps3 a few years ago before I had a ps4 (some time around 2018-2020) and there was sections in the remake where I could remember exactly what happened in the original just from how faithful the remake was to the original game. Dead space remake is also the only game that I have done a permadeath run in (granted it was pretty easy besides the 1 shot sections of the game lol) but the remake really just made me appreciate how good the design of the original game was. Obviously it's not a perfect one to one remake of the game (some of the alternate firing modes got changed like with the pulse rifle) but the changes that were made feel REALLY good (using the pulse rifle as an example again, the missiles it shoots can be really good in a pinch) and I absolutely adore the weapon upgrades.

Advanced Zealot RIG - Logan Clarke

A bit of lore:

Logan went to that ill-fated bunker, unaware that they were waiting for him. And it's not about the people, but about what's left of them.

Why don’t Necromorphs get stunned when I shoot them in DS3?

The game is really hard since some areas are closed off and there’s no room to fall back.

Yo, just started playing Dead Space (2008) for the first time and goddamn I've slept on this game so hard

I'm not even a fan of survival horror usually and trying to get into it so I got an EA Play subscription and I'm amazed by this game. It's dark and bloody and so atmospheric it's insane. The dismember mechanics are so cool and satisfying to pull off and the further I get I discover more and more cool mechanics like kinesis and stasis. What a game and I can't believe I still have 2 more to play AND a remake of the first one to play. Damn. What are the sequels like? I hear DS2 gets a lot of love but what's up with 3? I'm still playing it even if its weak.

Dead Space's genesis as a System Shock sequel can still be felt in the final product, says producer, but BioShock inspired the game’s last-minute mind-bending story

Just finished this game

It's an action - horror game and it's so peak

Reminds me of the pacing of dead space a bit since dead space is action based horror game too but the atmosphere is absolutely different

Recommend it heavily

Dead Space 1 scared me, but Dead Space 2 left me depressed

I finished Dead Space 2 today. I really liked it, but I felt Isaac’s pain regarding the guilt and suffering he carries over Nicole’s death. In the final stretch of the game, that becomes more and more evident, and somehow I ended up empathizing with him.

Isaac can’t fix anything. He can’t do anything except accept it. He even tries to save Ellie and sacrifice himself, not only because of some attachment to her, but almost as if he’s trying to redeem himself for something that wasn’t even his fault. I mean, how could he possibly have known about the Ishimura?

And for a moment, I started to think the hallucinations were some kind of echo of Nicole’s memory, but it really was the Marker influencing him from the very beginning. But what truly broke me was him accepting death while sitting beneath the Marker.

Anyway, 10/10 game, I enjoyed it a lot. Now I’m going to start Dead Space 3.
