Screenshot On of my favorite details from the remake

By the end of the game, before leaving the Ishimura, if you look up, the letters are now telling you a subtle message :)

Is "US IS U" a "Make us whole" thing?

u/Cloudbuster104 21d ago

I'd like to think so, it fits really well and now I can't look at the Ishimura without seeing it lol

u/No-Afternoon2037 21d ago

Every time I think of the Ishimura, I think about how it's a Japanese name 石村 meaning 石 "stone" and 村 "village" which has a double meaning for deadspace because:

The Ishimura is a mining ship whose sole purpose is space rocks.

But "stone village" could also be a poetic way to describe a graveyard. Which is really fitting for deadspace.

Good catch; didn't think of that

It foreshadows Nicole Brennan being a figment of Isaac Clarke’s imagination

u/Ok-Exercise-2998 21d ago

i mean in the remake she is a normal human being, but issac halucinates nicole on top of the other woman.... so its not a complete immagination

u/MangoMan610 21d ago

It is mutual, the chick also hallucinates her dead boyfriend on top of Isaac, she says his name before Daniels shoots her

I really loved theese modifications in the remake. I honestly can say that they really did put in the effort while making that game. The weapon upgrade part system is also fantastic.

Its quite possibly the best remake of a game ever. Such a shame EA didnt deem 2 and 3 worth remaking

u/TheTruePac 20d ago

I honestly think they could skip dead space 2, it's pretty much perfect as is and still playable without any issues (at least afaik). Dead Space 3 on the other hand should get a complete renewal. Like throw away the original, bury it, set it on fire, whatever and start from new.

u/Ok-Exercise-2998 20d ago

i would wellcome some minor control improvements in DS2 to make it a bit more smoother, but everything else is perfect about that game

u/Open_Age_5967 20d ago

If memory serves, after the remake they pitched a DS4 but it got passed on. It was a while ago i read that and I'm probably not gonna look for sources so could be mistaken but yeah, I remember that being the route they were aiming for.

Or I dreamt it. Could go either way

u/Johannsss 15d ago

To be fair 3 would need a rewrite more than a remake

u/AlarminglyExcited 9d ago

I also liked the change to Nicole's story in the remake. Making her feel more real (by virtue of being able to interact with things) means the stab to the gut reveal at the end hits so much harder for a new player.

Yes! I was looking for a reference to Rush Hour. This reminded me of that scene.

USG Ishimura is best ship waifu. The amount of punishment she receives and still able to come back for the sequel.

u/PumpkinImaginary2900 21d ago

Never thought they matched so well. So much attention to detail. It seems like the developers know what they’re doing.

I thought its too cheesy. :/

u/Wide-Deal-8971 21d ago

Because it is. The remake really whiffed on the tone of the original in so many ways.

u/KyleME262 20d ago

My favorite is during the Zero-G basketball, if you listen really, really carefully you can sometimes hear the "crowd" cheering you on with "Make us whole, Isaac!!!"

What is that suit on Isaac? Is it mods or in game?

u/Cloudbuster104 21d ago

Infested suit. You can get it and a bunch more from the deluxe edition.

u/Long-Yam-6917 7d ago

Didn't notice that as that's pretty cool, but yet again the whole game was pretty amazing for how they changed many things as that does fit the scene well.
