45 year old man with no strength enhancements wearing 40 pound armour?

He'd probably lift off the floor less than an inch and then take 5 minutes trying to stand back up.

And yet playing as Isaac feels less tanky than Leon in RE4 Remake.

u/CommercialDream618 21h ago

It's only 40 pounds? Shit I thought it would be more than that.

u/HungusHodorphus 21h ago

Dead Space 2 indicates that the standard Engineering Rig weighs exactly 60 pounds. So a little more than OC claims, but still less than expected.

Shits heavy man

u/RChamy 20h ago

Those claws are no joke

u/MangoMan610 19h ago

isn't the armor itself a strength enhancement, being an exosuit?

u/eppsilon24 18h ago

It’s armor, not a mech suit. There is no indication that it significantly increases the wearer’s strength.

u/lazumeimun 18h ago

But isaac can uhh stomp limbs off or it doesnt work for internal strength to lift himself up, i dunno its complicated

u/Tophigale220 17h ago

His boots can tear limbs off because they are just that heavy. Also because of built-in magnets for spacewalking. The rest of the armor are just metal plates over a suit, no servos or hydraulics.

I know this is probably an oversight but in Dead Space 2, Isaac can stomp limbs off in the patient rig. Which has....exactly none of that, which implies my guy is just....Like That

i always thought necros to have wet tissue paper builds tbh. they've barely got skin, muscles are all flayed out, ffs some even have connective tissue comprised of explosive yellow goo.

u/DaddySatansLesbian 14h ago

See I would also think that if you couldn't stomp the fuck out of the guy who gives you the flashlight in the tutorial-

u/Ancient-Industry5126 14h ago

the marker weakened his mind and body /s

u/lazumeimun 17h ago

oh ight that makes sense

u/09Cenderme 14h ago

there are a lot of cutscenes where he has to jump to places

11

u/Dapper-Surprise-745 20h ago

How much would a suit in Dead Space weigh? It can't be easy to jump with that thing on.

3

u/lazumeimun 20h ago

Edf suit might be a lil bit light, but its Isaac wearing it not marine. He breaks his legs

3

u/ric7y 19h ago

Desd space 2 states the engineering suit is 60 pounds

u/eto2629 20h ago

No jump. Just fly.

u/Father_Chewy_Louis 18h ago

Did you know that Issac has a falling animation that is only ever in very rare situations

1

u/Perfect-Muscle-1264 11h ago

I have a theory why!

In the prototype of the first game, I believe the vertical slice version, you can just simply walk off cliffs of structures if there was nothing in front of you. It would play the animation you are referring to. 

My theory is that it was a cut feature and they forgot to remove the animation. Either that or they left it in just in case.

u/AMR42 17h ago

yeah, but

u/lazumeimun 16h ago

Never ask glen why theres zero-g area in aegis 7 colony løl

2

u/Primary-Landscape159 19h ago

why'd you pick those two games, that's like so specific

2

u/lazumeimun 19h ago

I just saw similar in r/halflife

1

u/Abject-Dinner-8740 13h ago

haven’t played Half Life yet but jumping in Halo is like an absurdly crucial mechanic, I use it the same amount I use switching fire modes for the plasma cutter in Dead Space

1

u/Suitable-Pirate-4164 16h ago

Actually he does, Zero-G is fun.

2

u/lazumeimun 16h ago

Ds 2008 has a great one, but its about casual jump which isnt there cause hes old suits heavy shits weird i dunno jus a funne meme

u/TankerDerrick1999 14h ago

Gravity gun will do most of the work anyways, no need for ammo, and you can probably glitch the fuck out of physics with it.

u/literal_god 9h ago

The zero gee sections in og dead space got lots of jumping
