This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, not a summary of the 3 games, but an entire explanation of the entire history and lore of the series. Thank you, the amount of work that went into these must be immense.
Nicole recognized that the brain waves are symbols and links it to the marker, decoded an alien language, figured out a cure, and was almost able to stop 1000s or years of the marker's destruction, but who would've thought that a single med kit would decide the fate of the galaxy. No wonder why Nicole had to die before the games started, she would've cured the infection within 5mins of the outbreak.
Also if Carver hadn't been so stupid in 3 by allowing the machine to be turned off, the Brethren moons wouldn't have been signalled to come and wipe out humanity.
@@HeloisGevit Firstly; the machine being turned off is a bad thing. He handed the codex to Danik who turned it off- but the more important part is that it's not even entirely his fault. Danik died almost instantly when the machine shut down, and there was like a solid minute and 30 seconds where they could have taken 5 steps to the right and hit the switch in the other direction- which they would do anyway after a whole chase scene and a boss battle- but they could've skipped all that. They could've completely avoided giving the moon enough time to contact its brethren, but they decided to be sentimental and dramatic for the "benefit" of the player instead. When I noticed it going through the game to get screenshot of the artwork, I was SCREAMING the whole time, it was RIGHT THERE.
@@tristanhalbert5813 I meant Carver was stupid because he enabled Danik to turn the machine off, I wasn't saying he should have allowed it, obviously not because that's what he ended up doing, damning humanity for an illogical reason.
@@HeloisGevit oh absolutely it was stupid, that much I agree with- but what I mean is that after the debris came down and killed danik, he, Isaac and Ellie all stood around and hugged each other while the machine was like 2 meters away. They had every opportunity to stop it but they were literally just standing around talking.
It’s insane how early in the timeline the black marker was causing all these visions, murders, and suicides way before the actual story events took off, even creating early necromorphs. Human intervention due to the events happening is the only reason why this went as far as it did, and in a scary sense, it was all inevitable, because that’s what the marker was designed and created to do.
It truly is awesome and terrifying. Especially when you consider that the Black Marker is personally responsible for mankind's evolution, by influencing their genetic code so a dominant intelligent spacefaring species would emerge that was capable of recreating the red markers and bringing upon a convergence, to birth yet again, another brethren moon. And that such a cycle has been going on for an unknowable and unbelievable amount of time across the universe. It's like crops, and a black marker is the seed. The black marker brings forth and nurtures the crop, and the red markers harvest them.
@@JjayNC8L and even worse? These necromorphes supposedly aren't the really bad things in that universe, said things even considered the brethren moons as prey. Or so the original devs claimed in an interview years back. I hope we get to see these really bad things in future games, as the series is getting rebooted.
All of these events even before the games started just for Isaac Clark to become the chosen one in the entire series is just amazing by how you make this in order. Thank you.
The amount of similarities between Altman and Isaac is perfect irony. - Hate unitology - Have the mental fortitude to stave off the marker signal - The marker uses visions their lovers to bait them - Both survive horrible situations just to be used to further unitology (Michael as a martyr and Isaac as the builder of a new marker) - Both are men of high intelligence and are in their 40s
I will always adore Dead Space. The setting, the gameplay, the story…. Hell, I even collected the comic book hardback!!!! Honestly, it’s hard not to miss this series….though I’m glad there’s spiritual successors coming out
Well bad news, Callisto Sucks Balls... BUT.. BUT... Dead space remake, such a great remake, for both new players and veterans alike, I'm telling ya, 7 hrs in already, already playin chapter 5, and there's so much new content, they worked it out so the comics, movies etc DO take place when they are intended to in the game as you play, and it all fits together like a glove... you deff gotta play it.
Out of all the zombie like outbreaks Dead Space is probably the most unique These things don't kill to eat or because they are scared They kill to infect, to spread, the Marker acting as their commander to spread No matter what, they will always come, it is inevitable, Apotheosis is upon us, Convergence will happen And all those who ain't dead, turned or god forbid, surviving after all the hell they went through will only know three words, marking them by the marker Make Us Whole The only other Zombie infection that is similar to the Necromorph infection is The Flood, the infection is different but their objectives are the exact same To kill To infect To spread

My teachers hated that those were the two books i read in school. One specifically asked me what is was about... She never questioned me again when i was reading. Loved the series. Edit: I've always loved how Michael altman is an unintended martyr. It was so much fun to read and see how things played out. Catalyst was such a quick read that i couldn't stop. I highly reccomend the read for anyone interested
The way they killed makes no sense. Martyrs usually die in a public way. Not being forced to fight a montser with a spoon by the very founders of the religion
The Church of Unitology is one of my most hated antsgonist organizations in fiction. Not only are you working to destroy humanity, you're so stupid that you believe you're saving it. You do that despite mountains of evidence that the Marker is a bad thing. To top it all off you're unimaginably incompetent that at every turn you're almost derailed by a single person each time. And somehow, despite everything you end up "winning". I truly hope somehow the truth was revealed to them in their last moments and every Unitologist was filled with complete horror at their own actions.
I like to thank of Unitology as the dark side of religion but without god in the mix. These guys from Church of Unitology are crazed zealots following blindly to a corrupted religion of the Marker that is the creator of humanity but clearly isn't. In the game series you can't find one decent person that isn't part of the Church of Unitology and tries to kill Issac for the Marker. Truly Church of Unitology is a lesson of conversion gone terribly wrong also messed up.
I watch dead space game plays all the time on TH-cam and still never get tired of them..the other day my homeboy came over and we played DS2. he couldn't get into but i was surprised of how fun it still is...I'm definitely about to replay 2 and 3(the copies i have)
Man, seeing how multiple games connect with eachother is so cool tbh, I never really thought about it and how events from one game can cause something else in another
Awesome video, collecting all the information for this comprehensive breakdown must have been super tough. Also I love how the call to like and subscribe at 1:12:10 , nice one!
Glad you made this cuz this was *_*EXACTLY*_* what i was looking for with all the different pieces of media put on a timeline and how theyre interacting with one another and everything
This trilogy was amazing. I wish there were more games in the franchise. I feel like it was my first real introduction into horror because before this I used to hate horror. This franchise opened the gates wide open.
The work done on matching all of the games and films and putting it together in this format is amazing. Thank you. Def made this so much fun to watch as some of the material I myself never played or watched.
I feel bad for humanity at the end of Dead Space 3. I can only hope we eventually get a Dead Space 4 game, where at least we might be able to see if there are any survivors, or at least a rebel faction hidden underground.
FOR REAL BUT NOOOO WE GET A OLD REMASTERED DEAD SPACE GAME BY EA INSTEAD OF A 4TH BRAND NEW GAME THAT THE CREATOR OF DEAD SPACE HOPES GETS PICKED UP AGAIN BY EA! BUT NO THEY JUST CARE ABOUT A QUICK CASH GRAB BY ANY LOYAL DEAD SPACE FANS TO BUY IT AND FORGET ABOUT THR SERIES ENTIRELY FOR GOOD FFS MAN
You would think in 2023 there would be Dead Space 4 game or show or something to continue the story not just a remastered game a lot of people have played just with better graphics?
It really took a “fate of all life in the universe” twist in the final game and I can see why the series died off. The premise, the mystery, the horror are all amazing. Throwing in the cult unitologist stuff very cool. Even having a giant moon mass being the “convergence” is a cool concept. But damn it might as well just be a sequel to Halo at this point and have ancient aliens making a fail safe to wipe all necrotic tissue or something. The scales just light speeded in the span of a single game that multiple fleshy moons the size of earth is attacking earth. There’s no coming back from that. I think that’s sort of a hole a lot of existential horror stories fall into. It’s like how a really good story of a zombie outbreak in city or town, will lose the magic when the sequels end up leaning towards a world wide zombie pandemic.
Thats why when some director figures out the zombie magic is more at the start of the chaos and individuals storys of people, black summer on netflix did it well atleast in the first few episodes before everyone meets up, instead of trying to force a soap opera through the entire aftermath its the early zombie apocalypse thats the most interesting part
This is such a massive undertaking, and to fill in the timeline with canon but non-game material. This is a fascinating story from start to finish. Has it ever been officially discovered the true 'origins' of the Marker first found on Earth? Or any of them for that matter? It's not necessary, might be cooler if it dips into some Lovecraftian-esque "It comes from time/beings beyond human comprehension." Something so ancient there's no choice but for it to remain a mystery.
To this day, no one knows where the marker comes from, a corporation just discovered one in the ocean one day! It is implied that it has existed for a VERY long time too. It is the epitome of fear of the unknown which is the greatest motif in horror. The brethren moon (the marker’s end goal of creation) is a straight up Lovecraftian creature as well! Seeing one for the first time in game is pretty crazy, highly recommend checking out what they look like! Also, the creator of the game was heavily inspired and loved the space horror movie, Event Horizon, which I highly recommend because it’s one of my favorite horror movies as well!
@@youngrootv Oh awesome, thanks for responding! I love (no pun intended) Lovecraftian horror, it's such a specific feeling of dread. I'll have to add Event Horizon to my horror movie watch list. At 32 I think I'm finally brave enough to handle scary movies 😅
This is a bit of my own head-canon mixed with some theories I've read. The Black Marker was likely sent by the Brethren Moons (I am not sure if it has been confirmed whether they can make Black Markers or not, but considering their intelligence, I don't doubt they can) as a form of self propagation. That brings up a question, though. Considering that a Marker and a vast amount of biomass (which necessitates the presence of lifeforms) is required to make a Brethren moon, who made the first Black Marker? The answer is most likely an ancient alien civilization. Markers are not natural formations in the universe, they are fabricated. There could have been an unknown number of applications an advanced alien civilization could have first invented the Marker for. It radiates harness-able energy which can solve the energy crisis and yet it causes untold violence, mayhem, and destruction. With that in mind, the first one ever made could have been a Doomsday Weapon used by one alien civilization on another in an intergalactic war. It could have been sent stealthily or even readily given as a "peace offering". Upon reaching its target, it would spell the end of all things on the planet it was used on before forming a Brethren Moon to kill the rest of the target alien civilization. Unfortunately for whoever the creator was, the Brethren Moon is smart enough to know its existence is an existential threat to sentient lifeforms in the known universe. If whoever built it originally had no way to ensure control over what they made, their own creation would devour them as well. Alone, yet with the knowledge of its creators, it could then propagate so it would never be alone. After all, who wants to be alone in Dead Space?
@@Listening_Books12345Event Horizon is so, SO good. It's a mind trip from start to finish. You'll like it. I like it and I'm pretty iffy with horror; I can handle psychological horror like Hereditary no problem, but slashers and lots of gore turn me off. I can't play Dead Space because it was way too intense for me, but I love the lore. Videos like this allow me to get the story without having to suffer through trying to play the games myself. I tried Dead Space and nearly broke my ex's PlayStation 3 trying to play it. He had the controller plugged in and something scared me so much I jumped a mile and nearly pulled the entire console off the shelf. I was like, "Nope. I'm good. I'm going to bed. F**k this game goodnight!"
This is incredibly accurate. I have read all the books, played all the games and even dove deep on the online forums. I’ve even played the mobile game. You sir have done your research well and I amend you
This was a fine re-entry into the series. I appreciate you covering the pieces I never had the chance to look over like the mobile game and the books/comic-books.
I've got to say, this is by far one of my favorite videos for Dead Space and it's simply a timeline! I have read a few of the books and love the whole lore and backstory to the original game, and I've been waiting for a clear representation/storyline about the Dead Space main story along with the spinoffs, movies and books. Bravo!! 👏👏
This is the first time in a long time that a long video like this captured my attention all the way through (without me just playing it back in the background while gaming etc.), especially since I didn't know this channel before. This is incredibly well made!
Is no one talking about the brilliance of "Like, comment and subscribe to suggestive gaming" just before the 1:12:17 mark? (and a few other times before that!) This was amazingly done! I'm almost hitting half way point! I'm definitely subbing to you, the work you put into this video alone is amazing, I usually pop a video on and have it as bg noise but this? I couldn't look away for a moment! keep up the awesome work! :D
I think it was a missed opportunity not having Lexine and her child even alluded to in DS3. I really feel like the two plotlines should have come together by then.
it's kind of crazy how well all the prequel materials for ds1 fit together, the only real conflict being the somewhat confusing timeline between Nicole's distress signal and the kellion already being on the way as the Extraction characters were leaving
What an unreal listen. So much depth and detail. Once I saw the blood smeared 'Subscribe' on a wall in your video, I subscribed instantly. Amazing work.
I really love this video, it must've taken lots of hours to bring it all together. You are, a legend. What I am also HIGHLY impressed is the Studio and developers and the writers that did all the content and spread the content to other like minded people to make all these games and stories in their different mediums. AND THEN its all interwoven together to bring about this story, which is mostly horrible in the lives and those that are affected and lost. Lets be real here, its a horrible upon horrible situation...it's not happy stuff. But, its compelling. It's why the Dead Space trilogy is in my Top 5. I wonder, now that the new remake is coming, will it do DS2 and DS3? Again, well done SG, you are a legend for making this. (and of course, my thanks to those that worked with you and assisted)
The amount of times I come back to this video almost weekly for sleep aid is probably not very healthy. I can’t be made whole if I keep falling asleep before finishing the video.
Wow this was a great informative timeline and thank you for putting this together. I know it wasn't easy but I am glad it worked out for you and this video.
awesome channel you really go above and beyond to explain the lore chronologically like damn not a lotta people put that much effort forward, good video
Great cover of the entire dead space timeline. The lore was always so interesting to me because of the alien marker and what it does to humans. Hopefully in a 4th game we'll finally know who made the marker
There’s no indication that the new game is a reboot. It is a remake covering the same story as the first game. But the comment you’re replying to was referring to a hypothetical sequel to Dead Space 3 that will hopefully happen some day.
@@SuggestiveGaming yes exactly! The creator of the dead space Franchise said that he would like the game to get a reboot so he could work on Dead Space 4 in which I heard the story would be Isaac Clark and Ellie planet hopping fighting through varies necromorphs destroying markers on planets. But I wonder what he would do for earths side of the story. Because nukes ain't destroying the brethren moons and humans are pretty much F*cked that ending seemed so hopeless for humanity. 4 moons coming at the whole planet wow lol
@@lsd-rickb-1728 tbh I kinda like the downer ending for the series. humanity may be the last item on the menu for the brethren moons. then the entire galaxy truly is just a bunch of dead space.
I’ve been wanting to get into this series for such a long time, but never had the opportunity to do it until now, and it’s honestly so cool learning about all of the story that goes into it. Thank you for making this and educating me! :)
Dead Space is one of my favorite franchises of all time, and this timeline video was an absolute treat. Your work was definitely worth the effort for quality like this!
Normally in a horror setting you don't wanna be the profesional, a black guy, a blonde, the jackass, the one in a long distance relationship or the one who can't wait to see their kid again, etc, etc. But in Dead Space you just really don't wanna be a nurse lol
Wow… just wow. Thank you so much, I was desperately wanting to know the whole lore of dead space and you absolutely hit the nail on the head. This is some fine work! Keep it up!
I genuinely hope 3 is the end of the DS series, or that they retcon it. The Brethren Moons are a God entity that the characters have no ability to fight whatsoever. Outside of a literal act of God, there's no way humanity survives once the moons found Earth.
I'm sure someone has pointed this out already but I love that whenever there's scribbling on the wall you always manage to sneak in a plug for your channel
One of those videos, where I put it on, thinking it might be nice background noise, and then I become heavily invested, and end up sitting by my phone like my parents around a radio.
this entire franchise is basically halo, but instead the flood are the primary antagonist. I’ve listened to this over and over again, and it’s really engaging. Especially because it takes a good hour and a half before we’re even introduced to Isaac. It gives us A LOT of details of how the church of unitoligy was created, and how the markers first showed up.
I love how their subconscious wants them to know the marker is not to be trusted. Many people who dream in real life has those experiences with dreams aswell. Its simply the subconscious.
My guy got it right AND in order. I've listened to SO MANY different "timeline" videos by people who DON'T KNOW what they're talking about 🤣🤣🤣 THIS was the absolute perfection major networks look for. Outfrigginstanding, buddy! How long did this take you to put together?
So many timeline videos? Like? I only saw one other and it only cover the pivotal events in the series (the games) which wasn’t essential bad just brief.
What a ride....never knew it went further than the basic games, and so far youve been the only one ive seen to cover the whole lore... And i loved the animation that seemlessly flowed with your narration into the FULL timeline...thankyou 👍
You guys did such a great job with this! You guys did so good I actually had to go back and watch it twice because I felt like I missed some stuff! Keep it up!
I will forever die angry about the ending of the Altman book. Knowing that the dude not only didn't believe in the marker but was trying to stop it only to end up being the public face of the WHOLE FAITH?! That book broke me back in the day.
Poor Lexine, had to go through two fucking outbreaks, work towards finding a shuttle to escape, only to have one of her party lose a limb and die in the process...
I just finished streaming the Callisto protocol and absolutely love that game. It was nothing like I’d ever played before. But soon later found out that dead space was very similar. I am so excited to be playing that game next week and see the comparison between the two games 😃😃 hope it blows my mind away as everyone says it will and make me play the other 2 games after I’m done with Dead Space remake! 😎 can’t wait!
tbh if you liked callisto protocol, i think you'd really like the dead space franchise. im pretty sure they were created by the same people?? could be wrong but i swear i heard that. i hope you enjoy but dead space 1 is definitely terrifying at points. i hope the remake keeps the same feel
Dead space is better, several times over. If you think Callisto Protocol is better, it’s probably because it’s your first DS-like game you’ve ever played.
It's a very well crafted video, thank you very much! I wasn't interested in Dead Space lore at all but when I saw the length of your video I gave it a try and I liked it.
I recently saw videos on the flood vs necromorphs and your video really helped me understand the symptoms of this afflicted with the virus before becoming necromorphs. I have to say, a clash between the two would be cool, but I’d argue that if they worked together, their union would terrorize the universe. See if you use precursor powder in the construction of a marker, the purest material the flood manifests from, you’d have the neural physics of the flood manipulating the functions of the marker, displaying messages to those afflicted that are both of the symbols and joining in singing victory everlasting. When the marker’s signal starts, instead of people killing themselves, they instead gather at the marker to receive infection forms so they can “become”. Those in the initial gathering become biomass accumulation all over the marker. The flood’s ability to gather all info from the victims gathered in this biomass will then help it formulate tactics to broadcast to its flooded necromorphs.
What series would you like to see me cover next?
Mortal Kombat, Pokémon or Dark Souls...
What about Bioshock series?
wolfenstein Pls i will like to see
Metal Gear
Idk if you have but the whole gears of war series would be cool.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, not a summary of the 3 games, but an entire explanation of the entire history and lore of the series. Thank you, the amount of work that went into these must be immense.

Short summary:
A guy named Isaac has a really bad day
Accurate
The amount of similarities between Altman and Isaac is perfect irony.
- Hate unitology
- Have the mental fortitude to stave off the marker signal
- The marker uses visions their lovers to bait them
- Both survive horrible situations just to be used to further unitology (Michael as a martyr and Isaac as the builder of a new marker)
- Both are men of high intelligence and are in their 40s
You’re noticing the wrong similarities - the second one is the way to go with how theyre alike

Books are supposed to be something you like to read not forced to.
The way they killed makes no sense. Martyrs usually die in a public way. Not being forced to fight a montser with a spoon by the very founders of the religion
@@mihaimax2180 sadly most schools do the latter
The Church of Unitology is one of my most hated antsgonist organizations in fiction. Not only are you working to destroy humanity, you're so stupid that you believe you're saving it. You do that despite mountains of evidence that the Marker is a bad thing. To top it all off you're unimaginably incompetent that at every turn you're almost derailed by a single person each time. And somehow, despite everything you end up "winning". I truly hope somehow the truth was revealed to them in their last moments and every Unitologist was filled with complete horror at their own actions.
Yep. Unitology is just Scientology mixed with Heaven’s Gate mixed with People’s Temple mixed with Weyland-Yutani.
I like to thank of Unitology as the dark side of religion but without god in the mix. These guys from Church of Unitology are crazed zealots following blindly to a corrupted religion of the Marker that is the creator of humanity but clearly isn't. In the game series you can't find one decent person that isn't part of the Church of Unitology and tries to kill Issac for the Marker. Truly Church of Unitology is a lesson of conversion gone terribly wrong also messed up.
CoU had a spy on all organization and i was hoping for some good organization put a spy on CoU
Still a great game to play even now, the jump scares, the silence of floating through space looking for air canisters, always loved it
I watch dead space game plays all the time on TH-cam and still never get tired of them..the other day my homeboy came over and we played DS2. he couldn't get into but i was surprised of how fun it still is...I'm definitely about to replay 2 and 3(the copies i have)
Man, seeing how multiple games connect with eachother is so cool tbh, I never really thought about it and how events from one game can cause something else in another
Listening to all these story recaps during work makes the days fly by man. I love listening to these.
Awesome video, collecting all the information for this comprehensive breakdown must have been super tough. Also I love how the call to like and subscribe at 1:12:10 , nice one!
💯 hilarious 😂
Glad you made this cuz this was *_*EXACTLY*_* what i was looking for with all the different pieces of media put on a timeline and how theyre interacting with one another and everything
This trilogy was amazing. I wish there were more games in the franchise. I feel like it was my first real introduction into horror because before this I used to hate horror. This franchise opened the gates wide open.
The amount of dedication you put into these timeline videos is amazing. Nice work, this is awesome. ❤️😎👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
My Goodness the work and love put into this video 😭😭😭 I'm so sad that the video ended, this man deserves everything
The work done on matching all of the games and films and putting it together in this format is amazing. Thank you. Def made this so much fun to watch as some of the material I myself never played or watched.
Dead Space is my favorite horror franchise and you sir did an amazing job covering it!
Agreed!
I feel bad for humanity at the end of Dead Space 3. I can only hope we eventually get a Dead Space 4 game, where at least we might be able to see if there are any survivors, or at least a rebel faction hidden underground.
FOR REAL BUT NOOOO WE GET A OLD REMASTERED DEAD SPACE GAME BY EA INSTEAD OF A 4TH BRAND NEW GAME THAT THE CREATOR OF DEAD SPACE HOPES GETS PICKED UP AGAIN BY EA! BUT NO THEY JUST CARE ABOUT A QUICK CASH GRAB BY ANY LOYAL DEAD SPACE FANS TO BUY IT AND FORGET ABOUT THR SERIES ENTIRELY FOR GOOD FFS MAN
You would think in 2023 there would be Dead Space 4 game or show or something to continue the story not just a remastered game a lot of people have played just with better graphics?
Man I can’t imagine a bleaker depiction of human resistance than humans living in the shadow of the brethren moon
Well it's nigh impossible to hope for DS4 especially after the introduction of the remake
@@TheReZisTLust To me, yes.
This was amazing, man. Never occurred to me how interlaced the lore was to itself, even outside of the main games
Holy smokes...awesome video. Took me a while, i watched it as a pre sleep habit. Insane how much work must've gone into this. Well done.
It really took a “fate of all life in the universe” twist in the final game and I can see why the series died off. The premise, the mystery, the horror are all amazing. Throwing in the cult unitologist stuff very cool. Even having a giant moon mass being the “convergence” is a cool concept.
But damn it might as well just be a sequel to Halo at this point and have ancient aliens making a fail safe to wipe all necrotic tissue or something. The scales just light speeded in the span of a single game that multiple fleshy moons the size of earth is attacking earth. There’s no coming back from that.
I think that’s sort of a hole a lot of existential horror stories fall into. It’s like how a really good story of a zombie outbreak in city or town, will lose the magic when the sequels end up leaning towards a world wide zombie pandemic.
Thats why when some director figures out the zombie magic is more at the start of the chaos and individuals storys of people, black summer on netflix did it well atleast in the first few episodes before everyone meets up, instead of trying to force a soap opera through the entire aftermath its the early zombie apocalypse thats the most interesting part
This is such a massive undertaking, and to fill in the timeline with canon but non-game material. This is a fascinating story from start to finish. Has it ever been officially discovered the true 'origins' of the Marker first found on Earth? Or any of them for that matter? It's not necessary, might be cooler if it dips into some Lovecraftian-esque "It comes from time/beings beyond human comprehension." Something so ancient there's no choice but for it to remain a mystery.
To this day, no one knows where the marker comes from, a corporation just discovered one in the ocean one day! It is implied that it has existed for a VERY long time too. It is the epitome of fear of the unknown which is the greatest motif in horror. The brethren moon (the marker’s end goal of creation) is a straight up Lovecraftian creature as well! Seeing one for the first time in game is pretty crazy, highly recommend checking out what they look like!
Also, the creator of the game was heavily inspired and loved the space horror movie, Event Horizon, which I highly recommend because it’s one of my favorite horror movies as well!
Kiinda like the Engineer from Alien before Scott Effed it up?
@@youngrootv Oh awesome, thanks for responding! I love (no pun intended) Lovecraftian horror, it's such a specific feeling of dread. I'll have to add Event Horizon to my horror movie watch list. At 32 I think I'm finally brave enough to handle scary movies 😅
This is a bit of my own head-canon mixed with some theories I've read. The Black Marker was likely sent by the Brethren Moons (I am not sure if it has been confirmed whether they can make Black Markers or not, but considering their intelligence, I don't doubt they can) as a form of self propagation. That brings up a question, though. Considering that a Marker and a vast amount of biomass (which necessitates the presence of lifeforms) is required to make a Brethren moon, who made the first Black Marker?
The answer is most likely an ancient alien civilization. Markers are not natural formations in the universe, they are fabricated. There could have been an unknown number of applications an advanced alien civilization could have first invented the Marker for. It radiates harness-able energy which can solve the energy crisis and yet it causes untold violence, mayhem, and destruction. With that in mind, the first one ever made could have been a Doomsday Weapon used by one alien civilization on another in an intergalactic war. It could have been sent stealthily or even readily given as a "peace offering". Upon reaching its target, it would spell the end of all things on the planet it was used on before forming a Brethren Moon to kill the rest of the target alien civilization. Unfortunately for whoever the creator was, the Brethren Moon is smart enough to know its existence is an existential threat to sentient lifeforms in the known universe. If whoever built it originally had no way to ensure control over what they made, their own creation would devour them as well.
Alone, yet with the knowledge of its creators, it could then propagate so it would never be alone. After all, who wants to be alone in Dead Space?
@@Listening_Books12345Event Horizon is so, SO good. It's a mind trip from start to finish. You'll like it. I like it and I'm pretty iffy with horror; I can handle psychological horror like Hereditary no problem, but slashers and lots of gore turn me off. I can't play Dead Space because it was way too intense for me, but I love the lore. Videos like this allow me to get the story without having to suffer through trying to play the games myself. I tried Dead Space and nearly broke my ex's PlayStation 3 trying to play it. He had the controller plugged in and something scared me so much I jumped a mile and nearly pulled the entire console off the shelf. I was like, "Nope. I'm good. I'm going to bed. F**k this game goodnight!"
Just wanted to say that this was incredibly well made and thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I respect how much time and effort was put into this monster of a video. Thank you, and well done, it deserves more recognition
This is incredibly accurate. I have read all the books, played all the games and even dove deep on the online forums. I’ve even played the mobile game. You sir have done your research well and I amend you
Gamepass just freshly renewed today, downloaded DEAD SPACE 1,2,3+Remaster lets GOOOOOO💃🏻
Remake not Remaster and if you're on Xbox One then you won't be able to play the Remake.
This was a fine re-entry into the series. I appreciate you covering the pieces I never had the chance to look over like the mobile game and the books/comic-books.
Take a shot every time he says attacked by necromorphs lol great vid tho Ty so much
I've got to say, this is by far one of my favorite videos for Dead Space and it's simply a timeline! I have read a few of the books and love the whole lore and backstory to the original game, and I've been waiting for a clear representation/storyline about the Dead Space main story along with the spinoffs, movies and books. Bravo!! 👏👏
This is the first time in a long time that a long video like this captured my attention all the way through (without me just playing it back in the background while gaming etc.), especially since I didn't know this channel before. This is incredibly well made!
It's captivating
Is no one talking about the brilliance of "Like, comment and subscribe to suggestive gaming" just before the 1:12:17 mark? (and a few other times before that!) This was amazingly done! I'm almost hitting half way point! I'm definitely subbing to you, the work you put into this video alone is amazing, I usually pop a video on and have it as bg noise but this? I couldn't look away for a moment! keep up the awesome work! :D
i never thought i was interested in the Dead Space lore, and i never knew it has such deep lore. it was an interesting and educative watch!
This was absolutely FUDGING AMAZING!!!! The thoroughness and detail to string all the lore together, FUDGING BADASS. Great job.
You can say fuck on the internet. Your parents won't hear you.
I think it was a missed opportunity not having Lexine and her child even alluded to in DS3. I really feel like the two plotlines should have come together by then.
it's kind of crazy how well all the prequel materials for ds1 fit together, the only real conflict being the somewhat confusing timeline between Nicole's distress signal and the kellion already being on the way as the Extraction characters were leaving
What an unreal listen. So much depth and detail. Once I saw the blood smeared 'Subscribe' on a wall in your video, I subscribed instantly. Amazing work.
I really love this video, it must've taken lots of hours to bring it all together.
You are, a legend.
What I am also HIGHLY impressed is the Studio and developers and the writers that did all the content and spread the content to other like minded people to make all these games and stories in their different mediums. AND THEN its all interwoven together to bring about this story, which is mostly horrible in the lives and those that are affected and lost.
Lets be real here, its a horrible upon horrible situation...it's not happy stuff.
But, its compelling.
It's why the Dead Space trilogy is in my Top 5.
I wonder, now that the new remake is coming, will it do DS2 and DS3?
Again, well done SG, you are a legend for making this. (and of course, my thanks to those that worked with you and assisted)
That's why I don't like EA.. bought what they saw was profit opportunity. Then just gutted and left dead space to die.
The amount of times I come back to this video almost weekly for sleep aid is probably not very healthy. I can’t be made whole if I keep falling asleep before finishing the video.
Who the heck thought it was a good idea to name a colony “New Roanoke”? That’s begging for something to happen. Like naming a boat the New Titanic.
Wow this was a great informative timeline and thank you for putting this together. I know it wasn't easy but I am glad it worked out for you and this video.
awesome channel you really go above and beyond to explain the lore chronologically like damn not a lotta people put that much effort forward, good video
Great cover of the entire dead space timeline. The lore was always so interesting to me because of the alien marker and what it does to humans. Hopefully in a 4th game we'll finally know who made the marker
you know its a reboot right
There’s no indication that the new game is a reboot. It is a remake covering the same story as the first game.
But the comment you’re replying to was referring to a hypothetical sequel to Dead Space 3 that will hopefully happen some day.
@@SuggestiveGaming yes exactly! The creator of the dead space Franchise said that he would like the game to get a reboot so he could work on Dead Space 4 in which I heard the story would be Isaac Clark and Ellie planet hopping fighting through varies necromorphs destroying markers on planets. But I wonder what he would do for earths side of the story. Because nukes ain't destroying the brethren moons and humans are pretty much F*cked that ending seemed so hopeless for humanity. 4 moons coming at the whole planet wow lol
@@lsd-rickb-1728 tbh I kinda like the downer ending for the series. humanity may be the last item on the menu for the brethren moons. then the entire galaxy truly is just a bunch of dead space.
@@lsd-rickb-1728 Humanity number one baby apes together strong we will throw shit at them and we will win.
This is my new favorite lore channel, its like reading an audio book your so good man! 😁 Awesome video!
Its weird they haven't made a Movie trilogy yet
Fantasic summary of the series. I had no idea Altman was such a chad and was ready to go up against a necromorph with a sharpened spoon.
You deserve way more subs mate, love your content! Thank you and keep up the great work!
I’ve been wanting to get into this series for such a long time, but never had the opportunity to do it until now, and it’s honestly so cool learning about all of the story that goes into it. Thank you for making this and educating me! :)
Man I love this franchise. It’s pretty cool how each story connects to each other with certain events tying into one another.
I have to say I love your videos. You have an amazing voice for storytelling and do an incredibly thorough job.
Thank you I really appreciate that
The hallucinations: "stop poking the marker, leave it alone it's evil"
The people: "poke it, try to get closer and start to think it's good"
pretty much
Dead Space is one of my favorite franchises of all time, and this timeline video was an absolute treat. Your work was definitely worth the effort for quality like this!
Normally in a horror setting you don't wanna be the profesional, a black guy, a blonde, the jackass, the one in a long distance relationship or the one who can't wait to see their kid again, etc, etc.
But in Dead Space you just really don't wanna be a nurse lol
The amount of effort put into this one video is among the most I’ve seen for a TH-cam video. Major props, man.
This is the first video of yours I've seen. It's impressive and I can see the work you've put into it
Thanks, I appreciate it!
“I’ll be covering the single player, because I have no friends”..
I felt this 😂
Same
S a m e
Shane wasnt even alive and he was still trying to save everyone 😭
Wow… just wow. Thank you so much, I was desperately wanting to know the whole lore of dead space and you absolutely hit the nail on the head. This is some fine work! Keep it up!
I genuinely hope 3 is the end of the DS series, or that they retcon it. The Brethren Moons are a God entity that the characters have no ability to fight whatsoever. Outside of a literal act of God, there's no way humanity survives once the moons found Earth.
I've got something to watch with a drink and treats tonight 😁
Glad to see an in-depth and long timeline of events of my favourite series.
I'm sure someone has pointed this out already but I love that whenever there's scribbling on the wall you always manage to sneak in a plug for your channel
This was the most comprehensive and interesting video on the Dead Space series. You did an amazing job. I am now a subscriber.
Much awaited and much appreciated! I love the work that you put into this summary! Can't wait for the next one!
More to come!
IT IS HERE!!
Altman be praised
The hard work you put into this is amazing, good job
One of those videos, where I put it on, thinking it might be nice background noise, and then I become heavily invested, and end up sitting by my phone like my parents around a radio.
Terrific summary. Even as an avid Dead Space fan there were some things that I didn't know even existed, like those trippy graphic novels.
this entire franchise is basically halo, but instead the flood are the primary antagonist.
I’ve listened to this over and over again, and it’s really engaging. Especially because it takes a good hour and a half before we’re even introduced to Isaac. It gives us A LOT of details of how the church of unitoligy was created, and how the markers first showed up.
I love how their subconscious wants them to know the marker is not to be trusted.
Many people who dream in real life has those experiences with dreams aswell.
Its simply the subconscious.
My guy got it right AND in order. I've listened to SO MANY different "timeline" videos by people who DON'T KNOW what they're talking about 🤣🤣🤣 THIS was the absolute perfection major networks look for. Outfrigginstanding, buddy! How long did this take you to put together?
So many timeline videos? Like? I only saw one other and it only cover the pivotal events in the series (the games) which wasn’t essential bad just brief.
@@DHworldwide185 shhhhhhh
“…because i have no friends” PLEASE 😭😂💀 awesome video as always! so underrated! i can tell these vids take a lot of work & research
Thank you so much!!
I like to think isaac is the reincarnation of altman and his will to stop the markers
I like that theory.
What a ride....never knew it went further than the basic games, and so far youve been the only one ive seen to cover the whole lore... And i loved the animation that seemlessly flowed with your narration into the FULL timeline...thankyou 👍
It’s so cool that the ishimura is so massive that so many stories can be happening subsequently
You guys did such a great job with this! You guys did so good I actually had to go back and watch it twice because I felt like I missed some stuff! Keep it up!
I had no idea this series had do much to it. Would make an amazing series of movies.
These are the movies.
Salute to all good characters that was just simply doing their jobs as a side main character, before Isaac Clarke.
Fell asleep while listening,, Had some wild space dreams! Thanks for a nice nap sir :)
I will forever die angry about the ending of the Altman book. Knowing that the dude not only didn't believe in the marker but was trying to stop it only to end up being the public face of the WHOLE FAITH?! That book broke me back in the day.
At least we know the crazy cultists always get what’s coming to them
I grew up with Dead Space, and I would like to see more series or movies out of Dead Space universe!
Poor Lexine, had to go through two fucking outbreaks, work towards finding a shuttle to escape, only to have one of her party lose a limb and die in the process...
Solid my man. I played these years ago and for whatever reason I've been wanting to get back into the series, this scratched my itch for now
Thank you so much for doing this , and doing such a good job of it , Incredible dedication and your synopsis skills are amazing
Thank you so much!
Amazing work putting all these stories together, Dead Space Lore is very rich with details I'm fascinated!
Excellently produced and highly entertaining! Liked and subscribed 🙌 Hoping for an eventual continuation of the series.
Every time you mention Sciarello I yell out SCIARELLOOOO!
I just finished streaming the Callisto protocol and absolutely love that game. It was nothing like I’d ever played before. But soon later found out that dead space was very similar. I am so excited to be playing that game next week and see the comparison between the two games 😃😃 hope it blows my mind away as everyone says it will and make me play the other 2 games after I’m done with Dead Space remake! 😎 can’t wait!
tbh if you liked callisto protocol, i think you'd really like the dead space franchise. im pretty sure they were created by the same people?? could be wrong but i swear i heard that. i hope you enjoy but dead space 1 is definitely terrifying at points. i hope the remake keeps the same feel
Dead space is better, several times over. If you think Callisto Protocol is better, it’s probably because it’s your first DS-like game you’ve ever played.
It's a very well crafted video, thank you very much! I wasn't interested in Dead Space lore at all but when I saw the length of your video I gave it a try and I liked it.
Highly enjoyable vid you have made here. Well done.
I love how dead space all fits together, intertwining with other books and games to tell a complete story
This was absolutely a treat! Well done man it was exciting an informative I love deep dives like these.
A 2hr suggestive gaming video? we eating good today!!!!
I recently saw videos on the flood vs necromorphs and your video really helped me understand the symptoms of this afflicted with the virus before becoming necromorphs. I have to say, a clash between the two would be cool, but I’d argue that if they worked together, their union would terrorize the universe. See if you use precursor powder in the construction of a marker, the purest material the flood manifests from, you’d have the neural physics of the flood manipulating the functions of the marker, displaying messages to those afflicted that are both of the symbols and joining in singing victory everlasting. When the marker’s signal starts, instead of people killing themselves, they instead gather at the marker to receive infection forms so they can “become”. Those in the initial gathering become biomass accumulation all over the marker. The flood’s ability to gather all info from the victims gathered in this biomass will then help it formulate tactics to broadcast to its flooded necromorphs.
