    The remake is actually good. I made it to chapter six of me writing this comment. Have around 5 hours under the belt. It's really really good. I didn't think I would ever say this but EA did good. Like huh. I am as surprised as you are.

    It always felt to me like the reason Kendra brings up the Marker first is that she realizes that it's going to be impossible to keep it secret. She also knows Isaac is deluding himself because she's seen Nicole's entire recording before the start of the game. She knows Isaac is going to hear the Marker, she knows it's likely to reach out to him, so she starts trying to play Isaac against Hammond to make him think Hammond is the bad guy so she can do her work uninterrupted. She probably even planned for him to die in Hydroponics.

      I always found it suspicious that the link to Hammonds rig kept going out every now and then in the first game, after playing it again it was giving Dana vibes from dead space 2 where she was pretending to lose signal etc, I believe Kendra was jamming Hammonds signal in several occasions in order to try amd take him out

    11:47 That armor is the "level 6" armor. It's not a continuation of the engineer suit but a completely new one called the military suit. Not DLC. You probably have that suit on impossible mode due to a bug. If you beat the game on a different file, and start a new game on impossible without shutting the game off, there's a chance you start with whatever suit you ended with on your last playthrough, even though it isn't NG+. It's a pretty common bug and I know people use it to make impossible a bit easier. That's likely what happened with your 14 year old save file.

    As a connoisseur of the finer elements of interactive storytelling, I was quite intrigued upon discovering that the first letters of the mission names in 'Dead Space' spell out the ominous phrase 'Nicole is Dead.' This subtle, yet profound, Easter egg serves as a testament to the intricate layers of meaning that the developers have imbued within the game, and I must admit, it is a thrilling sensation to be among the select few who have uncovered this hidden gem within the narrative.

However, i never played it. I 'm too much of a baby to play anything scarier than cod zombies and horror games have never really been up my alley anyway. One thing I would do for games like this is just research it and learn all these fun or not so fun facts about it, for example, the fact that the beginning letters to each of the chapters spells out "Nicole is dead" pretty cool. I love this channel, its cool to see your commitment to the concept throughout your play of all these games. Keep it up dude.

    Almost a year after the original game came out I was doing my own challenge series for beating different games on their hardest difficulties. I posted about it on Twitter at the time and the official Dead Space account told me to do it with the Plasma Cutter only. That Impossible run was incredibly fun and completing it after being challenged by Visceral Games themselves made me love the game even more.
    I completed both those two achievements (Tier 3 Engineer and One Gun) at the same time and that got me the full 1000 Gamerscore. Great memories and am looking forward to picking up the remake soon. Congrats on finally finishing out your own achievements!

    Fun fact; If you take the first letter of every chapter, it spells out “NICOLE IS DEAD”. Its quite a subtle but brilliant way to reveal the plot twist :^)
    Also, I’ve been trying to do the same thing that you’ve done with trying to beat the game before the remake released. Sadly, I didn’t manage to complete it on time. As of writing, I’m currently on Chapter 8. Still, once I complete the game Im hopping straight in to the Remake :^)
    Edit; Finished the game, now for the Remake :^)
    I’m surprised that you don’t like the Contact Beam. I can get why, its pretty situational. I only used it when I absolutely had to despite it always being in my arsenal. However, the Fully maxed damage contact beam is PERFECT for the Hive Mind and its tentacles. It takes literally only shot to destroy its yellow weak points, making it very useful to speed through the final boss fight. The alt fire, to me, is useless though.
    Still, I beat the game on hard with only two deaths (I personally say only one death cuz i don’t count the turret sections :^)

I like the idea of the force gun, but my 8 year old self always thought it was potato looking. That, and I didn't learn until recently you still have to aim at limbs for max damage. When it said "cone of damage" i figured you wanted to aim center mass to hit all the limbs around the laser, so I was doing horrible damage with it as well.

    You can hoard money by upgrading the pulse canon, sell the ammo, and rinse and repeat. 9 power nodes is best and after upgrading the capacity (one at the time)you empty the magazine, pick up the ammo on the floor, and upgrade the capacity until you are out of nodes. Sell the ammo then reset the nodes.

      Get heavy damage pack DLC, tank suit, use infinite stasis and infinite oxygen refill cheat codes, use cheat codes to get extra cash and power nodes.
      Then when you get to the first store, use contact beam and plasma cutter and tank suit only.

    There's a lot of amazing things they did with the remake, but quite possibly my favorite is how they reworked circuit nodes. Instead of dumping 7-8 on literally empty slots just to get that one damage or capacity upgrade, there is absolutely no necessity to "waste" a node like this with the new system. To compensate for this, they had to give the weapons and the suit far more upgrade slots. Each weapon has 3 upgrades you can scavenge schematics for, which just unlock more of the circuit tree to dump nodes into, as well as unlock additional special features. This means you are guaranteed to at least get a couple of weapons and your suit maximally upgraded by the end of the game.
    Also, many of the weapons were re-worked. The Contact Beam is unironically one of the best weapons in the entire game. The primary fire is now a constant beam, while the alt-fire works more like the primary fire in the original: a VERY high damage beam that needs to be precisely aimed. The alt-fire can take out Brutes extremely quickly, in fact it can nuke just about anything very quickly. Very good gun. The Contact Beam in the remake is easily a contender for a fully upgraded plasma cutter.
