For the most part, he did an excellent job as mercer but I wouldnt go this far. The original Va was emotional both in voice acting and in actually making us believe he is a crazy fanatic. His death was completely out of character in the remake. We cant even deny his ascension like in the original. This new version is good but he lacks the crazy screams and the biblical-like speeches like the original, something that is core to the character.

As well as even more twisted with what he did to Jacob in front of Isaac by putting him in Statis then shooting him when Isaac refuses to side with him.

Definitely agree. :)

[@briansmith2739]

Dr. Mercer was more sinister in the original game when he stabbed Jacob right into his head. (When I saw that scene for the first time in a video game, it literally creeped me out.) I still like him in the remake, but they should have kept his death the same when he sacrifices his own life for an Infector.

[@FOLKTALES456]

@Brian Smith yeah I was disappointed with his end in this remake.

[@NoExplosionsMcgee]

They really did turn Dr. Mercer into a Lovecraftian villain in the Remake. What a cool approach to updating his character. Lol

I don’t know why, but I love Dr. Mercer’s theme when he talks to Isaac. It sounds so eerie.

[@manofmercy1500]

10:43 Welp, looks like the Brethren Moons are still part of the Necromorph lore then. If folks really want a full-blown new version of DS3, then it’s sounding like the overall story won’t be changed as massively as they’d think it will.

So just because the moons are still a thing that means things can’t change 🤨

[@thefreeman5653]

I think they'll always be a part of DS no matter what, I read somewhere that one of the writters and franchise leads said that when he wrote the Necromorph's lore the Brethren Moons where a part of it from the beginning

Well it can be different still by that logic since isacc is the protagonist almost nothing will change story or character wise

[@yapyapthedestroyer2562]

I kinda like his death a bit more in the remake, thinking he was gonna get something due to being “promised” but just like warren, his og version, and Jacob danick would learn, they aren’t special, and just serve as puppets to be controlled and disposed of

[@420OngBak]

@@yapyapthedestroyer2562 To be fair you didn't actually see him die you see him carried away and it's only lightly implied. I'm personally hoping they keep Mercer as a reoccurring villain because this version of him is SSS+ tier

[@yapyapthedestroyer2562]

@@420OngBak while that sounds actually pretty neat for that to happen, it’s sadly unlikely. As he gets carried away, you hear what sounds like a harsh crunch and Mercer’s body goes limp. Even if he didn’t, he was likely to be killed later and either be apart of the corruption or turned into a slave or fused with something else. And even after all that, the marker was destroyed and because of it, the necromorphs became inactive, or their organic sludge until a shard or marker signal is introduced.

[@MoodKapProductions]

I think he's a near improvement aside from his death scene. In the original he accepts his death and you could prevent him from turning if you kill the infector in time denying him of what he wanted. Aside from that he's a complete upgrade since you see how insane he is. A small thing I like that they added was him using Stasis because it felt like only Issac had access to it.

[@ryanhowe5753]

I kinda hope he comes back for a dead space 2 remake

[@sol666]

I am reminded of why the 1st two dead space games were incredible. The foreboding silence broken by the occasional encounter of a screeching necromorph ambushing you. Part three was a complete opposite. It was like a necromorph Zombie hack n' slash pretending to be a resident evil 5 clone.

[@Nivomandasrail]

Had to look this up because of Mercer being invisible in my game. Specifically for the cutscene at 12 mins, both Mercer and the other employee were invisible for me. I reloaded a save and Mercer became visible, but still couldn't see the other guy. Very odd bug.

[@NJaykeGames]

Im here for this very reason. I had zero clue what was going on

[@Nivomandasrail]

@@NJaykeGames Bro be careful with that save file. Mine got corrupted immediately after that cutscene happened. I had to reload a manual save from a couple hours earlier in order to keep playing.

[@Chareboe]

I feel like Dr. Mercer is not dead. Would be kinda cool if they brought him back in a DS2 Remake and made him another antagonist.

[@ryanhowe5753]

I can actually see that. “I was certain my life was at an end. But the hive mind gave me a second chance. Do you remember the hunter you managed to kill, Mr Clarke? This one is resistant to fire. I don’t intend to make the same mistake twice, Mr Clarke.”

[@Chareboe]

​@@ryanhowe5753 Yes definitely. Like Mercer could have been the one to teach Earthgov how to extract the Marker codes from Isaac's brain. Mercer could also have been the one to help the Church of Unitology sabotage the Marker restraints and Mercer could also have let the necromorphs into EarthGov instead of Isaac (I always thought that part in DS2 was out of character). Mercer also could have tricked Tideman into terminating the key subjects so they can be absorbed and trigger a convergence event. Mercer could also become an epic boss fight if he is turned into a necromorph. Even an after credit scene could be that frozen necromorphs were brought to Earth by Mercer for "study" and make something different for a DS3 remake. I just think there is a lot of potential to allow Mercer the chance to be more of an actual antagonist and improve DS2's story.

[@Lubble-]

Absolutely not....that would be the laziest and most pointless call back ever...best thing they can do is not remake 2 at all and just leave the franchise be....

No joke. I've had to watch this video because the scene in chapter 10, I legit can only see Issac. Everything is like Issac is talking to himself so I had no idea what Mercer did or said in the scene. Just Issac talking to thin air and blood appearing. I was so confused. Thank you for this video.

[@DaddyHensei]

I don’t think Mercer is actually dead. You don’t hear any flat line and the death itself just seems “bloodless” for a villain such as him. As it’s not really relieving for the player to experience. Could Mercer be appearing a potential Dead space 2 remake? That would be interesting. To have a villain from 1, follow Issac to the next game.

[@SavageP.9000]

It's most likely he did die since he did die in the original (it's just done offscreen). But having him back for the Dead Space 2 remake would actually be a pretty good twist.

[@MoskHotel]

There had been some deaths shown in the remake that didn’t let off a flatline, including Jacob and Captain Mathius. And I like to think that Mercer’s fate was quite fitting, since he begged to be made “whole,” prompting a tentacle to pull the Marker away with Mercer. This is what I believe the Marker’s way of saying: “You want to be whole. Now *this* is your reward.”
