Dead Space Lore: Deep Dive Into The USG Ishimura

[@Alex_Mercer_The_PROTOTYPE]

Wait until the Remake comes out. I'm sure the USG Ishimura will have a lot more to explore and I'm hoping to explore the sewer systems like in Dead Space Extraction.

[@JSkyGemini]

The Ishimura is like the Event Horizon: lost. Until she mysteriously starts transmitting a signal from a rift in space, where she was thrown during the destruction of Aegis VII....oh wait, we've already been there! Fun trivia, Ishimura basically means Rock Breaker in Japanese.

[@trevinwolverine1904]

The USG Ishimura is the video game Nostromo and I love it

[@d.dementedengineerc99isurf26]

Nostromo? As in Alien Nostromo? 😃

[@Musical_Mayo]

Loving the lore. Also i just finished your dead space ships video and i looked up the names of all the ships in 3 and they’re all named after failed expeditions except the brusilov and roanoke

[@cainmathewson1857]

The Roanoke colony of Virginia disappeared without a trace in 1585. Brusilov was a Russian commander most notable for his offensive in WW1. Not sure what he has to do with it. The Roanoke makes sense in hindsight (although I would have real bad vibes being a crew member)

[@Musical_Mayo]

@@cainmathewson1857 i believe the armed forces portion of the scaf started out from the russian military

[@cainmathewson1857]

@@Musical_Mayo I know that the Dead Space lore begins with the Battle of the Bering Sea. It took place in the 22nd century and was between Russia and the US. No winner was ever declared but the damage of the conflict was so great (combined with environmental disasters) that many nations came together, I think you were right that Russia was one of the initial biggies, to create the Sovereign Colonies

[@cainmathewson1857]

I think you were right that the Russian military was the initial backbone of the SCAF forces so that makes complete sense

I'm disappointed that no one made a faithful plastic model of Ishimura

I wish they sold the Golden statue of the ship you find in the executive rooms within the game

Loving the endless lore, awesome video, titan station deserves some love too though.

[@erikgenis7116]

I remember when I first stepped foot into this ship, I immediately got chills. I love your lore videos bro absolutely killer and your narration is legendary

[@toddkes5890]

Dead Space remake idea: At 9:37, you have a sphere of rock being processed. In the remake, have it instead be a cylinder of rock being processed, with the interior being like an old-fashioned pencil sharpener. So you still have to jump on the asteroid chunk and get outside before getting 'processed', but you also have to plant the beacon far enough out that the beacon doesn't get processed. The farther out you plant the beacon the more time you have to do stuff internally, but the more Necromorphs you have to deal with and the farther you are from an Oxygen station.

[@ClassicMagicMan]

One of the liveliest settings in the deadest of spaces.

[@Hyperion-5744]

Ishimura also translates to stone village. I look forward to seeing the ishimura in the remake.

[@dnakatomiuk]

Here's hoping we get to go to other places as well we never saw

[@mattwalters6834]

Same

[@aevvah_flxwer8550]

Awesome!! Tysm for the deep-dive ^^ Your enthusiasm and dedication are amazing lol

[@silent_stalker3687]

Ishimoura: we have Logistics in mind! Rest of the series: “uh, let’s say science!” The sovereign colonies: “a army crawls on its stomach, so we make no food so they travel lighter- what, why nothing bad can happen to all our food, stop being paranoid”

[@vanpiisu88]

You make the best Dead Space lore videos 🤩.

[@TheBritishRunner]

Oh stop it, you're making me blush lol

[@dnakatomiuk]

It's an awesome ship wish the game had some extras on it and you could read about the history of this famous planet cracker. When I first played DS2 and I saw this ship I was wtf how how is that here at Titan Sprawl ??? And when I realised I was going back on it I saved my game and took a day off as I knew it was going to be crazy, and I wasn't disappointed.

[@mr.gamechat4271]

This was a great vid and was glad to see all the details the devs put into a fictional ship? I would love it if you do this for other Dead Space Locations like the Space vessels in Dead Space 3 or Ageis 7 . Or even better it would interesting to see how each deck effected the way the corruption formed more in certain locations than others!

[@RodrigorReyes123]

Thank you so much for this deep dive

[@assassinbro2988]

I love Dead Space lore

[@TitanicFan1997]

Thank you for the video. The USG Ishimura is a fascinating ship. Was there only one tram or were there multiple trams? I haven't been able to find much information on it.

[@darthrevan704]

In the zero g theraphy chamber there are wrapped body in the walls

[@d.dementedengineerc99isurf26]

Right. 72 of them.

[@cptpayday2080]

Its really weird because the ship doesnt have much crew at all if the 1000 Number is true even tho its supposed to be such a massive flagship. If you look at World War 2 Battleships for example crews of 1000-2000 people were pretty much standard. Now of course many things would be automated and work would be done by machines not requiring such a large amount of crew members but still its quite curious.

[@toddkes5890]

Automation, plus the Mining Decks had storage for the minerals being mined. Those could be large empty areas that don't need a lot of people (similar to modern container ships and fuel tankers)

[@dnakatomiuk]

I also believe some of the crew where on the planets surface as well sorting out the mining and making sure the ship can pull up the minerals etc.

[@khornebeserker798]

@@dnakatomiuk not really as the colony people did that makeing stuff ready, they werent part of the crew,

[@WaveForceful]

The ship is gigantic, like a mile in Length or something. That’s far larger than anything we have built today.

[@SkyFly19853]

I love Dead Space lore... Gaming may be repetitive, but lore is good.

Commenting for algorithm love 💕

[@boblaw1774]

why in dead space one your in the usg ishimura but there is infinte enemys but only had 1000 people or was it a different ship

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

Maybe they keep Recombinating and come at you again?

[@zombieslayer60]

Hi British Runner ! First off ive only recently discovered your videos and i already love them. So Question for you and its that does the Corruption Thats made from the Marker Grow Faster and have more of it made the closer its to the marker ? Like does the Marker Lose its corruption growing capabilities based on Proximity and range ? Again thanks for all the Lore !!!

[@wolflord8117]

Lets take a ride on the rock village!

[@psychoxsento3415]

Perfect!

[@rufus3715]

Always wondered why a mining ship would bother with medical research

[@JSkyGemini]

You're out in deep space, why wouldn't you?

[@rufus3715]

@@JSkyGemini way i see it if they studied virology research and it escaped the entire crew gets ill

[@spookite]

Being on foreign planets presents the possibilities of running across foreign illnesses. Medical research would seem prudent in my opinion.

[@spookite]

@@rufus3715 forgot to tag in above comment.

[@trevinwolverine1904]

They've got the medical deck stocked with clones grown for spare parts whenever a miner loses a limb during a job

Wooo love these!

[@loganglass2522]

How much time have you spent playing this game 🤔😮

[@awaisabdulrehman]

Was it possible to play anything from Japan in the USG Ishimura prior to the events of Dead Space?

[@tobiasbracknagel4998]

Unlikely. While the ship is named after a (fictional, of course) japanese scientist, who is credited to have invented the deep space drive necessary for deep space exploration, the CEC (who built and owned the USG Ishimura) is not a japanese company, but a multiplanet organisation.

[@snakem4a164]

0:13 between the "I" and the "M" on the side of the Ishimura.... Is it me? Or is that an 👁️?

[@snakem4a164]

Just above the lower line of the capital "I"

@@snakem4a164 I think it’s just a texture thing; like corrosion or abrasion from something.
