Dead Space Lore: The Suits of Dead Space

Dead Space Lore
The cosmetic side of dead space is one that has always fascinated me whether that would be from armour that looks like diving gear, celtic armor or future inventions with a futuristic setting. It certainly gives you glimpse into humanities history that had inspired the design of such suits designed to protect the wearer depending on the occupation of the user.
We will be going through all the main suits from the dead space series excluding the dlc suits as they don't offer anything for lore rather only offers different effects within the gameplay.

Love the level 3 just because on the left arm the sleeve shows that the suit itself is a thick weave over the body. Makes it look like it’d actually protect the user if say a hammer fell on their shoulder or maybe they bumped into something in zero g.

@Thorn Adkins at the end of DS1 he was found unconscious floating in space on his spaceship by EarthGov, so all of his possessions would have been taken away from him. All of his credits, upgraded RIG suits, ammo, kenisis module, etc, plus all of his one of a kind, rare, powerful, reverse engineered mining tools which made splattering giant necromorphs really easy.

[@Riprie]

EVA suit is literally "extravehicular activity" aka spacewalk suit. It is a standard astrounaut suit.

[@cloudonpot]

Safe to say that in a way, every objective Issac completed in dead space 1 was being tracked by the ship's tracking system of occupation as no one above was available to evaluate the employees' performance. In a way the ship was basically evaluation him vs others engineers that could be available but due to Issac being the only one available the system pretty much saw him as the go to guy for each available task linked to the ship and rig. Promoting Issac with every major object/task complete. Each suit upgrade really felt earned, and buying the suits is like buying your next trade class license test.

First game; intricately designed industrial exoskeletons, poetically made to resemble dead men walking, with the level progression evoking personal progress in dealing with the threat. Second game; advanced space armour that was likely the best option Isaac had to return as an exterminator. Logically designed and resembling a menace to the impure filth under his boot. Third game; hey that looks pretty good- put it in chapter 7 or something.

Some of the reskinned suits in DS3 do have unique lore related purposes. The hostile environment suit was designed to protect against the unique radiation that was emitted from the core of Tau Volantis. The first contact suit was designed for prolonged exposure to UV rays in space. The marauder suit is the same as the elite or legionary suit but was intended for raiding enemy ships.

[@cybergames3436]

Note: It also does not fit the artstyle we see for eathgov military rigs, it lacks any armor other than the helm, and this also really affects Norton RIG, he doesn't look like he's earthgov.

[@MRSupernova100]

The only "uhm uhm, British - " comment I have, is that it's not an Eva suit - It's an E.V.A. suit. It means extravehicular activity, whereas an I.V.A. suit is an intervehicular activity suit. These are terms being used today - The E.V.A. suit is entirely representative of that ships' version of our astronaut's white suits today. That's my only nitpick, really :D Loved the video!

[@YoungIroh]

the drip is impeccable with the arctic survival suit

[@Appleeatpie97]

Vintage suit is hands down my favorite

[@DiscoBoi]

I love all the suits in Dead Space but I will say it's a little confusing how sleek they get in each game. The styles of the suits in their respective games are distinct, which does a good job of setting the games apart, but I never understood why in DS1 the suits were bulky, rectangular, and more realistic than say DS2's more sleek futuristic designs. Again, it does a good job of fleshing out each game as DS1 suits have a more rustic and grimy vibe to them which perfectly sets the mood, and DS2 suits are a more action Sci-Fi look which also sets the mood for that game. This is also a problem with the Remake as I think the redesigns are a bit strange, especially the soldier rig. Just in universe it seems kind of confusing. Either way I love the worldbuilding in all the games and you do a really good job of explaining the suits place in universe.

9:45 The hacker suit would not have been worn by the Oracles, as they are only ever described or depicted as wearing "all white". 11:16 The Legionary suit was not "decommissioned to mark the end of tyranny", the S.C.A.F. had adopted and made widespread use of the suit, but when the Sovereign Colonies collapsed, it's likely the remaining S.C.A.F. Forces scuttled most of their equipment. Isaac, a ship systems specialist, remarks on having never seen ships like those in the S.C.A.F. Flotilla, and Norton states that this was because they scuttled their entire fleet on surrendering. At the end of the war, the secessionists simply did not adopt the legionary suit, as it was likely rendered outdated/antiquated fairly quickly (especially as it left service in the early 24th century, and was yet designed in the 23rd) and with few surviving examples, they became highly valued among collectors. 13:07 The EVA suit does not share the same design as the Deep Dig/Flight suits, and it was not based on the them, at least not in universe. There are commonalities, but these are likely simple coincidences. Similar problems, similar solutions.
