Remembering The Dead Space Video Games

With the confirmation that Dead Space Remake will be arriving January of 2023, it's time for a trip down memory lane in what I believe is the best Survival Horror game to date.

Sitting down with two friends on a stormy day. All the light off, all the shades drawn, sound way up. Just two of us watching the one friend that has never played before take this game on. That's a core memory.

[@wangchung2157]

Dead Space 1 and 2 are still the pinnacle of sci fi horror for me personally the atmosphere of both games just blow me away. Extraction is an amazingly faithful on rails shooter to the Dead Space universe and the criminally underrated Dead Space Mobile that was a prequel to Dead Space 2 deserves to be talked about more it was so faithful to the source material in Dead Space 1 and set up 2 beautifully

[@thorburnjschwegler]

It would make sense that Isaac in the first game is silent because he's still processing his trauma in the moment and then the second one that was quite some time he had to understand and to talk about what had happened

[@James-gj8rn]

I remember this being talked about as "Resident Evil 4 IN SPACE" I have these on my Series X (1 and 2) maybe i should finally play then, great video Matty :)

[@drasticbread249]

Dead Space: Downfall is an anime film that came out in 2008 that tells the backstory of the game in more detail with what happened aboard the Ishimura. It's really great, and you can stream it for free on a lot of platforms.

[@im_so_zoned]

I'll have to give that a look. Thanks!

[@batzraph708]

I'm not a Anime fan but I love that movie, It's true to the source

[@fizzie6902]

I think the motion comic that came with the Wii version of extraction did a better job of showing the gradual decline of the Ishimura than downfall

[@drasticbread249]

@@fizzie6902 I've never heard of this comic before, sounds like a really valuable collectible

[@im_so_zoned]

Dead Space 2 is in my top 5 games of all time. Still play it regularly on my PS3 and keep that system hooked up mainly to play the Dead Space series. Also Read Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, Mass Effect 3 multiplayer as well.... but mostly Dead Space. Lol

[@Road_to_Dawn]

Every time I go into a store and see a huge TV on display, my first thought is how amazing it would be to play Dead Space 2 on it. The lack of a HUD makes the screen feel somehow bigger to me, and I love it. Of course the other two main games didn’t have a HUD either, but DS2 is my go-to favorite.

[@Gogo32monkey]

I still go back to Dead Space every year or two to re-experience one of my favourite survival horrors, same with Alien Isolation

[@robbnaughtoniii275]

Retro rebound is awesome always going in depth about these games especially dead space I never got to play the series but after watching this video I'm gonna have to check it out! Thank you for making such great content!

[@adambuskirk2222]

The whole Dead Space series is one of if not my favorite series of all time. I love all the games (2 is my favorite of all 4) and even though people like to shit on 3 I say look at it from Isaacs POV. He's already had to deal with not one but two different outbreaks. After dealing with these 2 seperate times im pretty sure not much would freak him out/scare him anymore.

[@bluespartan-6628]

[@dictatorofthecheese]

I'll never forget convincing my best friend, Zach, to play through Dead Space 3 with me. I was used to the horror, but he was petrified. Every time my guy got scared I laughed. But when we started experiencing hallucinations in game we noticed something. I was playing as Issac, he was playing as the co op partner. We noticed that his character couldn't see my hallucinations and I couldn't see his hallucinations. That really freaked BOTH of us out. It was a brilliant touch in DS3. I hated DS3, but it's a fun co op experience and that touch with the hallucinations was honestly brilliant. We ended up making it to the end together and beating it. His immediate response once the credits start rolling? "Never again Brian never again!" He starts laughing. To this day, it's been almost a decade, we still mention it occasionally. I love horror games, I honestly haven't found a scary game that scares me anymore unfortunately since I played horror games so much. One rule I have thanks to dead space, is whenever I'm waiting for a door to open in whatever horror game I aim my gun ready to fire. I don't trust doors in horror games to this very day lol. Same with enemy corpses. I occasionally shoot them first before approaching them. DS is my favorite horror franchise.

[@julianburford3713]

Oh man. I still remember some of the horrific death animations in 2. One I will not forget is how a necromorph would behead Isaac, his face would crawl over to your body, take control of it and starts walking.

[@rampageblackston4926]

That happened in dead space 1 too. I couldn’t believe it when it happened

[@dblundz]

Some of the best audio in games 👌🏻

[@rampageblackston4926]

Just played dead space 1 for the first time. Wow I’m blown away and it’s 2023. That’s how you make a game. There was level of detail I’m shocked they covered in that game. Just started dead space 2 and so far they’ve improved on so much

[@tylerwood8710]

I played the original on PC when it came out. Absolutely horrifying game. Totally wicked and groundbreaking for its time. Good to hear it holds up.

[@mongothedestroyer88]

I can say enough how much I love the Dead Space series. I have high hopes for the Remake and Callisto Protocol. What a year to be a DS fan.

[@MarkGrouch]

Right when I’m getting bored, Matty uploads a 30 minute Dead Space video🤌🏻

[@nbleys5696]

I personally Really like and enjoyed Deadspace 3! It was a blast to play co op, the weapon crafting was immensely fun as well 😀

[@eyeyron3361]

Just bought all 3 games recently because of your channel and how you cover those good blasts from the past. Dead space is one of those games that was always talked about back in the day but I never got into them. Now seeing that you made a quality video about this franchise gives me more reasons to finally jump in :D

[@psychologicalfrost2116]

The games also had tie in books and while I haven’t read the second one, the first book, Dead Space Martyr, is the best video game novel I’ve ever read. It shows the start of the church of unitology. Definitely worth a read if you’re a fan of the games!

[@EliteXclutchX21]

Ughhhh Matty I freaking LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!❤❤

[@jonbourgoin182]

Dead Space 1 and 2 are two games I wish I could erase my memory of and relive for the first time.

[@OnePolishMoFo]

Dead Space 1 is a masterpiece and Dead Space 2 is perfection. Some of my favorite games of all time. Not just horror games, but games. I even like 3. Not as much as the first two but I think it's good. The beginning with the derelict warships orbiting the planet is the best part. It gives it an exploratory feel the previous games didn't have. And I like initially crashing on the planet. It has heavy The Thing vibes. But the ending I can't stand behind. I don't care how super charged his kinetic module is. He can't solo an eldritch god thing by tossing pebbles at it. Even if he had a fleet of ships backing him up I wouldn't be convinced.

[@MatticusFinch1820]

Dead Space Extraction is one of my fave horror games. Might be my fave shooter on the Wii, then when you take in the PS3 version on the Dead Space 2 disc with the PS Move controller with the SOCOM gun attachment, its even more fun.

[@wickdaline8668]

Loved playing through DS1&2 in my middle school years.

[@feeamerie5011]

I have the trilogy too and never finished 3 despite trying twice. I was contemplating a play through after my FF13 trilogy run so maybe this time I’ll push on through and finally see the end of 3. At least I’ll have a blast with 1 and 2 on the way…

[@the_unmatched_power_of_the_sun]

Remembering? bro i never forgot! I'm still playing them!

[@KingRoturix]

Everytime I hear the "Twinkle Little Star" song I get so hyped and emotional. Dead Space is one of my favourite games of all time.

[@tylerwood8710]

Idea for a future video: American McGee's Alice.

[@itsoldtyde]

He starts having hallucinations due to his exposure to the fragment/monolith, if the wiki is correct.

[@currentkickgames]

Dead Space is an interesting one for me. I'm not really into horror but finally sat down to play it in October of 2012. I played for a few hours, loved it, and then got hit by Hurricane Sandy and had no power for nearly 2 weeks. The first thing I did when the power came back on was turn on my Xbox 360 to play more, but it just was too dreary to play after everything that I had experienced. I never went back to finish it but thought about it quite a lot over the years. I guess I'll wait for the remake at this point.

[@roberteros3463]

no way Sandy was in 2012

[@currentkickgames]

@@roberteros3463 Sandy was Oct 2012.

[@aiRbckwrds]

I started DS1, but didn't get very far because I was too scared to continue. I didn't play DS2 for the same reason, but I did play coop for DS3. I have plans to go back to the first two entries, but still pretty nervous about it.

[@Sithbanks87]

Wasn't a big fan of Dead Space 3 but me and my brother still enjoyed playing it together. Single player not so much

[@celticspike2522]

Dead space is hands down one of the best games of that generation.

[@MrOMGWTFBBQ]

I’m going to play the remake soon! I can’t wait

[@emirned231]

WE are talking about dead spaaace........not you. died of laughter but it's soo true

[@darthenclave6946]

Great video Matty!

[@Wes36Man]

This guy speaking has convinced me to finally play this game. The scariest game I have played to date is resident evil 7. That game was terrifying on the big screen.

[@dblundz]

Will never forgive EA for gutting VG’s original idea for dead space 3. (They we’re going to dive even deeper into Issac’s mental health. But then EA shut down the original story because “mental health was too sensitive to tackle”) Then after that, gutting the studio and sending them to the EA graveyard. Their dead space 4 idea was even awesome too. Now EA seeing the value in dead space after all these years is a spit in the face to the devs and fans. So idk, bittersweet I guess when it comes to the remake.

[@ryan7625]

Yea agreed excited for remake bit man can't help but think what if.

[@DraculaTepes420]

I love Dead space, especially the first two and Extraction. The remake looks quite promising especially after the recent gameplay/art and sound design previews.

[@phantomthief9396]

The only thing I really hate about being a PS guy is being locked out of PS3 games. I have wanted to replay the Dead Space Trilogy for a few years now and I can't. I was hoping a remaster trilogy would come but EA going down the remake route means that's probably not happening. When I get an Xbox for Starfield, Avowed, Hellblade 2 etc. I'll replay them on game pass. The first two games are absolute CLASSICS. Dead Space was one of my first platinums!

[@davidludwig7501]

I really enjoyed all Dead Space games including 3. Dead Space 3 is really good imo. The way the story ends especially if you play the dlc. The ending of the dlc expands on the original ending and ends on a dark note. The game is graphically impressive to this day. Especially playing through backwards compatibility on series consoles. 4k 60 fps. Great series. Some of my favorite games of all time.

[@yeri7382]

Deff wish we got to see Matty stream these live lol

[@stevequincy388]

I think System Shock 2 had a big influence on Dead Space. You can see many similarities.

[@Seventh27Seal]

Recently replayed 1 and 2. Still amazing. Except the meteor blasting level smh

[@SquashyButton]

Not trying to defend Dead Space 3's story, because it truly is the worst part of the game, but I have to point an error that was made in this vid. Norton was never working for Danik, he simply cut a deal with him to hand over Isaac and let everyone else leave. And after Isaac shoots Norton, sure he doesn't instantly tell Ellie what happened, but Carver does and says that Norton had a gun on them and was going to kill them. So, it's more on the writing being bad for Ellie, not Isaac.

[@kamamat530]

Have thought about playing these for years and have them all for 360 but at this point I want my first experience to be remake so been just waiting since they announced that

[@redeyejedi4400]

Just the first game is getting a remake

[@shutupleon9933]

I am a die hard fan of the Dead Space series. I own the series on Xbox, PS3 and PC. I think the entire series needs a Remaster with 60fps and 4K before it gets a Remake but it is what it is. I am thankful for Xbox One X backwards compatibility but, I play part 2 on PS3 because that is the only way to play Dead Space Extraction. (Yes I am aware of the interior Wii version of Extraction) How do you play Dead Space?

[@timeforgamesYT]

Not a big horror fan either, but this is definitely one of my favorite series! I played the first one on PC and I'm thinking of revisiting it on PS3 before the remake comes out.

[@shutupleon9933]

Will we ever get a Dead Space Collection with the 3 main games and the Dead Space Extraction spin off?

[@joshlynum5861]

nice video on deadspace

[@BrobaFett2494]

love your videos man! making me want to have a classic game marathon this weekend!

[@idiot_city5244]

I just want a Thing game like this

[@popatsot1]

My favorite series on the PS3 gen..... short of 3. Also Extraction and Severed are sorely undervalued as a great addition to the series. 👍 Matty you need to get the Limited Edition PS3 version as it comes with a remastered version of Extraction. Wait no I see the limited edition label. So you just didn't mention it?

[@markrothery5720]

Dead space still some of the best sound design ever

[@decoyplatypus3987]

That copy of Dead Space 2 has a port of Dead Space Extraction (Wii game) on the disc

[@fizzie6902]

Wish ds3 was a proper send off without ea's meddling. Having it be a proper trilogy with a great spinoff would be satisfying

[@alextownley9388]

MATTY, your whole “We’re talking about Dead Space! NOT YOU” is exactly how I also feel about Dead Space 3 😂

[@jorrellrichardson3181]

Hottake Dead Space 3 is good. Coop makes it better by itself.

[@Drivenby]

Matty im gonna go back and check your other dead space video. I was not subbed back then!

[@Mortuary_Gaming]

There are actually multiple dead space animes, and they’re all really good! Highly recommend for any big fan of the series. Fills in a lot of lore gaps

[@philplaystcg420]

Man, I agree on everything you said my guy....except I still love Dead Space 3, for the fact it is a FUN CO-OP game. My buddy and I play this game every 2 years together, and we always have a great time. Now, it's the worst dead space game by far, but it's still a solid game 😁 Love the content, keep it up my guy!

[@jmccain22090]

I was so bad at this game because I could never train myself to stop going for headshots.

[@monstapontes2298]

Hell yeah!! Hands down best survival horror series.. minus 3.. :( it’s ok we got two of them! Nice video matty favorite RR yet!

[@DeadUponAll]

EA should give Dead Space franchise to Bethesda, cause they have Tango (Evil Within) and Arkane (Prey). Or have them co-create a new one

[@victory4life00]

cool vid

[@brendandulmage5091]

You should make one of these on Chrono Trigger! If you have, I apologize please smack me gently

[@redeyejedi4400]

I really need to actually beat these games Ive only owned them for years.

[@stuartirwin8628]

DS2 cost 60 million to make and sold 4 million copies. It did make a profit but for sure it under performed expectations in sales

[@Cubs1719]

lol that time when all horror movies/games had a creepy girl creepily singing a nursery rhyme.

[@PIMPTD]

The stomp reminds me doom eternal but less to remember lol

[@dylaningo3065]

Damn 70 bucks I still have my originals

[@brandonlussier1733]

There was an animated deadspace prequel movie that was actually pretty decent in (my opinion) if you're wondering what that was inside the box

[@joeslickback]

"Your mom hates Dead Space 2"

[@ryan7625]

Here, because I'm trying to fill my hype for the remake coming out this week, and I'm really trying not to play the og.

Hey Matty can you do a video on Dantes inferno? That's another visceral games masterpiece

[@stevengates2855]

I have 1 and 2 on 360. I have all three on pc and still today have not been able to get through the garbage that is 3.

[@shadowknight9395]

My favorite horror space game series that EA ruined Dead Space 3 to me was the worst game ever made and it doesn’t exist due to its lack of scary moments and psychological horror, made it more like an action adventure game Only 1 and 2 remain special in my heart

[@jonesygrets6029]

I enjoyed 3. But the weapons have no weight to the shots like in the first two games. That annoyed more than anything

[@bluespartan-6628]

James?!

[@cruelwraith2games926]

Well I know the Dead Space trilogy still holds up on Xbox because they've been upgraded

[@TheAlphawolf6]

Personally, it was so awkward to me when Isaac would receive calls over comms and just sit there silently as he is being talked at and receiving orders. I would love if they added at least some dialogue during those moments to make him feel more like a character; maybe add some characterization to Nicole to make you care more about that as well.

[@aviplayz4047]

This is strange I have been recently been Playing these. 1 on PS3 emulator witch was good, 2 PC version witch was stunning and a massive difference, 3 still not played but I will.

[@markrothery5720]

Did u know each first letter of each chapter title spells out a spoiler

[@Farmeryeti]

I'm a huuuuge coward when it comes to horror games and horror in gaming in general. As a kid/early teen I'd watch my dad play through the Dead Space games because I was always too scared to do it myself but the world and atmosphere was too cool to NOT experience it in some form.

[@aaron5574]

I'm a fan of Dead Space 3. Not the best one but it was still fun.

[@TerraWare]

Why was FFXIII vid taken down? Added it to watch later and now it's been removed.

[@molverin0043]

The third was just ok but its Awakened DLC was really great IMO. Never tried Co-op because it does not suit the series at all.

[@Road_to_Dawn]

Same here, DS3 wasn’t scary at all but I have to say it was a fun time playing through it with my best friend and cheesing the hell out of the weapon crafting. The Awakened DLC was downright terrifying and amazing and really helped redeem DS3 for me.

[@donpedro5837]

The first two were amazing games ea butchered the third not surprised though don’t forget they did try to sell u the ending for 10 bucks lmao

[@dudlydjarbum2045]

Love your stuff. Buuuut Google dead space 2 production cost and it's 60 million not small but alot less than 100 plus million

[@cult-of-carl]

The ps3 copies must be much more expensive. Cause 70 for these 3 seem excessive.

[@jimmyjay689]

Couldnt finish this game...tension level is raised to 100...great atmosphere tho

[@maximilianodiaz525]

I think servers are still up on PS3 tbh

[@ivanvolkov6219]

I think Dead Space 3 is much better in co-op.

[@kjtj397]

The ps3 version 😬

[@pblreza]

Of course it is, there shouldn't be a stupid remake instead they should make a proper sequel

[@Abrahamplatinum]

Lol how do you love the series and not know about the dead space animated movies …

[@huey6248]

why do marty’s dead space videos always flop

[@Gogo32monkey]

Matty, Dead Space 3 didn't happen, it doesn't exist. I think the marker made you hallucinate that game.

[@rexskirmisher4040]

Well it did so get over it.

[@blinkachu5275]

I liked Dead Space 1, I adored Dead Space 2 and then Dead Space 3 fucked me over xD I streamed all three, and was prepared to give Dead Space 3 a fair chance, but its gamepay is SO BAD and the story makes so little sense and is so predictable in the parts that do make sense. It was such a fat fucking disappointment :(
