[@Warrior-Of-Virtue]

The most terrifying thing about the markers is that once you're under their influence, you can no longer trust your own senses. There's no way to know for certain if anything you see or hear is real.

[@WiseFish]

That’s one thing I love about psychological horrors/thrillers is when you’re not sure if it’s real or all in the mind. The markers are so interesting in that regard but also as you say so terrifying.

[@SirDankleberry]

Especially when it tries to make you stab yourself in the eye. Still one of the best scenes in Dead Space 2.

[@Xenobears]

[@FeedMeSalt]

Friendly reminder the game used that orange tint and alien text flashing and screen shake so that the player knows it's not real, Issac however doesn't see it like that, for him it's really there. It's reality.

[@Triforcebro]

Gonna guess you beat the remake already so I agree kinda but thats from the game developers and it's so we see what Issac sees, same with the twist they gave the ending. We as players know this isn't real but we need to believe it's real through issacs eyes.

[@shinsekai101]

wait... can you elaborate more? I have never [played the game and only watched on youtube.

[@FeedMeSalt]

@@shinsekai101 basically as you progress in game a color tint filter will sometimes show up making everything look more orange, all the screens will flash alien gibrish and you will hear whispering and more. It usually lasts for a second or two. It's supposed to show the player Isaacs descent into madness. He isn't seeing the world litteraly shift in color or it would be obvious to himself he's losing it, that's just a bit of fluff for the player. Is my take.

[@christianobryant5768]

Actually, even if the spaceship with the infector had not landed in the Ishimura, it was a matter of time that a necromorph outbreak would happen. The marker was already in the ship and people were already loosing their minds, a portion of them would mass suicide eventually and the marker signal would alter the dead bodies to make the necros. And even if they could supress the people that were most affected by the marker, they had already brought a lot of dead bodies from Aegis´ colony and they were a time bomb with the marker on board.

[@Puggy42069]

I thought only the infectors could actually create Necromorphs and the marker just makes people insane and suicidal?

[@TheMegaPrimus]

@@Puggy42069 If my memory is right, which I’ll admit I could have it wrong, the marker signal itself is capable of altering dead tissue to repurpose it into any necromorph form, depending on the amount of necrotic tissue present - such as the infector, your standard slashers, to larger ones like the leviathan on the ship that we fight in hydroponics, or the hive mind. Infectors are made from human remains, and are a conduit for the marker to massively speed up the process of spreading the infection though, as we’ve seen. Don’t need to waste time driving people mad if you can just have a foot soldier kill and repurpose them for you. Think of it like the marker just needs to knock over the first domino by driving someone to suicide and reshaping them into an infector, after that, the infector gets to work knocking the rest down, killing and infecting more and more until game over.

[@DatAsianGuy]

@@Puggy42069 where do you think infectors come from? They don't appear out of nowhere. the Marker itself can also turn bodies into necromorphs with help of some bacteria/virus, but the process is far slower and takes more time

When this first came out I was the backseat gamer as it was too scary for me at the time. Since then, I have played many horror games and felt I had built a pretty strong tolerance and wished to feel that same fear I felt many years ago. Fate must have answered my call as when my partner came home with the remake in his hands and told me this is it, this is the game you couldn't play, I knew I had to accept the challenge and play for myself - within 10mins all that adrenaline and fear came rushing back - I felt like that little kid again! Can't wait to finish it all by myself 😊

Sadly, the ishimura itself was the perfect foil for the moons. A ship made to crack planets and moons. If it was a different franchise, the final battle of the franchise would have been an epic climactic duel between humanity in their cracker ships defending earth against the moons.

[@TheCorrodedMan]

@@Ordoabchao-x9kHow would you even get close? The moons broadcast the signal the markers do, but magnified by thousands. Any ship that got too close with hostile intent would just be overrun by loonies within a matter of minutes as the entire crew loses their damn minds. A few might make it, and they may even destroy a couple before they lost control, but a couple isn’t enough. The only way to kill these things is to keep a perfectly safe distance(no markers around either)and bombard them with as many high yield torpedos as you can. Even if they use their powers to make you miss, a big ass wall of nuclear death is bound to hit and kill _something._

My favorite thing about these games horror-wise is that throughout all 3 games, Isaac was basically always just a pawn for the Markers. Spoilers: Dead Space 1: The Marker tricks Isaac into putting it back where it came from so the Hive Mind can awake from its slumber. Dead Space 2: The site 12 Marker tricks Isaac into activating Convergence since Nicoles appirition told him to go to the Marker by any means necessary. Dead Space 3: the Brethren Moons trick Isaac into thinking that he needs to turn off the machine so it destroys the Markers. Dead Space 3 Awakened: The Brethren Moons trick Isaac into thinking that it would follow him back to Earth if he shockspaced back to it and has a fight with Carver, stalling him so the Brethren moons can get back to Earth before he does.

The weird thing about the artificial red Marker was that it seemed to be trying to stop the black Marker from achieving Convergence.

[@jaysherman2615]

Perhaps the red marker was fighting the black marker for dominance. If the black marker achieved convergence, then the red marker loses. If the red marker stops the convergence, then it still has a chance to control things for itself.

@@rdowg fair enough on the movie, but extraction would definitely have merit as either a DLC or its own standalone. I know Extraction was a rail shooter, but I will be honest, that today wouldn't really feel right if that makes sense?

[@sandlesman]

Honestly, tho, Extraction would be an interesting bit of DLC for the remake- but Motive would have to contend with the licensing issues from only having Wii and PS3 ports. Granted, it probably wouldn't be that hard also adding in the storyline from the comics as well, mixing it into Extraction's already short plot.

[@tojihive]

ive never played the original games, i’ve only just played the remake this month but i’m curious to know, what was the first marker on earth like for earthgov to want to replicate it?

[@TheCorrodedMan]

It was a curiosity mostly, but there was evidence right off the bat that it could produce seemingly limitless amounts of complex electromagnetic energy, which could be used as fuel for a starving earth. Dredgercorp, the company in charge of excavating the thing, learned too late that that the energy wasn’t the only thing it produced. A German scientist injected himself with a syringe full of corruption, hoping it was a sedative to ease his hallucinations. He died, turned, and then humanity _really_ learned to fear the fucking thing. That didn’t stop the Sovereign Colonies from attempting to perfect it, though. See, they assumed that the Necromorphs were a malfunction of the Marker; produced as a result of a defective and possibly broken object, but if they could repair or even build a new one, it would work as intended and humanity would be saved. Obviously, it didn’t work that way. When Dr Serrano learned the truth about the Necromorphs and their life cycle, the SCAF scuttled all of their fleets and erased nearly every piece of research they had on the Marker in the hope that mankind would never attempt to harness its power again. They even had the original black marker with them, but they locked it away and scuttled the ship it was on to keep it from falling into anyone else’s hands.

And im so confusing what will be happened on DS3 after Isaac & security guy fought against the tentacles moon and story need to be continued

[@Coldevil297]

So basically the breathren moons create a marker and send it to a planet. After, that the marker manipulates the evolution of a species in order to make them smart enough to use all their resources. After that, it reveals itself and appears as an infinite source of energy while also letting the species know how to reproduce it. Then, a necromorph outbreak starts and after enough people have been killed, a convergence event happens and a new brethren moon is created

Slashers and the other species are made by infectors, while the necro matter covering the walls are dead bodies changed directly by the marker's signal Infectors are produced by the necro queen, but they also reproduce when creating a slasher as seen in the very original Dead Space comic (The belly zone which is not used by slashers anyway will detach itself and become an infector, which is why some necro don't have neither jaws nor belly) It takes time for a body to turn with the marker's signal, but slow and steady always wins the game, especially when there is a lot of dead people (Biomass) which can eventually end with building-up things like the leviathan By the way in Dead Space Downfall you can see Slashers putting all the dead bodies altogether so they can melt and form something bigger, which is totally logical for the marker's final goal is to create a moon from all the bodies As for the different necro species, the result simply depends on how much the body (or the bodies) weight(s) and the needs of the marker

I like how this video talks about the remake but still uses the OG Necromorph as a thumbnail.
