Lore-wise they can't MOVE if you chop them to pieces.

Well, every other game in existence rewards you for going for the head. They had to pound it into you to NOT go for the head in this game. Otherwise they'd have had hordes of angry 14-year-olds complaining.

They don't really get bad so much as they...lose their way. And get EA'ed.

I don't remember that part of the ship having quite so many background baby cries.

Still, I love medical. It establishes so much about all the things you'll be encountering in the game (zero gravity, vacuum, enemy types) and has a lot of great creepy setpieces.

LINE GUN because seriously that thing can chop half a room in half.

The whispers saying "Search and rescue" are part of an audio file from one of Dead Space's promotional alternate-reality websites. You are a guy trapped on the ship with the door locked, and the only thing with you is a computer that examines the odds for risk assessment. The risk assessment computer even gives you dating advice odds. "Search and rescue" was part of it describing one woman's day job.

drat, the original promotional AR game isn't even on the Internet Wayback Machine. (it was called No Known Survivors) Too bad, it had some genuine creep moments. Plus like I said, I loved the idea of a guy using a risk assessment computer to not only calculate the odds of his own survival from attack by alien zombies, but dating advice. Now that is a pretty intricate predictive model.

Clearly necromorphs wouldn't be able to do their thing on a ship full of robots, so if this setting did have any sort of AI to speak of they'd be the kryptonite to the infestation.

Nah, everybody ever thinks the way she flops around afterwards is risible. They couldn't have scripted the last part of her collapse when every tester ever must have noticed how janky it looked? C'mon!

Remember back on the medical deck? There was a tentacle hole behind the barrier we had to blast our way though. They welded the door shut to keep the tentacle monster out!

You can see this in the Dead Space: Extraction rail shooter (my favorite of the franchise)

I loved the tiny visual fake-out at the beginning of the return to Medical, the light's shining behind a human body model so it looks like there's a guy there. And then you hear that whispering.

He must have put it there on purpose just to mess with you. His room isn't just a house of horrors, he's got, like, DRAPES hanging from the ceiling. In space!
