Dead Space Remake Endings Explained, And How It Sets Up Dead Space 2 Remake

Let's say, for a moment, that Motive decides to completely upend the story of Dead Space 2 when remaking it. Isaac has to escape confinement on the Sprawl and destroy the recreated Marker created using data in his mind. Memory blockers prevent him from knowing how he got there or what he was doing till that point. However, the big twist would be that Isaac himself worked with the Sprawl to recreate the Marker and that he's directly responsible for the outbreak on the station.

This could lead to two outcomes. One could see him having second thoughts and trying to halt Convergence, battling his hallucinations of Nicole. The other sees him giving in and spreading the Necromorphs to Earth, perhaps the entire Solar System. It would be an incredible set-up for a Dead Space 3 remake, which would be a far more drastic remake and completely undo the original's events. It certainly seems more likely than, say, creating a spin-off based on the alternate ending that doesn't connect to Dead Space 2 in any way.

  • They should realise how lucrative remaking the other 2 could be. If they treat 2 and 3 the way they treated this one then they cant go wrong.
  • I would like faithful Dead Space 2 remake and a almost completely different Dead Space 3 remake.

    One thing I realy liked about the Remake is the scene where Kendra is about to die. Despite her betraying Isaac and intending to leave him for dead, he still tries to save her. That, and various other scenes in the Remake show that Isaac is compassionate and willing to help just about anyone. It’s a small detail, but I think it goes a long way in developing Isaac’s personality.

    The alternate ending could tie into the second game. Isaac built the Marker in Dead Space 2 originally. He was captured and used after the ending of the first game. This story would only imply that Isaac started it out willingly. Also: Genesis 26:25 KJV "And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well." Given the religious themes in Dead Space I think this fits. Isaac builds a marker, pitches his tent (Nicole refers to going home) but the well part is less obvious. This could be referencing the facility that the marker is built in or the Well is the marker itself and the entities behind the Marker are the ones going to "drink" from it.
  • The pitch for Dead Space 4 accoring to PrettyGoodGaming and Eurogamer was going to open with humanity having lost the fight against the Necromorph, and a lone survivor wakes up in a debris field and has to fight off zero-g monsters whilst collecting components to build a ship to escape. The twist would be you could escape, but knowing the truth would you want to?

    The alternate ending is cool like a Silent Hill 3 "corrupted" ending but, it is there to hype up the Dead Space fans who are waiting for Dead Space 2 Remake Isaac is obviously talking to the player and to Nicole at the same time, I think that EA Motive will be building us a surprise as well and that we are going to like it !
  • I hope they remake all 3 and finish dlc for 3 so we can see the true ending and a setup for 4
  • Dutch Ellen Ripley ...and now Isaac Clarke The halls of Humanity's Legendary Monster Hunters just got updated.

    I just finished this game. Never played the original, but will soon, and I can’t wait to see what motive does next. I really hope that they go the route of completely reimagining the series. Like how cool would it be to just basically remake the second dead space game with a similar plot but still very different. It might be the first game to have a remake change completely from the original. Idk. I think that’s pretty wishful thinking but it would be awesome!
  • @MeNobodyKnows
    They should make a dlc for dead space 1 which takes place on the colony before the arrival of the USG kellion. A prequel like dead space extraction or the short movie.
  • @Mr.Bibleman
    After finishing Dead Space 1 remake I really hope they remake Dead Space 2.
  • To me I interpreted his desire to build a new marker not as something he was going to do but simply something that allowed the events of the sequel to happen. Giving him the knowledge of how to make a marker is what allows the events on the sprawl to take place and gives the unitologists a reason to experiment on Issac between games.
  • @RazzorFPS
    You can pick up a audio log where you see nicole the first time and the actor in the audio log says „Cross“. The fact that they actually put in a log which shows the true dialogue between Isaac and Cross which are apparently Temple and Cross flashes my mind.
  • @furchad3574
    They could even have a remake of the mobile game that showed the events leading up to 2, plus I really like the design for Vandal’s suit
  • If Dead Space 2 gets a remake I want the multiplayer remade, it told a story happening alongside Isaac's and we got to play as Necromorphs.

    Good morning my dear friend💖Fantastic gameplay. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend:hand-pink-waving::eyes-pink-heart-shape::hand-pink-waving:
  • Seems like more of a hint that they want to do 2 next to me, which i hope they do. 3 definitely needs it the most, 2 doesn't need that much work but a little bit of polishing couldn't hurt. It'd also be neat if they made extraction into a proper dead space game instead of an on rails shooter, then they'd have the potential to expand the story of the severed dlc into a full game to be extraction 2 (which it basically was anyway)
  • @Dr3w1992
    With everything that happen to his parents and love of his life I’d imagine he want to make another marker to make them suffer the way he did
  • Did all of y’all really just hate 3? Yes the coop should’ve been better and it wasn’t fully horror based but weapons gameplay and story I thought was decent for the most part. But I still do agree a reboot is needed for 3. Just a faithful remaster for 2 is just fine. 2 was absolutely perfect
