I'm simultaneously playing the Dead Space remake and no man's sky and going back and forth between scary isolated psychic zombie aliens to capitalism in space is so jarring and so funny to me I'd like to think it's the same shared world and somewhere in the vast sea of stars my man Isaac Clarke is floating near Aegis VII running and blasting his ass off to save dear life while I'm flying around petting dinosaurs and scanning rocks

"You're crazy, Hammond. You're gonna get us all killed!"
Tumblr media
I was watching TheRadBrad's playthrough of the Dead Space cashgrab Remake, and as it approached the end, I think the biggest problem I had with it by far was how they handled Zach Hammond.
The big draw of the game is the fact that Isaac has a voice in the remake. Gunner Wright does an okay job. It's pretty much on par with his other two performances in DS2 and DS3. I'm so accustomed to Silent Isaac, though, that a lot of the dialog for him (in the beginning) feels like "self-insert" dialog. It gets better towards the end (like there's a genuine sense that they were finding Isaac's voice as they figured out how to make him a proactive character).
But, regarding Hammond: I don't quite know how to put it into words, but Remake Hammond's characterization lacks any charisma. He's bland as hell. Anthony Alabi's performance isn't bad, but the direction and writing doesn't hide his 'okay-ness' as an actor. The story really makes Remake Hammond feel like an inexperienced commanding officer. There's no sense of wisdom or situational control.
The caustic the dynamic between him and Kendra Daniels is erased entirely, and I hate that. It played a big part in how Hammond and Kendra were characterized.
In the absence of it, it makes Kendra cop-jacketing Hammond more suspicious than in the original, because it's lacking that conflict (and the implication that these two people don't like each other before being stuck on a ship full of undead monsters).
Even with as little you got to see him in the 2008 original outside of transmission cinematics, it was how Peter Mensah characterized him that seemed to make him extremely present in the story. How he talks about helping Isaac find Nicole, how he tries to keep his cool when dealing with Kendra and the Necromorphs. There's also that sense of arrogance that comes with a position like his, that you see in his clash with Kendra (who also has an arrogance about her).
Tumblr media
You don't really get that dynamic with either Kendra or Isaac in the remake. DSR minimizes Hammond's role in the game, by, I guess 'mid-point', when Isaac has to deal with hydroponics and the USM Valor. This appears largely in favor of the Elizabeth Cross and Jacob Temple subplot, and more back-and-forth dialog between Isaac and Kendra.
One thing I actually liked about OG Hammond was how little the Marker appeared to influence him. If anything poised a risk to Hammond's life, it was the deadly environment of the ship and the Necromorphs. The latter literally rips him apart, but he's of sound mind when it's happening. It hurts to watch him die so violently, even with Silent Isaac's exaggerated grief (or non-reaction IIRC).
The remake tries to insert this relationship with red shirts named Chen and Johnston to flesh Hammond out as a character. This is a change I would've appreciated if Chen and Johnston survived beyond the opening gambit to actually earn the ending they give Hammond. But they don't.
Hammond basically speed runs Marker Madness toward the end of the game, and gets a silly sacrificial death scene that leans hard on a relationship type that was better established in Dead Space: Extraction with Nathan McNeil and Gabe Weller.
I think Peter Mensah did a lot with the little he was afforded. As one of the two primary speakers in the game outside of Tonantzin Carmelo (OG Kendra's actor), he communicated the tension created by the no-win scenario that was the USG Ishimura outbreak.
And about Kendra Daniels, I personally loved how abrasive she was in the original, but this iteration of Kendra isn't bad (Brigitte Kali Canales is definitely the strongest performer in the game). I actually enjoyed the dimensionality they gave her (particularly in her dynamic with Isaac), even if they made her the "Evil Lesbian". I just wish they hadn't removed the beef between herself and Hammond.
(As far as remakes go, DSR isn't bad. It's a different take on the Visceral Games franchise. Some of its ideas land better than others. It just has the shitty luck of being a EA property still.)

You know what's worse than a necromorph? Poison gas AND a regenerating necromorph. To think we haven't even hit the worst of it yet.

Dead Space (2023) - Social themes and Unitology
I was a big fan of the original trilogy and I cam to this remake with high hopes. I got pretty much what I expected i.e. a recapturing of the visuals and sounds and scares of the original with a tightened narrative and some new bells and whistles. I sort of hope this leads EA to revive the series, because I feel like this setting has themes even more relevant in 2023 than they were in 2008.
Settings like the Expanse and Dead Space, and even older ones like Alien, try to imagine what the world would look like if (in the words of Cody Johnston) you try to build Star Trek but skip a bunch of steps. You get a highly-technological society that's also a hellhole, owned either by mega-corporations like CEC, or de-facto totalitarian regimes like EarthGov, which constantly try to out-do one another in repression, control and dystopianism. Workers are inevitably *fucked* in a setting like this; there's too much power, technology and wealth concentrated at the top for any sort of social change to be viable. It almost feels like it's too late.
And all you have to do to see the seeds of that world is look out the window, at the society we have in the 2020s.
Dead Space in particular also carries a third element to the far-future space-dystopia: grift religions. In a world where most people live under some form of repression, hope can become a commodity. And that inevitably will lead someone to figure out how to manufacture, package and sell it. The movie Babylon AD portrays something like this with the Noelite church, but Dead Space does it more elaborately.
Back when I played the 2008 version of Dead Space, the Church of Unitology was its most outlandish and least believable aspect. I could believe aliens that reanimated dead tissue, but this? It was *so obviously* a con job, so clearly aimed at bringing a minimal amount of hope to the lower classes while creating the most amount of power for itself. It was so transparently similar to the Scientologist cult, that I had a hard time believing anyone could ever fall for it. I didn't think a modern, post-Enlightenment society could be tricked by this shallow veneer of superstitious, spiritualist "hope".
But then 15 years passed. I grew up and learned about how nobody is completely immune to cult conditioning. I found out how rare critical thinking actually is. Then Qanon happened. I started reading about a cult that tricked a bunch of bigoted, self-righteous people into giving its figureheads money and worshipping a transparently self-serving con-man. I heard people talk with conviction about the certainty of the Great Awakening.
I basically watched the American public (and some Europeans) get tricked by a cult that's about a thousand times less refined and well-constructed than Unitology. It worked. A bunch of shitposts by internet ratfucker Ron Watkins triggered a political movement with evident religious overtones.
Late capitalism so thoroughly rots the brain of people that some will be ready to believe anything if it will give them a feeling of hope, no matter how feeble and transparently artificial.
I'm not trying to say that some garish horror videogame is providing prophecy on the shape of the future. But I do think it's illustrative of the necessity for social change in order for humanity to avoid living in a dystopia that's even worse and stupider than anything imagined by fiction. It's such an obvious and inescapable necessity that even a game published by one of the worst companies in the world can capture it. The worst direct critique of capitalism Dead Space can come up with is a shitty grafitto in a bathroom stall. But indirectly, the inevitability of collapse is almost taken for granted.

Okay so I played chapter 1 of dead space remaster last night here is the bulletpointa
- Isaac talks !!! AND he has a face !!!! Completely different from the faceless and voiceless we had in the original , but I understand why . He does show his face and speak in 2 and 3 , so they are open to playing around
- The voice acting is Good .. I am 99% sure it is a different voice actor for Isaac but he sounds Very similar ( if it Is the same voice actor then I am blaming my warping memory on this )
- DANIELS HAS A GIRLFRIEND . #LESBIANISM
- Fun that they give Isaac new lines and old lines from the original that belonged to the other characters , lines that he would say !! He’ s the ship engineer and specialist he would be the one yelling to go towards the blue light when the ship’ s gravity tethers go wonky
- I like his head … a lot of people didn’ t seem to like how they made him look but I think he still looks relatively similar ? Same people probably also got mad at the fact Nicole has wrinkles ( her deep smile lines ….. wah ) but also Isaac has brown eyes now and i’ ve never been more happy . + his brown hair having no grey Yet makes sense too … the one thing is his face is less round to me ? I wish they kept that
- Necromorphs scary
- They’ re quieter ? I swear they are . Yes they still make noise breaking from the vents but they don’ t make as many groaning / screaming noises while approaching .. either they did this to make it Worse or I need to play with the volumes again ..
- oh they also JUMP AT YOU . I do not remember any necromorph ( besides . The leaper . ) jumping. but imagine my terror when a slasher closes the gap between us ( while I am relearning controls ) by LUNGING . I do not remember that in ds1 at all I screamed a bit
- trying to remember combat triggers is worthless . I could play dead space 1 2008 with my eyes closed hardest difficulty front to back . Now , from minor encounter changes to the fact it has been … 2 years since I played a dead space game , longer since I played 1 , I am not a winner I am a loser
- playing with my little brother watching . He picks up on the fact that the necromorphs are the old crew . I tell them the dead do become the necromorphs we fight . He pauses . “ I had a bad thought … will Chen become a necromorph ? “ Chen died in the first encounter , and I tell him that it is possible ! Since there is a line about “ wearing my old face “ but I say it might take a bit before that happens
- The Kellion gets destroyed in a different manner ! Similar enough , but it was a fun new change ! Also Isaac’ s voice after losing the Kellion … my god . The voice actor is hitting it out of the water .
- it is cute Isaac takes his helmet off when he goes into the Kellion , idk how often he will take it off and on , but every so often is good and it is fun .. a nice way to show he feels safe
- He still has the horror protag hunch . I would have been so mad if he didn’ t
- talking with daniels and hammond , have to go to medical , find the captain . I’ m following the path I know is there . Hear a necromorph on the other end . Normal . “ Chen..? “ that’ s new . I look to my brother and he’ s wide eyed staring . I tell him he was right . He says he hates that . Very nice touch the necromorph that attacks Daniels and Hammond is Chen , adds a bit more to a scene that was already good on it’ s own
NEED to keep playing
