...the ship's captain was actually an agent of the Church of Unitology, a large and influential religious cult.
He was never an agent; the captain was directing an illegal operation for a company (mining) and only AFTER he found the marker did the church become interested. And the church isn't a cult, its an established religion.
The Ishimura was assigned to retrieve the religion's most valuable relic, the Red Marker, from Aegis VII, under the guise of an illegal mining operation.
Again, it wasn't a guise, this was the Ishimura's original purpose. the captain said so himself:

I don't know whose putting false info in the plot summary, but it has to be corrected.
Dr. Terrance Kyne, the Chief Science Officer, tried to relieve him of duty, only to accidentally kill him in a struggle.
This I have only a small qualm with; it has to do with the video of the killing. It cuts off so you can't see if Kyne accidentally killed the Captain or if it was intentional. Kyne slowly deteriorates mentally, so it might have been on purpose. I think the writers left that video vaguely on purpose. 71.190.188.156 ( talk) 03:57, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
Additionally, the plot is not an 'alternate history'. It is set 500+ years into the future, and there is certainly no clear divergence from any known point in our historical records, thus cannot be an 'alternate history' storyline by its own definition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.168.236.2 ( talk) 21:12, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

I am curious to know if the name Isaac Clark is a reference to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke. If so, I think this should be noted in the trivia notes. I'd add it, but I don't have any confirmation of it as fact. Anyone else know? Test0zero 14:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
It is, unfortunately you can't take my word for it as that would count as original research. I'm not sure if there are any print or web sources which state this. 67.188.150.13 ( talk) 15:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

On Xbox live it says that this game is to be directed by James Wen (the director of the Saw franchise), but I cant seem to find anything to confirm or deny that.

Do you always have to be such a condescending dick? I was merely asking a simple question. I apologize for getting his name wrong (one letter off, and you have to correct me?). And, I checked the IMDb, and didn't find it on there; that is why I was confused. Except for that Xbox live thing, I couldn't find anything about it. So, thank you for the information, but try and keep the condescension to a minimum. "Hope this helps", asshole.
I see nothing condescending in his reply, which specifically corrects and answers your questions. If you feel he's being condescending- that is YOUR reaction - and it has nothing to do with what's been said. If trivial nuances of speech upset you so much perhaps you shouldn't have asked the question. Noctris ( talk) 06:40, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Guys, this is a Wikipedia page for a game that was just released. People coming to this page will want to know what the game is about, not who died at the end.

Has anyone actually looked at the very first source quoted on this page? The first thing you see upon entering this Wikipedia page is that Dead Space uses the so-called "Godfather" game engine, however, the included source makes absolutely no reference to Dead Space using it.

While Concordance does sound more likely, I have heard it is called the Concodrance E.C. - both in the PS3 trophies and also, in the opening greeting video onboard the ship, it sounds a lot like Concodrance. 86.141.126.129 ( talk) 20:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Do we really need a section listing all of these? Meemat ( talk) 23:24, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
No, we don't. The temptation is always there to list enemies in survival horror games because the games involve finding ways to outrun or outfight them, putting them under a lot more scrutiny than bog standard enemies in platformers or basic shooters. The subject can be touched upon without resorting to bludgeoning it into the ground with a full list. The articles with enemy lists (or completely separate lists) will be the ones in the poorest shape, compare those with Silent Hill 4: The Room, BioShock and Silent Hill 3 - what enemy lists? The necromorphs can be covered within gameplay using more general descriptions. Someone another 13:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
I've just deleted all the individual entries, they run headlong against video game guidelines ( WP:VGSCOPE) specifically #5 and #6, BioShock has been an obvious influence on this game, and when you consider that it has a featured article there's really no need or excuse to deviate from its good example in crafting this article. Last but definitely not least, these were added in a block on 31 October, seemingly lifted word for word from this fansite. I wasn't looking forward to removing what I thought was a longstanding crufty section, but having found out that it was added recently in what is apparently a copy-and-paste job, out they go in a heartbeat. Now I need to check the text at the top of the section, has that been lifted from somewhere? Someone another 00:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I added a CN on the statement that DRM had caused the game to have a low ranking score on Amazon. I naturally followed the links given, one of which is to a forum post about DRM by some developer while the other was a link to Amazon. The game does have a two-star score, but it is not uncommonly low compared to the game that it, on Amazon, is being compared to. Far Cry 2 has received 2 stars and Fallout 3, 3 stars, both highly acclaimed games.
While it is certainly possible that these games' Amazon scores are indeed because they are copy-protected, it cannot be said from comments and there mere scores on that webpage to be the result of a coordinated complaint about DRM and it is up to those who make a claim to support it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PerEdman ( talk • contribs) 11:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
There seems to be a debate going on in the Necromorph section about Dr. Mercer's creation, but he simply calls it "The Patient from the colony," in Mercers journal from CH. 2. In one of the mission objectives it is referred to as Tyrant. Officially, Tyrant should take precedence over the name Regenerater, simply because he's not even called a Regenerator anywhere in the game. Let's keep it that way.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Legsofdoom ( talk • contribs) 02:56, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
The last paragraph of the gameplay section is clearly a cut-and-paste job from the AB-Games [1] website. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that it's also Original Research. RlndGunslinger ( talk) 12:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Please refrain from adding any other types. The information contained there now is enough. I know it appears to be missing Twitchers and the Enhanced Necromorphs, but if you look closely, Twitchers are mentioned in the Slasher entry in detail and any Necromorph with an enhanced form states so in its description. The link given beneath them will provide anyone curious enough with extra information. Thanks. 77.96.36.254 ( talk) 18:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Coincidentally, I've found no other mentions of 'Thrashers' in any information about the game, nor the game itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.189.72.254 ( talk) 01:17, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
I heard on some forum that the title doesn't just refer to how the entire game is about, quite literally, death and space, but instead refers to something in the logs. This might explain the game's enigmatic subtitle, "Only the dead survive." Could someone verify this? 69.112.252.69 ( talk) 07:05, 2 January 2009 (UTC)Scifidownbeat
Just to mention - somewhere in the middle of the game Nicole can be seen as she operates the console to open the door (you must protect her for some time, shooting across the chasm).

How are we going to do the plot? There was a detailed plot summary - with very good spelling and grammer - on this article for MONTHS, and it has been cut down and replaced by one that I found much harder to follow (predominantly due to typos, unusual word choices, and what could be interpreted as either very complex sentence structure or confusing run-on sentences). Not to insult those that tried to make the plot summary more compact and concise, but some editing would have been nice before the revised plot summary was put in (at the very least). I'm not really a fan of the cut down version, I found the more detail summary more enjoyable and informative, but that sentiment is secondary to the readability of the section dedicated to the plot. 202.226.209.70 ( talk) 12:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
I'd say keep the shorter version, but it needs to be rewritten slightly. The word order and choice are just awkward. But when I ran my spellcheck I didn't find any typo's? Care to give an example?-- Megaman en m ( talk) 12:05, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
WP:NOT#PLOT - Plot summaries are to be concise - that section is already too detailed on characters and the like. The focus of the article needs to be the development and impact of the game. Yes, the shorter version can be cleaned up, but the longer version is completely unjustified (particularly as it ended with a lot of speculation on what the ending means). -- MASEM 14:59, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Honestly, cutting down on valuable information because we want to seem like professionals and want the Britannica crowd is ridiculous. I see no reason why we should cut down on valuable information 71.245.250.107 ( talk) 01:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
There should be a spoiler tag in the plot summary section, I'm pretty sure there is a specific tag that is supposed to be used. I would add it myself but I don't know what that tag is or how I would find and use it. 209.52.202.67 ( talk) 05:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Something should be added about Antony Johnston and Warren Ellis writing the story and script for the game, they're both award-winning writers which should be notable enough (especially since writing credits on video games aren't that "big"), and have done some interviews if quotes are needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.207.34 ( talk) 13:52, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
The whole Nicole thing seems to me to be like a reference to the Polish novel and subsequent film adaptations. Notable the first of these adaptations was by Andrei Tarkovsky, considered to be one of the greatest arthouse directors of all time. He also directed the movie Stalker, based off the novel Roadside Picnic. The movie and novel are both major influences in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.106.165.83 ( talk) 15:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Again, I have reverted the additions of links to this website for 2 reasons, per WP:ELNO only wikis with a substantial number of editors and editing history can be permitted. Few few wikis fall into that criteria, this is not one of them. Secondly, user Subtank is an admin at the wiki and should not be adding these links as it is a conflict of interest. I have raised this issue here for other edits to weigh in, it is clear in my mind that this link does not follow the criteria, but I, like Subtank, am just one person; so there should be a consensus. I strongly discouraged Subtank from adding further links, and I'd link to see the issue resolved before any further mainspace edits are made. Cheers. Rehevkor ✉ 16:13, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Why does the franchise section omit the comics and animated movie when there are already pages here about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Space_(comics) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Space:_Downfall respectively. I would add them myself except it is so fucking hot here that my brain can't function well enough to cut and paste a synopsis.
On an unrelated note, I censored one of the headings here since it just spoiled the whole game for me, which I am currently playing, and will spoil it for more people in the future who might have wanted to check out this game when the sequel or book or movie comes out.

Let me begin by apologising profoundly for the frustration, ilk and ire I have raised. I am NOT savvy in the ways of this thing called "Wikipedia". All I know is, that it is a very large database of knowledge, and that J.G. Hertzler was irritated that he is not "credited" for his significant contribution to the game Dead Space. I was completely unaware of all the rules and concerns I was "violating" in making what I thought....honestly thought....were minor edits. When my edits "disappeared" I assumed I'd failed to save my work, so I made the revision(s) again. I'm sincerely embarrassed this gave the appearance of an "editing war". I can see how that perception would arise. Additionally, I was admonished regarding a potential "Conflict of Interest", in that I referenced that JG Hertzler is my "client". I felt that more appropriate and professional than divulging the personal nature of my relationship to my "client". I do act as J.G.'s publicist, agent, and attorney, however, it is "off the books". Notwithstanding the foregoing, I can understand a perceived potential CoI.
I've been advised of my missteps, and the suggestion was made that I resolve this matter here....on the game "talk page". Here is what I'd like to have added in the most appropriate manner possible:
1) J.G. Hertzler provided the voice of the game avatar Captain Benjamin Mathius. Here is the citation I used: http://voicechasers.com/database/showactor.php?actorid=9878
2) J.G. Hertzler is, quite literally, Capt Mathius. J.G. went to New York (if memory serves), and was on a sound stage connected to CG sensors that captured his directed movements. The graphic artists used his "real" physical likeness to create the game avatar. I don't know if there is a way to provide this information in the "development" section, or if it's restricted by a non-disclosure....I'd have to go to our files and read the contract. Can J.G. have his voice credit acknowledged in the very least?
Again, please accept my most sincere apologies. I did not intend to create this controversy.

Talk:Dead Space (video game)/GA1
Hi. I think it’s misleading and premature to add the new systems to the infobox. It’s a remake but it’s a separate product. I think the information being presented in the body and lead makes much more sense. Regarding moving the bit about the remake to the lead's first paragraph, it makes more sense in the last paragraph, being part of the game's legacy and success (thus warranting a remake). — ImaginesTigers ( talk∙ contribs) 19:13, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Dead Space (video game) → Dead Space (2008 video game) – Seems like it is time to move to a more specific disambiguation to avoid it being confused for the remake, Dead Space (2023 video game). This is not a Demon's Souls situation where the original game is undisambiguated. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 14:02, 18 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mello hi!

...the ship's captain was actually an agent of the Church of Unitology, a large and influential religious cult.
He was never an agent; the captain was directing an illegal operation for a company (mining) and only AFTER he found the marker did the church become interested. And the church isn't a cult, its an established religion.
The Ishimura was assigned to retrieve the religion's most valuable relic, the Red Marker, from Aegis VII, under the guise of an illegal mining operation.
Again, it wasn't a guise, this was the Ishimura's original purpose. the captain said so himself:

I don't know whose putting false info in the plot summary, but it has to be corrected.
Dr. Terrance Kyne, the Chief Science Officer, tried to relieve him of duty, only to accidentally kill him in a struggle.
This I have only a small qualm with; it has to do with the video of the killing. It cuts off so you can't see if Kyne accidentally killed the Captain or if it was intentional. Kyne slowly deteriorates mentally, so it might have been on purpose. I think the writers left that video vaguely on purpose. 71.190.188.156 ( talk) 03:57, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
Additionally, the plot is not an 'alternate history'. It is set 500+ years into the future, and there is certainly no clear divergence from any known point in our historical records, thus cannot be an 'alternate history' storyline by its own definition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.168.236.2 ( talk) 21:12, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Do you always have to be such a condescending dick? I was merely asking a simple question. I apologize for getting his name wrong (one letter off, and you have to correct me?). And, I checked the IMDb, and didn't find it on there; that is why I was confused. Except for that Xbox live thing, I couldn't find anything about it. So, thank you for the information, but try and keep the condescension to a minimum. "Hope this helps", asshole.
I see nothing condescending in his reply, which specifically corrects and answers your questions. If you feel he's being condescending- that is YOUR reaction - and it has nothing to do with what's been said.

While Concordance does sound more likely, I have heard it is called the Concodrance E.C. - both in the PS3 trophies and also, in the opening greeting video onboard the ship, it sounds a lot like Concodrance. 86.141.126.129 ( talk) 20:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Do we really need a section listing all of these? Meemat ( talk) 23:24, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
No, we don't. The temptation is always there to list enemies in survival horror games because the games involve finding ways to outrun or outfight them, putting them under a lot more scrutiny than bog standard enemies in platformers or basic shooters. The subject can be touched upon without resorting to bludgeoning it into the ground with a full list. The articles with enemy lists (or completely separate lists) will be the ones in the poorest shape, compare those with Silent Hill 4: The Room, BioShock and Silent Hill 3 - what enemy lists? The necromorphs can be covered within gameplay using more general descriptions. Someone another 13:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
I've just deleted all the individual entries, they run headlong against video game guidelines ( WP:VGSCOPE) specifically #5 and #6, BioShock has been an obvious influence on this game, and when you consider that it has a featured article there's really no need or excuse to deviate from its good example in crafting this article. Last but definitely not least, these were added in a block on 31 October, seemingly lifted word for word from this fansite. I wasn't looking forward to removing what I thought was a longstanding crufty section, but having found out that it was added recently in what is apparently a copy-and-paste job, out they go in a heartbeat. Now I need to check the text at the top of the section, has that been lifted from somewhere? Someone another 00:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I added a CN on the statement that DRM had caused the game to have a low ranking score on Amazon. I naturally followed the links given, one of which is to a forum post about DRM by some developer while the other was a link to Amazon. The game does have a two-star score, but it is not uncommonly low compared to the game that it, on Amazon, is being compared to. Far Cry 2 has received 2 stars and Fallout 3, 3 stars, both highly acclaimed games.
While it is certainly possible that these games' Amazon scores are indeed because they are copy-protected, it cannot be said from comments and there mere scores on that webpage to be the result of a coordinated complaint about DRM and it is up to those who make a claim to support it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PerEdman ( talk • contribs) 11:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
There seems to be a debate going on in the Necromorph section about Dr. Mercer's creation, but he simply calls it "The Patient from the colony," in Mercers journal from CH. 2. In one of the mission objectives it is referred to as Tyrant. Officially, Tyrant should take precedence over the name Regenerater, simply because he's not even called a Regenerator anywhere in the game. Let's keep it that way.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Legsofdoom ( talk • contribs) 02:56, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
The last paragraph of the gameplay section is clearly a cut-and-paste job from the AB-Games [1] website. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that it's also Original Research. RlndGunslinger ( talk) 12:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Please refrain from adding any other types. The information contained there now is enough. I know it appears to be missing Twitchers and the Enhanced Necromorphs, but if you look closely, Twitchers are mentioned in the Slasher entry in detail and any Necromorph with an enhanced form states so in its description. The link given beneath them will provide anyone curious enough with extra information. Thanks. 77.96.36.254 ( talk) 18:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I heard on some forum that the title doesn't just refer to how the entire game is about, quite literally, death and space, but instead refers to something in the logs. This might explain the game's enigmatic subtitle, "Only the dead survive." Could someone verify this? 69.112.252.69 ( talk) 07:05, 2 January 2009 (UTC)Scifidownbeat
Just to mention - somewhere in the middle of the game Nicole can be seen as she operates the console to open the door (you must protect her for some time, shooting across the chasm).

How are we going to do the plot? There was a detailed plot summary - with very good spelling and grammer - on this article for MONTHS, and it has been cut down and replaced by one that I found much harder to follow (predominantly due to typos, unusual word choices, and what could be interpreted as either very complex sentence structure or confusing run-on sentences). Not to insult those that tried to make the plot summary more compact and concise, but some editing would have been nice before the revised plot summary was put in (at the very least). I'm not really a fan of the cut down version, I found the more detail summary more enjoyable and informative, but that sentiment is secondary to the readability of the section dedicated to the plot. 202.226.209.70 ( talk) 12:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
I'd say keep the shorter version, but it needs to be rewritten slightly. The word order and choice are just awkward. But when I ran my spellcheck I didn't find any typo's? Care to give an example?-- Megaman en m ( talk) 12:05, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
WP:NOT#PLOT - Plot summaries are to be concise - that section is already too detailed on characters and the like. The focus of the article needs to be the development and impact of the game. Yes, the shorter version can be cleaned up, but the longer version is completely unjustified (particularly as it ended with a lot of speculation on what the ending means). -- MASEM 14:59, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

There should be a spoiler tag in the plot summary section, I'm pretty sure there is a specific tag that is supposed to be used. I would add it myself but I don't know what that tag is or how I would find and use it. 209.52.202.67 ( talk) 05:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

The whole Nicole thing seems to me to be like a reference to the Polish novel and subsequent film adaptations. Notable the first of these adaptations was by Andrei Tarkovsky, considered to be one of the greatest arthouse directors of all time. He also directed the movie Stalker, based off the novel Roadside Picnic. The movie and novel are both major influences in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.106.165.83 ( talk) 15:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Again, I have reverted the additions of links to this website for 2 reasons, per WP:ELNO only wikis with a substantial number of editors and editing history can be permitted. Few few wikis fall into that criteria, this is not one of them. Secondly, user Subtank is an admin at the wiki and should not be adding these links as it is a conflict of interest. I have raised this issue here for other edits to weigh in, it is clear in my mind that this link does not follow the criteria, but I, like Subtank, am just one person; so there should be a consensus. I strongly discouraged Subtank from adding further links, and I'd link to see the issue resolved before any further mainspace edits are made. Cheers. Rehevkor ✉ 16:13, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Why does the franchise section omit the comics and animated movie when there are already pages here about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Space_(comics) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Space:_Downfall respectively. I would add them myself except it is so fucking hot here that my brain can't function well enough to cut and paste a synopsis.
On an unrelated note, I censored one of the headings here since it just spoiled the whole game for me, which I am currently playing, and will spoil it for more people in the future who might have wanted to check out this game when the sequel or book or movie comes out.

Let me begin by apologising profoundly for the frustration, ilk and ire I have raised. I am NOT savvy in the ways of this thing called "Wikipedia". All I know is, that it is a very large database of knowledge, and that J.G. Hertzler was irritated that he is not "credited" for his significant contribution to the game Dead Space. I was completely unaware of all the rules and concerns I was "violating" in making what I thought....honestly thought....were minor edits. When my edits "disappeared" I assumed I'd failed to save my work, so I made the revision(s) again. I'm sincerely embarrassed this gave the appearance of an "editing war". I can see how that perception would arise. Additionally, I was admonished regarding a potential "Conflict of Interest", in that I referenced that JG Hertzler is my "client". I felt that more appropriate and professional than divulging the personal nature of my relationship to my "client". I do act as J.G.'s publicist, agent, and attorney, however, it is "off the books". Notwithstanding the foregoing, I can understand a perceived potential CoI.
I've been advised of my missteps, and the suggestion was made that I resolve this matter here....on the game "talk page". Here is what I'd like to have added in the most appropriate manner possible:
1) J.G. Hertzler provided the voice of the game avatar Captain Benjamin Mathius. Here is the citation I used: http://voicechasers.com/database/showactor.php?actorid=9878
2) J.G. Hertzler is, quite literally, Capt Mathius. J.G. went to New York (if memory serves), and was on a sound stage connected to CG sensors that captured his directed movements. The graphic artists used his "real" physical likeness to create the game avatar. I don't know if there is a way to provide this information in the "development" section, or if it's restricted by a non-disclosure....I'd have to go to our files and read the contract. Can J.G. have his voice credit acknowledged in the very least?
Again, please accept my most sincere apologies. I did not intend to create this controversy.

Talk:Dead Space (video game)/GA1
Hi. I think it’s misleading and premature to add the new systems to the infobox. It’s a remake but it’s a separate product. I think the information being presented in the body and lead makes much more sense. Regarding moving the bit about the remake to the lead's first paragraph, it makes more sense in the last paragraph, being part of the game's legacy and success (thus warranting a remake). — ImaginesTigers ( talk∙ contribs) 19:13, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Dead Space (video game) → Dead Space (2008 video game) – Seems like it is time to move to a more specific disambiguation to avoid it being confused for the remake, Dead Space (2023 video game). This is not a Demon's Souls situation where the original game is undisambiguated. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 14:02, 18 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mello hi!
