Luckily, it's the effluent from the hydroponics bay and isn't human waste. It is a big ship, after all, and all that waste must go somewhere. Down the Drain: Yes, there is a sewer level on the Ishimura.Doomed Protagonist: Just about everyone you play as.Subverted when it's revealed that two of the main characters survived and are on the Sprawl in the Dead Space 2 DLC. Played straight when almost all of the cast dies. The developing interviews and original Dead Space makes it seems like Isaac is the only survivor. Doomed by Canon: Played straight and subverted.And just to make matters worse, she and Weller are headed to the Sprawl, where this will happen all over again in the sequel. Then McNeill succumbs to blood loss from cutting off his hand earlier and transforms into a Necromorph, forcing Lexine to kill him. Lexine tries to warn them but their shuttle's communicator is busted. As they leave, they pass the shuttle carrying the cast from the first game. After escaping the colony and later the ship, McNeill, Weller, and Lexine manage to get away on one of the working shuttles. Downer Ending: As per the usual Dead Space formula.The closest is Lexine, and she's a terrible shot. Covers Always Lie: Extraction does not star a brown haired woman fighting off the Necromorphs.That battery in the medical bay that Isaac had to put back in while the hunter was chasing him? You took it out to lock in the abominations spawned from the injured workers in the hallway. Isaac also had to repair the disabled asteroid defense guns because you disable them in Extraction to keep your shuttle from being shot down automatically. In Extraction, you get to see the tentacle pounding on the wall creating that hole, and you help them weld the door shut to keep it away. For example, as Isaac Clarke, you had to blow up a welded-shut door to progress in the medical deck, and shortly beyond you saw a (dormant) tentacle-hole. It also manages to neatly explain a lot of the things you saw in Dead Space. You're essentially going through Dead Space in reverse. Continuity Nod: Overflowing with them, to the point of Continuity Porn.The pulse rifle's secondary needs to be charged for a few seconds.The Contact Beam needs to be charged to fire.It's usually just for puzzles (but works a treat on crazies). The secondary fire for the Rivet Gun superheats the rivet.The spider-like Necromorph from the novel Martyr makes an appearance.Not a character, but the pistol from Downfall.
While Lexine takes care of Weller, Weller is sitting in a room where the biomass that has been spreading in the ship has begun to reach the location where the escape shuttle is housed. McNeill has to cut off his arm after being impaled in the hand during a boss fight while in vacuum, but then fights the Necromorphs with a Contact Beam in his remaining arm while making a run for the shuttle. Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Falls under point #4 of the trope considering how the Necromorphs are made.She doesn't make it because Eckhardt abandons her when she calls him out for seeding Unitologists in the Ishimura's ranks. The most prominent main character is McNiell, a cop on Aegis VII, but we also take turns as Sam, Lexine's boyfriend who goes nuts in the first chapter, Weller, and for one level, Dr. At the beginning of each chapter, we get a character looking at themselves in a mirror (or something else) as a nod to the player to remind them who they're currently playing as. And Now for Someone Completely Different: The point-of-view character shifts a lot.Some editions of Dead Space 2 include Extraction HD on the disc.ĭead Space: Extraction provides examples of: This version omits the unlockable motion comics, although all six issues can be downloaded on the PlayStation Network.
