I think Isaac died, the shuttle will either be on a set course back to Earth bringing with it the alien disease or it'll be like Aliens and have Isaac floating in space for 52 years in cryo-stasis, recovered by space marines and back to the planet where the marker was found to substantiate the story. Either way, it'll be another awesome game. Great job Schofield!!

@NuBeatz

Isaac did not die. That scene at the very end was another hallucination caused by the Red Marker, which was left to be destroyed by the falling planet chunk.

I agree with Vesipham.

The body wasn't mutated enough to actually be one of the necromorphs. There were no "mild" mutations with that...it was all or nothing so it definitely had to be a hallucination.

They better make it better than the first Dead Space! Dead Space is an average game is very repetitive. While playing it I noticed it was a rip-off of 3 games! It is a rip-off of Doom 3, Resident Evil 4, and Halo 1.

The setting was taken from Doom 3, the upgrade system was taken from RE4, and the final cutscene is the SAME EXCACT scene as Halo 1's final scene!

@Vesipham &Tasomo

It wasn't a Necromorph and it wasn't Isaac hallucinating. It was Kendra stowing away on the shuttle after she got pwned by the Hive Mind. She may be turning into a Necromorph or she may be exacting her revenge on Isaac. Either way, it wasn't a hallucination. The marker makes people see things they want to see not things they don't want to see. It manipulates people not terrify them to that extent.

@NuBeatz

You do realize that Kendra was smashed to pieces by the Hive Mind -- the controlling force behind all the Necromorphs -- right?

Isaac CLEARLY saw a demented hallucination of Nicole. You can even see the Red Marker's coding flash on the screen as she's screaming in his face.

I loved Dead Space, didnt disapoint me at all and cant wait what they will do for a 2nd. My only compliant's are the game is all about fetching item's, which would have felt tedious had it not been tied into the well ploted story and maybe a little to much looting. And as for the Army of two seqaul, I bet they will add another protaganist and call it Army of 3.

More than anything it was probably the marker messing with him one more time out of rage.

Remember, the marker was sentient and knew Isaac better than anyone because it was climbing in his head. If anything, Isaac was suffering from the same kind of PTSD that war vets who've seen horrible things suffer from.

This is a guy who saw over a thousand people butchered and mutated into some truly creepy stuff. It's a miracle his mind was able to hold together longer than 20 minutes.

We'll see exactly what happened at the end of the first game in the second game. Either way, all scenarios sound good and can be added upon with an entirely new story or even protagonist. This is just the first of 3 games planned so we've got a crapload more Dead Space to look forward to! :D

As far as Kendra being destroyed by the Hive Mind. Yes, I saw that but the whole game is revolved around recumbenence and the reanimation of dead tissue which means you can't rule out anything as far as a corpse! :)

Bunch of spoilers here. I haven't finish the game yet because of Bioshock, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked it.
