  • As the outbreak on Aegis VII kicked off, one man in particular seems of particular interest. Brant Harris was a miner who while on the planet would inadvertently create two nurses out of one nurses having given into his hallucinations and becoming violent. After doing so, he would be transported up to the USG Ishimura in an effort to keep him contained and study what happened to him as a Dr Mercer would come into contact with him. Being a unitologist himself, he would implant necromorph tissue into the brain of Brant creating an entire new class necromorph that to a normal person, they would have no idea of surviving. But how does the hunter achieve this? lets discuss that in todays episode!

      @@Ethonra appreciate it! I love the additions in the remake that streamline the story and just make it even better. I love that they understood that the original was so good they couldn’t really outdo it so they focused heavily on creating more memorable characters that show the desperation aboard the ship. The original had the gameplay down pat, it just needed a little touch up on characters like Hammond and I love how they incorporate how Isaac sees Nicole when it’s really Dr. Cross, that was an actual shocking revelation that makes so much sense and really just streamlines everything that much better. In this version at least you aren’t seeing a fictitious hallucination of Nicole, you are seeing her likeness projected onto another human being and the same is happening for them, it’s a great way to show the markers mind warping abilities

If DS3 is to go by, it seems they let the most populated planet of a civilisation undergo convergence so a new moon is born to extend their network while the other mainly feast on the colonies. In the end they send out markers to a lot of planets that are on the verge of having life forming on them, so it can guide them in a specific way & accelerate their evolution, they are almost like farmers and the memories & knowledge of the consumed species allows them access to all the knowledge about life supporting planets that species has discovered until being absorbed, so they know where to send their markers & feast can start again in a few dozen millenia...

      ​​​@@owenjones7522 yes, not just him but all necromorphs, its whats the true horror is. If you get morphed after death, your consciousness is enclosed in your meatsuit without being able to control it, if a convergence is succesfull your essence gets absorbed into the brethren moons network so they can dissect all your memories for new hunting grounds and ways of manipulating others, everything that makes you is being "digested" forever at that point & your biomass is being repurpoused as needed infinitly. DS3 goes a bit deeper into it towards the end.
      There is truly no rest in peace if you are within the range of a marker when you die and its as close to hell as an intelligent being can get, funny enough the unitologists were right, you will be all whole as a species...in eternal torment. DS2 gives a glimpse when Isaac is in the unitologists crypt where they freeze all of the corpses for convergence and you see them writhing in pain and screaming for a second when the markers shows you whats actually behind the courtains, terrifying.

    • @greatclubsandwich5612
      @greatclubsandwich5612 Рік тому +4

      I didn't like the way DS3 handled the regenerators. They were introduced too early, and the high amount of them cheapened their menace. In the previous 2 games there was 1 per game and they were terrifying, terminator esque stalking boss monsters, where as in the 3rd, they were just another enemy type.
      Moreover, in the sequence where Isaac retrieves the escape ship and it starts firing it's engines, you can stasis a hunter in the path of the engine firing on a catwalk but the engine has no effect on the hunters, not even blowing it's limbs off. This is really dumb because of you played DS1 and got to this point in the game, the hunters had been chasing you for a chapter and a half and this seems like how you are supposed to kill them, mirroring the first game, but no, nothing.
      Instead you shoot them with a turret and blow them into space.

  • @EagleTempest

    I'm reminded of the last of the Mercer-Harris extra audiologs in the game in how much of his, its, mental faculty is still there though losing ground. "And how do you feel now?" "Dead. Awake. Whole." Even before that in the early parts of that final extra audiolog Harris questions to Mercer if he tries to kill him, almost like he doesn't want to though the Marker ripping the threads of his humanity out. It may give some sense in the latter parts of the game where the Hunter doesn't seem to actively want to do any harm to Mercer but only Isaac in each encounter that Mercer is locally around or nearby.

  • @necrochemical5572
    @necrochemical5572 Рік тому +37

    personally, my theory is that the hunter actually is a natural form a rare individual can become, rather than anything Mercer did to make it. See, my theory goes as this: Harris was an Architect, someone who, once getting the needle through the eye, like Isaac and Stross, could see and interpret the things the Marker had uploaded to his brain and build another. I think Hunters are the step before Ubermorph. At some point, the ubermorphs regeneration has to come into play, and i can't think of any other point in which it starts besides the stage Harris got to. We just don't see an Uber because there's already a Hivemind nearby. Whereas, on the Sprawl, there wasn't one yet, and following your theory on Ubermorphs being a step towards a hivemind, with them seemingly having the ability to command other necros, the 5 glowing bulbs on their heads in the same place as a hivemind. And let us not forget the regenerators in dead space 3 that have the exact same physiology as the Hunter, with clearly defined marker symbols carved into their flesh. So my thoughts are that the cycle goes Architect, hunter/regenerator, fuses with another slasher that has bulbous growths just beginning to form, becomes ubermorph, after that it takes the gathered biomass and becomes a hivemind.

    The Hunter's regeneration has to be also fueled directly by the marker in some way and not just directed by the marker. It seems to be creating mass somehow to regrow the body parts and doesn't look to be getting that mass from its surroundings. From memory the marker was hoped to be an unlimited fuel source and so maybe the marker is fueling this regeneration.

      If you are outside of a markers influence zone than there is no bacteria, everything turns into a bio soup. The bacteria or virus is just a quick way to turn somebody into a necro as the infector does it to corpses, but a marker doesnt need it, it can do it trough its signal waves that alter DNA & cells trough different frequencies, this can be seen in DS3 when it resurrects all killed by the unitologists at once as a necro once the marker is set free of containment. The only reason it does not always do that and goes the slow & sneaky way like in DS 1&2 is because the risk of people actually recognizing it as the source of the necro outbreak is very high and it could be destroyed before reaching its goals.

      I have some Theories
      1. Plant cells and solar power or star power from the ship or stars. I.e. any power source
      2. Cancer cells probably with human growth hormone.
      3. Off screen hunter eats and stores vast amounts of stem cells in its rib cage. Hence the wonky movement of the legs it doesn't focus too much making them armored since it knows it'll get cut off and regenerate them.
      4. There are bits of bacteria from the surrounding areas. The marker attracts them like a magnet.
      5. It recycles its own destroyed cells hence you can never really use its blades or torso. They're magnetic like and join back together at some point.
      Overall i go with the plant cells and recycle its own cells since literal FIRE kills it at high temperatures. Basically incinerating every cell in the body that not even one can recycle the ashes.v

    I think the hunter in the original was perfectly fine from a gameplay point of view. It is a miniboss that you have to slow down and escape from several times. These moments in the game are intense.
    The remake goes further with several side characters and gives you way more information about them and what they did. For me, that enhanced the whole experience of the game even more.

    • @ericlamb4501
      @ericlamb4501 Рік тому +3

      Maybe, maybe not. At the end of the day, the Hivemind is just a collection of lots of corpses in the shape of a huge monster, with the name coming from some people naming it, realistically it might not have anything at all to do with a telepathic Necromorph hivemind. For all we know the Creep growing over everything could also relay those signals. But given the end goal is always to gather enough mass for Convergence, I don't think a small mining colony and ship would be enough for that, I think had Issac not kicked ass after running out of bubblegum and engineering tasks, the ship would have probably floated until it hits a populated station or planet, then crashed to start infecting that, if not just sat around passively farming anyone who got curious and investigated. That is also not mentioning that the Valor was gonna reduce the Ishimura to glitter with a nuke. (Ejecting the pod with Chen in it actually fucked them over, so Hammond is pretty much responsible for getting all of those soldiers killed)

      ​​@@ericlamb4501 in DS1 we have the Leviathan on the ship (early form of hivemind lacking mass) and the one on the planet that most likely is the one formed from all the scientists & military personell that experimented with the marker 200 years before the Ishimura arrived, it probably was the only necromorph as it absorbed all slashers & co to sustain mass and to "wait it out", since it was a dead planet it did not need small necros running around looking for prey (no old necros popping up like in DS3 supports that) and when the colony was established the marker went the sneaky way of causing dementia until chaos broke out and only then it unleashed the hive mind to quickly overcome them.
      In DS2 there might have been one that we don't encounter as the station is significantly bigger than the Ishimura, but the marker built by Isaac & Earthgov was also much bigger and had taken the more direct route of just starting outright reanimating the dead and going for it. I dont know if there was enough biomass for a full convergence though, i think it wanted to create a mini moon that is able to call in the brethren moons trough their telepathic network.
      DS3 is very interesting because it seems that Tau Volantis had a LOT of aquatic life forms as it was almost completely covered by water and the aliens were really big (as many aquatic creatures are as the water supports their large mass). I think thatswhy a lot of the huge frozen hiveminds were formed as they had to fight much larger creatures, the alien necros we fight are basically infants or younglings that could hide in parts of the city that didnt froze. The crab necro we fight mid game is basically an animal (the logs refer to it as a crustacian) not one of native aliens. We have a Leviathan on the ship that seems to be kinda small & only within the engine deck. The marker signal in DS3 is very strong, as the aliens constructed hundreds if not thousands to use them for energy before realising what would happen (the markers were sneaky again & let them do it before starting their bs), plus you have an almost complete brethren moon in orbit that tries to convince everybody it can to turn off the alien device that froze it because it knows its in a voulnerable state where anybody chosing the option to let it crash in the planet could kill it. I think it didnt really need more bio mass, thatswhy it didnt form one out of the failed SCAF expedition, instead it let them roam the planet as necros because it knew that sooner or later more people will come and it can use them to push the new arrivals to the machine & manipulating them into turning it off, wich did happen in the end.

    I always love to imagine whenever the parts showing off the anatomical alterations come up, that it’s an alternate timeline where Isaac became a biologist, and instead of hallucinating, the marker just loosened his inhibitions to the point where he just sits there talking to himself, bullying some poor monster with stasis and a plasma cutter for hours on end to make these videos. Good times.
    Though I would point out some things, like the lack of skin being a product of muscular hypertrophy tearing through it and it not regenerating zinc the flesh underneath has no need for protection any more. And for the claws on the feet they seem to be there for stability. Extending kind of like the legs on certain bipod stands, with the fusing of his arms to his chest helping to further centralize his, well, center of gravity, all to help mitigate his lumbering hull and offset the imbalances caused by swinging those ginormous scythes around. I also suspect the thing hanging from where his missing jaw should be are remnants of his missing (now sliced to ribbons) tongue (almost like a tongue in cheek joke by the hive mind/brother moons that he won’t be talking anymore) and the tendons:muscles that would have held his jaw in place.
    Also Mercer being a manipulative “doctor” who uses that as a means to indulge their own innate malicious intent seems like it might be a parallel with the infamous,… Mengle? Mengelev? Whatever the fuck that animal’s name was. What with the whole, seemingly random focus on just pulling people apart piece by piece for asinine experiments.

    I think the marker allowed the hunter to be developed because it was curious. It might have even been considering the hunter as a more common addition to the assault team. If the experiment panned out without fail.
    Like the hunter said "I am awake and dead. I am whole." Meaning the idea of a sentient necromorph was something the creature was particularly interesting in for a moment. Ironically that doctor potentially could have made the unitological belief an actual strategy that the moons would possibly have used.
