Dead Space final?(spoilers inside!!)

Well,I just finished dead space and the ending is kinda cool,you see the shadow and nicole there?Was it really nicole or what was it?thoughts?

he was probably just tripping balls, after being mentally scarred by the horrific things he just witnessed,but i can't wait to find out in the sequel.junaid15

I don't think there is any official indication that a sequel is in the works. EA Redwood Shores is currently working on another brand new title "Dante's Inferno".

Don't infected (don't have a better word for it) people hallucinate before they go totally wacko and kill themselves, I think that's what's happening to him. But I'm not sure.anolecrabcf

I'm pretty sure it's the marker that makes people hallucinate, as like a self defense mechanism to keep them from disturbing it. The marker is causing Issac to have hallucinations of Nicole so that he'll put it back. The ending can be interpreted a number of different ways, but like Junaid said I think he just had a bit of a breakdown after killing hundreds of crazy space zombies, seeing his girlfriend kill herself, witnessing his fellow shipmates die, and being betrayed by the only other survivor, etc.

One thing i've wondered though is where did the hive mind come from? I know the marker was reverse-engineered by the government, and once they found out what it contained (the infection), they put it out in Deep Space, on some little planet in the middle of no-where and then made the system a restricted access zone. But it doesn't say if they created the hive mind after they created the marker and shipped both off to the planet, or if the hive mind was already on the planet (which would be a huge coincidence), or if the hive mind was drawn to it for some reason?

Did anyone rent or buy the video? Is it worth watching?

It's been mentioned before already, so I won't take any credit for what i'm about to state. That being said, if you take a look at all the names/titles of each chapter, and take the first letter of each of the 12 chapters, it will spell out what I think is the bottom-line in regards to Nicole.

For everyone's convenience here it is:

Chapter 1: New Arrivals
Chapter 2: Intensive Care
Chapter 3: Course Correction
Chapter 4: Obliteration Imminent
Chapter 5: Lethal Devotion
Chapter 6: Environmental Hazard
Chapter 7: Into the Void
Chapter 8: Search and Rescue
Chapter 9: Dead on Arrival
Chapter 10: End of Days
Chapter 11: Alternate Solutions
Chapter 12: Dead Space

Regarding the movie prequel, it is good in the sense that it provides a decent backstory to the game. IMO, it's better to have played the game first then watch the movie as opposed to watching the movie first and then playing the game. The movie taken by itself though, is not really that good. Animation is quite antiquated and there's not much detail in the art. It looks like a cartoon from the 80's. The art design could have been intentional, but it still doesn't appeal to me.
