Did they get all of the necromorphs wrong?

[Gracey Face]

I am watching a lets play to see if the game is any good (remakes tend not to be) and I have noticed in the captain transformation scene and the nicole autopsy scene that they got the physical way necromorphs are set up wrong. In that they have the arms mutate into the scythes and the mini arms on the chest be intestines coming out. In the original the mini arms were the original arms slowly fusing in to the torso and the scythes were mutated shoulder blades and muscle.

Since it's a lets play and so I can't get a good look at other necromorphs did they get all of the necromorphs wrong or just these 2?

Wish I could tell you friend, but they all look the same after you remove the limbs.

All the necromorphs are woke now

Play it and refund it

ALL of the slashers now have the same body horror bits and don't deviate from it whatsoever. They all have the scythe hand variants, all missing the lower jaw, and all have some form of open guts intestines hanging out with the only change being if it's wearing clothes, nude, or the military suit variant as stand ins for the security team.

The rest have been given much darker textures with faint glowing effects to some to pick them out in the darkness. The exploders now no longer shriek and shout loudly to announce their approach and their sacks have a much less pronounced glow to them.

Slashers are kind of varied in that aspect. The scythes could form from their arms and intestines become vestigial arms or the scythes form from their shoulders and the persons real arms become vestigial. This is seen in DS2 and DS3.

It wasn't varied. Female slashers have the scythes formed from thier arms and males have the scythes formed from thier shoulder blades (for some reason). This is what this remake is getting wrong.

I can't think of any male slashers from the originals that had their arms be the scythes.

I forgot to mention, the exception is DS3, where some slashers have too many mini arms for those to be thier original arms and things like that, but part of the visual design for DS3 was that even the human sized forms were made from multiple corpses at that point presumably to conserve biomass.

They all look bald, i think necromorph transformation will do that to you, pretty nice attention to detail

You might want to take another look at Dead Space 2 then. The naked slasher (which is also present in Dead Space 1), twisted slasher, two of the male civilian slashers, Earthgov Security Slasher, and possibly the armored slasher (not sure because they are extremely mangled) are examples of male slashers that have scythes form from their arms. Adding more variety to the looks of the slashers from their mutations isn't a bad or unfaithful thing. We've seen this stuff before.

Ah, wiki pages. Got to love them.

Ayup, they can be quite useful sometimes

I was more pointing out how you read the wiki page wrong and how the one male slasher on the wiki page who actually has his blades coming out of his arms isn't something I ever remember seeing in game.

But for someone who just looks at a wiki page and that is the end of it (and somehow misidentifies half the images..?) then they'll come to incorrect conclusions.

I looked at wiki page to refresh my memory because I do and did remember male slashers with scythes coming from their arms. There are images right there too so I don't know what else to tell ya.

There's not images, there's a single image. From DS2. That I don't even remember appearing in DS2.

Half the ones you mentioned are either female slashers or indeterminate (ie earthgov or armored).

There are multiple images, and there's 1 section in particular that says male civilian slashers. The others that I mentioned you can see are male.

No you can't. You can't really tell gender on them (because they obviously can't have obvious genitals on display for a PG game). So you have to go by either rough face, which indeterminate on most of the models, or by the way they're mutated which follows a very clear rule, with 1 (seeming) exception when you can use clothes and such to tell.

You shouldn't be arguing this. You know you're wrong.
