"You're crazy, Hammond. You're gonna get us all killed!"
Tumblr media
I was watching TheRadBrad's playthrough of the Dead Space cashgrab Remake, and as it approached the end, I think the biggest problem I had with it by far was how they handled Zach Hammond.
The big draw of the game is the fact that Isaac has a voice in the remake. Gunner Wright does an okay job. It's pretty much on par with his other two performances in DS2 and DS3. I'm so accustomed to Silent Isaac, though, that a lot of the dialog for him (in the beginning) feels like "self-insert" dialog. It gets better towards the end (like there's a genuine sense that they were finding Isaac's voice as they figured out how to make him a proactive character).
But, regarding Hammond: I don't quite know how to put it into words, but Remake Hammond's characterization lacks any charisma. He's bland as hell. Anthony Alabi's performance isn't bad, but the direction and writing doesn't hide his 'okay-ness' as an actor. The story really makes Remake Hammond feel like an inexperienced commanding officer. There's no sense of wisdom or situational control.
The caustic the dynamic between him and Kendra Daniels is erased entirely, and I hate that. It played a big part in how Hammond and Kendra were characterized.
In the absence of it, it makes Kendra cop-jacketing Hammond more suspicious than in the original, because it's lacking that conflict (and the implication that these two people don't like each other before being stuck on a ship full of undead monsters).
Even with as little you got to see him in the 2008 original outside of transmission cinematics, it was how Peter Mensah characterized him that seemed to make him extremely present in the story. How he talks about helping Isaac find Nicole, how he tries to keep his cool when dealing with Kendra and the Necromorphs. There's also that sense of arrogance that comes with a position like his, that you see in his clash with Kendra (who also has an arrogance about her).
Tumblr media
You don't really get that dynamic with either Kendra or Isaac in the remake. DSR minimizes Hammond's role in the game, by, I guess 'mid-point', when Isaac has to deal with hydroponics and the USM Valor. This appears largely in favor of the Elizabeth Cross and Jacob Temple subplot, and more back-and-forth dialog between Isaac and Kendra.
One thing I actually liked about OG Hammond was how little the Marker appeared to influence him. If anything poised a risk to Hammond's life, it was the deadly environment of the ship and the Necromorphs. The latter literally rips him apart, but he's of sound mind when it's happening. It hurts to watch him die so violently, even with Silent Isaac's exaggerated grief (or non-reaction IIRC).
The remake tries to insert this relationship with red shirts named Chen and Johnston to flesh Hammond out as a character. This is a change I would've appreciated if Chen and Johnston survived beyond the opening gambit to actually earn the ending they give Hammond. But they don't.
Hammond basically speed runs Marker Madness toward the end of the game, and gets a silly sacrificial death scene that leans hard on a relationship type that was better established in Dead Space: Extraction with Nathan McNeil and Gabe Weller.
I think Peter Mensah did a lot with the little he was afforded. As one of the two primary speakers in the game outside of Tonantzin Carmelo (OG Kendra's actor), he communicated the tension created by the no-win scenario that was the USG Ishimura outbreak.
And about Kendra Daniels, I personally loved how abrasive she was in the original, but this iteration of Kendra isn't bad (Brigitte Kali Canales is definitely the strongest performer in the game). I actually enjoyed the dimensionality they gave her (particularly in her dynamic with Isaac), even if they made her the "Evil Lesbian". I just wish they hadn't removed the beef between herself and Hammond.
(As far as remakes go, DSR isn't bad. It's a different take on the Visceral Games franchise. Some of its ideas land better than others. It just has the shitty luck of being a EA property still.)

Necromorph of the Day: #4 Enhanced/ Brute Yes, I know the Enhanced Slasher got Its own individual post but the Slasher is a pretty princess with a bunch of variants and costumes so It gets to be special like that. Wanted to get a shot of the tram one in 2 yesterday but uh didn’t since I didn’t want to potentially repeat that part.

Poor attempt at Bebop incorrect quotes
Not trying to copy anyone else who does this but they look fun so here's my attempt at it. It'll probably be not so good as others.
Me: *finding a copy of Dead Space (2008) and playing it.
*Ed enters into my room in typical Edwardian fashion*
Ed: Hiiiiiiiii Eddie-person!! Are you going to play that?
Me: Play what?
Ed: The spooky-ooky alien game?
Me: Spooky-ooky alien game....
Ed: You know the game with the hoooorible aliens? *Makes incoherent growling noises and flails her arms around while making creepy noises*
Me: You mean Dead Space?
Ed: Yup, the death of spaaaaaaaaace!! *runs around nonsencially*
Me: I'm kind of surprise that you know of this game. How old are you again 10, 12?
Ed: 13!
Spike: Months old maybe.
Me: Funny Spike. Not. Anyway yeah I was going to play it for a little bit.
Ed: Ed play next?
Me: It's not really meant for kids though. You can watch but I'm afraid that Jet might kill me if he finds out that I'm letting you play Dead Space, a game in which you have to cut off the limbs and smash necromorphs.
Ed: That looks cool though.
Me: Jesus what do you look up when you are netdiving?
Ed: Lot's of stuff.
Me: Uh huh, we'll maybe I can-
*Jet walks in*: Absolutely not.
Me: Whatever Dad.
