Dead Space Any% Speedrun World Record Progression and History

Dead Space is a 2008 survival horror video game, developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The debut entry in the Dead Space series, it was released in North America, Europe and Australia. The game is set on a mining spaceship overrun by deadly monsters called Necromorphs, which were released following the discovery of an artifact called the Marker. The player controls engineer Isaac Clarke as he navigates the spaceship and fights the Necromorphs, while struggling with growing psychosis. Gameplay has Isaac exploring different areas through its chapter-based narrative, solving environmental puzzles and finding ammunition and equipment to survive.

This video is to serve as a insight into how the routes have changed or evolved over time, with the discoveries and how runners have been able to exploit them along who found these tricks and optimised them for later runs.

How far the community for speedrunning dead space has come from 2008 to 2021 this is a underrated story that deserves a listen and a watch.
