* AdaptationalWimp: [[spoiler:Hammond unfortunately got the short end of the stick in this regard. Whereas his original counterpart was a headstrong and determined leader who did his best to assist Isaac in his quest while defending himself from Kendra's accusations, and was remarkably resistant to the Red Marker's influences, the remake instead depicts him as a more deferential and passive officer who puts up a rather limp attempt at proving his innocence, all while suffering from an increasingly worsening onset of dementia that became borderline delirium by the time the ''Valor'' arrived on the scene and directly contributed to his demise.]]
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the remake she's makes small talk with Isaac a few times at the beginning, only wonders if the necromorphs are the crew once Isaac himself points out they're wearing Ishimura uniforms while in the original she randomly blurts it out, is supportive of Isaac's attempts of finding Nicole, plants the seeds of Hammond being "suspicious" when he mentions he checked her files and only starts to antagonizes him once she decides it's time to pretend to be suspicious of him, instead of antagonising at the very beginning of the game. All of this makes her look friendly and reasonable, her "suspicion" of Hammond more logical, and her betrayal subtle and harder to notice. She also realizes the Necromorphs are too dangerous to be dealt with and wants to hide the Marker from everyone, while in the original she was just following =[EarthGov's]= orders even though that was clearly a terrible idea.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: She's the most changed character in the remake, and is practically a new character. The only things her remake counterpart has in common with the original are supporting Isaac by hacking doors open, her antagonizing Hammond, leaving Isaac to die after betraying him, revealing that Nicole was dead all along, and trying to take the Marker away, and the way she goes about those actions are all different.
** Original Kendra was short tempered to the point she kept antagonizing Hammond before she even decided to pretend she's suspicious of him being a traitor, was pretty aggressive once she starts to accuse him, never once showed any sign of empathy towards Isaac's quest of finding Nicole, and once she's revealed to be a traitor she's leaves Isaac to die without a care, and in the final chapter once she gets the Marker back, she taunts him over his insanity.
** Remake Kendra comes across as friendlier, since she makes small talk with Isaac at the beginning of the game, mentions that Hammond checked her files to make him look suspicious, only starts to antagonize him once she decides to pretend he's a traitor, and sounds less emotional while accusing him, and she is supportive of Isaac's quest to find Nicole. Once she betrays him, she says the Marker is too dangerous to be in anyone's hand and wants to hide it from everyone, even =[EarthGov]=. While she's still an antagonist either way, she comes across as more of a WellIntentionedExtremist in the remake than the blindly loyal to =[EarthGov]= agent who enjoys making others suffer.

* FakeDifficulty: In consoles it has shades of this. What you have to do against the boss is damage the yellow spots in its tentacles to interrupt its attacks and eventually destroy them. Problem is the turrets don't move fast and the console versions don't have any way to speed up the aim speed. While the boss isn't too difficult, the battle is noticeably harder just because of that fact alone. PC version having ways to speed up the aim speed, on top of mouse aiming being better in general, makes this battle into a non-issue.

* TheBadGuyWins: In the remake, since it can't start Convergence, the Red Marker is trying to spread blueprints for that person to create their own Marker so that Marker can start Convergence, and regardless of the ending, the Red Marker's objectives are fulfilled.
** In the good ending Isaac escapes, [[VideoGame/DeadSpace2 but he'll eventually be captured by the Sprawl]], and while that Marker will be stopped, the game's post credits reveals there are more Markers around. [[VideoGame/DeadSpace3 Eventually other Markers are activated on Earth, and the Brethren Moons will target it as well]], with very little hope of them being stopped.
** The bad ending is even worse, since the Red Marker fully succeeded in corrupting Isaac and he's planning to create more Markers, and considering how competent Isaac is when fighting against Necromorphs, him being on their side would be bad for everyone.

* RetroactiveIdiotBall: The Red Marker, and the Black Marker from ''Martyr'', were trying to ''stop'' the Necromorphs, but ''Dead Space 2'' retcons the Markers' motivations as them trying to make the event Convergence happen, and for that they want the Necromorphs to spread. This created a massive PlotHole with the first game and ''Martyr'', and in-universe it made both Markers unwilling to do the one thing they were created for with no explanation given. The first game's remake fixes this; in ''Dead Space 2'' it's established that the Marker's makers need to be absorved to start Convergence, so the remake's fix was rather simple, by establishing that since the Red Marker's maker is long dead, it changed its priority into spreading blueprints onto someone else and [[PragmaticVillainy it wants to stop the Necromorphs so Isaac can survive and make his own Marker to start Convergence]].

* MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning: With its original makers dead, the Red Marker realizes it can't start Convergence without them. However, it isn't too bothered by the setback and decides to start again with Isaac and make him (and Cross in the remake) a new "architect." While Marker 3A is ultimately destroyed when the payload of the ''Ishimura'' falls back into the planet, it "lives on" by sending knowledge and blueprints into Isaac's mind so he can make new Markers, succeeding where it failed.

* TimeForPlanB: The Marker realizes it can't commence a Convergence Event without its original creators, who are long dead by now.
