When I started New Game Plus on the same save file I noticed that I was given the following logs in the side missions tab.

Negotiations
Unexpected Visitors
Last Will and Testament
Life on the Sprawl
{Indecipherable}

I'm not sure what the conditions are for unlocking these, as I noticed that on the game completion screen, it says Text Logs Awarded.

Edit - 05/02/2023
Just finished New Game Plus having collected all of the Marker Fragments. Still missing 3 logs in the side missions tab. Have no idea how you get those. Haven't found any information online about them.

There are two logs that are gained from the Break Room as Easter Eggs that only spawn by doing a specific combination of Melee Swings and Stomps in the red circle. One gives you a text log and the other is an audio log Sea Shanty. There is one other code that gives you two nodes as well. These will show up in your Side Missions tab when collected.

The Text log, Titled UNKNOWN, requires this combination. of Stomps and Melee: M, S, S, S, M, S, M, S, S, S, M, S
The Audio Log, Titled Strange Shanty: M, S, M, M, S, M, S, M, M, M, M, S

Got this in chapter 10 and I've definitely missed several on the way, so there are more than enough to easily get this cheevo in one playthrough.

There are a total of 188 logs throughout the game. These are RIG communications, and audio and visual recordings that give additional depth and insight to the storyline.

In a slight twist to the original game, logs can also be found on terminals on the walls and you need to click it to retrieve the data from the USG Ishimura. They can be identified by an envelope hologram.

Logs can be found all over, but some are just interactive and you will not need to put any effort in to collect them. The key with collecting the logs is to be thorough; enter every room that is available to you and make sure you’ve collected everything before moving on.

For me, the achievement for 75 logs unlocked towards the end of Chapter 5 and the 150 logs towards the end of Chapter 10; so it should be easily done if you’re thorough. Logs can the tracked on the fourth tab of your RIG.

Edit: if you didn’t quite make the 150 logs required, you can find any you missed during a New Game Plus playthough.

Good luck!

They are also the comms you have with people on the ships(s) - mine popped in Ep 10, when the shuttle left and I talked to Nicole.

As per Story Teller (10G), over the course of playing Dead Space, you’ll automatically unlock at least 75 logs through story-related conversations and transmissions. This achievement does require you to find more of the optional logs, though, dotted around the USG Ishimura.

Audio Logs, Text Logs, and Security Recordings are often in plain sight, and if you’re careful to scour every room in the process of finding all of the Weapon Upgrades, Schematics, and completing the Side Missions (all of which you’ll need to do for other achievements) then you should easily find 150 logs by the end of Chapter 11. 

If you’ve reached the end of the game and you haven’t unlocked this, then two sections in particular - Chapter 5 and Chapter 9- are worth looking out for. 

Chapter 9 isn’t able to be revisited after you finish it, and it does hold a few optional logs, so you can revisit this on your New Game+ playthrough to find any stragglers.

Meanwhile, Chapter 5 sees you revisiting the Medical bay of the Ishimura, and it’s easy to miss that a lot of new logs have been dotted around this area since you last visited, especially once you start getting chased by the Hunter. If you feel like you’ve explored every area and haven’t gotten the achievement, it’s worth going back to Medical and revisiting areas where you were previously being chased by the Hunter.

Additionally, some of the logs are tied to the Side Missions, so make sure you’ve completed all three of those as well.
We’ll have a more in-depth guide incoming for the location of each log soon, but rest assured if you explore each side room in the Ishimura, you shouldn’t have a problem getting this achievement. There’s more than 150 logs to find in the game, meaning you don’t have to find them all to get the achievement.

At first I thought I was going to have a huge problem with this and have to go and find every one of them, but I actually got both achievements just going through the game once. You will come across text messages, audio logs, and video messages, just keep looking in every room and as you walk; you will come across many of them. You can miss 18 throughout the entire game meaning you do not need every single one, so don't fret if you miss one or two. There are 168 in total. You will also get a log for each time somebody talks to you and tells you what to do.

This is not too difficult, just make sure to thoroughly check each room you're in. There are more logs to be found than you need for the trophy, so if you miss a few you can still get it. This trophy should unlock on later chapters like 10, 11 or 12, depending on how many logs you miss.

168 logs in total can be found throughout the game, however you only need to collect 150 for all log related trophies.

Records include all the information that you receive during the game. These are audio recordings, video recordings and text logs. There are 168 entries in the game, some of them are simply scattered across different levels, and some you will receive when Hammond and Kelda give you tasks. Below is a list of the number of logs, broken down by chapter and type.

Chapter Selectable Story Total

1 4 14 18

2 11 8 19

3 7 6 13

4 5 15 20

5 2 13 15

6 6 7 13

7 5 8 13

8 1 8 9

9 2 8 10

10 4 14 18

11 0 10 10

12 1 3 10

From the list you can see that the “Story Teller” trophy will unlock around Chapter 5, and the “Legend Teller” trophy around Chapter 11.

I got this trophy in Chapter 11, when we called the shuttle. I collected everything without guides, it’s a corridor game, you’re unlikely to miss anything if you vacuum all the corners. Also, the trophy dropped despite the fact that there were gaps among the entries in the database.

When you have almost completed the mission, i.e. when you already need to sit on the trolley and complete the chapter, just look in the database how many records you have collected at this level, if something is missing, then go look again)
