The Callisto Protocol Dev Teases PS5 DualSense Features, Says Next-Gen Graphics 'Look Real'

From PSU: "Striking Distance Studios‘ Glenn Schofield has revealed that the team has some ideas brewing about PS5 DualSense functionality for its upcoming sci-fi horror outing The Callisto Protocol. The game’s not out until 2022, so they still have plenty of time to think about how to utilise the new controller.

As reported by the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine UK, Schofield, who worked on the original Dead Space back in 2008 with Visceral Games, made it clear DualSense haptic feedback is definitely something the team has on its mind."

Another game that will have the better experience on PS5 thanks to the dualsense features. This game looks amazing too.

"Better experience" is subjective

ScootaKuH1220d ago

In what way is it subjective?

The controller is the player's physical link to what's happening on screen so the more feedback you get from that the more immersive the experience. The haptics on the Dualsense can really add depth that can't be achieved with normal rumble so yes a better experience is definitely possible

SullysCigar1220d ago

At this stage, it's starting to feel less like PS5 has extra features and more like Xbox has MISSING features.

There's a reason devs and reviewers use phrases like "literal game changer", but there's always going to be a stubborn few that remain in doubt. Try it, then you'll either understand or cheat yourself with denial.

ArchangelMike1220d ago

Playing Demon's Souls on PS5 it really is a game changer. For example, when you cast a spell, the way the effect ripples across the Dualsence controller - in time with the sound effect and the animation and graphical payoff on screen - it adds soo much more weight and immersion to the experience.

The "better experiece" does very much depent on how creatively developers impliment the feedbck though.

You can only speak for yourself. I might not like the feature and I have turned it off on some games. So, yes it is your OPINION that it will be a better experience. I can't believe you asked the question "in what way", when we all don't share the same experiences. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@DEEHULK88
"I might not like the feature and I have turned it off on some games"

What part of the features do you not like if you don't mind me asking?

Im going to assume the triggers and not the actual haptic rumble?

ChiefofLoliPolice1219d ago

Nobody asked you to be here so the validity of your comment is subjective.

Cannot wait for that first wave of games that truely have a full grasp on next gen. Like Uncharted 4 for PS4, that was the point where i was like "This is what next gen is" and i cannot wait for that first game on PS5 that really blows my mind and makes me say that again.

Neonridr1221d ago

until we get a 1st party game that is made from the ground up for the PS5 we won't truly know. I agree though, I can't wait to see a ND game that is built for only the PS5 for example.

masterfox1220d ago

Look real ?, gameplay teaser please. :)

Hikoran1220d ago

If they have Dead Space in their history then they can just go ahead and take my money now.

SaveFerris1220d ago

I may have to wear brown trousers playing this game if the developers make the graphics 'look real'.

One of these days I will get around to playing the PS Plus version I got as a monthly game in October.

Julion0715152d ago

You should im really enjoying it

Luc20152d ago

There's something about this game that once you start playing it it's difficult to put it down. Very enjoyable and it gives you the sense of dread and loneliness which not many horror games achieve due to boring fetch quests and going over the same areas multiple times. We probably won't see a sequel though. I'm yet to play the dlc I bought on sale.

Profchaos152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

I played it and it surpassed my expectations a actually loved it and was kicking myself for not paying for it and supporting the team.
Maybe it's because I had a fully patched and polished version but I played the 10 hour campaign and walked away a fan

Julion0715151d ago

Same I really enjoyed it as well but I bought it on sale

ChasterMies152d ago

Just rip through it at the lowest difficulty. Turns a bad game into a mediocre game.

PS Plus Finally Made Me Appreciate The Callisto Protocol

History will be kind to The Callisto Protocol, as an ambitious ultra-high-budget game that was flawed but ultimately fun.

Rimeskeem190d ago

I think it’s a lot easier to appreciate a game when you don’t pay for it.

MrNinosan190d ago

I see it the other way around.
I have played so many games on PSNow/PS+ and GamePass that should be could, but I end up doing the same shit as on Netflix. A few minutes here, a few minutes there, and then play nothing.

When I actually buy a game, I invest in it more.

GamingSinceForever190d ago

Then why waste your money paying for PS Plus and GamePass? Sounds like the smart thing to do is only pay for what you want to play.

MrNinosan190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

@GamingSinceForever
The money I spend on GPU and PS+ Premium is so little, I rather have that Netflix experience from time to time than not.
Also my kids love it and plays a lot of different games.

Then every now and then, there are games I didn't had time to buy, but would play.

Right now I'm going through all the Star Ocean games, and every single one (except Second Story R) is on PS+ Premium, which makes them easily available.

nitus10189d ago (Edited 189d ago )

When you purchace a PS+ subscription (even if it just "essentials") in addition to free games you can get discounts on some games and some of those discounts can be as much as 90%.

Rimeskeem189d ago (Edited 189d ago )

That's fair, I find it easier to enjoy a game when I don't pay for it because I know there is no loss to me. I will invest in a game if I buy it but if the game itself isn't great then I have a hard time actually caring to play it. I also criticize more when I buy a game rather than playing it for free. Feels more like a chore.

Profchaos190d ago

I disagree I barely give games I haven't paid for 5 minutes of my time it takes more for a free game to grab me when I've paid for a game I can push myself to love it at times and make sure I get my money's worth

Elda190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

I would definitely think it's the other way around. When you buy a game you invest time into playing. Where games on sub services you may play for a bit & then forget about it & so on.

ModsDoBetter190d ago

The game wasn't as bad as the backlash would lead you to believe. It just wasn't great - it had great visuals, solid world building and sound design.

I feel it was let down by the story and the somewhat inconsistent melee combat. Also marketed as if it was the next Dead Space. At least DS had some scares - there were none in this game.

I played it, I enjoyed it, I immediately sold it whilst the trade price was still high. Glad its on PSPlus now so I can finish off the trophies.

CrimsonWing69190d ago

Yea, game journalists went full r*tard with this game, but now that you didn’t pay for it, it’s a game you can appreciate.

Makes sense..,

jznrpg190d ago

I’ll have to play it eventually. I won’t buy games that less than 10-15 hours at generally. I’ll buy a physical copy really cheap someday

ModsDoBetter190d ago

Honestly the price tanked hard and if went from £50 to £15-£20 within about a month. It'll definitely be bargain bin material soon.

I actually prefer shorter games myself since my backlog is atrocious BUT I just made the mistake of starting Hades this week. Like a 60hr platinum

Double_O_Revan190d ago

Well Gamestop has had several sales where it was literally $5. So, I don't think you're gonna find it much cheaper.

shinoff2183190d ago

Right there with you jznrpg. It's gotta be a long game for me to drop day one money
