Same here, although my hype went down a bit after the devs said: ''Don't expect space combat even if players will be "outside" from time to time.''
The ''outside'' parts in ds1 and ds2 were great so I'm gonna miss that.

Crows90702d ago

I think they mean specifically space combat. You may be in zero gravity areas or other things like that.

annoyedgamer703d ago

"I knew what I wanted to happen to the player character in the last scene"

Glenn just went and spoiled the ending lmao.

Double_O_Revan703d ago

He was referring to Dead Space when he said that.

REDGUM703d ago

How did he spoil the ending?

badboyz09703d ago

This is the only reason EA's making Deadspace. They wanna steal this games shine.

Vengeance1138703d ago

They can certainly try but even when you do a direct comparison of the two, Callisto Protocol still comes out as the better experience. It took everything Dead Space offered and expanded and enhanced it. While Dead Space is still just Dead Space.

Kubark703d ago (Edited 703d ago )

If that's their reason, then I doubt they're going to be successful. TCP looks superior to the DS remake.

I honestly want both games to be great but I notice short comings with DS in comparison to TCP. The animations of Issac compared to Jacob appear clunky and stiff. The environments of DS appear too clean vs the grimmy and lived in look of TCP. Combat in the TCP looks more immersive and fun compared to the DS remake.

The DS remake doesn't look bad by any means, it's just that TCP seems superior to me based on what I've seen.

cluclap703d ago

How can you say a finished game looks better than one we have seen developer notes on at best? I get it, you hate EA, but don't let that hate allow you to make foolish comments like this one just because its popular opinion. Be yourself dude.

Kubark703d ago

@clucap. Not sure why you're resorting to personal attacks. I'm just saying what I honestly think. EA never even entered into my head when thinking about this.

"How can you say a finished game looks better than one we have seen developer notes on at best?"

Not trying to be combative here but the DS remake is coming out less than two months after TCP. We've seen more than developer notes. We've seen actual gameplay. Admittedly, that footage could be older footage but I'm not sure how much of an improvment will be made in the six months remaining. I hope they can improve it, I really mean that. I'm a big fan of DS.

plmkoh703d ago

As soon as I heard Glen was heading this project it's a day 1 for me.

jBlakeeper702d ago (Edited 702d ago )

I’ve already preordered the collectors edition because it actually looks like a great collectors edition and the statue is made of quality materials based on preview. This and GOW Ragnarok are my two most anticipated games left this year.

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

Julion0715186d ago

You should im really enjoying it

Luc20186d 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.

Profchaos186d ago (Edited 186d 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

Julion0715185d ago

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

ChasterMies186d 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.

Rimeskeem224d ago

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

MrNinosan224d 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.

GamingSinceForever224d 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.

MrNinosan224d ago (Edited 224d 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.

nitus10223d ago (Edited 223d 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%.

Rimeskeem223d ago (Edited 223d 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.

Profchaos224d 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

Elda224d ago (Edited 224d 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.

ModsDoBetter224d 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.

CrimsonWing69224d 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..,

jznrpg224d 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

ModsDoBetter224d 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_Revan224d ago

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

shinoff2183223d ago

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