New The Callisto Protocol Gameplay Will Have You Squirming, Captured on [Current]-Gen Hardware

New The Callisto Protocol gameplay has been revealed during gamescom Opening Night Live and it features mutating enemies and more.

Storm23985d ago

It sure does. Only watched like 30 seconds. I'm not watching anything else. Can't wait to play it.

thorstein985d ago

Yes. No spoilers. I want to experience it all for the first time.

sourOG985d ago

They are doing a good job just showing mechanics and new features. I still don’t know anything about the story but it looks just like dead space. I’m hyped.

TripleAAARating985d ago

Combat and stealth looks a little like TLOU2, looks great!

Crows90984d ago (Edited 984d ago )

@tripleAAA
Actually I was thinking more evil within 2. Combat will probably be more mechanic based with a parry system too.

I'm interested in seeing more as it does appear that he killed all the enemies using the same stasis strategy. Except the stealth kill.

Looks great. This is the game I'm most excited for this year. Elden Ring will be GOTY, but this will be my personal GOTY.

Plus, I don't really trust EA to deliver the goods on the DS remake.

Day 14 for PS5 and Day 360 for XSX!

1nsomniac985d ago (Edited 985d ago )

I’m amazed that I’ve never seen or heard anyone mention that this is actually referenced in Alien. Callisto protocol was the first instance of humans (group of engineers) meeting hostile aliens in space. Which in appearance seemed biomutated horrific human form with extreme aggression.

I’m gaining more faith in the game now they’re releasing/showing more of it.

Eh. Finally played Callisto Protocol via Gamepass. It was fine, but didn't feel like playing more than a couple hours in. I'll still grab it for free though. Have yet to purchase anything from the EPIC store, but still have over 20 games in my library.

Jingsing254d ago

Maybe it would be smarter to just play the free stuff on Epic rather than pay for a Microsoft rental service that gets removed from your library.

darthv72255d ago

Well thanks for that one Epic. Happy to add CP to the library.

blackblades254d ago

I have a lot in my library just need a handheld pc.

N4GTG254d ago

I have over 450 games in my Epic library and haven't purchased anything from Epic. Ever.

phatak254d ago (Edited 254d ago )

honestly even tho I still prefer steam, over the last 4 years I always collected the weekly epic games, and now suddenly when you look at your library one day you realize you picked up around 400 free games a good portion of which are AAA, big win, and with gog, amazon prime, crazy powerful gpu's like 4090, windows 11 being way better than the dark days of windows 8 there has never been a better time to be a pc gamer, this is simply the best time for pc gaming fhat I can remember.

blackblades254d ago

Basically epic for the free games, steam for the deals and both for the free of charge online play amongst other things.

What is everyone's guess on the Next Xbox I'd like to know.
I really think it'll be a PC Console that's open to all Game Stores. I think there will be more than one version aswell including a high end expensive one.
It looks like it's the only way out for Microsoft but an interesting one too..

Game had so many problems - bad frame-rate was #1 problem

BeRich233269d ago

I played it a year later after release on series x and there wasn't any problems, although that is a problem lol

ROCKY28269d ago

cool - I will redownload and give the game another chance :)
thx

Inverno269d ago

All too common for games to have ridiculously long dev cycles and have so much cut. Also too common for newer IPs to have their dev cycle cut short and be forced out before they're anywhere near a complete state. We're playing incomplete games either way cept some get good scores others are thrown to the wolves. 70 dollar standard be doin fine work this gen.

DivineHand125269d ago

I blame this issue on poor project management and directors.

Inverno269d ago

There's that, but these companies know they can hook people with early previews. Show proof of concept with a nice cinematic CG trailer and then show some gameplay with pretty graphics and then push out an incomplete product. Your modern consumer is overprotective about products they know nothing about, they will buy things without much thought.

anast268d ago

It's 100% a management issue from the top-down.

Green-Smurf269d ago

So much can be added but it was decent. Needs a sequel

mastershredder269d ago (Edited 269d ago )

Game was a already-done-before regurgitated mess. More content was not going to save it. Stepped off on the wrong foot altogether. Even free, it goes unplayed.

DivineHand125269d ago

There are points in the game that felt like it was drawn out so if content was cut then it was probably for the better.

The Callisto Protocol 2 Plans Discussed by Director; Mentions Cut Enemies, How They Wanted More Time

The Callsto Protocol 2 plans shared by Glen Schofield, as he also confirms they had to cut enemies and bosses in the first game.

XiNatsuDragnel271d ago

Callisto protocol 2 should use those cut features

excaliburps270d ago

We're never seeing a sequel unless Krafton greenlights it which I highly doubt.

-Foxtrot270d ago

Why? The DLC pretty much wrapped everything up and was awful.

Especially what they did to Jacob over making a sequel which could have gave him better character development.

Toecutter00270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

Callisto Protocol is an extremely underrated game (after the updates). Krafton, however, made a mistake by looking to overmonetize a single player game by cutting out content and selling it as dlc. Paying for extra death animations was scummy. And you can't get away with that crap with a new IP. Save it the sequel or, better yet, don't do it at all. Survival horror is a crowded market.

thesoftware730270d ago

I agree, I played and enjoyed the game very much.

Paying for death animations was a ridiculous proposition from the start, and was destined to fail.

Azfargh270d ago

I still play from time to time, kept installed on my pc and even some mods (dlss mod and some INI config optimizations) improved even more the experience. It is still an fun experience and the graphics and animations helps me want to go back even more... Yeah, paying for death animations: what they were thinking?

amazing horror game and unbelievable graphics, really happy that a sequel is being discussed.
