Cant wait to play this in the dark, with 3d audio, DualSense and my cat on my lap, its gonna be terrifying.

Ninver1025d ago

That's very specific. Don't jump scare your cat. It may freak out and claw you to death lol jokes

GaboonViper1025d ago

Oh trust me nothing scares her, she once beat up a rottweiler.

@GaboonViper

Ahh those sweet innocent deceitful eyes

ClayRules20121025d ago

Love that. Look forward to hear your thoughts on the game when it releases!

ClayRules20121026d ago

Oh, I’m ready and willing to have nightmares of this game (as long as this game delivers a frightening and awesome experience) which I have faith the dev team will deliver on their in the end.

My family and I are really excited for this!

Knightofelemia1026d ago

I still wish it was coming out in October to go with Halloween great time ignore the trick or treaters and play this I would so be down for that.

Elda1026d ago

LMAO! Having nightmares after playing a videogame?

PapaBop1025d ago

I did back with the original Clock Tower game. Really tame by today's standards but damn that scared the crap out of me back then.

Elda1025d ago (Edited 1025d ago )

I'm a horror/thriller movie fan since I was 6 years old. In this day in time they don't make good horror films like they did in the late 60s,70s & 80s. In my opinion the horror genre in videogames just aren't scary & I'm definitely not having any nightmares from playing one..lol. Though I thought the demo P.T. had a creep factor to it but nothing that scared me. The Calisto Protocol looks like good gory fun.

Ninver1025d ago

I see someone didn't play F.E.A.R

That's little girl was something else

Elda1025d ago

I played both,not scary in the slightest..lol.

Ninver1025d ago

@Elda

Ball's of steel my friend. You're a rear breed lol

SixFrvgz1023d ago (Edited 1023d ago )

OOO WE HAVE A TOUGH GUY HERE!
THERE'S A TOUGH GUY OVER HERE GUYS!
BE CAREFUL! HE'S SO TOUGH!

Elda1023d ago

First hand I'm no guy. Second I can't fathom how can anyone be scared playing a video game which has nothing to do with being tough.

GamingSinceForever1026d ago

It’s in outer space so nothing that would give me nightmares. 😂

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.

Jingsing304d 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.

darthv72304d ago

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

blackblades304d ago

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

N4GTG304d ago

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

phatak304d ago (Edited 304d 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.

blackblades304d 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

BeRich233319d ago

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

ROCKY28318d ago

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

Inverno319d 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.

DivineHand125318d ago

I blame this issue on poor project management and directors.

Inverno318d 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.

anast318d ago

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

Green-Smurf318d ago

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

mastershredder318d ago (Edited 318d 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.

DivineHand125318d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel320d ago

Callisto protocol 2 should use those cut features

excaliburps320d ago

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

-Foxtrot320d 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.

Toecutter00320d ago (Edited 320d 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.

thesoftware730320d 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.

Azfargh319d 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.
