The Callisto Protocol is releasing here at the end of 2022 to give a shot in the arm to the survival-horror genre. And while Callisto largely hits all of the basic benchmarks that you'd expect from a game of this type, it doesn't do anything special to make it a memorable experience.
Sony announces a change in the PlayStation Plus lineup for Japan. Tropico 5 replaces The Callisto Protocol for October due to certification issues.
All playable October 3.
With so many games I truly was not feeling like spending full price on The Callisto Protocol. Now I'll have no excuses. Nice choice with Weird West as well. Solid month
Callisto was ok...but that was before i played RE4 and Dead Space remakes.
I will see how i feel about it when i replay it after recently playing the hell out of the RE4 DLC.
I bet sony got the Callisto protocol on the super cheap! Shame it was an ok game but wasn't on the level of dead space
I'm gonna get a lot of shit for this!
It was an ok game BUT, the big hairy but here. What I did like that it was a different story than Dead Space and in that sense it was pretty good!
I've played all Dead Space games remake included and all RE games as well. The Remakes are insanely well made and I loved the new Dead Space but it was really well made but I also remembered so much of it so in that sense Callisto was "new" to me!
I really enjoyed that. I didn't have issues with the combat as well, I went into the mindset of Dead Space and used the Gravity glove as well as weapons and I recommend everyone playing on medium or easy to get that sense of Dead Space!
The Graphics and atmosphere was fantastic.
@Andy why would you get crap for liking a game? Who cares what other people think about it? I've never played Calisto but will try it out.
@Andy_Dee - Bro, no one's going to give you crap for that, haha. That's a completely reasonable comment!
Definitely a solid month. Also, all three games are PS5 games, which may be a first
Excellent Month...hoped that both Callisto Protocol and Weird West would show up in PS+ or Humble Choice
It's interesting that Devolver had that statement about subscriptions. PS+ has a bunch of Devolver games like Inscription Death's Door probably some others and Wierd West is Devolver too.
What's Games with Gold getting this month?
Oh so you mean they don't even get monthly games anymore but they still pay the same?
GP Core has access to over 30 different games.
Think if PS+ got rid of monthly games but instead had a bigger PS+ Collection like they used to have for PS5 gamers.
@Einhander1972 No more monthly games but It comes with a library of 25 games that they say they will update 2 or 3 times a year. The current 25 are OKish but old so not a good list for me. It's pretty rubbish TBH and feels like probably the bare minium they can get a way with offering without all out scathing criticism. Getting all subs over to GP proper is still the ultimate goal.
Also, for those interested in GP numbers (as outlined in the leak) you should expect to hear Microsoft claim that September marks the biggest rise in GP subs. This will be true but it will also be massive PR. Take a closer look and you see that the 10 million or so Gold members are being converted to GP core this month. This is where the majority of the bump will come from. Microsoft should be expected to insinuate, quite falsely, that this is due to Starfield.
GP Core you say, they're not on game pass too right, it's not just a list of recycled game pass games circa 2019 right?
Just an FYI I still have access to the collection, how many games will you get to keep from your GP Core collection?
@Einhander1972 Just checked and the full list is 36 games not 25. There's quite a few first party games that appear on Core and Ultimate like FH4. But not sure if all are on Ultimate. You only have access to the games while subbed and don't keep any like you did with 360 games with Games for Gold. You do still get access though I think to any Xbox One games you redeemed with Games for Gold when subbed. Anyway the full list if you're interested is:
Among Us
Astroneer
Celeste
Dead Cells
Descenders
Dishonored 2
DOOM Eternal Standard Edition
Fable Anniversary
Fallout 4
Fallout 76
Firewatch
Forza Horizon 4 Standard Edition

Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition
Stardew Valley
State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition
Superliminal
The Elder Scrolls Online
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
Unpacking
Vampire Survivors
Oh yeah, seems like a bunch of old and recycled game pass games.
That must be a real let down for xbox owners especially gp ultimate owners, but I guess the games they were adding before were so bad they don't even care anymore.
Thanks for being so helpful.
Well... the list is still orders (upon orders) of magnitude better than what GWG was giving out.
Eonjay
How is this a better solution than just giving out better games?
The only winner here is Microsoft, they are charging the same and spending basically nothing.
It's like the other day when xbox fans were talking about how profitable xbox was while looking at bar graphs that showed Sony was making close to double the revenue but was taking home even less profit.
The real way to look at that is that PlayStation is returning a much larger amount of their revenue back into the company and the customer.
Microsoft as we see here is returning less of what xbox consumers are paying back into the games and services.
Bro come on I don't have anything by Microsoft playstion since the ps1 but damn leave them alone all this flaming the other system and stuff. I sure the people that have the equivalent of ps+ on Ms are fine with it. They choose to use it. You of course can state your opinion on the matter I just get tired of all the comparisons and arguments about what's better on the subscriptions. It's childish I didn't even do that back in the nes and genesis days even though it's been happening since then.
kills it he says lol
mediocre PS+ essential offerings as usual. Enjoy your farming sim, bud haha
Yea that farming game WHO PLAYS THAT Lmaoooo. I might download it for a hot second to cut some hay real quick always wanted to drive a John Deer tractor when I pass by farms in the Midwest. Maybe the agricultural clubs in high school use it as thier flight simulator 🤷🏾♂️
Solid month. If you pick something too big everyone is mad because they already have it, but if you go too obscure most people aren't interested. Callisto Protocol fits perfectly in that "I'm interested but not enough to commit to buying" zone that is perfect for PS Plus.
Dam very disappointed. Honestly can't even believe the creator of dead space would develop something so basic in comparison to that game...still i need me some horror action overall it doesn't sound that bad.
On a side note I could be reaching but it seems that the girls name Dani Nakamura
Might be a nod to the ishimura if so that's cool.
