The Callisto Protocol - new survival horror from Dead Space creator

[toro]

60euros for a 9-hour game with no replayability !?

This publisher is greedy af.

edit: it's a mess. retarded dodge mechanics. jump scares. shitty PC port from consoles. also unfinished.

now i undestand Schofield shilling. he was desperate to push this shit out the door. the game will probably be on sale after the holiday

the game crashes drops frames on ps4 and ps5. wtf!? this is cyberpunk launch retardness

ps4 and pc versions are unplayable. ps5 version is stable with performance mode.

no cutscenes skipping. yeah, schofield just destroyed his reputation.

and there is more: you have to stomp each dead body for credits. or health.

Looks like a lot of performance issues for the PC version at this point. Going to wait and see if it ever gets fixed, maybe after a price drop too.

 

[mkultra]

The price for this will drop drastically in 2-3 months, if even that long.

 

[Tweed]

Just more unfinished trash with dodgy looking free key positive reviews and three different EULAs including the usual "we collect everything including your penis size" telemetry.

 

[toro]

21% of the steam reviews are positive which means 79% are negative

edit: the stutter protocol ... already a meme

 

[toro]

The only good part about this release is that they were greedy and there were no discounted Steam key on other sites.

This means that atm there is a big wave of refunds. Poetic justice.

Have you already finished it, Daedalos ? We're anxiously waiting for your review!

Lol wtf nigger, I'm at work, it only released like 1 hour ago in europe for me. I will have time to play 2-3 hours later, office christmas party today so.

But sadly I'm seeing alot of performance issues due to the shitty Unreal 4 engine shader compilation stuff thats supposedly fixed in Unreal 5.1+
So ppl are angry, stuttering etc. it wont bother me much, as long as the game itself is good, which seems to be the case from the reviews

Imma do a ultra short mini review next week probably

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Even if they fix the performance, it's still a shit game. I was right all along.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Complete dumpsterfire.

System Shock 3: Dead Space was very good.

I hope System Shock 4: the Callisto Protocol will also be good.

Dead Space isn't even in the same league as the System Shocks, and this will probably be (edit: reviews are in) is definitely worse than DS.

Bros..... it's shit.

Complete dumpsterfire.

The combat looks eye-clawingly bad. Like fighting with the players from Fifa 94 on the Megadrive or something.

 

[Daedalos]

Most of the complaints right now, are just technical issues and performance, and some saying the melee combat is too hard etc.. and most complain its too much like dead space.. well what did u expect.
I can handle all that.

It was obvious from the gameplay videos.
Also it's 2022.

 

[Ibn Sina]

Honestly the game is not bad but no way it is worth 60 $. It is short. Without the technical issues, it would make for a good 35-40 $ game.

 

[agentorange]

dead space but with worse gameplay (which was already a steep decline for survival horror) and copious more amounts of visual clutter and noise. these modern games so visually busy it's a chore to look at them.

 

[kangaxx]

It looks like a seizure simulator. Having recently replayed SS2 it's very jarring, considering how clean almost every design aspect of that game is.

 

[Nikanuur]

Complete dumpsterfire.

It's not only a spiritual successor. Many features and props figurativelly scream "Hey, this his how I can make the Dead Space sequel without YOU. Heck, I'm eben gonna use some of its names where I want."
I don't know the story behind this but I'd certainly like to know who or what is that "YOU"

 

[Baron Dupek]

Can someone think of those poor companies?

 

[kites]

Complete dumpsterfire.

"This is the same guy that gave deathloop a 10"

 

[Nikanuur]

Can someone think of those poor companies?

New pillar for ...PUBG? I go hang myself upon the straps from my plush animals' skins bathed in tears of unborn unicorns.

 

[Ibn Sina]

Any game that is hated by tranny journalists in IGN and the likes and despised by cross-dressing streamers means it's a must-play in my book.

Skimmed the Gman review as well, it looks like a linear/"cinematic" action game, not some survival horror I've seen it billed as. With that art direction I think a more moody/meditative/puzzley feel, with spurts of action thrown in seems more fitting.. Probably just a case of not being for me. Is this game "A to B" or more of a "dungeon"? It's hard to tell

There is a lengthy introduction, sort-of. Not tutorial per-se, not the real game world either. Once I've played the game for a few hours, I'll let you know which is it.
