The Callisto Protocol - new survival horror from Dead Space creator

[Fedora Master]

Even Infinishill was wise enough to leave this one alone.

 

[Alienman]

Must everything suck?

Anyway, game doesn't look too bad going by video reviews, kinda what I expected, but the performance issues mentioned on PC sucks a lot. People with 3080ti having problem, yeah okay. It's holding me back from buying.

One thing I notice watching reviews that I will give the devs big cred for is the UI. It's minimal with no fucking hit markers.

 

[Fargus]

Lots of bad reviews from people with 30 series cards lmao

Also when your game has only 29% positive rating at release you know you fucked up. I'm not even sure Arkham Knight was that bad at release. They should probably temporarily disable the sales on steam to save face.

I got it with chump change 75% off price when they fucked up with the regional prices (because of course) in the first day on steam so i can't complain that much :D Still can refund it if i want to.

That is a plus, not a negative in the game favor.

 

[Morgoth]

More reason to believe that Glen Schofield is a fluke and that the real brains behind Dead Space were other people.

 

[Tehdagah]

Apologize

 

[Nifft Batuff]

Another typical 7th generation boring, qte filled, popamole linear corridor shooter, like Dead Space.

? I'm here to force you to pay attention to any and all turn-based and/or isometric RPG titles (which any true Codexer should). Why the fuck would I care about some popamole action game lol

I normally tolerate inconsistent performance but this is an exception, it stutters to the point that the game's legitimately unplayable. I'm talking about standing in one place, spinning the camera 360 degrees can make the game go from 100fps to 2fps. Whenever the protagonist does something that produces a new graphical effect no matter how minuscule (e.g cutting wire which creates a sparkle), it would fucking FREEZES for half a second. It even produces unintentional comedy gold like a scripted section where the protag crawls inside a vent, the camera would pan to a blocked vent on the right side to show a corpse getting dragged away, but it stuttered so hard I only saw a single frame showing an empty vent (with sound effect of the dragging still playing normally) before the camera returning to the protag's back.

This is on 5600X, RTX 3080, 48GB VRAM, 1440p medium setting, no raytracing, DX11 (which gives a 5fps boost compared to DX12 based on my experience). It's visually gorgeous for sure but it's genuinely difficult to properly play the game with this performance, let alone enjoy it. A Plague Tale Requiem is drop dead gorgeous and difficult to run on high framerate, but overall I could count like 2 or 3 very quick stutters at most during my playthrough. This game goes from 100fps to 56 to 72 to 111 to 8 to 15 to 80 within 5 seconds of gameplay, that's how bad it is.

Guess working 14 hours a day on weekends didn't produce good results. Next time they should respect the developers.

 

[Multidirectional]

So I guess they managed to make Dead Space 3 look less shit now.

 

[fork]

The combat, lol.
Imagine buying this crap.

How the hell did issues like this make it through? I don't get it. Is there no pride in anything made?

 

[Multidirectional]

dead space but with worse gameplay (which was already a steep decline for survival horror)

I don't think Dead Space is survival horror at all and I like its combat.

It works well on console and its all that matters.

 

[good fucking shit happen]

As usual poorfags that can't afford current hardware tank the PC scores, this is why game devs hate PC users people. Waaah waaah, why doesn't this state of the art game run on smooth as silk my Pentium dual-core from 2007??? The Glen has done it again and Morgoth is seething hard postin some no-name youtuber reviews as if it means something. Mark my fucking words this game will be looked back on as a classic next gen.

 

[Dadd]

Give me ten reasons why you think this will be considered a classic in the future.

Ten?
I can't think of one. :>

Imagine being a retard who knows nothing about PC hardware and lack even a rudimentary knowledge about gpu computing and game engines. You are not a gamer, you are a consoomer.

 

[vibehunter]

The late embargo combined with the last-minute Denuvo has me convinced that they know their game is dogshit. Delay reviews, make it difficult to pirate, and hope to squeeze some sales from retard gamers.

I'm guessing the vast majority of their sales will be made on consoles, especially on PS5 as that one is the most stable one according to Digital Foundry.

Yeah those fucking poors with their 4090s and 12900ks complaining about unplayable shader cache stutter on a popamole game that looks 12% better than 15 year old dead space

 

[Parsimonious cook]

So this sucks? Too bad, I liked the radio play thingy they did recently to promote this.

 

[Morgoth]

How long until Striking Distance will be repurposed as PUPG support satellite and Glen Schofield will leave to form another studio?
