Making of - The Callisto Protocol [Behind the Scenes]

[@RidiculousBox]

People are sooo spoiled. This is just amazing and mindblowing for live render with minimum latency.

[@m1garand164]

People are spoiled because there are so many much better survival horror games out there. Re2 remake, Dead Space remake just to name a couple. This game will be remembered for great graphics and a satisfying crunchy feeling to hitting enemies. Not much more. It's a good game just nothing more than average.

[@TheLeonDarko]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE game , combat needed more room , but the art was amazing . Everything was perfect .. that final boss kicked my ass

[@ProtossExecutor100]

Callisto Protocol gets my game of the year for 2022 because of all the great lengths it went to in order to create an amazing cinematic experience

[@kelinjohnson7421]

To glen and his team I played this game for hours on pc and hated the frame rate issues but I could not stop playing it because sound alone was on a new level. I hope there will be a sequel day one purchase again for me.

[@sfmn2396]

I finished this game and the dlcs and enjoyed it very much BUT they talk so much about horror aspect while the most scary thing was opening those crates and expecting that jumping thing :D

[@soypablolr]

REAL. Every time I opened a box I constantly pressed Y in case one of those things jumped in my face >-

[@Elexttro]

I love this game it’s really well made and I can’t wait for more content to come

[@Xendrius]

Game had top tier visuals, it had potential, but it was neither a survival horror game nor a fun shooter, it was a punching game.

[@keegangates5073]

Glen, throughout all the interviews published by various Game journalist companies, never lied about what the game was going to be like. No scrapped mechanics, no gameplay footage used solely for the marketing. He even was asked about the melee combat 5 months before release, and he described it as it is within the game. It was never oversold by the devs themselves (nor the publishers to my knowledge). Of course, the people overselling it as “dead space 2^2: electric boogaloo” were either game journalist companies or commenters on said videos. Glen was even asked directly, over multiple interviews, how the game was like dead space. Every time he was asked, he stated: “you might come in looking for a dead space experience, but that’s not what we’re going for in Callisto. You’ll see a few similarities, but you’ll come out the other end of a different experience.” So of course, the game is being bashed for not living up to the hype the devs never generated. Sure, there are legitimate criticisms of the game. The botched PC release, the clunky auto save system, the disorienting camera behavior when using the gun-melee combo, the poor jump-scares, and so forth. However, I find that the majority of “criticisms”, ~60-70%, are completely unwarranted. I have my own criticisms, one’s not stated by reviewers, but I did enjoy the game and see it as a passionate misstep into a new world ready to be explored. One that I want to see explored. I don’t want the undeserved reaction to this game to prevent Striking Distance Studios from further realizing the world (or solar system) of Callisto. P.S: I would recommend checking out the audio drama “Helix Station” which was finished just before the release of Callisto Protocol. It takes place within the same universe, but isn’t directly connected to the events of the game. It’s 6 22 minute long episodes, and is worth the listen.

[@ginopippofrebooter-ilrinne2881]

Thing is even without considering the Dead Space part game is still mediocre.

[@cappedminer369]

glen did lie dude. he lied about the enemy variety, he lied about this game being quadruple A quality he lied about this game was gonna be the definitive horror experience when it's not a bunch of other shit

[@Hero11170]

Great game ,but not for everyone

[@BrianPS5]

Really great game the people that hate on it try to compare it to dead space in my opinion dead space got nothing on this masterpiece

[@m1garand164]

Truth is it's a gorgeous looking mid game. It just doesn't do anything outstanding. It really didn't scare me much. Just cheap jump scares. The tension wasn't implemented well and the combat is really janky and amateurish. I enjoyed beating and shooting these enemies but it gets old quick.

[@Sergeiletsrock]

I don't care who complains and bitching! This is my favorite game of a decade. Since Resident Evil 2, this is the game I really enjoyed. Thank you so much Glen for this Sci-fi horror masterpiece !!

[@d_stin]

I second that, I’ve been playing survival horror for the past 3 years, and of all the titles I’ve played. This one has grabbed my attention the most, games are never released perfect.. that’s just a fact nowadays, I bought the game after all the patches and it plays great! The atmosphere, soundtrack, story and gameplay are all phenomenal, I just can’t get enough

[@ProtossExecutor100]

My game of the year for 2022

[@joshlytle4956]

I completely agree. I love when movies/games I love or enjoy get acclaim or sell well. Unfortunately sometimes they don't. I still love and enjoy them . Callisto is one of my favorite survival games ever. The intense gore and feeling of beating the hell out of these monsters is very visceral. Top favorite survival horror: Resident Evil remake, re2 remake, re7, Alien Isolation, and Evil within

[@MasterYokai2207]

Same for me. The game is so good.

[@Quintro21]

​@@d_stinsame here people should really give it another chance I bought this game 2 months ago and it's plays amazing on the ps5 I've had zero issues I love everything about it I just finished the game and can't wait to play the dlc now

[@michaelalbertsen6396]

I consider the game a masterpiece. Sadly, gamers weren't ready for its combat - and the PC launch state was very unfortunate. Eventually, it will be appreciated as a cult classic - but obviously that won't help the developers gain any kind of recognition that actually matters for future games.

[@SuicidalSummerSnowWoman]

when i first started i couldnt figure out how to dodge worked properly and left the game in frustration for like 4 days ...came back to it and damnnn what a riot... absolutely loved it after

[@lichvarwilly4706]

Well that was a great...that was a fu**ing GREAT sci-fi horror game man! Can't wait for story expansion and I really hope there will be a sequel for this masterpiece. You are master of horror Glen Schofield.

[@doomguydemonkiller]

I thought this game was great and worth my time. I know it won’t be for everyone. But I had a solid experience, and I hope they get the chance to make a sequel that is better designed.

[@secretsof7431]

Really enjoying the atmosphere and suspense. I'm just about to enter the Oxygen processing plant chapter! and just in awe of the graphics! I do miss the slime and dribble from the trailer though. the monsters have a dryness to them!!! hoping more slime and goo in the next installment!

[@Games4Days912]

Just finished on gamepass and enjoyed the hell out of it. DLC was good but short. On my second playthrough on maximum security now. Great horror game.

[@bhardnavares5903]

Even though I haven't played this but from what I'm seeing here is the game rely and focus more on inflicting brutal hits on the enemies which makes it more like an action game than being a tension filled survival horror. And I can't help comparing this to Dead Space because Dead Space while being having action but it's mechanics rely on you making the right decisions. That game gave off a sense of helplessness even when you are dismembering Necromorphs.

[@theguardians9382]

Main story was magnificent, but y’all did Jacob DIRTY in the DLC. He’s a really in depth character who had a lot more potential.

[@osmildo1000]

I really hope for a sequence. I'm still playing and loving every step.

[@guiltyrisk33]

[@Hero11170]

The cool thing on KZbin right now is to hate on this game for clickbait.

[@gamer_9906]

This game is absolutely amazing

[@love4eulogy]

I just started playing this game and have never played a sci fi survival horror game before. So far I think it's amazing. Graphics are killer and the sound track is super creepy and atmospheric. The extreme gore might not be for everyone but it totally works for this. The melee mechanics takes some time getting used to but it's like that whenever you play a completely new type of game. I play it on PS4 and can only imagine the PS5 graphics. I don't find it particularly scary most of the time but there are some great jump scares. Can't wait to dig in more to this amazing world that has been created.

[@Jah_Babylon]

i don't know why it flopped, it was a masterpiece, i can't wait to come back to it in a few years for a fresh experience...

[@alxsarti]

100% completion for this game. Congrats everyone. Great game.

[@spider496]

[@themeaning4264]

Definitely enjoyed this game. Only thing bad I have to say about it is the run time, so I'm going to be giving it 7.5 / 10! Very fun

[@damianpapaa2698]

I see The Callisto Protocol as a production that has a very high potential, but the creators can not use it or show a great pity, perhaps the creators will draw conclusions from their first project and create a continuation will surprise by cutting off completely from Dead Space and fans will get the real The Callisto Protocol, which will show something completely new, real horror made of flesh and blood 😉

[@kovulion7777]

[@IrishPaladyn]

This game didn’t flop tbh, the company just gave an unrealistic expectation for a brand new IP. The gang sold well over 2 million copies (which is a standard success) but the goal they were given was 5 million which kinda makes sense given how awesome this cast is.

[@TheNemesis003]

I agree. This game is a hooror. Horror to play XD

[@zachquam]

I’ve been really liking it.

[@Drewgantka_97]

I don’t hate this game, but it is a lacking experience in a few areas. The story is basically Resident Evil 2 in space. Not necessarily a bad thing just an unoriginal story. The scare factor is absent in my experience and it’s criminally short for a game that charged $70. With that said I actually enjoyed the combat gameplay. It felt great to go toe to toe with these hideous monsters. The graphics are absolutely fantastic and models are extremely detailed. I just find that there’s too many things about the game that disappointed me rather than impressed me. I’d like to see the studio get another chance to improve but I’m not sure what might happen because the game reviewed badly for the most part. I’d say it’s a good game but not a great one. Though I’d be willing to try a sequel if it ever happens.

[@azlan1639]

Silent makes me scared, because the sound come from nowhere, when you turn your back, the monster just behind you.. arghhhhh!!!

[@damianpapaa2698]

I played The Callisto Protocol and to be honest the developers did not use their potential, something fresh or new is missing, most of it is just copy paste from Dead Space, not to mention the combat mechanics, which is not thought out, as well as dodging, for me the most important drawback is the lack of real horror, I do not feel horror, I would like to be scared or jump out of fear, if Striking Distance Studios cut itself off completely from Dead Space, they could have created something impressive, you can see that The studio has very high skills graphics, lighting, climate, sound, character animations had to be created by real specialists If they created production only for new consoles using all the latest technologies and the potential of new equipment, you can say one quality at the highest level 🤔

[@hamidabasifar4306]

With all the love and respect for this good game. the game is aesthetically unrivaled but as for the fear it truly lacks some elements such as atmospheric unfamiliarity ( most of the areas are fulllllllll of objects and crates and etc. to make the player not to be able to recognize the area at the first glance to make him/her anxious but in my opinion ( I'm a horror artist myself ) it has not been successful with this method. In the past decade industry has overused celebrities to sell their stuff and such deformed mutated human like creatures with tentacles which honestly are predictable and specifically in this game are repetitive. I'm sorry to say but western DEVs are falling behind from Asians creativity wise. you could see the results and feedbacks all over the internet. at the end this is game is more gory and violent than scary and horrifying and not even this much people nor twice the number, wont justify the things this game does not have ( don't get me wrong I have love and respect for the efforts of these professional DEVs).

[@loubloom1941]

[@Albo_AK]

“Callisto Protocol will in fact scare the pants off of us, there will be no more pants.” That’s the most funniest shit I’ve ever heard. Jump scares are predicable as hell, 90% melee combat with enemies, broken dodge system makes you impossible to hit, crawling in vents half of the time, enemy bosses are a joke, the jump scares when you loot chests is funny as hell, etc… I felt no real threat or was scared at anytime. It felt more like an action game than a survival horror game.

[@loubloom1941]

Dodge system makes you impossible to hit? Have you played the game? It absolutely doesn't. It is broken, but not for that reason.

[@issicbahena828]
