Bloober Team has released a two-minute gameplay showcase

 

[Schmendrick]

If RE and Dead Space had to raise a child on a budget.

 

[DarkstarRising13]

A worthy spiritual successor to Dead Space, Resident Evil 4, and The Thing.

Day 1 Purchase on my PS5 Pro.

 

[Kacho]

Looks incredible. Day 1.

 

[ElFenomeno]

Is this supposed to make me excited?

 

[Skifi28]

Looks ok, but nothing to write home about. Looks like a very generic Dead Space clone, which is fine, but not very exciting.

 

[Judge Magister]

I'm just waiting for a more concrete release date.

 

[Connificent]

Cao Cao

 

[Bitstream]

Dead space on earth? Day 1 for me, looks better than SH-F

 

[analog_future]

Very excited for this. Silent Hill 2 was incredible and I even think The Medium was underrated for what it was.

 

[Kikorin]

I find the "futuristic" suit of the main character very off with the Raccon City setting. For the rest, looks super-mid, not bad and not awesome, like a 7/10.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm definitely excited for this but I do hope it more enemy variety.

Edit: The Callisto Protocol also had to mutation mechanic but the issue was other than their looks enemies behaviour and animation didn't really change…..I hope this game doesn't make the same mistake.

Try Callisto Protocol cause that's where most similarities seem to come, especially the first enemy coming out from the wall.

 

[Mr Hyde]

It has some massive The Thing vibes. Very excited for this. Fall 2025 is getting packed. Both Hell is Us and Cronos is on my radar.

 

[Luipadre]

Day 1. Shooting looks and sounds satisfying

 

[MiguelItUp]

Day 1. After what they did with SH2R, they showed what they're truly capable of doing and I want to support them for sure. I hope this does great, and I hope the SH1R is just as amazing as SH2R, if not even more so!

 

[SilentSpecter]

The atmosphere is great, but honestly… I don't know. For something that's supposed to be sci-fi, there's not that much actual sci-fi in here. Take away the spacesuit, and it could easily pass for another SH or RE clone. And those monsters that merge into a bigger, stronger one? Feels kinda ripped straight out of Callisto Protocol and maybe even Dead Space.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

I was so insanely excited for Callisto, and we got what we got. I hope this is nothing like it. I also hope that it's not too linear. Exploration in these type of games is important.

 

[Braag]

Callisto Protocol had more of a melee heavy combat, usually you used melee weapons to open up the enemy for a quick shot.
This game seems to rely only on fire arms. I guess the enemies are quite similar to callisto protocol.

 

[Ristifer]

I'll gladly take more RE/Dead Space/Callisto clones.

I've did. But let's say... it was pretty lackluster. It was a boring ride to platinum it, and once I did, I uninstalled it and will likely not play it again unless I want to 100 percent the trophy list.

 

[Terenty]

Bloober has never made a good game on their own, this looks like they are back to ripping other games off

 

[Victorboris1987]

I'm very interested in this game, the art looks great and the environment art is even better. Unfortunately this brief gameplay snippet didn't show anything remarkable cause it was too focused indoors, but the environment appears to take place in London, in an Earth that was shattered by some sort of a temporal catastrophe.

 

[Shockwave_Fox]

Looks good, really loved the Dead Space remake (probably the game I really enjoyed the most this gen actually) and really interested in this .

Hopefully it is good.

 

[Myths]

Tired of these games with Cronos, Chronos in the title… it NEEDS to be a CHRONO TRIGGER sequel already ffs

 

[iHaunter]

Is this supposed to make me excited?

Some people just don't like video games.

 

[GymWolf]

Looks good but i still think the enemy desing is pretty generic.

 

[Danjin44]

Looks good but i still think the enemy desing is pretty generic.

I kinda agree especially compare to Dead Space and Silent Hill games.



I'm not gonna be in to this game much since its in first person but it has horrifying enemy designs.

 

[Barakov]

If RE and Dead Space had to raise a child on a budget.

We're not going to get a new Dead Space any time soon so beggars can't be choosers here.

Unfortunately this is true..

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I was super excited for this and I'm still on board but the more gameplay they've shown, the less exciting it looks. The combat really is missing a hook and looks barebones to me. Like how exciting would Dead Space be without dismemberment, stasis and kinesis? So far I'm only seeing super slow movement, standing in place and shooting with little hit feedback nor enemy damage, and then no dodge or anything and player gets hit.

The presentation is doing some really heavy lifting and I'm hoping it turns out to be more than just a super basic version of Dead Space + Poland.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Is that the voice actress who did Selene in Returnal? That'd be fucking cool, she's great. Sounds a lot like her but the distortion makes it hard to tell.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

This looks excellent. The premise is very interesting, too. Bloober has clearly leveled up.

 

[Branded]

These monster designs are... kind of ass?

Also that big blood splatter when he stomped that monster looked laughably dated.

 

[DarthPutin]

Is this the Cosmonaut that bothered Selene from Returnal, walking around Silent Hill?

 

[Karim]

Is this supposed to make me excited?

Better now?

I wanted to stop nitpicking but yea what's up with that lol. It looks like from a different game and gen.

 

[Arsic]

I imagine this will be similar to Callisto in terms of quality and gameplay depth.

Temper your hype.

I may love Callisto but most of you do not.

Why am I mentioning all this?

-Have you played Bloobers prior games?
-Have you played SH2R?

If so you know their gameplay offering is very shallow. They can push big visuals, they can push atmosphere, but gameplay is just serviceable.

SH2R without the story that SH2 offers would be an abysmal game… let that sink in.

I don't see an issue with this. After all, plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, plus, you can learn a whole lot and become really good at what you do by copying your betters. Just look at the PRC's technological development. They're jumping ahead in several areas due to having become extremely experienced at reverse engineering the most modern tech the world has to offer, they have 2 different 6th gen fighter jet prototypes flying about but no one in the US has ever seen a single F-47 prototype in the skies.

 

[peronmls]

Bloober still cannot come up with their own ideas. Crazy how people support this team.

Nah. Judging a game based entirely on developers past games will always be flawed.

I judge it based on whats shown and what's been showed so far looks far interesting than Callisto ever looked.

That's because callisto had an even more duller enemy design than this one

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

Cailisto Protocol is not worthy of a spiritual successor. Dead Space is.
