I think the Callisto Protocol is the fastest I’ve ever changed my mind on a game

Wait, what the fuck? The game is $70?!

Was this widely known? See same with Hogwarts Legacy. Is everyone moving to $70 now?
 
Can't wait to see actual nextgen monster design\details when stuff like tlou3 or hellblade 2 are gonna be released.

We have already seen the limit of what the ps5 and Series X can do. Graphics are not getting much better and if they do people will complain they had to lower the resolution and run at 30fps to achieve it. Either wait for ps5 pro or ps6 if you are unimpressed with current games

We saw jack shit dude, until we see all the big teams from M and sony doing their job exclusively on ps5\sex it's still pretty soon to draw conclusions.

Callisto really isn't the game that is gonna destroy my fate in better graphic from these consoles.

I agree, most games are crossgen - so they still use old engines... IO is not properly used at all, primitive shaders too, let's see hold up a bit. I'm also curious about UE5 features like Nanite and what other studios will do with their engines and if they will integrate similar tech.

Wasn't PS5 SSD supposed to work like RAM? Only load what's in the view on the fly? We didn't saw anything like this at all yet... So I definitely think we can squeeze something out of new consoles but dunno what it will be yet. Time will tell.
 
Yeah, it killed the hype a little for me too although im still really looking forward to it, Dead Space is one of my fav games. Those meat grinders bothered me, whats the original purpose of that thing? haha, that and the stasis like power seemed way too OP.

I was wondering the same thing lol. But it's a videogame, so you gotta let it slide.

Otherwise you'll be wondering why the fuck there's buckets hanging all over the place in God of War, or who set all those candles up in Doom?

The game still looks awesome to me but what I'm a little concerned about is the length. I hope the game is lengthy and has enough gameplay elements to justify $70.

How lengthy you want this game to be exactly? For me survival horror games needs to 10 hours or 12 hours max, I dont needed to be longer than that.
 
Don't judge the game by the content the team decide to show us? 🤣

We know they can do trailers. The announcement trailer was considerably better than this.

For 2 separate gameplay segments, this looked garbage.

This is precisely my point, i.e. don't judge the game by a single shitty trailer when we've already seen much more compelling trailers for the same game.
 
How do you know it will be ace? The only piece of evidence points to another conclusion.

Did we learn nothing from Cyberpunk ?

WTF are you on about? Is this the only trailer we've seen of the game?... No it's not.

The reveal trailer was great.

This was just some pretty boring slidey segment and shitty combat in a dark room stitched together. It's clearly not representative of the full 12-15 hour game.
 
It looks okay. I don't think its doing anything new or spectacular. But should be a fun survival horror game. I think the hype for it is a bit much but people love dead space. Some of the mechanics look old. That water slide bit in 2022...felt real 360/ps3 level game design.

Yeah but we are long past the days of 'teh cell!!' with its 'untapped powa!'.

Ps5 and Series X even struggles to run some last gen games in native 4k at 60fps. And if you just add a tiny bit of 'dat raytracing' then the performance drops a huge amount. That's it. That's the ps5 and Series X power for you

I'll be playing it. I just hope it's an actual survival horror w/ puzzles and stuff.

I played through DS 1 & 2 last year and they're great games but it's just monster closet pew pew pew type stuff. Forgot how shallow it is outside of it's cinematic presentation. If Calisto goes that route, I'll probably enjoy it but be incredibly underwhelmed.

I also consider replayability. RE 2 Remake can be speedrun in 2 hours but one could easily spent 50+ trying to unlock stuff. So, ideally a 10-12 hour game is good enough for your first playthrough but it can't be just that.
 
I agree.
It did look rather underwhelming.
Nothing (Pun intended) "Jumped out at me"
Grinder deaths were laughable.
Not the "Visceral" experience I was expecting 😉

That's why i hope for 4k\1800p checkboard (not native) and leaving rtx to pc.

We know that we can have incredible looking games even without rtx, and maybe they can try again when ps5 pro and Anal SeX are gonna be out in 2 years from now.

I was confused by this one at first when they said it was in the "PUBG Narrative universe" or some shit lol...then I liked when they showed a little gameplay..but whats trickled out since then has been a little boring looking/lifeless.

I do want the game tho most def, not hating on it at all, just hoping the finished package is cool.
 
Just a small comparison to kill some time (slow day at work)

The supposedly AAAA small story driven game

Fa3zkGoXoAEJwIA

Fa3zknTXgAAnX-3



Days gone, the open world from the worst\smaller sony team that has 500 of these models on screen at the same time (not 3-4 at best)

daysgone_201904280245dvks4.png

daysgone_201904280248y0jx9.png



I'm gonna say it again, leaving aside the protagonist face, this one looks current gen as a whole fuck.

Can't wait to see actual nextgen monster design\details when stuff like tlou3 or hellblade 2 are gonna be released.
The Calisto monsters have way more detail. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

Days Gone is not a good game and I will point this out every time it's used as subtle propaganda insisting otherwise.
 
I think you're just battling against your own imagination here. It looks great. What more is there to say?
Let's just NOT start this dance please. You think it looks great? Good for you, I can live with that.

But I totally understand those who feels it's kinda lame from all those statements the dev took.
 
You missed the point of the comparison but after reading your post in the splatton topic i'm not surprised at all.
Your post was utilized to make a greater point about Days Gone. What you were saying was actually a dull point and not worth directly responding to.
 
Wait, what the fuck? The game is $70?!

Was this widely known? See same with Hogwarts Legacy. Is everyone moving to $70 now?
That was to become the new standard with next-gen consoles. From $59.99 to $69.99.

AAAA is a truly idiotic statement.

It's not even the "nextgen" gap here.
Correct, but it's from Krafton's bloated and back patting financial report. It's just a dumb ass comment from the publisher, and nothing more. Not sure why people are holding onto it so tight. Has nothing to do with Striking Distance themselves.
 
I didn't watch the new trailer... but wtf is going on?! Everyone was beyond hyped... now it's a steaming pile of shit? This industry is one fickle bitch.
 
I liked that it had slides like in SM64. One of my favorite parts of the Mario games were the slides.

People saw a water slide and decided to shit themselves, thinking that the water slide will comprise over 90% of the game or something.

It was a simple graphical comparison dude, take off your squid shaped tinfoil hat, i give 2 fucks about making a greater points of days gone...

I hope for callisto to be a far better game than days gone since we have so few games in the genre.

Literally WHAT is wrong with it. Textures, design, lighting, animation are all great.
 
The game looks good to me. I really don't get the hate going on.
Saying that it looks less than stellar compared to the previous trailers is hating??

I was one of the first to "hate" in this topic and the game is still a locked AF day one for me...

People need to start understanding that this is an enthusiast gaming forum and people are gonna fucking talk about trailers...if not we can close the forum until the game is out...

Was people hating when they were jerking their dicks off for the past 2-3 trailers?

I believe that's classified as "creaming."

Agreed. If anything, I prefer the old-school Resident Evil style. Make the campaign fairly short, but with a lot of replay value - multiple character campaigns, surprise events depending on the order you do stuff, unlockable rewards for future runs, etc.

This community is no more enthusiastic about video games than the other place.

So you prefer to have zealots than only speak positively about everything??

Yeah no, i go into a forum to read all type of comments and to confront with people.

Nothing wrong in having different opinions about something.

He mentions neogaf as a place for enthusiasts and I feel like that's a dated view of the website. In the same way sociopolitical viewpoints taint discussion on the other site, it does here as well. People are more enthusiastic about all that garbage than video games.
