Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus games for October 2023 after an earlier leak.
]]>Despite being the founder of the company, Glen Schofield is leaving The Callisto Protocol developer Striking Distance Studios.
]]>Striking Distance Studios has announced its sci-fi horror game, The Callisto Protocol, will be expanded with DLC.
]]>A new batch of content for The Callisto Protocol is now available, called the Contagion Bundle.
]]>A new update for The Callisto Protocol is now available, adding New Game+ mode.
]]>According to a recent report, the recently released The Callisto Protocol hasn't met sales expectations.
]]>The Callisto Protocol, the spiritual successor to Dead Space directed by veteran studio head Glen Schofield, has left a lot of horror fans wanting. Specifically, it has left them wanting the official Dead Space remake, which will land at the end of the month, because Callisto just didn’t hit the mark: the consensus is that while it’s clearly been put together by a talented team, the frustrating, under-designed combat and the various performance issues make it a slog, and the content within – though perfectly alright – just isn’t good enough to justify wading through the bad stuff.
]]>Striking Distance Studios has released a patch for The Callisto Protocol which addresses stuttering issues with the space-horror game on PC.
]]>It's been something of an open secret that Sony and PlayStation have been contributing to the development of The Callisto Protocol. The platform holder's Visual Arts Services Group was confirmed to be part of the game's development in November – and now that the game is out in the wild, you can see how much impact the team has had on the final product.
]]>The Callisto Protocol is hard. Well, it's kinda hard and kinda frustrating. Whilst you can just knock the difficulty down to easy if you're struggling (we won't think any less of you), we know how hard it is to swallow your pride when you're playing a game you've been looking forward to for years.
]]>The Callisto Protocol is officially out today, and that includes the PC version. As PC players know too well, playing games at launch on their favourite platform can feel like a roll of the dice.
]]>What scares you? Body horror? Claustrophobia? The idea of things being pushed through your eyes? Jump scares? Mediocre level design? The Callisto Protocol has it all, for better and for worse. Insistent on pushing you over the edge and making you sweat, Striking Distance Studios’ first game is overbearing; a carnival horror house trying to be a top-of-the-line escape room, Michael Bay trying to be John Carpenter. It does everything Dead Space did, sure – but once the ground is already broken, does it need breaking again?
]]>In an era where games are scrambling to find new and innovative ways to monetise themselves, the season pass reigns. So, it comes as little to no surprise that The Callisto Protocol is going to feature a season pass of its own.
]]>We’re well aware that The Callisto Protocol is set to revel in death, with there being multiple violent ways of meeting your demise. The game, from Striking Distance Studios, looks to recapture the essence of Dead Space and truly terrify its players, that’s for certain.
]]>“I hate this f**king place,” says protagonist Jacob Lee after sliding down a waste water pipe, dodging turbine blades, mutated human abominations, jutting rocks, and all manner of other hazardous shite. You’ve just had to cave in the head of what was assumedly an old inmate acquaintance, but you don’t know for sure, because he had tentacles where his face should be. You’re now waist-deep in human waste, wading through a sanitation plant just so that you might, maybe, live to see another day. I hate this place, too, buddy.
]]>I've already spoken at length about The Callisto Protocol's so-called 'murder desserts'. Similarly to the game's forebear, Dead Space, The Callisto Protocol will delight in seeing your protagonist – doomed pilot Jacob Lee – get torn limb from limb at every available oppertunity.
]]>Remember in Dead Space, if you messed up, you’d see your mentally deranged, long-suffering player avatar Isaac Clarke get impaled through the eye by a massive needle? Or fully decapitated by a horrible alien? Or sucked out into the vacuum of space without a helmet? It almost felt as if he were the plaything of a sadistic god; torturing him for the entertainment of an audience of PS3 and 360 players, safely tucked into a little nest on their sofas.
]]>The Callisto Protocol gets constantly compared to Dead Space – and it makes sense, really. A lot of the developers are the same, a lot of the core ideas are the same, and it even looks quite similar, really. But this new venture from young developer Striking Distance is doing more with its horror than Dead Space could back in 2008; we’re 14 years down the line, now, and technology has come a long way.
]]>This week at gamescom, Striking Distance Studios introduced a new mechanic called Mutations that adds depth to The Callisto Protocol's combat.
]]>Okay, so we’ve already been over the so-so games coming in 2022 that we’re probably going to give a chance, but what about the games we actually can’t wait to play?
]]>It's sounding like The Callisto Protocol is going to go all out on gore for the game, as it's apparently been inspired by "real-life examples of horror and gore."
]]>The Summer Game Fest finally came and went yesterday - packed full of announcements and reveals for The Callisto Protocol, The Last of Us Part 1 Remake, and of course the campaign for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
