The Callisto Protocol Previews are Up

Hopefully they are keeping the best creatures as a secret because what you see in these thumbnails doesn't rock my world.

Wow a zombie with yellow shit on it or a human with some tentacles...

Is there any new gameplay in these previews? Or the usual b-roll?

It's definitely b-roll but not sure if it's new or not as I have only seen the gamescom preview and maybe one more video after that? Look like newer stuff to me atleast. The melee hits look a lot more 'chunky' I guess with large blood splats and sometimes even chunks of flesh flying out...looks nice!

IGN guy said the game has actually hard and seeing the death scenes for the protag was inevitable but maybe he was also just bad. Apparently resources are really scarce? So meleeing and waiting for an opening to shoot a weak spot is necessary I guess unless you've built up supplies. All that stuff sounds cool as I thought Dead Space was a bit too easy and resources and ammo were quite abundant.

Also all the footage is 30fps or lower with a lot of motion blur. Would be nice to see some footage from PC or console performance mode.

Look pretty great from what I've seen in the first video, but I do hope there is a slider for the amount of motion blur, I think you really need OBMB to create a feeling of smooth movement and energy at 30fps but this is too much. Aside from that, great.

I'm might play it but only if it gets stellar reviews. I'm not really into horror games.

Gamespot already complaining about the protagonist being a manly man in the game.

I'd say the reviewer isn't man enough going by the tone of his voice :messenger_confounded:
Can you point to where this is said? I saw the video and read the article and there’s nothing about this.

I think you’ve bitten the outrage bullet too fast there.
Nah, my comment was in general. Look at the twats whining because Bayonetta likes the D.

This is normal for them in general, and I expect to see the usual suspects saying the same old shit since Day's Gone's gruff man. "Return of the bald white space marine." ;)

Stinky man breath.

This reminds me of when the guys who left Activision/infinity Ward were going up against Call of Duty with Titanfall 2. It'll be fun to compare this to Dead Space Remake.

Melee combat looks like tlou2 with that little evade move but with worse animations.

i think this is gonna be a bit more action-y than dead space.
 
I may of misinterpreted the GameStop preview, it came across as this is a melee combat game first ? I thought it was like Dead Space with a variety of guns whilst improving on the melee stuff .

Well thats why I already decided to have my already preordered physical copy lie around unopened for at least a month, so all those impatient 'day one Beta testers' have time to give dev feedback and the game gets some additional post lauch patches in order to smooth things out.. yeah I inow... it takes some discipine and an extended media blackout for possible spoilers... 😎
