That's the thing I thought was really strange. I mean, nothing in what we were shown gave off that vibe, unless I'm missing something. I mean, I was never a PUBG fan.
Honestly that bit of info has me concerned, lol. I mean, everything else sounds great, but PUBG universe? Really? I didn't even know it HAD a "universe", lol.

Same universe but so far into the future it doesn't matter.

This is weird, but I doubt it actually means anything.

Yeah, pretty sure they try to tie-in Callisto to PUGB just so that PUGB players who wouldn't go near the game buy it and give it a shot because it's supposedly connected to the PUGB universe.
I'm 100% sure whatever 'connection' between the two games is going to be so trivial to the point of being inconsequential - like 'I.C. was here' kind of thing.

I know, but my question comes in two parts.
A) why bother tying them?
B) if they're gonna bother why was there no mention of it at its reveal?

Free promotion for the game.

Protagonist looks boring af
Mister Wolf

Why would you think that's the protagonist?

He probably thinks it's BLM pandering, and he calls it boring to express his opposition.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Which one is the protagonist?
Cuz one guy looks like he got eaten and likely isnt playable.
The second guy has turned into a literal monster at this point....while interesting I doubt thats the protagonist of this story.
The other guy looks like the bad guy because he just watched someone get eaten and didnt bat an eyelash.

Who do you think I am talking about? You've answered your own question.
So sick of generic black dude or wahmen.

The thing about Dead Space is that it was System Shock 3 for a period of development, and then EA removed the branding when it became more RE4 influenced, but the whole plotline of sentient, hive-mind biomass trying to get the player to do its bidding is a far less verbose The Many from System Shock 2. The necromorphs themselves are far more System Shock 2-like than RE4-like.
When I played Dead Space and encountered the nursery with the necromorph babies, all I could think of was, "Babies must sleep. Babies must rest. Wise is the one who does not waken them."
In this case, I'm curious what the PUGB universe brings to the table. I'm assuming they have plans for a wider universe of stories which PUGB the battle royale game forms a part of.

What a great idea... Ruining a interesting game of survival horror game because someone think that is COOL mix with a disgusting battle royale game.
Who was the stupid idea mix a survival horror game with PUBG??

Pretty much. The can namedrop PUGB which makes for free promotion. Look at us talking about it right now.

Everyone's super bemused though.
A very odd cross promotion in terms of Universe and target audience
I thought Fornite basically killed PUBG anyway?

Looking forward to a horror game that involves more than playing hide and seek with monsters

You missed the last three Resident Evil games, buddy.

No, I didn't. A couple of outliers don't change my point about most horror games these days just being hide and seek games with no combat or much engaging gameplay.

That neck status bar will be the new "health" notification. God. I loves how Dead Space uses the game context to display HUD.

I think this game will be special. I still consider Dead Space 2 the best horror action game I've ever played.

Tag, you're it.

I was looking at the "Ill" game you mentioned, this king of tech could be great for a Dead Space type game. Can you imagine the Necromorphs transforming in front of you with so much detail ?!
ILL - Teaser of a horror game?
This account make awesome CG short clips but this is the first time i see he is using a game engine to show his work. We have to wait to see if this is a game or not.

A really solid game. And your description was spot-on. Horror Action Game, not Survival Horror Game.

I now have a 3rd reason to buy a PS5 now besides Returnal and RE8. I wonder how the game Negative Atmosphere by Sunscorched Studios will be affected?
Edit: noticed on the Striking Distance IG that they are looking for a lead character artist, technical director among other positions such as art director. Hoping this doesn’t get delayed.
Edit 2: Striking Distance updates their IG pretty often almost daily. It would be a good idea to keep a close eye on their account as well as the account for the game itself: @CallistoTheGame

I also have very fond memories of SS2 but it has probably not aged that well

Unfortunately we are a few gen away from that real time type of gore in videogames imo.
