Dr. Mahler reveals the secret behind the outbreak - The Callisto Protocol 

haha yeah i love a guy thats just like "oh sup you made it this far? Me. Yeah its me, i did this shit :D "

@@DekkarJr Better than whatever the jank Capcom's been trying with their "twist villains". Dante, Chris, etc... smh Capcom writers really don't know how to make a twist.

@@user-et3ye5vh2h Isn't Dante a good guy?

@@flamelover1746 Yep, Capcom tried to pull a narrative twist with him offing one of the plot characters at the start of DMC4. Needless to say, nobody brought it. Same shit with Chris in RE8.

More like Basedkorion

How did u feel about the ending?

@@benakinnusi2518 whilst I will admit I do think it was LITTLE bit of a copout, it does set it up perfectly for future instalments. I think the ending will go straight into the dlc, and we also have Dani managing to get away, so who knows. But also, remember what Dr Mahler said in the underground lab about patient Zero?

@@TheWrightChoice_ What did she say?

@@TheWrightChoice_ The alpha was Cpt. Ferris. He was what the Warden and the Circle were looking for.

@@ColtonT13 I think he was Warden Cole’s “Alpha” but he lost his humanity. Jacob didn’t. Jacob was stronger. Kept his intellect, his humanity.

It's the lady from the leftovers HBO series who loses all her family

Damn you right , even looks like her

Yes, she seems to be lesbian too

Actually her name is Louise Barnes, she plays Miranda Barlow in Black Sails

Hes looking down at her the entire time

Callisto protocol was supposed to be part of the PUBG universe(which was later canceled) so a lot of the lore from this game is related to PUBG lore

@@user-qd8oi2gz1q did pubg have a lore

@@officialsleepyhead yes there are Easter eggs hidden around the maps and the pubg website and youtube account has lore related articles and videos

The Dr herself reminds me of Dr Halsey. The confidence/arrogance, mannerisms.

I thought the same. The giant sea creature is the tip of the iceberg. I wonder if it will take loose inspiration from Prometheus. It essentially could be a bio-weapon that was created by some acient alien civilisation. The cult that the prison warden is working for wants to speed up human evolution but doesn't fully grasp the nature of how it all works. Humans are trying to play God with something they have no control over etc, etc. It's basically the unitologist cult and the markers from Deadspace.

No, the story is Disney twist villain-level kind of story. Just really generic. It literally had the same boss 4 times.

The game is kinda fun ngl

@@corvo.youroneandonly I don't know. It was pretty obvious the guy who said, "this is my kingdom and you're a dead man" and the other who did nothing but ramble on about change and evolution and is a part of pretty much the illuminati were gonna be Evil

I dont think it's bad at all. Held up against Deadspace 1 or 2 it falls short but many survival horror games do. I much prefer a touch of cosmic horror like in DS vs virus forced evolution aspect but that's personal taste.

I wouldn't say the Biophage are scary. Unnerving or disturbing sure but I didn't really feel they invoked fear, if that makes sense? Idk, maybe I'm just too desensitized to be scared by much at this point

He’s got skill.

They did confirm there is gonna be a story DLC sometime next year so who knows we might get a actual epilouge and possibly some leftover for a sequel.. but we'll have to wait and see

Dead space lore wasn’t that large when the first game dropped, they’re building a new world with Callisto, we just have to wait for the books, animations, podcasts that are yet to come. They’re teasing this Illuminati group as the big bad, just be patient, they’re gonna get to it in future instalments

I don't know it feels like it could be in the same universe just further into the future, where perhaps another pathogen infection was discovered instead of the pillars, after all she did hint at an organization that has always been applying to the idea of control over the human evolution which is right out of Dead space lore.

This game is basically a version of the works of Dead Space. It was GOTY, had tons of awards and the story was just as lacking details or depth as this story. So clearly that is enough for players.

@@anthonyhero9605 that part was so corny to me, this game has some cool mature moments but all the sequel-bait and plot developments are nauseatingly generic

What does remedy's masterpiece of noir storytelling and action gaming have to do with a slightly disappointing RE4 riff?

@@lucre113 this was an articulation of concepts I was forced to think about , of what it means to say “death is mercy”. Thank the animatrix, and those horror stories of things like anesthesia not working for that.

THANK YOU! That beginning sequence in retrospect showed me everything that would end up disappointing about the game: rushed pacing, cheap predictable scares, and very little time given to making you care about anyone

@@VeritabIlIti I don’t know man, I don’t think it seems to rushed. The beginning sequence on its own yeah was a little rushed, however the rest of the game as long as you aren’t trying to speed through it is definitely not rushed. The scares to me and everyone I know were scary, of course if you watch horror movies all the time and play only this genre of game I could see how they would be predictable, but I’ve never not jumped playing this game, and I’m not that easy of a person to scare. And of course you’re not going to get to REALLY know the characters you’re in a zombie infested prison and don’t get a break from being attacked, and if that’s not what you expected you clearly didn’t read up on the game.

@@Zayzanater I read up a ton on the game. I watched the video series where they talked about mastering the four aspects of horror they were targeting, one of which was pacing. Effective horror pacing relies on taking down-time, time for tension to build. Jump-scares are only effective when you're not expecting it, when you've had time to relax your guard just enough for it to be effective, but not so much that all tension just leaves the scene. With the exception of the surface walk with all the frozen enemies, Callisto spent almost no time building that tension, content to show you enemies almost immediately and continue jumping you (those stupid tentacle chests can go die, they aren't scary after the first two because you just expect it every time). Now survival horror typically balances the action with a scarcity of resources making the chance of running out and dying ever-present, at least until late game. The melee combat already alleviates that risk somewhat, but once the GRP is introduced the game becomes almost trivial whenever there's a trap nearby. But with all of that, the aspect of writing is the need for characters to feel like people instead of just channels for the plot to move along, and Callisto again fails there. Compare to Dead Space: the first few minutes establish relationships between the crew, Isaac has a job and a character beyond "I'm working here," and most importantly stakes: there's a reason he's there. Meanwhile our PC in Callisto (who is set up in the intro as having nothing to lose, compared to his family man friend) has some sort of job messed up by people he doesn't know, then his entire arc through the game consists of getting out of the prison. Understandable motive, but not enough to make us care about him making it out. Whats there to do when he gets out? What's his backstory anyway? Why is his first instinct when confronted with a riot scenario to cave a man's head in with a pipe without hesitation? It's those details that build a world and story, and Callisto half-assed them. But I will concede that I have consumed a lot of horror, and so if you don't care about all that stuff then the game is fine. I'm glad you were able to get more enjoyment out of it than I was!

Loved him in transformers

If only they gave him more to do than grunt and say "I didn't ask for this"

@@VeritabIlIti Did you even pay attention when there was cut scenes? There’s quite a few of them to.

That would require a story with a semblance of depth and characters with more than paper-thin motivations

The difference being resident evil is certainly way better written. This is still cool though.

The basic concept is pretty much identical, it's about the megalomaniac dream of transcending themselves with their power through their secret society,

Yes

@@RenegadeJames resident evil 1, 2,3 and 4 are incredibly well written. The downfall of raccoon city, the corruption of Birkin, the madness of umbrella and the spencer mansion, lisa trevor, the backstory of saddler acting as a religious priest to control the people and turn them into ganados are all fenomenally written and there is NO question about that. Re5 to 8 are whatever but you CANNOT deny how great the writing on the og trilogy and 4 is.

@@juliogomesdesouza9035 No R:E ever was well-written, they're slightly darker anime-style stories with *meh* acting. Great environments, some of them great gameplay, but you need to watch a couple of horror movies if you really think R:E is "good writing". Go watch Alien or Blade Runner by Ridley Scott, go watch Moon by Duncan Jones, or Outland by Peter Hyams. Space Horror sci-fi stories have existed for a looooong time, Callisto (or R:E) have only barely scratched the surface of what truly good writing in those genres could be. The acting in Callisto in top-notch, that I cannot deny, thanks to an amazing Mo-cap department, but to qualify any of those games with "good writing" is just a testimony of the lack of references one could have. Seriously, go read Orwell, Huxley, Zelazny, or even Stephen King if you want "good writing". Videogames in general are sorely lacking it.

Wesker moment

Dead Space 3 momento

This is shit since Evolution is just adaptation due to the enviroment, not "BETTER" or "STRONGER" as the game protaits it. XD

Because the story!!

yes!

basically idea is that they find an invidiual who can endure the infection and synrochnize with the parasite into some kinda symbiotic relationship, and then study and replicate him in order to further 'evolve humanity'. course we don't know the true nature of these parasites and far as we know there is a chtulu in europa.

The plot is a joke

@@SilverMoonCrystalPower nope hes dead, thats why theyre looking for alpha instead of 0 now

Then turn up the brightness

After playing it start to finish I'd say more similar to Thr Order 1886 style.. mixed with Dead Space.. good but not great.. they could improve given its this studios first game so we'll see I'd like to see a sequel imo

is like a worse dead space, if you like dead space then this is a solid meh if not then dont buys this.

​@@pablo1006pr if you like Dead Space you will likely be disappointed with this game

Play Dead Space Remake instead. The story is probably one of the weakest parts of this game, this scene is towards the end and one of the first times we get any sort of answers about ANYTHING

@@VeritabIlIti I played dead space back in the day and the remake

This game is trash outside of this cutscene. It's the most predictable plot I've ever seen- and Idk why you mentioned Bethesda.

Buddy, every bit of this is cliché. This is the peak example of "saying a lot of words that don't mean much at all." Half of it is jargon or half-answers (such as saying I'll give you her memories and then explaining anyway), Jacob initiates by running up to the person trying to save his friend with a knife (who he despised for most of the game and has no reason to like, they just decided to get over their differences but then switched to buddy cop), and that's ignoring how completely cliché the entire premise is with its "next stage of human evolution because a madman but also a secret cult but nevermind" bull. The dialogue for most of the game is either to give meandering exposition or to tell you to go somewhere.

That was made to hype up this game. And frankly it's better than the game

@@VeritabIlIti damn really? Got my hopes up after seeing there was a game.

@@MrCaptainNObeard yeah, they really did a good job building hype. But the higher they climb, the further they have to fall

@@VeritabIlIti A problem with a lot of games.

Without any of the intrigue or connection that makes you give much of a shit

7.5/10. Worth playing for sure.

it’s a 6 out of 10 realistically. Certainly not $60 or 70$

4 , its more of a action , thriller game rather than a horror , sci fi thriller

8/10.

a solid meh, could be far better

Clearly the doctor must be 6”3.

Most characters in game are born on different moons of Jupiter, gravity probably altered their height.

Hear me out, they’re the same height.

Ok, this might sound crazy but maybe she might be the same height.

Either she’s the same height, or sometimes (actually a lot of times) filmmakers will make the actors seem as tho they’re the same height so that blocking and shot compositing doesn’t look goofy when one character is taller than the other and mess up shot composition.

No

Reason being that Dead Space is under EA's legal copyright and these guys no longer have access to the IP so they made a new game title with the old devs

They did, Dead Space Remake just came out and it's fucking brilliant

nah bruh, that's Lennox

which one you wanna bet? illuminati or some shit?

@@quangnhat5345 probably unitology

​@@Ron.Swanson. dollar store unitology

It's okay though, none of what they said was in any way interesting since we've seen it three billion times before

Because bad writing

@@VeritabIlIti I know right?! It's such a lame twist. From the very beginning Jacob outright said he knew he was doing a lot of "no questions asked" deliveries, so the reveal only shows... he knew what the biophages looked like before the outbreak, not what they could do. This reveal may have worked better if, before the final boss, Cole thanked Jacob for smuggling the biophages. No selective amnesia necessary of Jacob looking through his classified cargo.

@@chrisdaughen5257 selective amnesia is usually a surefire way to make sure all stakes feel cheated. In this case, we didn't know anything about Jacob to have any prediction beyond the usual cliches, which makes this one feel somehow worse to me

Considering how far the stocks of Krafton plummeted after this game failed to make sales goals, I highly doubt it

Right? Total Matrix moment. Why couldn't they do that with literally anything else?

This isn’t connected to dead space, so no

@@basketballbeast755 I know, I'm just being facetious.

Man, that would have made this game so much better. At least we have Dead Space Remake now

not really at it current price, maybe with a good discount, gameplay is boring and tedious, story is very meh, the characters are also meh, the game is a solid meh, well if you like dead space if not then is a solid pass

@@pablo1006pr Thanks for letting me know. wasn't sure since I heard some of the reviews.

I'll add on to the last guy: if you like Dead Space, just get the new remake instead. At a discount this game might be fun, but at full price you're getting a mediocre story with full characters, a tedious plot, and gameplay mechanics that don't mesh with the overall design of the game.
