Man the Callisto Protocol looks incredible, you can see the passion Glen and the Striking Distance team have for the game, it’s going to
be special, loving these behind the scenes videos 🙌
glen is a cod guy he doesnt know horror
@@radiatedritch keep repeating the same thing trying to get an attation nah but its not happening
literally everything they talk about is exactly like most every game of the past 10 or 15 years. nothing is new or interesting. thinking about light or sound is part of all games especially horror. this isn't incredible.
@@CSM100MK2 What's the problem with fellas giving props though 😅 i don't see anyone in this thread saying its something they never seen before lol.
I don't get why this game is getting so much hate. Not just on YT, but on gaming forums aswell. Meanwhile the Dead Space Remake gets praised to high heavens, eventhough it's published by EA and looks more like a remaster rather than a remake...
It's bizarre. These folks shitting on Callisto do realize that Glen Scofield created Dead Space in the first place right?
It's nice to hear confirmation that some of the names are working with Glen who worked on DS1, I wonder how many high-profile and/or ex-Visceral people are actually on his team as a whole. I haven't been excited for a game to come out since beating Elden Ring, I have huge hopes for this project and hope it delivers.
Steve Papoutsis (probably spelled his name wrong) who was the lead of Dead Space 2 is also on the team.
@@robertusher5612 he’s in SDS with Glen and the team. And also, you got his name right 😁
We’ll ever since Visceral got shut down… I’d say there’s probably quite a few on his team.
I read there are like 30 people from the DS team working on CP
I think this game will be something special, please make this a Trilogy Glen, totally adore Dead Space, so happy and hyped for this spiritual successor
This is one of the best looking games I’ve ever seen. The lighting plays a huge part in this.
Saw the Wired interview with Glen - and just love him more every time I see him. So much passion and wisdom to share. Thanks so much for sharing. Love the content you put out
he was call of duty guy for years he knows nothing about horror lmao
@@radiatedritch he created the original Dead Space, one of the greatest horror games of all time, well before he founded Sledgehammer games
You obviously haven’t been watching these videos. He’s all about horror. Call of Duty was a temporary focus.
@@radiatedritch haters already? Jeez dont people like you have anything better to do?
@@radiatedritch I want what you’re smoking
Love all the recent marketing from glen. Proper passion for the medium
Usually don't care too much about game development, but these really hype me up Glen is so excited and involved
Glen Schofield's passion is unmatched 🙌
Bruv I love to watch Behind The Scenes of game development. Especially if the people are immensely passionate about the project. I still remember finishing GOW3 remastered and chilling with my dog in bed watching the BTS content on a rainy day, blazed out of my mind.
Those were some good days. RIP Charlie.
You are the typical casual "gamer"
@@alexv5581 aaaaand? It doesn't really matter
@@alexv5581 Lol I don't get it? You got that from me not usually watching game development vlogs?
That side by side comparison between the photo and UE5 render of Josh 🤯🤯🤯
The passion on display and the pedigree of this team astounds me every time I see BTS footage, Callisto is a guaranteed future classic for scivival horror.
UE4! But... It's a still frame, it won't run properly in real time.
@@renderpeach it's still impressive regardless, how long will it be until that is real-time, probably not long.
@@MisterBolticus 100% my man, 10000%. Very impressive and graphics will look like that soon
Nice Raziel fpf mister!
Ue4 not 5
I'm impressed every time I see Glen Schofield work at something ... The quality, the effort and burning passion! Thanks for sharing!
Glen is the GOAT for this. Man can look at any scene and tell what it needs or why it's perfect. And the level of hands on involvement has me so ridiculously excited to play this game! December 2nd can't come soon enough!
Ikr, he probably is my favorite guy so far with the crew he's with
thegOOOATT
@@carlossalazar478 Pretty much
And here we are, 2 weeks later, and now everyone is realizing Glen Scholfield doesn’t know as much as we thought. The Callisto Protocol earned the sub-par scores. The game is about as mediocre as it gets.
@@billyskittles1036 Tf you talking about?.. Saying that apparently the dude doesn't know what he's doing... So you basically also saying the guys with him don't know either?
I wish more developers did this behind the scenes stuff. I love watching all the pieces come together.
The amount of hustle in this man is unmatched. This game will definitely carry the survival horror torch. Definitely a hit coming out in December.
You can just see and feel quality - like I'm not even a horror fan like that but there's a level of polish and next leve this game carries - you know this is the thing with Unreal Engine 5 Matrix set the standard of what is possible - an dnow wejust wait for a Rockstar type of huge investment with full focus to blow us away - everything is there... this is a touch of the future. Congrats and respect to these guys.
That 00:27 cut is excellent!
If I wasn’t already hyped for this game, hearing Glen speak would get me insanely hyped.
Dude is this amazing mix of passionate and eloquent.
you forgot pretentiousness
I love Glens interviews. So informative and exciting. Can't wait to play this classic
So true!
"Lighting so important"
Launches with completely broken HDR
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS! This is a DAY 1 buy for me. Horror fans we will have some exciting months ahead with all those upcoming horror games.
You are right! I'm glad this type of horror is making a comeback.
i hope this game isnt overhyped, im with you tho DAY 1 BABY
@@jonnyboi137 same babe!! Mwahhh
Same here. I even got the highest edition pack as it was my best bet in my life.
I really want to buy it on day one but also waiting on the first reviews.
Everytime they show new footage of the suit/armor, I'm falling in love with it the more. Almost there to release date.
I’m right there with you! I just noticed the game (had seen it before but didn’t really look into it) last week. Bought it immediately! Then I found out Glen was involved. Perfect! I’m beyond excited.
i'm in love with it too. I'm actually going to propose to it
You can probably upgrade your suit and each upgrade your suit change. It's looking good.
Glen is such a master of Horror, pretty much the John Carpenter of Video Games.
"John Carpenter of Video Games" - this is a great comparison.
Disagree. Carpenter and along with Craven deserve the respect and praise for the films they created in the horror genre but this game is definitely more Guillermo del Toro material. I doubt they drew much inspiration from John Carpenters work, if any. Toro's is horror, fantasy, sci-fi to his core.
@@captureinsidethesound did you watch the video? Also humans being deformed and turned into evolving life forms does that ring a bell?
@@captureinsidethesound Way off, how you even landed on that idea is crazy.
@Palms , I'm referencing drawings and films from them both. Carpenters strong suit doesn't seem to be Sci-Fi horror.
I could watch these behind the scenes videos/interviews with Glen all day, his knowledge and his passion for these games is so infectious and it’s making my excitement for callisto protocol even bigger
That unreal render..mindblown...
it just a render looks like trash in game
@@radiatedritch Yes..not even close..but still somehow resembles Josh Duhamel.
Less than 2 weeks baby! So excited.
Glen not only is a creative genius. He is a master at getting a collaboration of a bunch of individuals who specialize in their own fields that blend perfectly to mold a amazing final project. I love seeing this passion. Getting this day 1!
His WW2 game he put out a few years ago was utter dogshit but ok
So true. They don't make sci-fi horror movies often. It's also my favourite genre, especially when it's grounded in a world of hard science.
Glen is a fantastic director and has a great team behind him. He knows exactly what he wants to achieve but is also open to ideas and suggestions. Every little detail of the game looks to be crafted to perfection and you can tell they made sure it plays well with no bugs. I absolutely can't wait for it.
The Callisto Protocol will surprise the hell out of a lot of players! Can't wait to play this!
The surprise was that it can't run stable at 1080P...
To think that we have two imminent Glen Scofield games, set to release within the next two months is mind-blowing! And Glen mentioning Pandorum, one of my favourite sci-fi movies! He and his team earned my moolah!
Unfortunately, Glen isn’t involved in the Dead Space Remake.
@@frighteningspoon Yeah I know, but it's still Glen's baby!
@@UPHENOS It's a remake and sadly remakes have zero f--ks to do with the original source material nor point worthy whatsoever. This game seems promising. Even tho I don't care for games anymore I still like to see some being played through which are good enough.
Iv looked at his resume of the games his worked on and Dead space was a classic and all the rest were garbage. This is his 2nd shot at survival horror so let's see how this plays out. I have high hopes for TCP.
@@DJGodaryD86 actaully theyre sticking very close to the original game, aside from voicing Isaac which I think is a mistake from everything I've seen it just looks like an all around technically improved dead space. I believe they would catch hell from real fans if they veered too far off.
Sound design,art direction and lighting should not be the only priority,it’s meant to enhance the gameplay experience to make players want to invest themselves and learn more about the story
This is what’s needed to create the entire gaming experience as a whole
However,they were lost in obsession over the fine details and not building the base to create the other elements
I dunt think so . The gameplay is great now !
Typical example of game designers obsessing over "cinematics" and trying to copy everything from the movie industry, while not really understanding game design. Or maybe they just thought that pandering to your average pleb who watched movies was a sure fire recipe for success. Oops!
Legitimately, one of the VERY FEW games out there that really has my undivided attention and hope.
Just the sheer amount of detail and quality they are focusing on gives me so much confidence in them. I'm very excited for this game
I think this game will have the best application of the Unreal Engine 4 we've seen so far.
I've always loved Glenn's documentary about his games. My favorite one was how he described the work process of the tentacle grabbing scene in Dead Space and how it almost got cut out.
Glen is the man!
If only they poured this much passion and attention to detail into the actual gameplay and performance of the game then maybe it would've actually cracked some sales.
This game has tons of passion in it.
I can listen to these guys discuss the game all day.
I don't want too many spoilers but man I can't get enough listening to all the behind the scenes and developer commentary. I really hope this game is good and gets a lot of support. I love my sci-fi horror in any media and want more
Really excited for Callisto Protocol. Dead Space was already one helluva ride, can't wait to see how Callisto's gona play out
I remember watching Glen on this channel, during the War Stories series, back when he was talking about how his team approached the issues behind the drag tentacle moment from DS1. What stuck out was the fact that he was genuinely a fan of horror and video games in addition to his passion and energy when building Dead Space.
It's so cool to to see the guys passion and energy hasn't waned since then.
I'm a baby when it comes to horror games but, I loved Dead Space so much even though it scared me beyond measure, I'm definitely going to pickup a copy of this game.
So happy to see the spiritual fathers of DEAD SPACE back at it, better than ever. It's gonna be a bloody good time.
I love how a movie from the 1970s captivated these men to use cues from it. One of the best sci-fi films ever movies were soooo good back in the day damn I miss those kind of well put together movies
There's so much work that goes into making one game! My gosh! Good work team!
These guys ooze passion
You can tell they're making art and not just a product demanded by a publisher
Super excited for this masterpiece.
I watched a lot of the making of stuff. I’m thinking about bying this game just to support them for so much great and hard work…seems they put a lot of passion into it!
Loving this series ARS. Just wonderful instructive stuff.
Loving these videos, its incredible how passionate glen and the studio is about this game. Cant Wait
The artistic vision, the tremendous amount of research, commitment to realism and passion are fascinating. It's getting hard to wait until December 2nd.
These videos are great, love the inside look at game development and seeing how passionate developers are.
Been keeping up with these clips while waiting on my preorder. I know this is going to be a hell of a ride!
This series is amazing. Hope to see more of this from this studio in the future.
Love these videos. They're a treat to watch !
Wow this looks really good! Great work you guys love the in depth background conversation! Can't wait to play this... during the day XD
I love how transparent striking distance is, ever since the first cinematic trailer I've been waiting for a release date, then knowing that Glen Schofield was behind it made the anticipation more worth while
Glen is a master when it comes to lighting and sound. So excited about this! Preordered it.
Amazing work, they all work so well together.. Wonderful artwork and sound.. Looking forward to playing this
0:27 is ssuch a great touch. Having the game show a hallway then switching to Glen. Such a fire edit. I LOVE little details like these.
Their passion combined with their experience and knowledge is a combination for a special game.
this team is so amazing and you can clearly see how they are passionate about their project. Im super excited to play this game day one. Thanks you Glen for scarying us again ^^ Welcome back
Amazing. Love this team. Love Glen. Amazing comparison between ue5 and real life images. Day one purchase!
The passion 👌🏻 can’t wait for this to drop 🔥
these videos should've been a bonus for when you complete the story its very in depth and interesting
Has the game gone gold yet? Because it looks absolutely immense and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.
Props to their facial tech also, I don’t know what they’re doing behind the scenes, but they’re the best I’ve seen.
Incredible quality. Pre-ordered and ready to get my pants scared off
NO PREORDERS! just kidding. got my preorder as well :)
This man is a genius, a guy with a clear vision and attention to quality and detail and a talented and motivated team.
I guess that's something which is missed often nowadays which is a sad thing...
Шикарно смотрится, а эти фильмы надо будет пересмотреть еще раз для погружения))
Hopefully fixes are coming soon, especially for series X. If Quality is his main concern they need to get on it ASAP
This team is so cool, I wish them the best luck!
Something I noticed is when the creature jumped down from the vent. In previous trailers, when it did, the vent would do this ridiculous unrealistic flip but here it looks alot more natural and real. Lol sounds like a nitpick but that alone shows me that they're aware of what they're making and have that eye for perfection. God I can't wait for this game!
Great video, thank you so much for this! Glenn is gonna knock this one outta the park baby!
Buying a pound of weed and playing this all weekend of release. Simple pleasures in life 🙏🏽
So fun to watch glen talk about his games, Hes so passionate and really cares about his games. I just love him
LMAO 🤣 Yeah I'm sure he does. 🤣😂🤣
i can listen to Glen forever and never get tired i hope this game and the ppl who made it gets all the love they deserve , also more of these videos plz.
Yes, ikr.. I cam listen to him about this all day, or whatever else
We're almost there! I'm counting the days for this game.
Their marketing reminds of how it used to be around 2010 and earlier. You get to see a face and name of the people making the game, they are showing off their process.
The passion is incredible to see and I have a feeling this is going to end up being one of my favourite games. Fingers crossed its well optimized on pc.
Glen looks, sounds, talks, carries himself and just all around reminds me of my late favorite uncle Ron. I would have an uncontrollable urge to give him a big hug if I ever met him, and it makes him my all time favorite game designer ever. I know he's not my uncle but it's so hard not to be reminded of my favorite person on earth just looking at him. As a horror artist myself, meeting him would be one of the top bucket list things for me and I really hope someday I can. I wouldn't tell him any of that though I don't want to scare anybody lol just watching him always makes me cry a little.
Just watched a live stream. The lighting is some of the best I've seen.
There is no way that this game won't live up to the hype and the new survival horror game that other developers look to for inspiration for new projects. Looks very scary and fun this will be a 10/10
I love listening to Glen Schofield talk. His passion for creating games is inspiring.
Damn I'm so pumped for this game 🤩
Can't wait to fire it up on my Series X 🤩
OG Dead Space Dream Team? Yes, please and thank you. 🙏
I love what you do, and cant wait to try it out meself :D Cheers to all at the studio
Who else is exited for this game of the year to come out I’ve already pre ordered for ps5
I swear man Glen Schofield is sooo damn generous with his explanations and insights. I feel like I could almost direct a game thanks to the videos he's put out.
It's pretty cool these last few videos seeing what Glen does more. Some of the earlier ones it wasn't as clear.
5:10I literally jumped in my chair... Game is going to be really scary for me!
Got damn I wish I could work for Glen. Seems like the last studio that actually values it's artists besides Santa Monica and FromSoft.
To the editor of the video, LOVE the transition at 0:25 ! Much respect bro/sis !
Can not wait to play this game
Great to see we've got some OG Dead Space guys working on this. Also, please please please release the "Art Bible" for us to buy. I'd snap that up in a heartbeat to sit along-side my Dead Space one
Guys like glen and the teams that work with him, keep these kinds of single player masterpieces around for us to really enjoy.
I've been waiting literal years for Glen to do more interviews
Fantastic that they got the original team working on it
Now im even more exited to play this cant wait 🤩
The dodge mechanic seems like it'll be so satisfying if you can clear an entire room with it
Mr Schofield living the dream here. Can't wait to play this one soon 💯
VERY much looking forward to this.
One of the few "Must have" games I'm actually considering paying full price on, in this recession economy, that's something for me!
Nevermind. I'm a Pc gamer.. And the Pc version is currently a stuttery mess, apparently. Even the Xbox SX version is compromised apparently? What a terrible mess.
Digital Foundry's Alex almost seems like he has PTSD because of the shader compilation issues! (Maybe he was looking forward to this one too, as I was). This is very disappointing, what should be the best version of this game, is the WORST version.. Very sad state of affairs with this one.
I do have a PS5, maybe I'll grab a copy for that, and run it at... sigh... 30fps.. Nah, I'll wait.
More from him please!!
I might buy this game just for the sake that the devs care, and put so much pation into it.
they worked thru covid glen treats his staff like trash
@@radiatedritch i know a lot of people who worked through covid ... lol
@@radiatedritch shut up
@@radiatedritch proof?
@@radiatedritch from all the videos I’ve seen every single employee has the most respect for Glenn
Man i rly hope the game is a huge success. These guys are so passionate. I will do my share and buy it day one!
I remember the lighting in some environments in amnesia the dark descent were the greatest experience I had in regard to it, together with the fact that lighting was crucial to gameplay, at some moments I remember having a weird synesthesic feeling of feeding from light sources in that game.
