1
00:00:00.033 --> 00:00:01.803
- [Man] Take a look outside.

2
00:00:02.850 --> 00:00:06.063
Did you know that they call
Callisto the dead moon?

3
00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:10.500
- At the recent Summer Games Fest,

4
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:13.290
we got some first looks at
a bunch of upcoming games

5
00:00:13.290 --> 00:00:15.210
including "The Callisto Protocol."

6
00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:17.220
Survival, horror, shooter

7
00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:19.507
set in the prison colony on Jupiter.

8
00:00:19.507 --> 00:00:21.570
"Callisto Protocol" is the brainchild

9
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:23.370
of directors, Glen Schofield,

10
00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:25.470
who was formerly executive producer

11
00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:29.670
on 2008's beloved sci-fi horror
action game, "Dead Space."

12
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:32.280
In a recent interview
speaking about "Callisto,"

13
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.230
Schofield had this to same.

14
00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:37.260
- I can't see people going,
"Oh, that's 'Dead Space 4.'"

15
00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:39.540
- Respectfully Glen, from what we've seen,

16
00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:41.700
this is pretty much "Dead Space 4."

17
00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.700
You start out defenseless,
confused, and trapped

18
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:47.820
with mutated humans that have huge mouths

19
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.650
and far too many limbs.

20
00:00:49.650 --> 00:00:52.920
Past horrors are relived
via grainy hologram logs,

21
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.950
both have the awfully
convenient back health bar,

22
00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:58.470
but "Callisto Protocol"
makes it horizontal.

23
00:00:58.470 --> 00:01:01.200
So it's different, kinda.

24
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.380
And the death cut scenes
are brutally gory.

25
00:01:04.380 --> 00:01:07.320
I'm sorry, but these are
all the characteristics

26
00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:08.670
of a "Dead Space" entry.

27
00:01:08.670 --> 00:01:11.220
But "Callisto" isn't the
only "Dead Space"-like

28
00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:13.710
we're expecting to see in
the next calendar year.

29
00:01:13.710 --> 00:01:17.370
There's also "Aliens: Dark
Descent," "Fort Solis."

30
00:01:17.370 --> 00:01:21.660
In the first person realm, were
getting "Scorn," "Routine,"

31
00:01:21.660 --> 00:01:23.370
and a new "System Shock" remake.

32
00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:25.083
On top of all that noise.

33
00:01:26.403 --> 00:01:28.410
(heavy breathing)

34
00:01:28.410 --> 00:01:31.440
Here's where we mention
the OG "Dead Space"

35
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:33.750
is getting its own next gen remake.

36
00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:37.740
Now I love "Dead Space" as
much as the next Isaac Clarke,

37
00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:39.240
but this is getting absurd.

38
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:40.073
Don't get me wrong.

39
00:01:40.073 --> 00:01:41.430
Space horror slaps.

40
00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:44.580
The return of big budget
sci-fi action horror

41
00:01:44.580 --> 00:01:45.780
is very welcome,

42
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:48.240
but it's strange how
all these titles happen

43
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:50.520
to be coming out within
a year of each other

44
00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:52.680
after such a sizeable time gap.

45
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.500
With arguably 2017's
"Prey" being the genre's

46
00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:56.700
last standard bear.

47
00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.610
Were all these developers in
the same secret Discord chat

48
00:01:59.610 --> 00:02:03.330
or is this upcoming glut of
space horror a mere coincidence?

49
00:02:03.330 --> 00:02:04.200
What do you all think?

50
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:05.940
