I remember him from way back when you guys invited him to talk about Dead Space 1. Thank you and everyone here for the great insight to the game direction!
Way way back in 2019? Lolol
That was a great episode
@@jarlwhiterun7478 I mean it's almost 4 years ago
It wasn't long ago...
Him?
You mean a certain Mr. Glenn Schofield.
Man deserves a knighthood, services to gaming.
I really wish Glen and his team good health to continue this franchise and create this new age of horror games.
good health and good budgets! ;)
the baton in the game is designed after the mayan war club called macuahuitl
They deserve it for sure. Unsung heroes of the genre
you just want attention.
@Tjokkaflens yeah, he was always a big guy. Oh well, personal choices.
Glen Schofield is clearly so passionate about what he creates. Love to see it
YOUR MOM IS PASSIONATE
He is also very passionate about food, judging by that belly lol
@@tmasterful1 why you gotta fat shame him for having a dad bod. Lol wtf
That's 100% beer belly
@@tmasterful1 mans not young anymore
This is the kind of stuff that makes you want to pre order a game. No fancy CGI trailers but just a team of creatives in a meeting room clearly 100% committed to bring the best product to us gamers.
Old Bungie moment
Preorder is bad
@@chaikagaz Not inherently. It's a business practice that can be used in both a positive and a negative way.
@uqs57bju Pre ordering nowadays I'd absolutely pointless as games are never sold out, that and they very rarely relaese in a finished state.
@@uqs57bju Its never good.
really hope this game is a success for Glen and the Team, you can really tell they poured their heart and souls into this project.
its being banned in japan and other countries im sure so it must be good lmao
@@8narutoshodowclones Did they also banned gruesome whale hunting in Japan?
@@stevemuzak8526 Say it louder for the folks in the back!
@@8narutoshodowclones
Why being banned in Japan and other Countries?!
@@stevemuzak8526 bruh what about the dolphins they trap and hatchet to death or just let drown....plus the yellow fin or blue fin tuna that the Yakuza hold a monopoly on with government funding....think about that the most conservative antiviolence government supports a gang that's lives on violence oh the irony
Seeing glen and steve papoutsis got me so hyped man. I watched every single developer behind the scenes clip leading up to dead space’s release and steve was in almost all of them. so glad to see these guys getting the band back together again.
I really hope they're trying to completely outdo Dead Space. I loved dead space, but personally I didn't think it was scary (2 definitely was tho). This one looks to have better mechanics but I hope it's terrifying even if that means it's extremely difficult
Fr man! Great to see Steve 🙌
YES I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS😁
They gonna make those necros *PULP*
29 Dead Space developers working on this so my hype level is insane
Seeing this PR post compared to the actual game we got release day 💀
Watching this now LMAO
Steve's phrase about pressure creating diamonds is just brilliant!
Does make explosions too...
I liked it too. Seems like a a really positive atmosphere, and I cant wait to experience the results!
And the “you can only tell a joke once”, comedy is like horror so you have to stick the landing is good
“Perfected”
THIS IS WHAT GAMING IS ALL ABOUT! This brings me back to the glory days of video gaming development BUT now we have super Advanced tech, software capabilities and finally a passionate creative team is willing to see just how far their creativity can take them, how well it plays, it's atmosphere, balance, feel. This is my #1 game that I am getting Day One! (Someone greenlight Glen to work on any project because the guy is not only a game designer genius. He is so talented at collecting a Team that works so well together. Which is rare these days. Someone Back this guy and anyone else who is working with him. This is game dev talent at it's finest and it is beyond a valuable asset to a game being good.)
Couldn’t agree more! Hit the nail on the spot talking about how technology advances but that companies nowadays don’t take advantage of it. THIS is what gaming is about and cannot wait either!
Another thing that’s ruining games are the people that’s developing them. most of the time it’s a bunch of woke genz kids who don’t even care about video games. it’s like a job to them more than it is a passion project like it was for the people before. just look at saints row reboot and the characters in the game.
Im buying this both because it looks cool and because the behind the scenes stuff these guys have been showing us should be the industry standard. Power to this studio
another victim bought the corporate lie.
@@heavenofmyhell2724 what? so you don't buy a single video game?
@@Mr.BananaManYT i do buy games often. what I don't do is give praises to marketing team shills, especially when its a studio that is yet to release their first game. "industry standards", what a clown.
@@heavenofmyhell2724 eh whatever, games gonna be great anyway i can tell.
@@Mr.BananaManYTJUST DONT PREORDER. wait for trusted reviews AFTER RELEASE. Its people like you who got the gaming industry in the situation its in now.
welp, this video aged like milk outside of a refrigerator on a hot summer night
I’ve been wanting a game like this for years now. Can. Not. Wait.
Less than a month. Definitely hyped.
@@ryanblanchard2508 when its gonna comme out
December 2, 2022 🤙
3 weeks bud, it'll be here before you know it. I remember in the calisto protocol group they were joking about "69" days left and that month went by super quick, it's just the last few days that'll be a pain to wait out
Lol. There is a game just like this.
It's called Dead Space.
I'm so happy that Steve Papoutsis is on team! Feels good that the big heads of dead space are collaborating on this amazing game
Im a simple man. I see Glenn Schofield I click!
I love these behind-the-scenes documentaries and interviews. A great way to gain insight into the teams that make our favorite games and realize how much hard work and creativity goes into them! keep it up!
YES, IT HAS BEEN BUILDING THE HYPE LIKE CRAZY I'M OVER HERE WANTING TO PLAY THE ABSOLUTE f$%# OUT OF THIS GAME LOL.
@@zombieboyx620 not long left dude. 3 weeks!
LMFAO this aged well
Game still rocks 🔥
I'm a big fan of the dead space series, thank you GLEN and everyone who worked on The Callisto Protocol
This was excellent and I really wish there was a 1 hour+ NoClip documentary to follow it up, cannot wait for this game!
Seeing Glen Schofield and Steve Papoutsis working together brings a tear to my eye! This game is gonna be epic!
Bro what did they perfect 💀
So proud of this team. I really wish them all the best. I'm sure this will be a great experience to play.
0:20 Shoutout to the editor that was slick
glen really cares about his projects man. the Dead space 1 video still inspires me how he talks about it
Love that video if we talking about the same one. It’s where it talks about the first dead space development
the irony in this
Funny how when people actually care about their work they make amazing stuff like this. I might not like gore but I'll push through it to play this game. Wish me luck fellas
You can do it !!
Just make sure you are by yourself , in the dark , no lights . Only headphones and at high volume. 🎃
@@tpndgo2061 hehe 👍
I don’t play much horror games, but the passion the development team did with this makes me wanna buy it on release day
You can turn gore off in the settings apparently
The visuals are literally jaw dropping.
Just like when they talked about the mechanics and art behind dead space, this has me smiling and excited for the game. These guys deserve all the support on launch day, so glad Glen and co. are back and delivering on such a unique and detail oriented experience, I can't wait, it's going to be like DS launch all over again.
I love Ars Technica for uploading these insights into the technical side of game development. Tremendously interesting.
Can't wait for TCP :)
TCP/Best IP 😏
I completely forgot that’s what the PS5 developer kit looks like. So glad that didn’t end up being the final look lmao
Cannot wait for this game to come out. I love how much passion they all have for making games, really lets me know that it's going to be so much fun to play.
I mean enough people said its gonna be meh but will see. I am not really fan of survival-horrors but i played in The Evil Within 2, Resident Evil 2 remake, and i love sci-fi setting my fav tbh so will see
I actually remember as a kid playing the Barbie game on the gameboy that Glenn worked on. It was actually alright.
Wtf 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@Jaylou88 Its true! It was a platformer game like Mario.
@@Nigel222 wow, I definitely need to look into that 😅
Now I can’t stop thinking about Barbie curb stomping aliens.
Glens a really down to earth bloke and a great director
lol "shoot the tentacles" is one way of saying "Cut off their limbs" love that
I like Glen and you can tell he loves what he does.
The hold-stick dodge and melee combat, and it’s lack in weapon variety really held this game back. When a game that looks like a 10, plays like a 6.
"so that was a &*%$ing lie" - people who played the game
Right
LMAO 🤣
8:45 Don't worry Glen everything is gonna go well. I am excited for this game more than God of war. I love everything about the game the graphics, the detailed main character animation, melee combat, gunplay, ragdoll physics of NPCs, interactive environments it is this kind of realism and immersion is what that is going to make this game standout from others. It truly looks and plays like how a modern game should. All the best to the team.
"How The Callisto Protocol's Marketing Was Perfected Months Before Release"
correct title
Cannot wait for this! Such a wonderful comeback story for this genre.
The melee was definitely not perfected though
It was clown 🤡 you just probably didn't comprehend it..
@@TheVoid24 How
@@cypher5009 the Melee was the easiest thing to comprehend even tho it was tough to knock them down but have you not played deadspace they didn't go down easy with a bunch of punches right?, as I said it was perfect...
@@TheVoid24 dude, if a huge number of people had issues with it then it's called bad design. Just because you like to cope by feeling superior to others is irrelevant.
@@TheVoid24 cope harder
I truly hope their nothing ever goes wrong with their game, they really have a good thing going on here.
You got the title wrong. It should have been "How The Callisto Protocol's Gameplay Was NOT Perfected Months Before Release".
no, it should have been titled how TCP's combat was BROKEN months before release
This isn't me saying this as someone whose played the game, I wasn't especially planning to get it (maybe later), but seeing and watching people I follow's review of the game, it does feel funny getting this vid recommended now.
Was it perfected tho?
Lol 😂
Yes its a perfect 10
out of 100..
Marketing
So happy to see Glen Schofield talking about game development again on ars technica! Thank you guys!
definitely a day one buy for me, Glen and the team really know what players want to experience
I wish Glen was my dad. I love this dude. It seems the way he works with his team is amazing. He seems like he'll give each and every person they're time. I'm stoked for this game.
The best game directors are like that. Hugo Martin is too.
What happened to your real dad
@@femiairboy94 he left dog
@@HugoStiglitz88 haha spoke too soon
@@operator1338 You are thinking of Marty Stratton, not Martin.
Hugo Martin is still a gem in the DooM community. He is the Glen Schofield that DooM needed.
You can see the dedication and passion the team has
It's cool to see developers with a passion for putting quality and depth into their work. Excited to see how this one turns out!!
This. This is how video games need to be developed. 🔥❤️
Glen and his team did an awesome job with this game, keep up the good work and keep it coming 🎉
Now we know why they played it on PS5...
"he's just pieces" oh glen, i love you
Damn! Glen has put on quite a bit of weight since his Dead Space days.
What a pleasure to see so much passion through Glen and the team, we rarely see behind the scenes of current games or one video or the other, but that's it. Keep it up it's great ! I'm not into horror at all but i'm a big sci fi guy, you pushed me in a good way to discover this "horror sci fi" universe. Thanks and looking forward to see more of this.
The passion and attention to detail on display is so refreshing to see. Gonna knock it out of the park with this game!
Glen, you are awesome! Thank you so much for bringing back survival horror. Wish you all the best man!
Glen Schofield is a national treasure
Man glen is like a Hugo Martin for calisto...great guy and cant wait to play the game!
This is a team that has a clear passion for this game, more developers need to be like these people. Good job guys game looks great iv just placed my pre order
Big respect to these guys, the interactivity in combat and how that ties into the gore and level design is something I been waiting for. Oh yeah, and it’s up there with the best visually
Between this, the Dead Space remake, the RE4 remake and Routine, horror fans gonna be feastin', man.
The art team and the animation team did their job but the Game Designer team.
I love seeing this guy, I loved the videos of him talking about dead space in the past, something about his passion really makes him stand out for me.
So stoked for this one.
He is the reason why I'm a huge fan of Isaac Clarke
This is one of the few games that I will pre-order at full price. They deserve my money.
You guys never learn do you
@@John-iu9kl ffs just stop. pre ordering is fine with enough research and proper and honest promotion. Major publishers are to blame for the "dont pre order" mentality. This game is largely independent from greedy corporations from what ive seen.
@@coreymckee4844 remember No Man's Sky? The developers released multiple trailers / videos hyping the game and announcing finally their game is gone gold 😅. But it took them alot of time post launch to make it gold and people who prordered it bit the bullet. I learned my lesson from those poor people who prordered it to never believe the hype
@@coreymckee4844 lol star wars profile pic, actuaI NPČ comment
Preordering is basically a 50/50 on either u ending up happy with ur purchase or ending up regretting it
Nothing but love for this team! And I cant wait to play this game.
So much we take for granted when we boot up a new game. Such hard work and passion goes into these projects.
Really looking forward to play TCP. I'm a big fan of DS1/2 and from all the videos I can see this will be great!
Glen Schofield is a amazing game designer, Dead Space was a incredible unique game and The Callisto Protocol looks like the perfect spiritual successor to it, so hyped 👏👏👏🙌 love behind the scenes Development videos, this was really good!
The best way to show off a new game. Great work guys!
So so happy to see Steve Papoutsis on the team! Somehow missed him until now, can't wait to play.
I'm usually very sceptical and cynic when it comes to the modern gaming industry. But this is the kind of game and developers that deserves every bit of support even their publisher Krafton whose CEO is former developer himself who understands game development and developers, who allowed complete creative autonomy unlike what EA did with Visceral.
To think Dead Space's blend of horror and violence had to clear so much red tape back in the day.
I'm really glad these guys were able to push this title to be a perfect and hopefully unhindered vision.
SO good to see you guys back from Dead Space! Looking forward to it!
Brilliant seems good people to work for,where the big bosses of the company and the workers get on well and dont feel the scared factor if one enters the room as they all get on well. really impressed with the game alot and seeing new stuff never seen like 3d printing of weapons and seeing you collect voice logs . that dodging move seems brilliant also love that.
I hope Glens health gets better, he doesn't look or sound in that good condition. Fantastic mind, but we need him at his peak and around for a very long time 🙏
This game looks incredible
this is a really cool behind the scenes video man...this is an awesome look how much time and detail these game designers put into making these games man
Can't wait, truly can't wait for this.
Glen Schofield and his team are the real deal. I hope they succeed and continue to make great games!
This man. Dude's a symbol of a great quality videogames. The passion, the dedication and the excitement in overcoming the challenges and bringing something new to the players. Man this is what really videogames are about. A healthy cultured videogame company just want to deliver the Best! This game is gonna be the goty best survival horror game ever made.
as it should be 🙂
Seeing Glen back doing what he loves is what the community not only deserves but is craving. I can't wait for this!
Glad y’all brought him back! Great insight
The best transition award goes to 0:22
OH NO
This makes me hyped to play the game. Nice to see so much care and love put into a game.
Fantastic to see game developers work passionately on a project like this. Seems a lot of attention, detail and hard work has gone into this, looking forward to it.
It's good to see Steve papoutsis working on the Callisto protocol because he was the game director of Dead space 2 and that was EASILY the best dead space game ever in its franchise!
This video aged like milk.
Great look behind the scenes, huge fan of Glen and glad he's getting back to what made "Dead Space" great.
Im so thankful and excited for this.
3:29 "Maybe a couple more in there like 2-3 in a row"
They've removed most of them through a patch and all of them from lockers 😂🤣
And they mention alot of stuff that is just not in the end product. Being able to dismember corpses for example. Biophages, sure. But not dead corpses of prisoners or guards. You also can't "playback" that Hologram scene from the inventory menu as they claim here.
And it's interesting to see them comment on "People take about an hour to get used to the GRP bar at the back of the head" when one of the biggest complaints was that people didn't know how that GRP bar exactly worked after even a full playthrough.
Glen and his studio rapidly became one of the most lovable things in the entire industry, I can't but to wish this game turns out fantastic, they really deserve it
Jacob's suit looks so sweet too, this game is going to be special.
Great seeing masters at work.
imagine if developers had passion like this for their games
Imagine if EA and Activision weren't a thing 🌈
@@inglesfluente2693 don't Blame the companies, blame the people who keeps giving them Money
From software
A lot of developers do. You just dont always get well made interviews/documentaries with them. No disrespect to these guys though, Glen is a talented illustrator and has an interesting yet accessible approach to his horror games.
