For instance… did the soundtrack always sound like such a terrific riff on Goldsmith’s work on Alien? As I play this game, Alien: Isolation is popping into my head more than Callisto Protocol, which is not really a comparison I remember drawing before and I know it seems absurd because this is game where you are blowing monsters apart in rooms that are festooned with entrails and blood spatters in a way that the chillier, eerier Isolation rarely permits. This week, we receive a current generation remake of Dead Space and I both love it and keep having moments where I feel like I need to go back to the original game to see if this is an even more revisionist remake than I can recall. Times and graphical capabilities have changed, though. The “CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS” combat that created a mechanical justification for an extreme gore-fest was surprisingly fun and the Ishimura was a rotting industrial hell that had aged well as a setting despite being so clearly a product of its era. Even then, however, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed a game that I remembered getting respectful but not adoring reviews upon its release. I didn’t play the original Dead Space until 2016, and then it was on a PC port that was so bad that even the tolerance for half-assed PC controls that I built up throughout the late 2000s was tested. Rob: Now this is more like it, don’t you think? You’ll get to hear Rob and I unpack our thoughts on this updated cosmic horror on Waypoint Radio this week, but in the meantime, after playing the finished game for a few hours, we went back and forth over what we make of the formally silent Isaac Clarke speaking in this one, how haunting the atmosphere of barely-audible whispers feels, and why it remains sick as hell to walk around with a floating fan that you’re prepared to launch at an alien’s feet. EA Motive has applied what amounts to a light touch to updating Dead Space since it came out more than a decade ago, but it looks like Dead Space (now, with much better lighting) and plays like Dead Space (now, with a better map and transit system to use). But The Callisto Protocol tried really hard to be a modern spin on Dead Space, and what it mostly revealed was how good Dead Space still was. Under the right circumstances, such as late in the evening with a beer, it was even good. Look, The Callisto Protocol was well-meaning.

Jesus Christ are Guerrilla Games the greediest game studio owned by Sony. This outrageous greed makes EA and Ubisoft look like saints in comparison. Not to mention that this game is locked behind a $550 paywall, while GT7 isn't. Seeing how Gran Turismo 7 has PSVR 2 support for free, that means the complete Horizon Forbidden West experience is $120-130. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. The story is horrible and so is the protagonist. Not even Bethesda would be that greedy to lock first person mode behind a $60 paywall. Why didn't HFW have a first person mode in the first place? Oh that's right, greed and laziness. Even then, the developers were too lazy and greedy to make missions, so the majority of the short campaign is just climbing. All the lazy developers did was made it first person and added a few new missions and called it a day. The greedy developers are charging $60 for the same game as Horizon Bug-ridden West.
