Dead Space Remake VS. Protocol

[Porco Rosso]

So I remember playing the Dead Space 1 Demo when it first came out on Xbox. Was like this is kinda cool. And then kinda forgot about it haha. . Been getting into horror games lately and hear such good things about Dead Space etc.

I hear Dead Space is a spiritual successor to Protocol? Which one should I "start" with first?


Thanks!

Both games have nothing in common, not in combat nor the storyline. Only the fact that both titles play in outerspace.

Dead Space is a much better game, Callisto is a broken corridor boxing game in space. Play the original DS for $5, the new one doesn't offer enough for the price.

understood, and thanks!

You know there’s such a thing as “reviews” on steam. If that ain’t sufficient you can always look up your favourite YouTubers/reviewers. Though currently I can safely say at least 9/10 would recommend DS whilst the opposite, 1/10 would recommend TCP. Pick whatever you think your money you think your money will stretch furthest.

[Porco Rosso]

Sure. But why not get "another resource" on both games? All opinions are welcome : ).

Play dead space first, imo callisto is a good game, but dead space is an amazing game. I think it does horror and combat better. But start on whichever one is more interesting to you

Play dead space. Combat is more fun, more engaging and generally looks better.

Callisto has horrific combat, mainly malee driven and weapons and these force power have hardly any impact. I feared the combat than the game.

Play Dead Space. The remake is great plus Dead Space 2 holds up pretty well so you can play that afterwards.

Callisto is crap. I refunded it and I LOVE this genre.

Having finished the Dead Space remake and am now playing through this.

I, can't see a single thing Callisto is doing better than a remake for an old game outside of having some nice graphics. Dead Space Remake kinda just. nailed it.

- More enjoyable and gooey combat
- Gunplay felt better
- Story was better structured
- Exploration via a better free-roam and Locator was easier to map out where you're going.
- Tension was higher in Dead space. Callisto currently feels... predictable.
- For controller, for me personally, DS feels more natural.

And while this 'might' get me some flak or people laughing at me. I'm playing on Medium currently, and it feels EXCESSIVELY hard. I'm not used to this Odd form of Melee combat so maybe that's what's doing it to me.

Minor complaint- Stomping in Callisto feels like crap compared to the Spam-stomp in the DS remake.

In my opinion The Calisto Protocol is the second best game of 2022 after Elden Ring.

TCPs odd Melee boring af. The gameplay loop is just horrible and not fun.
