i wish more studios showed the process of making a game it so cool to see everything come together.

I really hope it's gonna be a franchise! World need more single player horror AAA games!

I'm so glad Ars Technica is deep in the documentaries with this game. If the game turns out to be amazing then this is something I'll come back to for the memories. Hell, we'll probably see KZfaq channels years from now using this footage to talk about the development of TCP. Can't wait for the game!

The game rocked. Can't wait for the dlc!

This documentary has single handily made me want to get the game and has made me aware of Glenn Schofield. Thank you for this. Incredible to watch

I just love how much love and effort they're putting into this game. Like Glen knows exactly what he wants in the game and the team. You know it's gonna be a really really good and fun game can't wait to play it

I can't wait. I just got a 65" sony oled and a dolby surround. I'm super excited about the sound design and lighting, going to have nightmares for christmas

Mocap is so cool man

Glen Schofield really knows how to put together a great team that really put so much passion into whatever project they create. They have put so much depth into the gore effects, physics effects, atmosphere, environment, gross & grime, yet it's really oddly facinating to look at. I'm so excited. This dev team seems so good & passionate about what they do and create. It gives me vibes to the best of the good old days of the Xbox 360 era games. Finally something like this but with the capabilities of the modern day tech/software/hardware capabilities and actually being used in effective satisfying ways. It's crazy how rare it has been to see something like this. We've been going through a really long slump in gaming quality for quite a few years now imo. So I'm hoping this is the start to a new chapter of gaming & development now starting. Me personally, I care way less about graphics, ray tracing, etc. Compared to how much I care about physics builds, good enemies good a.I., physics effects related to combat and environmental aspects, character movement. Like being able to move around uniquely, climb, etc. Really letting us explore and play around with well built game mechanics in a polished environment. That's what matters to me. It Truly feels like software capabilities are FINALLY catching up to Hardware technology and honestly I feel that will be the huge factor in improving games. Up until now, we've had powerful hardware tech but devs really have been so limited and restrained to what they can do, create, all because previous game build engine's were so tedious, stubborn, restrictive, cumbersome, hindering to a devs creativity, to how gameplay mechanics, physics effects feel, render, process things. We finally now have software capabilities that I truly believe will improve our quality of games and improve the quality, the process of building games, becoming way less tedious and cumbersome, and opening the door to way more capabilities for satisfying mechanics, and just how the games even process rendering to enhance the overall quality of how games can run with the new hardware and console's. Im very excited to see what the future brings. (someone Please get behind supporting Glen Schofield and his team so they can create and dive into any project that they are passionate about. This is s great group of people. Whatever they make, they make with quality and satisfying gameplay mechanics, physics builds, etc. I hope investors BACK THIS TEAM at striking distance studios! Gaming needs teams like this one, they understand how to make games fun and satisfying.)

Is it just me or do Glen and his team(s) just do an outstanding job on pretty much every project they're working on (given they have control). First DS1 that did so many things right other than the horror survival aspect. Now they do just about the perfect job to get this next milestone hyped up without showing too much of it in the first place! They're building sympathy and let the world see just _how much_ passion they have for what they do, I luv it!

This is probably the only game I'm expecting to live up or exceed the hype. Really hoping for mass success to this game and its dev team.

Man the passion and knowledge these guys have is damn admirable. Hope they pass them down to the nxt Gen of game developers/directors~

Love this behind the scenes stuff. The game might not be a flawless masterpiece when it comes out, but you can feel the quality and the love of the craft oozing from this game. Good to see devs happy to work on their game rather than too stressed to give this wonderful info.

For the first time in years, I'm hyped for a game.

glen turning into gabe

As someone in the third year of creating my own game, I look at Glen Schofield's gut and immediately relate...

This is going to be the ultimate sci-fi horror experience. Only thing I would add is some psychological horror but seems like Striking Distance is going for full gore, atmospheric and body horror instead which is also really up my alley.

In an Era when it seems the quality of everything is in decline, it's good to see a whole team pouring their souls into something to make it the absolute best it can be. Can't wait to play this.

It was good, not GOTY material like I was expecting, but definitely worth a playthrough. 8/10.

I wish more companies would make stuff like this

I really like how they showcased their mocap studio and the fact they acknowledge its huge cost even though it will produce quality and save everyone headaches down the line. So cool!

When the making of was more interesting than the finished product

Glen and green shirt drove me nuts with shoes on mat

I don't buy many full priced games these days, but man - I might just have to get this one just to support this awesome development company!

Game of the year

All the budget went into death scenes.

Imagine being fresh out of school and this is your first project 😳

Can't wait for Friday. I scare easily but when a horror game is that good, I power through it.

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!

I do like how candid and hands-on Glen seems to be

This is the most excited I've ever been for a video game. Thank you Glen

Cannot wait. Attention to detail is next level.

Been a long time since I was THIS excited for a game!

the documentaries about the game are more fun than the actual game.

God I cannot wait for this game. Pre ordered it because of these behind the scenes videos and seeing how much love and passion has gone into it. If it doesn't win GOTY 2023 I don't know what will.

Glen Schofield is a genius. I'm so thankful for Deadspace 1 and 2, hell even 3 for nostalgia sake. I had countless hours of fun in high school playing the original trilogy. Callisto Protocol is another classic in my eyes.

amazing team

The more I see about this game the better it gets. I haven't had this type of feeling in a long time, way too long. I'm not even a big horror fan and I'm sold on this.

So smart that they made so much behind the scenes stuf, very good marketing

1:59 that guy's name, "Primo Navidad", what a cool name for Xmas time haha

really loving these behind the scenes videos, seeing the passion and craft put into making the game is so inspiring

Investing onto mocap is a no-brainer!! Amazing work!!! Can't wait to add this to my PS5 collection

I'm really rooting for Striking Distance to make a smooth release and give us a memorable experience akin to Dead Space. Like these actors on mocap stage, so far they're coming out swinging! Let's go!

I like how they're nerding out over the hardware.

It's a awesome GAME... CONGRATULATIONS....

The enemy mocap guy really got into it there at the beginning. :p

Never clicked so fast

Been waiting for this video all week. Thank you Ars Technica

It Looks So good i'm so excited! They done an amazing job with the Mocap Performances!

Man I will die on purpose just to see those crazy mo-caps in action.

Glen you must adding the *parry* system the combat will be more little bit fun

Thank you to the team for their hard work crunching on the project for years.

Wow, didn't know Davie504 doing mo-caps for game studios, that's inspiring

man! to see the Chief Creative help move the stage table, kudos to commitment!

Mocap actor has to be one of the funniest jobs

Cool timing on this vid, literally did my first mocap session for my game today and its cool being able to understand how it all works now.

This is so cool to see the setup and the process of all the action. I know a lot of games have passionate employees but I can see how so excited and passionate they are about this game. All the videos they're dropping and stuff, they're so hype for this and honestly I'm BEYOND hype for this game too!

Glen Schofield !!! If you are reading the comments, we are cheering for you and a smooth release. I pre-ordered this game.....I never do a pre-order...but I want to support the devs of this project.

They really look confident about the game, that means they made a great work for this amazing game, can’t wait to play it

Motion Capture rotoscoping today's world is an art form in my view, in addition to acting you have to have a sense of physics.

Im so happy to play the game, it looks awasome!!!

Watching the behind-the-scenes perspective adds to the immersion and detail of the game. Once you are playing, you realize the intensity and the transition of each location and how they place a lot of their ideas to make each moment come to life. So freaking excited we are sooo close to the release!

This game gave me the same kind of feeling when i saw Dead Space for the first time. This will probably be a masterpiece, i can't wait :D

Wishing the best to the team. Might pick this up after reviews are out.

The dude acting like the monster is excellent!

Incredible work!

So stoked! Glad the hardcore death scenes are brought back. That last one at the end of this daaaam lol!

And it came out awesome!!!🔥🔥 Great job!!!👏👏

"The freedom to ask them to fix anything anytime" that's my dream... instead doing everything by myself :(

Well done guys, really good to see such positive energy and genuine approaches. You've done a great job I hope you do really well. Iv bought the game, happy to support great studios like yours.

i love to hear their passion when it comes to pushing the boundaries of realism and immersion. it’s what i love about video games so i’m very excited to play what they’ve made tomorrow!!

Best making of ever

Im gonna buy Da Callisto Protocol later seems awesome

Excited to play thsi game on launch! Hopefully it lives up to the hype.

I love Ars for doing this. They’ve had a history with Glen which is nice. And I love, love, love Glen! Seems like an honestly cool dude and down-to-Earth game dev. Super happy for him and his team, and cannot wait to play the new game!!! Thanks to everyone at Ars for this little mini-series 👍🏼

This game only took 2.75 years to develop? In the midst of Covid?! That right there is just astonishing. We need more games like this. The copy-pasting of open-world games has long over-stayed its welcome, let a new era of creativity reign such as this.

And this is how you speak to your community, you just show your work, speak about it, the goods and the bads, the team in general, everything ! This studio is clearly one of the best you can find, i have high hope for this new game, The Callisto Protocol gonna be a blast and for sure a classic surviavl horror game for the 2020 decade ! Good job guys ;)

Cant wait to play this 💯💯

Love these videos

Really looking forward to this and I hope It does well for the studio.

This series has been incredible. Love it and very stoked for this game. We need more like this. 👍👍

So excited for this game!! These videos got me all excited about Glen and his creativity and I’ve been cruising through the Dead Space games. A couple hours into the 3rd one now. I love them! This game does look super similar though, I know he keeps saying it’s different, but the vibe, characters, monsters, atmosphere, sounds and user interfaces seem extremely similar. Cant wait to get my hands on it to see

These are so interesting

we are so close to release cant wait to appreciate these hardwokers work.

i hope it delivers and lives up to the hype and i have faith that it will

Depending on the reviews I think I will just buy this at full price to support them. I mean AAA single player Sci Fi horror with such a dedicated team? Hell yeah!

Awesome 😊

Cant wait to start playing it tonight.

8:14 the enemies here are intelligent enough to know self defense. This game is going to be soo good.

I really don't understand the scepticism and doubt surrounding this game, Schofield is the man, the technology is second to none, everyone on board is highly enthusiastic and lastly there's just no way this team is gonna release something less than amazing. I'd be VERY surprised if this turned out to be a flop. Can't wait for Friday!

so freaking hyped for this. LETS GO

stuff like this is so cool

Also props to Glen and team!

you've done an incredible job on this game I've pre orded the deluxe version i think this is game of the year for me

Usually game companies are so secretive about their process in making their games, but I absolutely LOVE how open Ars Technica and Glen Schofield has been in showing all the BTS stuff from 'The Callisto Protocol'. It really makes me SO much more hyped for the game and also makes me makes me want to give all the awards for the artists behind it. I hope this is something which will happen more often on big releases!

i can’t wait for this game

Glen made dead space he actually cares about making a good game so you have nothing to worry about it's gonna be what you are expecting a high quality triple a horror game.

This is so cool 😍😍😍

I'm trying to stay as cold on the game as I can, but I keep seeing videos like this and I have to investigate. This game looks so incredible. I am really looking forward to December 2nd

Anybody else see Glen and just know he's got it in the bag? Dude is something else good team and leadership.
