With gaming maturing through the years, developers and publishers inevitably found new ways to market games without resorting to ultra-violence as a selling point. Though popular games, such as Last of Us and Resident Evil, feature notable violence, upcoming titles like Scorn, Callisto Protocol and Dead Island 2, where violence and gore are main attractions, seem poised for a return. While no surprise to fans familiar with their staff's history, the concept comes at a time when games that revel in over-the-top violence haven't been as prevalent as they once were. Striking Distance Games has made it clear that Callisto Protocol will be a very violent game.
“ In one of our trailers," James demonstrates, "he backed into a fan, and when you’re backing away from a monster you’ve got to be really careful because these hazards can kill you as much as the enemy in front of you.” While James wouldn't reveal how many deaths there would be, he coyly hinted that players will “ have to work hard” to see them all. We want you to see death not as a punishment but as a time to learn about what you did wrong, and a little bit of tongue-in-cheek entertainment about how you die.” James continued with how Callisto Protocol’s bloodthirsty denizens and environments will each have their own way to kill players, putting Callisto Protocol’s new and aptly named gore engine to the test. “ It’s become our signature now,” said James, “ We have a signature death at the end of every trailer.
Fans following Callisto Protocol may have noticed that almost every trailer showcases a brutal end to Jacob Lee, and for good reason. In a recent interview with IGN, developer Mark James confirmed that one of Callisto Protocol’s achievements is to suffer every gruesome fate that can befall protagonist Jacob Lee.
