Dead Space creator who founded Callisto Protocol studio leaves

Man what a bummer this whole saga ended up being. I remember how excited we all were when we found out the creator of Dead Space was working on a spiritual successor to it.

 

Game was so underwhelming though. Easily in the top 3 most disappointing games i've played this gen.

It was underwhelming but there was a good foundation there to build off of.  Wish it would have done well enough to get a sequel.

 

And this is the problem with AAA gaming today...  You miss the mark once and you and/or your studio are done.  The game still sold over 2 million, but it wasn't enough... it needed to sell 5M... come the fuck on..  If you need your game to sell 5M copies and it's a new IP... you're taking extraordinary risk.  Especially with a horror game..

Anyone who budgets a new IP around 5 million sales deserves to fail imo.
