bullshit like RE8 Village of Shadows or RE3R Inferno difficulty

Village Of Shadows difficulty is absolutely broken.

Inferno is ok, but when the final boss combo just one-shots you - well, fuck it, I had to dodge million times during the fight, is it a Dark Souls game or Resident Evil? lol

all the devs do is just increase enemy damage and health and lower yours. It gets tedious having to shoot a normal enemy a billion times to kill it.

Yeah, all these difficulties just make no sense, more boring, than actually interesting

I'm not sure what you're really addressing here. In my opinion, the Dead Space games were more than forgiving, even on the highest difficulty, as you could take a few hits from even the most lethal enemies.

 

For a game of this type to be actually scary, you need to dread every step you take despite being heavily armed. As such, whatever you encounter needs to have a certain respect tied to it and while individually easy to deal with in theory, if left alone for even a second or two, might very well make short work of you.

 

One of my absolute best gaming experiences is in Dead Space 2 on Zealot difficulty playing blind. It was a blast and I'll never forget that ride until the day I die.

 

If The Callisto Protocol can topple that, the wait will be more than worth it. Sadly, the way I see it, most games on lower difficulties simply make you lose all respect for what you're encountering and with that, immersion and atmosphere goes out the window as well.

 

That's the very opposite of what I'm looking for when playing games such as this.

Not everyone wants a participation medal after playing a game, some people prefer to earn their platinum trophies.

As do I, I just don’t torture myself for them.

I'm inclined to agree, although from memory the highest difficulty of DS1 and DS2 (Non-hard core mode) really did dramatically reduce the amount of ammo you could find in environment. However, since TCP has a higher emphasis melee that might not be such a problem.

Soooo…early players, how hard is maximum security ? ?

How much is season pass? 
Season pass include in collectors edition?

[W0ndrful101]

Plot twist: All death animations trophy is tied to the highest difficulty trophy, because it's so hard, you for sure are seeing all of them! /s

[Don_Chipotle]

Its gonna be interesting how hard the game is gonna be, i bet somewhat like the evil within

[PSY-THUNDER]

Considering (on psnp latest players) nobody finished on maximum difficulty (including power pyx) for sure it is 7/8-10.

Agreed, was probably a 6.5-7/10 for me, but I hated the camera control and couldn't get over it. Probably would have been a 5 otherwise.

 

Completely welcome a 9-10/10 experience for Callisto, bring the pain.

Someone already did Max difficulty. Day after finishing game on other diff. So either game is very short or there is NG+ and you can just breeze through it. 

[BrandedBerserk]

Im thinking its just a traditional hard mode where you have less ammo and enemies deal more damage.

I like a challenge but I hope this won't be that kind of challenging where I question my existence.

?It looks like it's gonna be. It's going to have me curled up and crying in the shower like Ace Ventura in the 'Finkle is a man/crying game scene'

[SilverWolf1268]

I'm really hoping there's more than 3 weapons.

Get the impression this may be tricky but pretty doable, or at least not save restricted.

 

I believe SnowNinjaRaccoon works with PowerPyx as one of the main writers, and they got the Platinum in 1 day 2 hours (the first on here). More importantly, looks like they did Max Security as their first run, as they got that trophy at the precise same time as complete the game on any difficulty.

 

I'm reading between the lines A LOT here as they're very skilled. However, being a guide maker, you would think they would blitz through the game first on an easier difficulty if the difficulty was becoming so hard that it significantly slowed progress on recording collectibles and/or missables. The fact they didn't indicates to me it wasn't so punishing that it prevented that.

 

Nothing concrete, at all, but my gut feeling is this will be a 6-7/10, not a 9-10/10.

Same. Permadeath is coming as post-launch content, so doubt it's that. Save conditions are possible, I suppose, but my gut feeling is that it's just a traditional hardest mode.

Nope. Just hidden the game so people stop messaging me on psn about something I can't talk about.

The Callisto Protocol Trophy Guide & Roadmap

https://www.powerpyx.com/the-callisto-protocol-trophy-guide-roadmap/

 

Quote

The highest difficulty “Maximum Security” is available from the beginning. You have infinite lives. If you die you respawn at the nearest checkpoint. There’s a checkpoint every few minutes and before every big enemy encounter. Compared to Easy difficulty, the enemies have about twice as much health and deal about twice as much damage. The number of item drops (ammo/health) is unaffected by the difficulty.

 

 

[SnakeSound222]

I didn't look at the guide for fear of spoilers but according to a Reddit comment from someone who read the guide, you can enable all accessibility settings on Maximum Security and still get the trophy. That's including settings like auto-dodge, melee assist, QTE auto-complete, and auto-aim. If that's true then this sounds like it could be a really easy platinum.
