Hardcore Mode
A challenging take on The Callisto Protocol’s survival-horror experience, intended to push you to your limits, Hardcore mode is not for the faint of heart. Here’s what you can expect;
- Ammo, health and credits are harder to come by and not every Biophage will drop loot.
- Increased enemy damage
- Decreased Stun Baton damage
- Increased enemy mutation speed
- Contraband value is reduced
- Hardcore Mode New Game+ (requires completion of standard Hardcore Mode playthrough)
- New Achievements / Trophies to hunt
Global
- Players that were not correctly granted the “The Protocol is About Life” achievement upon completing the game will be automatically granted the achievement
- Localization fixes for leveling and VO/subtitle mismatches
- Optimized enemy combat AI when player is surrounded by multiple enemies
Steam Deck
- Updated font rendering and UI elements for readability
- Created a rendering functionality profile specifically for Steam Deck with the best settings for smooth gameplay
- Updated control schemes for SteamDeck controls
PC Specific
- Ray tracing performance improvements
But still no fix for the washed out blacks/gamma issue? It looks awful, especially because this game has potential to look incredible IF they fix this issue. So many people have this issue with this game in HDR mode – among other things (combat, not enough exploration, mediocre story etc……
This game could have been so great.
They can get it right in Dead Space remake where blacks are TRULY black..
Striking Distance……….. – PLEASE fix this issue 🙏
Hey brother I followed a guide on how to tune your TV and Callisto looks incredible I know you shouldn’t really have to do that but honestly it makes all your games look even better! I can send screenshots if you wanna see how dark my Callisto protocol is.
