Having faced difficulties getting Dead Space off the ground, Glen Schofield is now seeing it get the big budget remake treatment at EA. 'It's very strange...'
Glen Schofield is feeling relaxed. It’s been, you sense, a whirlwind few weeks for the Dead Space creator, his new team having finally put out the first glimpse at its stylish, slick andgory space horror Calisto Protocol at Geoff Keighley’s Summer Games Fest - a reveal that marks a significant milestone in a project spun up some three years ago alongside new studio Striking Distance.
As to the genesis of the The Callisto Protocol, it's something that came as Schofield was taking a break from his previous studio Sledgehammer, where he'd overseen the likes of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and WW2."Activision, nicely, was paying me but I took a year off. It's time to say thank you and relax from here. So I took a month off! I went down to Tucson to a spa - I’d done that after a couple of games, I take like 10 days by myself to go relax.
PUBG Corp was the suitor - an unlikely one, it seemed to many outsiders like myself, and eyebrows were certainly raised when it initially emerged that The Callisto Protocol would somehow be taking place in the same universe, though that plan quietly went away through the course of development.
It's an interesting insight, especially in light of how Dead Space's influence can now be felt so keenly, through The Callisto Protocol itself, the recently announced Fort Solis and - how could we forget - the Dead Space remake that's launching a mere month after Schofield's new project. It must be a strange sensation, I suggest, seeing his baby in another company's hands.
The ubiquity of a style of game Schofield pretty much invented must also feel a little strange - though I wonder if he's flattered by how all these years after fighting to get the original Dead Space off the ground spacebound survival horror seems to be everywhere.
