An extended trailer and all-new gameplay for The Calisto Protocol have just been revealed at Summer Game Fest. Two sequences were taken from an early part of the game. The first showed protagonist Jason Lee walking through a medbay and watching holograms of patients going feral and attacking doctors.
The second showed Lee a little further in the game, in a suit very similar to Dead Space Isaac's RIG. It also showed off a gravity weapon called the Grip that can be used to pull and push enemies, often into deadly environmental hazards like fans.

Lee gets backed into a corner by a group of enemies and doesn't notice the flickering and whoosing to his right.
