Why Bullestorm and Duke Nukem Forever are the most important FPS games of 2011

Forget Crysis 2, Killzone 3 and Call Of Duty, James Bowden reckons these two games will be just the shot in the kevlar-coated arm that the FPS genre needs.

I will be honest. I stopped reading after "FORGET CRYSIS 2 AND KILLZONE 3". How the heck do you expect me to forget Killzone 3? It's all that I can think of ATM!!

SeanScythe4825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

I quit reading after "Why Bullestorm and Duke Nukem Forever are the most important FPS games of 2011" I'm sorry Bulletstorm wasn't even fun for the time I played the demo once. DN4E will be way better the BS. KZ3 will be top for awhile then Crysis.

@meetajhu

Rage hasn't proved anything yet sure it may be best PC (maybe) but as far as consoles go it hasn't shown any real gameplay. I could say samething with Battlefield 3 being the best FPS but still no one knows anything about it really yet.

meetajhu4825d ago

Who cares Rage will destroy everything

NnT32914825d ago

lol there is a 10 minutes demo video on Youtube and you still said it hasnt shown any real gameplay.

@SeanScythe YOU FAIL!!!

I also didn't bother reading past the title. KZ3 FTW!

sprayNpray4825d ago

Rage looks like what borderlands originally was supposed to look like before they randomly cartoonified it. (look back at the game informer issue with borderland on the cover to see what it used to look like)

Focker4204825d ago

@sprayNpray

Yep I remember that. I thought it looked incredible and then they f*cked it up with the cell-shading. It actually put me off buying it until it hit the bargain bin.

Rage hasn't shown me anything thats different. It may be pretty but the explosions and number of on-screen enemies is laughable.

"Why Bullestorm and Duke Nukem Forever are the most important FPS games of 2011"

How can anyone say that when the only developer trying to push the boundaries of technology and actually create something new is DICE with BF3? Even Rage and Crysis 2 look a helluva lot better than the 2 console arcade games mentioned in the title. BS article, don't give this BS website any hits.

Dalagonash4824d ago

@Kazu0 Hirai

In all honesty, how is DICE innovating with BF3? It will be brilliant fun, undoubtedly, and easily the best multiplayer FPS for many years to come, but at the end of the day it's more or less BF2 with an upgraded Frostbite engine, it's brilliant but it's ultimately iteration and nothing really 'new'.

Also have to say I'm surprised you're slamming Duke as an 'arcade console shooter' when it's likely the PC crowd that will accept him most and continue to mod the experience for years to come, assuming it's half way as good as 3D.

Polygon counts and engine improvements do not equal innovation.

That's on PC not console.

NnT32914825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

that's on xbox 360, watch again. And the gameplays on PC and consoles are the same, whats your point?

SeanScythe4824d ago

Yeah and we have seen before a game that's said it's on 360 being played but never see the console or the pc's running behind the curtins.

Chaostar4825d ago (Edited 4825d ago )

Has anyone even played Duke Nukem yet? I haven't seen any gameplay, did I miss it? Not sure how anyone can say that one game is much better than another when they haven't played either or have just played demos. Just bad journalism right there.

Actually scratch that, it's clever journalism, play on the popularity of 3 big FPS games by saying another two games that haven't been released yet will be better and the fans will be raged into clicking their site for a hit. Actually scratch that too, it's not clever to waste peoples time and cause fanboy forum wars.

Still everyones entitled to an opinion, even if it is half-baked and premature.

nick_gamestribe4825d ago

I didn't write this piece, just submitted it, but I agree with the sentiment of the article. It's not saying that the likes of Killzone 3 are poor games - far from it - just that in this current era of hyper-realistic, po-faced shooters, Duke Nuke and Bulletstorm offer something refreshing.

I don't believe it's trying to create 'forum wars'. More healthy debate, hopefully...

nick_gamestribe4825d ago

Not that KZ3 is, er, hyper-realistic. You know what I meant, right...

Cajun Chicken4825d ago

Yep. I hope these bring the FPS back kicking and screaming again and most importantly, fun.

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.

closed_account312d ago

"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂

I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.

closed_account311d ago

Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

Bulletstorm - A Cult Classic Worthy of Revival?

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.

IMissJimRyan320d ago

Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.

But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.

So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.

SullysCigar320d ago

It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!

IMissJimRyan320d ago

Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.

Abnor_Mal320d ago (Edited 320d ago )

Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.

But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.

Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.

Venoxn4g320d ago

I loved the game back in the day and will love in VR even more!

Yui_Suzumiya320d ago (Edited 320d ago )

I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.

FinalFantasyFanatic319d ago

I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot355d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
