Bulletstorm “most successful new IP” of its launch year

Bulletstorm is considered a flop, but People Can Fly has claimed it was the most successful new property in its launch year.

LOVE this game! I wish they'd make a sequel for it :(

hay3901d ago

Yup, easily top 5 this gen for me.

Horde Mode was MISSING!

However, very good game, beat all levels on Insane Mode, including the Declassified Missions. But, the omission of Horde Mode stopped GJ from being great with great replay value that's found in other Gears games.

I could've sworn Epic said otherwise. This remind me of Crystal Dynamics how they said their games was successful then SE went on and said the game failed to meet its sale expectation.

Murad3902d ago

Dude, SE thinks everything that can't beat Final Fantasy sales are a failure. I mean look at Tomb Raider. It was well done in all aspects but they said it was a failure as well.

Skate-AK3902d ago

Haha. That's exactly what he said. Crystal Dynamics developed Tomb Raider.

Murad3901d ago

@Skate-AK
Ya I just noticed that as well.I actually didn't know the company that made Tomb Raider.

This game was great. If you haven't done so yet, try it.

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_account307d 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.

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.

IMissJimRyan315d 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.

SullysCigar315d 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!

IMissJimRyan315d ago

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

Abnor_Mal314d ago (Edited 314d 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.

Venoxn4g314d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya314d ago (Edited 314d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic314d 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.

gleepot350d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
