Epic Games: Bulletstorm Will Perform The Same On PC And Console, This Is Great News

PC always had the upper hand in performance simply because of being upgradeable during a consoles fixed system cycle. Bulletstorm is here and ready to utilize the consoles even deeper than normal to match the PC versions quality.

Bulletstorm running at this years EA event was at maximum settings, yet still the look of the game is confirmed on PC was confirmed to be the same for consoles next year when it’s released.

Since this is the case what more can these consoles do and what the next generation has to bring us

Check Out The Interview Below You Don’t Want To Miss It The Game Is Incredible

[TrevorPhillips]

Cannot wait for this game, graphics look amazingg :D

And btw we don't want any hate or racial slurs in here alright, thank you.

[deadreckoning666]

LOL, he said nigga in yesterday's KZ3 interview. Still a great interview even though campaign co-op wasn't really talked about from what I remember. Btw, this vid is actually a clip from last week's HHG show, so its technically a duplicate.

"Dont see what console owners could remotely win having the Pc version dumbed down. It doesnt make sense."

Yep that true. No one benefits really. And now that you bring that up, I think about times in which HHG has said that although its good that multiplatform games perform equally across the board, I distinctly remember him saying that he would like to see multiplatform developers take advantage of what the PS3 can do.

He wants to see developers take advantage of what the PS3 can do...yet says its "great news" when Epic decides not to take advantage of what the PS3 OR PC can do. Hmmmmm...

[TheGameFoxJTV]

He's a moron.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

I thought that HHG being a moron was a given!

[Conloles]

Lol it might perform the same but it sure as shit won't look the same.

[badz149]

HHG, you've spinning too much lately you hit your head to the wall or something? this is NOT good news at all! that's the slap in the face for PC gamers!

[Pandamobile]

Good news for console gamers, not really so much for PC gamers. Another simple console shooter :(

[raztad]

Actually is not good news for anybody. Dont see what console owners could remotely win having the Pc version dumbed down. It doesnt make sense.

EDIT:

I think HHG is actually wrong regarding the whole PC=console version stuff. Game looks amazing on PC but as expected will be dumbed down for consoles. PC=console sounds a lot like PR stuff.

[waterboy]

since those are the "consoles" your referring to

[Nihilism]

+ bubbles raztad. Thankyou for not dissing PC like so many others. I agree 100%, neither platform gains by being 100% the same. Just look at Dragon Age on PS3....30frames constant. 360 version....20-30 frames.

I've seen many multiplats that truly make use of each platforms specs, and I hope this game is the same.

[multipayer]

Unreal tournament 3 ran at a different speed on consoles(like moving slower), maybe thats what they mean... Regardless, I'll take the 1080p PC version with 60fps and will try to act like it's not better.

[Pandamobile]

Yeah I remember hearing about that and laughing. They actually had to slow down the movement speed of the players in Unreal Tournament 3 on the PS3 and 360 because of the QC testers couldn't hit shit-all with the controllers.

[NYC_Gamer]

i'm not hyped for this game...it just took alot of UT gameplay and ran

[TheGameFoxJTV]

UT was awesome though.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

From what I saw in the trailer for this game is another corridor shooter without the walls. Every time you play it leads down the same path. I am getting sick of games that lack the wide open battles. BFBC2 went to that crap after the wide open single player campaign in the first BFBC. A step backwards because kids can't figure out objectives.

[dizzleK]

good point, that's why i've cooled on fps'. i want tactical freedom yet all we get is doom with fancier graphics/physics.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Exactly. I remember when games struggled to get to open freedom in FPS games. Now it all is snapping back to corridor shooting game play.

[KingKiff]

A round of COD anyone?

take your pick which one.

[GaMe01]

Good news

However I'm still on the fence about this game

[squallheart]

just wondering why is this in the ps3 section o.o if the game is for 360 and pc? oh well the thing i like about the game is power moves.

[squallheart]

wait is it coming for ps3? i dont watch hhgamer since i get annoyed o.o

[OrganicMachine]

wait so the games perform the same on all platforms? I wonder how much stuff they gimped on the PC version..

[Proxy]

Do you really expect that 800$ graphics card with 2 gigs of dedicated ram (with an extra 8 gigs of system ram) to outperform a PS3?

[waterboy]

but not with the whole package that ps3 has

[gunnerforlife]

hows that great news :/ that jst means there holding bak on the pc version

[Geralt]

We'll still have higher resolutions, forced AA and AF. They may cap the framerate though. If this is running on UE3 (is it?) then it shouldn't be too hard to uncap the framerate.

[Geralt]

Of course it is... Epic Games. <.<

[STONEY4]

"Since this is the case what more can these consoles do and what the next generation has to bring us"

No, it just proves that the game is being held back by consoles. I highly doubt that they look exactly the same, this is Epic Games (who as far as the Unreal Tournament series goes, really supports the PC), and I know that UT3 looked and played (more suitable game speed, I'm not talking about KB/M since the PS3 version supports it too) alot better on PC than the console counterpart.

But Hiphopgamer is the last person I would ever trust when it comes to PC things. I haven't seen the video, but if it's a PR guy saying this, then it's the usual PR bs. If it's HHG, he's officially blind.

[Baltis]

Stock answer. They always say things like this (meaning Developers) and then it always ends up

PC - Best
xbox 360 - 2nd best
Ps3 - At least it runs, right?

Comments from Developers, like these, hold no water with me.

[callahan09]

I dunno, your comment gives me the following visualization:

PC > 360 >>>>>>> PS3

Whereas the reality is usually more like:

PC >>>>>>> 360 > PS3

[KingKiff]

PC >>>>> PS3 >>>>>>> Wii >>>>>>> >> 360

[multips3fan]

im buying it for the ps3 version :] day 1

[karlowma]

Yay, another DirectX 9.0 PC game.

Looks awesome anyway, but I hate PC games being so gimped by multiplatform intentions.

[Pandamobile]

Well, Unreal 3 supports DirectX 10 in some cases. It usually just means you can enable anti-aliasing with the deferred shader engine (there's a DX10 mode for UT3 and GOW)

[Nihilism]

DX versions are fairly irrelevant. Besides DX10 lighting....I have seen very few examples of DX10 or 11 being significantly better looking. The DX11 shadows in BFBC2 are no better than the shadows in other DX10 games. It's like car gears, the gear ratio is just lowered on BFBC2 so 1st second and 3rd gear ( low medium and high shadows ) are all set lower, the only one that is set higher is the DX11 shadows...and that is only because they gimped the other 3 settings so they can claim it to be a DX11 game...because that is the only DX11 feature it had. No tesselation, no multithreading enhancements...just A DX10 game with very high shadows under DX11 for e-peen sake.

Mirrors Edge is DX9 only and that game is mind blowing on PC.

At least bulletsotrm should run good... :\

[ATi_Elite]

OH WOW another DX9 Bioshock / Modern Warfare 2 clone console port.

As a PC gamer this benefits me how?

OH now I remember this is a STEAM $3.99 weekend special purchase.

[kevnb]

it just so happens that it will work on console, and it will be great on pc just like previous People Can Fly developed games.

[waterboy]

im still trying to see how ps3 is holding pc back or dumbing anything pc down, thats like saying putting on running shoes on is holding back someone that runs slower wearing boots atleast visually

[Alcohog]

Cliff's Notes: The PC version is gimped.

[kevnb]

it will run at 60fps on console.

[BBAM]

that's the whole point of PC gaming... no matter what, the game will not run the same across PCs because people have different capabilities...
So all they can do is make the PC version run worse so the max settings are equal to consoles... which is either lazy or just plain dumb.

[kevnb]

I bet he means that its at 60 fps on console.

[J-Smith]

looks boring

[Spenok]

Thats always good news i guess.
