The attack on Epic's Bulletstorm by Fox News has been getting plenty of press, but what you may not know is that Fox selectively chose the statements from interviews that would paint the game in the worst possible light. For example, M2 Research's Billy Pidgeon's comments were heavily edited and curtailed to the point where it looked like he was criticizing the title. And worse yet, Fox had a perfectly good interview with TechSavvy's Scott Steinberg, who provided quite thoughtful and rational answers... too rational for Fox's tastes it would seem.
Steinberg sent over the complete Q&A he had with Fox, which didn't use one word of it. See below
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.
"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.
Hahaha i actually just dropped a review of this game on my channel! I hit all the story beats for anybody too lazy to install it and play through it

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.
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.
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.
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.
GF365: "Here are eight games that need sequels. These games are ones that players would love to experience another time, bigger and better."
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.
Wow, that's crazy, but then again this is Fox we're talking about so I guess it's not all that surprising. I feel like most of the mainstream media is starting to be more fair with games but Fox is dragging them down.
lol who takes fox news seriously.
well what do you expect, they are looking for a sensationalized story on the "evil game" Bulletstorm. A logical argument that shows the baseless accusations and references other media outlets that do the same if not worse on top of the fact a "big M" on the box makes most of the point moot would not make the piece as damning would it?
Who needs fact and logical truths when you have fear and ignorance.
Never let the truth get it the way of a good news story. ;)
you know they may get annoying with them and there games are the devil line of thinking but this is bulletstorm game isn't that great to begin with......they still have the one point i gave them for trolling call of duty tho otherwise they can just shut up with there paid actors claiming about made but video game horrors
