Brighthub: Today’s video game market is flooded with plenty of first-person shooters. Thus, a new franchise would have to be doing something unique in order to stand out from the rest of the pack. Here are five reasons why Bulletstorm is different, in a good way, from the other games in the same genre.

Having a leash and the ability to kick does not make it different. It's just a big-budget arcade shooter. Based off of the demo it isn't worth any more than a rental/use-game price. For me at least. I also don't really understand the fascination over horde type game types. I find them really boring, but again, this is strictly my opinion.

Although i must admit, it looks and runs pretty good on the ps3 for an unreal engine game! I was surprised when i tried out the demo. Anyhow, im gonna wait til it drops in the $30 range;-)

bobrea4816d ago

Yea, it was definitely smooth. I played the demo on my PS3 and 360 and really didn't notice a difference, but I'm all about gameplay, graphics are secondary.

mantasis4816d ago

Based off the demo, this is not a half assed game. But am I going to buy it? No. I assume if there's a Bulletstorm 2, they'll drop the arcade points system and make the game more appealing to a broader audience.

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.

"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.

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.

IMissJimRyan322d 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.

SullysCigar322d 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!

IMissJimRyan322d ago

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

Abnor_Mal322d ago (Edited 322d 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.

Venoxn4g321d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya321d ago (Edited 321d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic321d 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.

gleepot357d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
