BY BRENDEN SHEA: The first-person shooter has been a staple of the gamer diet since the early days of Doom and its Wolfenstein predecessors. Over the years, it has seen more than its fair share of excellent entries. From Quake, to Half-life, to Halo and beyond, shooters and their frenetic energy have kept people coming back for more. Now, shooters are more refined than ever before, but in recent years we’ve had some decidedly old-school bashers come along and revive the older style of games like Quake, not the least of which is the most recent Doom.
But there’s another game that had a similar style of frantic, knee-jerk shooter reaction, and that was Bulletstorm. Now, with the release of the Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition on PlayStation 4, it was time for me to go back and revisit this old, oft-forgotten classic. And boy, is it a classic.
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.
Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

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.
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!
Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.
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.
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.
Ah, Bulletstorm. The only game I have ever heard the word 'cocksucker' in, which was during a cutscene in the first 30 minutes or so. The gameplay was pretty fun, but the dialogue must have been written by a bunch of pre-teens who think swearing like a sailor is 'hip' and 'edgy'.
Majin - That's what I said *caugh*
I played it when it originally released and it was garbage, played the remaster and it's still awful. So no.
I think a lot of people played it,.. It was actually free with PS plus,.. Game is OK,.. some Serious Sam vibes,.. but nothing really special.
