Bulletstorm Is...Not Really Doing It For Me...

RespawnAction says in the first paragraph, "You ever see something, whether it be a game, movie, new gadget, or whatever it was that sounded good on paper but ultimately ended up leaving you saying, "meh"? That's exactly how I feel on the upcoming game Bulletstorm. The premise is simple: you're stranded on a strange planet and the world is your sandbox of destruction. How does that not sound awesome? The problem is, the actual gameplay footage thus far is leaving me with a huge feeling of want, and even worse, change."

and I like the concept of Bulletstorm, but I do agree with his opinion on the dialogue in the game.

Nike5199d ago

Agreed. Any one who saw Bulletstorm and could only muster a "meh" just doesn't like having fun. And though the dialogue is bad, it's cheesy enough to fit the entire grindhouse feel of the game and it's violence.

wicko5199d ago

Yeah the game looks really fun but the dialog is so cringe-worthy. Maybe they'll have a dedicated voices volume so you can mute it :p

Active Reload5199d ago (Edited 5199d ago )

Yeah, first off he didn't play the game, he watched it. Second, he says what he sees isn't worth $60. WTF!! The game has 3 things going for it. One of those things is the online multiplayer...yeah. The other thing is obviously, you, being able to partake in "play with your food" type of game play going on here, used to rack up your points to add to your score, which can be done all the while ignoring my next little thing the game has. And that would be the story, campaign...whatever you want to call it.

Christopher5199d ago

I'm not even near interested in Bulletstorm. The type of fun you guys are looking for just isn't the type of fun I'm interested in.

Chris3995199d ago

I'm not trying to be snarky merely for the point ofbeing so, but even the name reeks of "generic FPS #999".

We're in for a market crash unless consumers start diversifying their tastes.

FragGen5199d ago (Edited 5199d ago )

+1. This game has "Bargain Bin" written all over it. Cliff's going to feel like a retard for greenlighting it after it tanks. Too many phenomenal shooters are slated to be on the market when this thing hits for it to compete unless it improves way beyond what I'm seeing here.

This is one of those titles you pick up for $29.99 within 6 months after it debuts day one for $59.99. Not all games can be worth $60, IMHO.

hassi945198d ago

The whole kick grapple gimmick isn't really working for me... I don't see the novelty.

FragGen5199d ago

Those melee attacks are going to be really hard to balance correctly in multiplayer mode. Especially for the company who couldn't even balance their own flagship game's MP on the first cut (Gears 2).

TooTall195198d ago

Unreal Tournament? And how is Gears 2 their first cut at MP? Bulletstorm is a big budget game that will do a ton of advertising. Bodycount is more likely to tank. After watching the Cliff walkthrough on ign yesterday I was sold.

Active Reload5198d ago

Yeah Tootall, Frag couldn't really be serious and if so....well...never mind lol.

EVILDEAD3605199d ago (Edited 5198d ago )

Game looks like an F-ing blast..

In the wake of EVERY other dev and their mother trying to cash in on the 'Modern' FPS money..

BulletStorm is a breath of fresh air..

This game has FRANCHISE all over it..let the haters and teeny tiny fan blogger sites who need hits sit on the sidelines while the gamers play the crap out this title when it drops..believe me they won't be missed

I salute Cliffy B and the Epic boys and now the Peeps can fly team for continually bringing out these experiences..

Epic's Buletstorm + Gears of War 3 in 2011 FTW!

Still crossing fingers for the Shadow Complex sequel...

i swear to god i keep getting this confused with bodycount. change these generic ass titles.

SOAD5199d ago

call of duty
counterstrike
resistance
battlefield
medal of honour
killzone

all generic military names.

Downtown boogey5199d ago

Counter-Strike is really a different deal...

DARK WITNESS5199d ago

I keep thinking of some old 80's retro game...

side scrolling action with two blocks jumping up and down, firing lots of little blocks at the big bad blue blocks ( they were aliens ).

GiggMan5199d ago

I'm with you on that one. I can't get passed the generic/unimaginative name.

Bulletstorm sounds like a PSN/XBL title.

alphakennybody5199d ago

since the e3 gameplay showing, I really can't see anything special to it. I can't help but to think its just another generic shooter.

sikbeta5199d ago

Well, that's what happen generally when there is an Oversaturation of the same stuff, like now with FPS Games...

Nihilism5198d ago

Since the E3 showing I bumped Brink off my list and put Bulleststorm at the top.

Convas5199d ago

This is the same way I felt about Red Dead Redemption. But Bulletstorm looks AWESOME in my opinion and I'll be most definitely picking it up.

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_account464d 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.

closed_account462d ago

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.

IMissJimRyan472d 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.

SullysCigar472d 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!

IMissJimRyan472d ago

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

Abnor_Mal472d ago (Edited 472d 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.

Venoxn4g472d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya472d ago (Edited 472d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic471d 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.

gleepot507d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
