Bulletstorm review - 4/5 in Empire

The first Bulletstorm review has appeared online and it's a 4/5 from Empire.

The movie mag boldly calls Epic's new IP "the most innovative first-person shooter in years," praising its "addictive" skillshot system and "instantly endearing" arsenal of weapons.

"the most innovative first-person shooter in years"...

Really? Sounds like they don't play many games.

Daz4803d ago

Well it is diffrent then alot of shooters. But the most innovative game in years i dont think it is.
Each of there own.

BeaArthur4803d ago (Edited 4803d ago )

Just out of curiosity what would you call the most innovative shooter in the last few years?

FailOverHero4803d ago

I suppose you know this because you've played the full game? No of course not. But I'm sure if he'd said Killzone 3 you'd agree even though you haven't played the whole thing yet.

Heavy_Rain4803d ago

Yet you are quick to question a websites credibility and OPM's credibility whenever KZ gets a very high score as if you have played the whole game. Did anyone mention KZ in the comments above. Its your insecurity that made you comment about KZ in a bulletstorm article. Seriously I think you should put yourself out of your misery and get a ps3. I am sure you can earn a few bucks instead of trolling and get another console.
On Topic - Good score. Didnt think to much of the demo but maybe the game is much better then what was represented in the demo. Will try it def sometime

GrieverSoul4803d ago

lol. Heavy_Rain just pawned FailOverHero.

On topic, this is a review from a film mag?! How much credibility does that deserve?!?!

ChristianGamer4803d ago

Heavy Rain, I remember Fail's questioning of OPM and he admitted his mistake in that very thread. I don't remember any other time he has spoken against any high killzone 3 review. You're welcome to prove me wrong

Achemki4803d ago (Edited 4803d ago )

Played it already. It really isn't that innovative at all imo.

Bionic Commando arm.
Stranglehold/Heavenly Sword/Max Payne sniper bullet cam'.
Dante's Inferno big dino-demon helper.
No jump button.
Typical weapons (Carbine/pistol/grenade launcher) and explosive barrels.
Repetitive closed arena battles.
Enemies say the same thing over and over and over again ("suffer...suffer").
Skill point kills are completely un-needed to progress. You can play it straight COD style.
Same ol' Unreal engine with a healthy dose of jaggies.

So yeah. No. Why make fun of dramatic red screen damage and health regen' in "Duty Calls" when your game has...the same red screen damage and health regen', lol?

I hope this game surprises me and turns out to be great. I love FPS games, but I'm feeling a bit fatigued with them lately. I was excited about Killzone 3 until the demo and Beta, which made the game seem routine (and dumbed down, but whatever). Still, I found the Bulletstorm demo to be shallow and repetitive. Here's to hoping I was wrong about that game.

byeGollum4803d ago

4/5 I guess they were being generous, I expected less (based on the demo).

Flashwave_UK4803d ago

wow this game is full of fail there only gonna praise it for the scummy points

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_account304d 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_account302d 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.

IMissJimRyan311d 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.

SullysCigar311d 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!

IMissJimRyan311d ago

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

Abnor_Mal311d ago (Edited 311d 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.

Venoxn4g311d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya311d ago (Edited 311d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic310d 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.

gleepot346d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
