Bulletstorm Devs moving onto Bulletstorm 2?

If Markus Hammarstedt's CV is to be believed then the sequel is already in production. Post his work on Bulletstom, he is working on an unannounced multiplatform project for Epic Games.

Hope so. It might not have done well in sales, but it was a decent enough game for me to want a sequel ;)

For some reason I could not get into it. Enjoyed Borderlands 10 times more.

One game that really did get over look was Metro 2033 - played this game last night and I was expecting another FPS but the game amazed me and I could not put down the controller.

I am glad that its getting a sequel and hope THQ market this game more.

[Kran]

I think its because Metro 2033 was a lot different to your average FPS. When Homefront was announced, people thought it would change the FPS genre... it didnt. It was just another FPS.

When Metro 2033 was released, it changed FPS because it did what other FPS dare not to do. Ammo was scarce (unlike most FPS where you tend to have unlimited...) and you always had to check your surroundings, something you never do in average FPS. It was also about survival; you had to keep checking your gas mask which added a massive challenge, which just added that extra bar.

I too cannot wait for Metro Last Light and I may just get it on the PC because the graphics... look stunning. I think they're on par with Battlefield 3 on PC.

[Micro_Sony]

Agreed. When I played this game I could not help but think how basic Call of Duty is compared to Metro in game play and story. I could go on and on about this game but I would need a blog for that.

One thing I will say is that no other game has touched me emotionally like how Merto did. The kids playing in the Metro were perfect and it really made me think how much we take life for granted.

As much as I like the game I hope they change and add few things like:

The way you choose your weapon - some times it would take me a long time to go from knife to shot gun.

Add some RPG elements because this game has the right setting for that.

The gas mass is a nice idea but I really wanted to explore the world when I went top side but had little time to do so.

The breathing noise in the mask got a little annoying after awhile.

The only thing I want from Bulletstorm 2 is more precise hit boxes on enemies. It was a fun game and I really enjoyed it but have to qualify my statement with I didn't pay for the game. I borrowed it from my brother and beat it on normal. It only took about 6-8 hours. I'd prefer co-op in single player campaign.

[MaxXAttaxX]

Are they actually gonna make it more fun, challenging and less repetitive this time?

[otherZinc]

Bullet Storm sold good on the 360, it sold poorly on the PS3, however, no surprise there.

I hope Bullet Storm 2 has campaign co-op. If Gears 3 can have 4 player co-op, Bullet Storm should at least have 2 player co-op.

It was a very good game, however, the PS3 community kept hating on the game.

Glad Bullet Storm 2 is on the way.

[chasedagreat]

bullet storm was trash.
the only reason it sold better is because of the gears 3 beta bottom.if it smell sh!t then it is sh!t

[mcstorm]

otherZinc I agree with you I enjoyed Bullet storm but sales were affected because it was more or less a SP game. If they can make a MP in BS2 I see sales picking up. For me BS was a nice change to the FPS games and I enjoyed it. If they are working on a BS2 ill defo be picking it up.

[paintsville]

This was an awesome game for 360. I can't wait for Bulletstorm 2. Unreal Engine rules.

[Cajun Chicken]

Awesome news. Really hope it is, loved Bulletstorm.

[InNomeDiDio]

ME too! Completed it on very hard 2 times and it was a hell of Fun. I really want Bulletstorm 2.

[Raven_Nomad]

I hope so, they clearly leave the game open for a sequel. Shame these new ip's aren't selling better or turning a profit. People here at N4G are always complaining that we need new IP's but then they don't buy them. BulletStorm was one of the freshest and interesting IP's to release in a long, long time. Guess like everything else, N4G is the minority in opinion.

[Tyre]

Excellent news! Completed it on hard twice, Fun! Looking forward to it, kick #$$ Di(I< T/t$!

[slavish]

I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into a 360 exclusive. Sold like 3x better on 360. M$ needs all the help it can against sonys strong line.

[MrBeatdown]

The better 360 sales probably had more to do with the fact that the 360 version was the obvious choice for multiplatform owners, considering it came with Gears 3 beta access. Epic probably has a lot more name recognition among 360 fans as well.

I'd bet Insomniac's multiplatform game would sell better on PS3 simply for the fact that there are more Insomniac fans on PS3 than 360.

[Venjense]

Bulletstorm was the worst game I've played in years and I play a lot of games.

The gameplay was so boring an repetitive, it actually required less skill than many other shooters.

[Micro_Sony]

Bubbles - I thought it was just me but the dam game was too easy.

Kick here leash here slow - the AI were dumb and just stood in one place waiting on your boot.
