People Can Fly's New FPS, Is It Any Good?

The answer: Yes. In a lot of ways this is a good game. Bulletstorm is not a normal FPS. It is whacky, vibrant, bloody, and sometimes silly.

Story: The game takes place in the 26th century where the main character, Grayson Hunt used to be part of a black ops type squad called Dead Echo. The squad then went AWOL after they found out that the so called mass-murders and drug lords their were killing were actually innocent people. Some years later Grayson and his squad attack the general's spaceship but later fail and fall to the planet Stygia. That's where the game really gets good.

Gameplay: The best part of Bulletstorm. There is a variety of weapons including a revolver, machine gun, shotgun and grenade launcher. With each of the 6 or so weapons you can perform a large amount of skillshots. Skillshots reward you nicely with points that you can use to upgrade your weapons. By using your leash and slide kick you will be able to perform some massive combo's that are very satisfying.

Graphics: The graphics in this game are very good. I was impressed by the amount of detail that went into the environment. The developers really made the planet look like a lost cause.

Difficulty: This is not a hard game by any means. Unless of course you choose the hardest difficulties.

Fun Factor: This is a very fun game. You will enjoy it and laugh while your enjoying it as well. After the campaign is beat, you can play the multiplayer which is also fun.

Is there co-op mode? I thought the humour was a bit OTT in the demo trailer but the gameplay was quite fun. I might pick this up.

M1chl5426d ago

In campaign no, but ther is a cooperative multiplayer, which basicaly skillshot base horde mode. But honestly, that mode sucks : (

Cajun Chicken5425d ago

Fantastic game. Can't wait for a sequel.

After watching the final cut-scene, you know that there must be a Bulletstorm 2 in the works!

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.

IMissJimRyan1056d 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.

SullysCigar1056d 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!

IMissJimRyan1056d ago

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

Abnor_Mal1056d ago (Edited 1056d 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.

Venoxn4g1056d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya1055d ago (Edited 1055d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic1055d 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.

danglyparts1091d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
