Bulletstorm: Bleszinski promises solid PS3 performance

Epic's predominant work on Xbox may leave you concerned, as seems to be a trend this generation, that the PS3 version of Epic's latest, Bulletstorm, will be a cast-away port. Not so, promises Epic bog man Cliff Blezsinski.

I'll belive it when I see it.

Quagmire5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

We've heard this SO many times before, but no one actually delivers. They either say PS3 will be up to 360, or better. They say performance will be better, graphically equal, but then in comparison videos/screenshots, they end up being of lesser quality than 360.

Rich16315560d ago

You do realize Epic did Unreal Tournament III for the PS3, right? It was just as good as the other versions, was one of the first games to ship with rumble support, it is the only console version that contains the mod support, mouse/keyboard support, and the Titan expansion pack. Just because Gears of War is exclusive doesn't mean they are against the PS3 or morons when it comes to development. Plus they want to keep selling the Unreal engine license, so they aren't going to put out a version of the game that runs weak.

Longrod_Von_Hugendon5560d ago

Yeah right that's what they all say. I'm done with multiplats and will never buy new again, it'll mostly be preowned if I even decided to pick it up. You can thank Treyarch, 2K and the rest for that.

PS3 devs get priority! I'm not paying top dollar for second rate shit.

AndrewRyan5560d ago

He said "Solid" not "Same as xbox 360".

Sorry PS3 owners :(

PC for me, looking like a very beautiful game, and when I say beautiful I am saying I am very impressed by all the colors.

Blaster_Master5560d ago

Did Mr. Bleszinski really help with Unreal 3? Man that game was crap online. It had tons of potential though. Don't get me wrong, I really want him to be right. I just hope its not a hoax and he does what every third publisher has done to us this gen. Skimp our version of the game. This gen has changed alot, I miss the good ol days when devs were really passionate about the product no matter what platform it was on.

visualb5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

I'm sure it'll be fine, there are as many "broken" PS3 experiences as there are "fantastic"

most experiences are either slightly lesser or equal to the 360's. people always remember the bad and forget the good.

@ Andrew Ryan

don't be sorry Andrew Ryan,
PS3 owners will enjoy the game equally to any other platform, even PC,
because enjoyment is subjective,
and you don't know what you're missing out unless you, say, play the PC version first and PS3 version after, which will be a rare case.

So to expect that PS3 owners will be cursing and crying over some missing pixels or some other details is silly. Sure if the game is BROKEN then it won't be fine, but most multiplats aren't, so please, don't be sorry.

AndrewRyan5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

@visualb

Lot's of people complain however. I have a PS3 myself and whenever there is a multiplat game I usually always go for PC or the next platform that is superior. Is it not in your best interest to spend your money according to the quality of the item being bought? I do believe so. I love my PS3 for the exclusives but some of the multiplatform games are sort of a let down, not saying they are bad and sometimes the differences are not noticeable, but I mean to say that when they are I definitely will not buy the game.

If you want to buy lesser games go ahead, it only shows the developer that you don't care if you get the "leftovers" so to speak. You could either go complain and call the developer (Which I am sure they are not going to care) or you can not buy the game and maybe they will finally say "Hey Bill, we really are not selling that much copies on the PS3. I think it is because we didn't make a good port... Maybe we should work harder next time!?", "Gee wiz Dylan! That sounds like a superb idea!"

Ju5560d ago

Nothing to do with "Vanquish" but everything to do with UE3. Bulletstorm is not done by Epic themselves, though, but hopefully they brushed UE3 up for PS3 (where is the AA god damn?). That thing doesn't do much PS3 special magic - there should be room for MLAA.

Funny this pops up now. There were just showing a preview of the game on X-Play. The multiplayer looks sick. Very unique.

Vherostar5560d ago

If they used all of PS3 power like it said in the article the 360 version would get the raw end of the stick I mean sure 360 gamers can disagree with me but we all know the PS3 can put out more if pushed enough games like Uncharted 2 proved this. So I don't believe this one bit. PS3 gamers will get a crappy port and then the 360 fanboys will just try give ps3 gamers and fanboys grief well guess what? We are here before the storm saying we don't care as we expect it.

Neckbear5560d ago

You know that Uncharted 2 is basically smoke and mirrors to hell and back, right?

It DOES take advantage of most of the PS3, however, the PS3 isn't a supah-megah-awesumzxDDD lolgraphix machine.

In raw power, the PS3 lacks in memory and is just as limited as other consoles are.

Honestly, I thought we all knew this by now.

Not only that, but the main purpose of a multiplatform title is to basically make both versions EQUAL.

Also, an exclusive developer usually gets more time to use a certain coding for a game, which means the focus is on said console and will take full advantage of it, unlike a multiplatform title that needs to have all platforms in mind.

...I don't even know why I'm explaining this, it should be common sense.

baodeus5560d ago

So what does UC2 have that is different from other games?

So how about emphasize on it further so people can understand the technical marvel of UC2 right?

Like for example what graphic engine did they used for the games to help clarifying how UC2 is different/above and beyond any other console games out there?

badz1495560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

"...I don't even know why I'm explaining this, it should be common sense." - I'm a bit confused as well because you're clearly not the one to explain this! you don't now shit of what you're talking about!

you mentioned about raw power, then you said lacks of memory!

you mentioned about smoke and mirrors, I clearly can see you don't know the meaning of that term.

and then you said "Also, an exclusive developer usually gets more time to use a certain coding for a game,..." - Uncharted 2 took just a mere 18 months to be made.

dude, seriously, just shut up!

baodeus5560d ago

So i get disagree for asking people to clarify their claim? Quite funny, how do you disagree w/ a question?

Question need answers right?

LOL. You guys are quite funny.

DigitalAnalog5560d ago

Understandable as long as they don't make one "sub-hd" with poor textures compared to the 360 version, then they have delivered. Hopefully they end up like Batman: AA's multiplat quality standards on UE3.

... But will it be on-par with the Xbox 360 version?

In terms of frame-rate & visual quality..

That remains to be seen.

suicidalblues5560d ago

If it is Xbots will swear they got a gimped version.

MrBeatdown5560d ago

Considering that Epic made Unreal Tournament III for PS3 which ran great, went above and beyond in order to take advantage of every little thing they could support on PS3 from trophies to mods to free DLC, and make the engine that powers hundreds of games, I'd say they know what they are talking about moreso than forum posters whose only expertise is screenshot comparisons that highlight differences that otherwise wouldn't be noticed by 99% of people.

DORMIN5560d ago

THIS^

Hope they do take advantage of everything.

lets get Gears working on XBL first buddy

IHateYouFanboys5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

clearly you havent played Gears 2 online since Title Update 6 like 6+ months ago.

Gears 2 works brilliantly online now - client side hit detection on more guns, region filters, and better matchmaking.

what i find funny about this article/game is that people still for some reason seem to think that Epic Games are making Bulletstorm - theyre not! Bulletstorm is made by People Can Fly, with Epic just kinda there to help them with the engine (since its made using UE3) and promoting/hyping.

it must suck to be an employee at People Can Fly, knowing they could release the best game of the year and people will give Epic the credit for it.

i cant wait for Bulletstorm, it looks fantastic. easily my most awaited FPS along with Bioshock Infinite.

tmoss7265560d ago

Yeah Epic owns them and probably helps minimally. Epic is mainly focused on Gears 3 obviously. And Gears Kinect?

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee19h ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein35d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator34d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.

Saudi Arabia Will Own 93 Percent Of Battlefield 6 Publisher EA

When the dust settles on the $55 billion leveraged buyout of Electronic Arts, Saudi Arabia will be its only true owner, despite a “consortium” of investors being involved in the deal. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will control 93 percent of the company, according to filings with Brazil’s antitrust regulator.

blacktiger86d ago

Technically speaking, Saudi Arabia and TENCENT can buy the entire USA. ANf Democrat and Republican will not do crap!

Inverno86d ago

Letting foreign entities own half of American businesses is liberal and very progressive. So is bringing in all that talent from outside the States to replace the talentless and lazy American workers. And here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope. We're supposed to worry bout them "radical Muslims" minding their own here and ignore China/Saudi/Israel taking over.

blacktiger86d ago

Another thing I hate hearing is "liberal and very progressive"
It's 2025 and that stuff is outdated. Everything and everyway is literally the same thing wheter it's progressive, conservativ. Because they all wants the same thing have, king unlimited oney buy everything including your house.

Now they making mainstream media news that it's AI Bubble justify to highjack the price of RAM.
Another excuse for inflation!

Tacoboto86d ago

"here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope"

Lol, you actually bought what he was selling? Let's see this week alone...

Yesterday he pardoned an international drug lord, while allowing the murder of random fishermen on boats. Remember drain the swamp? He pardoned a Democratic Congressman jailed for bribery just today, nevermind that fraudulent drag queen republican that was kicked out of Congress and imprisoned for their fraud. It's so petty they're picking fights on social media with pop stars while using their music, and even using Franklin the damn Turtle to cartoonify their murders.

its quite ridiculous that they were able to do that. or even allowed to.

Looking on the bright side, the games may be patched to remove any ideologies that are incompatible for the majority of the world.

What do you mean? You want censorship in games?
