‘We faced the same problems as the God of War devs,’ says Bulletstorm developer

The developers of the upcoming, totally awesome game, Bulletstorm, Creative Director Adrian Chmielarz said that while creating Bulletstorm, the developer team faced a lot of problems the God of War development team would have faced. Why? Because both their protagonists are so bad-ass from the very beginning of the game.

Ha, I guess they are also jealous of kratos in MK.

PR_FROM_OHIO5638d ago

Thats all microsoft people do is talk shit!!!

darthv725638d ago

he isnt a MS person though.

RockmanII75638d ago

PR this games on PS3 too so you don't need to bash it.

LORD-PHOENIX5637d ago

think ill stick with gears 3

furthermore bulletstorm and god of war should never be used in the same sentence im sorry but kratos and the god of war series are highly respected

Half_Life_35637d ago

@LORD-PHOENIX
Gears is just unreal 3 in 3rd person even the characters look the same.

WildArmed5637d ago

They hardly talk alot.
They do one interview and we get 20 quote articles out of it on N4G.

Same thing happens w/ Lionstudio head..
same thing was going on w/ David Cage w/ Heavy Rain.

No need to associate the abundant about of articles based on something they said w/ they 'talk alot'.
If some1 asks them something, either they can say 'I cannot answer it' or they answer it.
They will get quoted either way.

Plus, it's PR.....
speaking of PR..
i hope KB appears in VGAs >.>
(Bcoz there is no realy party w/o KB!)

Last time I checked Epic are quite supportive of their PS3 games, didn't the PS3 version of UT3 run at the same speed and look the same as the 360 version and it supported user made mods (in which the 360 version didn't)???

Less hate on Epic please, they are one of the top devs this gen.

multipayer5637d ago

Epic is a epic developer, but all their characters in unreal are generic as hell. Gears of War is closest they've come to good characters, and they just fit the part. Their idea of badass is acting like a highschool football player when killing things... I call shinanigans on them putting deep thought into bulletstorm characters, but I bet the gameplay is great.

@PR_FROM_OHIO

EA is the publisher typical pr person not knowing what he is talking about

dabri55637d ago

Bullet Storm has a very B-movie styled movie feel to it in terms of lines and story. It's intentional and when you play it, works really well with the over the top game play they have. It's a fun game.

dabri55637d ago

When you play it, disagree with me. At this point, I would assume, I'm the only one here who has.

Why would Epic Games be jealous of Kratos in Mortal Kombat?

King-Leonidas5637d ago

Cos Kratos doesnt use steroids mhauhauahua

gameraxis5637d ago (Edited 5637d ago )

well, seems kratos started off destroyer of gods to destroyer of worlds if u played the last installment... i always feel powerful in the beginning of GOW games, and not all of it is weapons... they have to get the Character PERFECT, and i don't believe santamonica had a problem with that... unless they mean the first GOW because they've done it 3 times near perfect! Some of u may say "yea every game has a bad a$s and this and that, to which i will reply, yes, almost every game themed like that TRYS to have a bad ass, but look at quantum theory... Kratos had a purpose, EXCELLENT facial/Body animation and posture,unbelievealble VOICE ACTING... and not to mention the setting and story line of what happened to him to make him this way was simply incredibly fleshed out and was the foundation to the whole franchise! i never asked myself... ok here's a bad guy, why am i fighting him? u KNEW u were on a bloody as$ quest to the top... and giving the trickery which ended in the death of his family, and then the paranoia of Zues which set the rest of the story in motion... i honestly don't think there's a better epic story out there.. that's what worries me, how can they top "killing off the gods" in an awesome Greek mythology world, unless they make huge enough strides to already do a reboot with the same essence just different story lol... i don't care what it is, i just want another 3 or 4 hours of DLC and a next gen GOW game every year,(realistically 2)AND GIVE ME A FEW EPIC NEW AVATARS DAMMIT!!! ok I'm done looking beyond the "simple hack and slash" some people may call it, and spooging all over kratos... but i just wish more people appreciated what santa monica has done with this series... instead of looking at it with a sinist's eyes

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5638d ago

Just deliver the expectations for all consoles, that's all.

Coffin875638d ago

Thx a lot man. I was beginning to think I'm the only one who thinks this way.
This business is SO much about chatter, rumors and bullshit.. it's unbelievable.
Luckily, quality will always be able to set itself apart from the crap. This is one thing you can always rely on.

Elven65637d ago

Epic has a good track record,

There aint no other character more badass than kratos. Telling girls to leave before he comes back after the threesome is badass.

Disney Should Buy Fortnite And Epic Games, Former Exec Says

The Walt Disney Company's new CEO, Josh D'Amaro, is a big fan of video games, and one former Disney executive believes D'Amaro would be smart to do even more in gaming going forward. This could include a buyout of a gaming company like Epic Games.

In an interview with CNBC, Kevin Mayer--a former Disney and TikTok executive who now runs Candle Media--said D'Amaro will need to take "bold steps" to help Disney make more money and grow its stock price. One part of this could be doing more in gaming, he said.

Apparently nobody remembers the absolute shitshow that happened when EA brought the Havok engine which was used as the default engine of the 6th generation like UE is used today.

SkilledGamer48d ago

You've got it wrong, EA bought Renderware not Havok. Havok was bought by Intel in 2007 and then Microsoft in 2015

Fishy Fingers48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Nor was it ever a widely used or considered, game engine, Renderware was. It was and still is a physics/material simulation plugin for the actual game engines.

Profchaos47d ago

Yeah you're right i was thinking of Renderware. But point still stands Renderware was used literally everywhere from games like GTA 3,VC,SA to Sonic games and Tony hawk it was really the default industry wide engine that UE is today.

If Disney takes over Epic and UE we could face a situation where they change the terms of use for other game devs big and small. They could remove the licensing agreements currently in place and impose a payment per download model like Unity did which could cripple the industry.

TOTSUKO48d ago

Fck Disney stock and their shareholders.

blacktiger48d ago

Well I can imagine DIsney with their transgender Snowwhite and black cinderally and mermaid and other garbage. Imagine video games lmao!!!

shinXseijuro48d ago

You sound like a fun person to be around .

Huey_My_D_Long47d ago

Dumbass cant even spell Cinderella but apparently he's upset by the 1997 Cinderella classic starring Brandy. Almost 20 year old movie.
Just say you dont like black people man, we all know it.

rlow148d ago

I really hope this doesn’t happen. They ruin everything that they buy. Terrible company

Zerobalance48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Trolling. Hope Disney take the Maval characters like Spider-Man and Wolverine away from Sony and make it themselves that would me laugh so hard.

"It is going to get so much worse in the video game industry...This will get worse and going to be bad and it's going to eventually get better." -Greg Miller right before it got worse

Agent7550d ago

Too many games, too many versions, download only games, game pricing, £700+ consoles, eye watering prices for controllers, four formats, gaming is one big mess.

gold_drake50d ago

id argue that epic games has alot of other revenue income other than fortnite, so their reasoning makes zero sense.
