Has Bulletstorm Revived The FPS?

O_o

ARE STUPID?
COD Black ups sold crazy well
So did Reach
And now kz3 is out

LORD-PHOENIX5571d ago

If kz3 wasn't out would we get these articles?

The game is utter crap these reviewers complained about kz3 story yet this gets a free pass? It has no multiplayer? Reviewers complained kz3 story was short yet this is shorter and it gets a pass....

I've played this game and have brought it back to cex today for a credit note this game is CRAP and the bias media are ruining gaming

malandra5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

these "new" mechanics were used in the Bloodrayne games on the PS2

AAACE55571d ago

I think what they meant is that a lot of people have been saying that they are bored with shooters, because no matter how much better they make the graphics, sound, etc. most games feel very similar to each other.

Bulletstorm is still similar to others, yet it throws in some other things to try to keep it exciting. Call it arcadey gameplay if you will.

Orionsangel5571d ago

Just because people keep buying redundant mediocrity doesn't mean it revives anything. I find it funny how certain gamers are proud that they buy basically the same game every year. MW,MW2 and Blk ops are all interchangeable. Especially in the Multiplayer department, now most of you will disagree of course, but that's only because you're in denial, but it's true.

DragonWarrior5571d ago

Thats why you should have tried the demo. The way i figure out if a game is good or not is if my 4 year old son likes it or not. He liked Bulletstorm, enough to play it for a couple of days, but then he hasn't touched it since, which is the perfect metaphor for this game. Its a weekend shooter. Its not a bad thing, but im really sick of these noob media fairies not giving respect where its due.

TheDivine5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

It has for me. Way more fun than all the standard shooters. I loved reach, kz2, exc but forgot how much fun games used to be when they just threw as much over the top action at you as possible. People are sick of cod, buy this. Sick of kz3, buy this. Its a great game but dont buy it for the multiplayer, its ok but no deathmatch exc. Its not new but its gaming going to its roots, just fun. This is the type of game you play with friends over just laughing and passing the controller around.

Revived? The FPS genre has been doing better than ever. :/

Crazyglues5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

Uh, Hell No -because that game sucks... LoL

Seriously come on' I wouldn't even call that game a FPS, more like a shoot em' up comedy kick enemies and laugh at the silly design of it all..

-but to the disagrees if you like it you like no big deal, enjoy it, -but it's far from Revising FPS.. (Come On' Really)

If anything Crysis 2 will be doing that.... I just can't take Bulletstorm, serious.. So I just don't see how it could be

@ DantheMan81 - ha..ha.. much less then that.. (No offense but it's just not my type of FPS game, but if you liked it that's cool enjoy it. (and all jokes aside I played the whole demo to the end)

Let me guess, you play the demo for 5 minutes.

nycrekid5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

Actually I played the demo for 15 minutes and it was enough to know this is a rental or a bargain buy. 5 hours and NO mp? If you buy this full price you either have lots of money to spend or have very low standards.

ChrisW5571d ago

Geee, I didn't know FPSs need reviving.

DragonKnight5571d ago

I know, wish they would die out though. Too many of them. Market is stale.

its actually never died anyway...

OllieBoy5571d ago

First Person Shooters are making a comeback!

lol

Cajun Chicken5571d ago

I believe it might had. All these war shooter FPS now, aren't as much fun to play as some of the classics. First Person Shooting should be about shooting, not hide and seek as they've recently become.

Bulletstorm looks like a breath of fresh air in a stagnant genre that used to be much better before it got made over complicated and based on ongoing conflicts and political agendas. Not to say it ignores modern day FPS conventions, but it embraces a few of those like rechargable health, optional duck and cover and iron sights.

Personally I knew this game was going to be for the better of the future of FPS because I tire what it is now.

Malebaria5571d ago (Edited 5571d ago )

I personally wouldn't say it has revived the genre as a whole. However, it's bringing something new to the table so that should definitely be commended.

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_account1074d 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_account1072d 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.

IMissJimRyan1082d 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.

SullysCigar1082d 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!

IMissJimRyan1082d ago

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

Abnor_Mal1082d ago (Edited 1082d 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.

Venoxn4g1082d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya1081d ago (Edited 1081d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic1081d 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.

danglyparts1117d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
