Wow bulletstorm doing real well for a New IP

Dante1125548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

You guys do know that Killzone 3 release near the end of February right (Feb 22nd)? Similar to GT5's situation when folks laugh and claimed that it sold poorly when it was release near the end of it's month.

Edit: I thought Bulletstorm was a multiplatform title?

Edit2: Bulletstorm sold 285.6K, Killzone 3 sold 279.9K as a exclusive. I don't see how that's a big celebration to you.

IHateYouFanboys5548d ago

you do know that Bulletstorm released ON THE SAME DAY as Killzone 3, right?

it outsold it, end of story. yes, its a multiplatform game - but all the PS3 fanboys on here assured us that not a single PS3 owner would buy bulletstorm over killzone 3, so that means that the 360 version sold more than killzone 3 using their stupid logic.

Killzone 3s initial sales are terrible for a title of its standing. its a shame, because its better than its predecessor, and 90% of the other PS3 exclusives.

SoapShoes5548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

Just shut up, Ihateyoufanboys. Seriously, the spinning is ridiculous. I'm not going to overly defend it but to make it look like it did poorly is just asinine. I mean it barely, BARELY outsold it by 5.7k.....

b163o15548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

^^^^Fanboy lol @ihatefanboys

sack_boi5548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

Bombzone 3 sold less than KZ2 (which only had 3 days) on it's opening month despite have a whole week.
Where's LBP 2?

Solidus187-SCMilk5548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

he didnt say anything about killzone.

Killzone did great, especially when you consider its only on one platform. bulletstorm was a multi but it did ok.

Im really surprised that MvC 3 sold that much.

Dante1125548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

Nothing wrong with me. Instead of posting my comment at the bottom and risk it getting lost in a mass of arguing people, I just replied to Wayne to get my opinion of the whole "Killzone 3 failing" to the top in quest that it would end the feud before it worsen below you.

RockmanII75548d ago

"That means that the 360 version sold more than killzone 3 using their stupid logic."

They are stupid, and you are using their logic. Interesting.

Mizz_mai5547d ago

Wait a minute,did'nt n4g run a story like last week or something stating KZ3 had sold 500,000 in a week....so is this figure added to the previous 500,000...??

RRRR i hate all this sales talk just enjoy the game,xbox fanboys wether it sold cod numbers or not its still awesome,nobody even knows what fable 3 or crackdown 2 sold but you'll defend those games even though the KZ franchise has more presence than them both.

OneSneakyMofo5547d ago (Edited 5547d ago )

Love all the PS3 hate in here. This is what happens when your console doesn't have any games. It's okay, 360 fans. Gears will be here in six short months.

likedamaster5547d ago

After all the crazy hype, Killzone 3 underperformed and can safely be called a "bomba". Good day folks.

IPUMPMYGUN5548d ago

bulletstorm is not doing better then kz3

Ddouble5548d ago

Your probably right since NPD doesn't track the bundled sales.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5548d ago

Hardly. The game is a multiplat and is barely beating an exclusive.

RockmanII75548d ago

But the game is also a new IP while Killzone has a loyal fanbase. Either way I hope each company is happy with the outcome.

BattleAxe5548d ago

Bulletstorm is only doing well because its a Cliff Blezinski game, and whenever the 360 Bots see that Cliffy B is making a game they automatically flock to it and say that its the best game ever.

If Cliffy B were to announce that he's going to have an easter egg in the form of a picture of his dick hidden somewhere in the game, I'm sure it would sell 2 million copies day one on the 360.

testerg355547d ago

Battleax, since it's multi what's the excuse for ps3 fans buying it?

Philaroni5548d ago

Kind of sad how low Killzone is. I love the online for that game. For some reason it just does not really sell all that much.

MajestieBeast5548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

500k in 2 weeks is bad all of a sudden?

kaveti66165548d ago

It's not bad.

But you know people will compare it to other games like CoD or Halo.

Call of Duty MW2 sold 7 millions copies in 24 hours, I think.

Even though it's on more platforms, it's still a WOW fact.

Philaroni5548d ago

It is bad for how good it is. Other games like Halo, CoD, Gears, Uncharted, BF2 all sold much more in the same time.

What I am saying is that it should sell more for how good of a game it is.

ColecoVision5548d ago

500k is good, but as others have said, it doesn't compare to other big title games. Why? Because a lot of PS3 fans (going back to PS2 days) have been ripping 1st person shooters for years. PS2 fans would rip the original xbox because of all the shooters. PS fans really don't even deserve to have the Killzone franchise. However... Good for you PS3 owners who have bought and supported such amazing games in Killzone 2 and 3.

Philaroni5548d ago

kaveti6616

That is more or less my point, CoD even on the PS3 sold more in one day then KZ2 ever sold and KZ3 might ever sell. Thats a sad fact that is backed up by more numbers then you can find in a math book.

Breadisgood5548d ago

It's because:

1. It's exclusive to one platform
2. Besides the graphics it's pretty run-of-the-mill
3. There's quite a few FPS' coming out at the moment

I like Killzone, and if I had a PS3 I'd get it, but it's nothing spectacular.

Philaroni5548d ago

It is not run of the mill at all, Killzone does many things other shooters do not and has its own identity among FPS games.

I never understood why people try to use the comment that it is generic. I don't see one thing that is generic about it. No one to date has been able to defend that comment and give constructive reasons why it is and what generic even means in a shooter.

Rynx5548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

@Breadisgood

I'd rate your trolling a 2/5

Breadisgood5548d ago

How exactly was that trolling?

msbabie200345548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

"How exactly was that trolling? "

well bread your opinion wasn't "killzone 3 is the awesome" and i agree with your opinion. i beat it in 2 sit downs and you're right it is nothing spectacular, and the parts on vehicles sucked very badly, especially the end sequence and the ending was terrible.<---keeping it vague so i don't cussed for spoiling...

u got to remember one thing on n4g bread- if you don't blow sony, the ps3, or it's exclusives you will be hated on n4g.

Anon19745548d ago

@ msbabie20034.

Actually, to be hated on N4G, all you have to do is make a duplicate account, use it to bubble up other accounts and once every six months or so use it to flame gamers looking to discuss the hobby they love. Am I getting warm?

Seriously, what kinda guy exits only to troll while adding zero worthwhile, ever. Seriously, how insecure do you have to be to get off by starting flame wars while adding nothing to the conversation. It's parasitic, petty and just plain sad.

This has all the hallmarks of a duplicate account. Mods - you seeing this? Everybody report this guy and maybe the mods will take a closer look at the account activity.

Breadisgood5544d ago

@darkride66

Are you saying msbabie is a duplicate account of mine? I don't see what would make you think that other than that he is simply agreeing with me.

I also don't see how I was trolling. Since when has stating your opinion on something been trolling?

I said I like Killzone but it's a bit run-of-the mill. I didn't say "Killzone f*****g sucks!" or something. Wtf is wrong with you people?

Breadisgood5548d ago

Ok you tell me what's special about it.

Jonah_Reese5548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

This could imply that you never played the game which could also imply that your opinion is completely invalid. You realize this right? Oh My bad I just re-read your first comment; it is invalid. Taking into consideration this; to even call something run-in-the-mill you'd at least have play it for an extended period of time. Hell at least 3 hours... just saying.

Breadisgood5548d ago (Edited 5548d ago )

Just because I don't own a PS3 doesn't mean I haven't played it.

I had Killzone 1 on the PS2 and I've played Killzone 2 and 3, both single player and online. Don't go making assumptions just because someone doesn't share the same view as you...just saying.

I asked him to tell me what he thought was special so I could explain why I don't think they're special things.

If there's things that stick out as being special to him, then it should be easy for him to tell me them. How am I supposed to pick out points of "genericness"?

All I can say I guess is that when playing it, I did enjoy the game and it's still a good shooter, it's just not anything particularly special in my opinion. It was entertaining but there wasn't a "wow" factor so to speak.

Which is one of the reasons why (also just "in my opinion") it doesn't have amazing sales compared to other shooters out there.

Gamerfans5548d ago

Wow! KZ3 almost outsold bulletstorm and its a multi.

ChristianGamer5548d ago

Lol how do you almost outsell from behind?

Solid_Snake5548d ago

almost, by definition, means it didn't .. but was close. His statement obviously reflects that kz3 fell just short of outselling a multiplatform title. Maybe you are home schooled and reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic539d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23539d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1539d ago (Edited 539d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger529d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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_account1066d 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.

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.

IMissJimRyan1074d 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.

SullysCigar1074d 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!

IMissJimRyan1073d ago

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

Abnor_Mal1073d ago (Edited 1073d 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.

Venoxn4g1073d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya1073d ago (Edited 1073d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic1073d 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.
