Quote

Grayson ends up a drunken pirate ten years later, with his only friend being a cyborg named Ishi Sato. Roaming through the galaxy, he bumps into the ship of General Serrano, where he rams it and both his and Serrano’s ship go hurdling towards the planet Stygia. That’s where one of the game’s first long (20 minute) cutscenes kick in and the prologue ends. Many of the cutscenes actually show Grayson, who’s not very politically accurate in his speech, rather than give players a first-person view

What? Ps3 fans will love that i guess.

This is the game for which the term 'KICKSPLODE!' was coined.

Also, story by Rick Remender is a good sign, assuming any of his stuff makes it into the actual game. I get a bit of a Fear Agent vibe from this ('alcoholic pirate'...)

As expected it comes with Gears beta and some additional points,visual upgrades*,PS3 peasants excluded of course.

Quote

Electronic Arts and Microsoft have teamed up to announce the “Epic Edition” of Bulletstorm, exclusively for Xbox 360, which includes guaranteed early access to the Gears of War 3 beta.

“Epic is poised to break new ground in 2011 with Gears of War 3 and Bulletstorm,” said Dr. Michael Capps, president of Epic Games. “With these two highly anticipated triple-A experiences comes a unique opportunity to do something to really excite players, and that’s what we intend to accomplish with the support of Microsoft Game Studios and EA. This is for the shooter fans.”

*The “Epic Edition”, which will retail at $59.99, includes early access to the Gears of War 3 beta and more. It’ll give players 25,000 additional experience points when playing online and visual upgrades for their leash, Peace Maker Carbine, boots and armor.

For the same price as the game would go for without the extra content, why the heck wouldn’t you buy the “Epic Edition”?

Raban · « **Reply #37 on:** December 17, 2010, 03:37:20 PM »

There's no way I'm getting this on anything but PC, so I guess I ain't getting early beta access

game looks like a lot of fun, but i hope there's a way to turn off the player character's quips - they got annoying after about ten seconds in those videos, even with barely being able to hear them over the dev talking

chronovore · « **Reply #40 on:** January 11, 2011, 06:07:54 PM »

Yeah, it's been surprisingly under le radar for something that Cliffy B was publicly stroking his Peacemaker over a year ago and is now nearing launch. Either it's a marketing slip-up (read: they're covering their ass by not spending much on it, so when it doesn't sell they can say "we knew it wouldn't sell"), and/or the game has serious problems.

At the very least, it doesn't appear to take its overblown machismo seriously, which is one of the things I dislike about GoW.

ch1nchilla · « **Reply #41 on:** January 14, 2011, 12:30:59 AM »

This is going to be completely win... I usually pass over the non Epic-developed games and wait for stuff like Gears, but I think I'll probably pick this up. If the scoring system is as good as it should be and the multiplayer is solid, I can see myself playing this for a long time. Also, the Gears beta never hurts.

Anyone else planning to buy it? We should make a list for some netz hotness.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #42 on:** January 14, 2011, 12:55:39 AM »

It's definitely tough to launch a new IP late in a gen. I think if they just show off the game like in the promo videos then I think they have a shot. You kinda have to market this game almost like an old school in your face 16 bit product. Don't fucking get artsy with it. Embrace the dumb. Like when the advertising was all cheesy and the commercial screams this game is so bad-ass.

The other thing is I think they said the game has no competitive multiplayer. Just horde mode stuff. That's a pretty big omission for this genre for a game that isn't Mass Effect or something. The masses who buy these games will pass on products if they can't imagine themselves playing it a few months down the road. (whether they do or not. It's a psychological barrier)

Hopefully it turns out well. I've gone from not interested to quietly excited for this one.

Yes.

There is no competitive multi in the sense of killing other players in tdm or objective modes from what I understand.

That being said, I'm sure there will be deathmatch in the future through dlc, etc.

Those will be the most desolate, deserted multiplayer servers known to man, except perhaps for those of the recent Soldier of Fortune game.

Maybe. But if they go that route there will be no actual community playing it with any decent numbers.

I don't know... I think a lot of people will play it. EA marketing power + Epic fanboys = potentially huge sales. I'm excited just to play it among friends, I think it could have some staying power if the scoring is deep enough and Epic continues to support it through DLC and whatever.

Edit: I just remembered it comes with the Gears 3 beta. Massive sales success confirmed.

I hope you're right and this is a "people bought Crackdown for Halo 3 beta and stayed for the Crackdown" situation.

chronovore · « **Reply #54 on:** January 21, 2011, 06:47:57 AM »

Yeah, the GoW3 Beta pack-in is a good point. It's a good way to get a lot of copies of the base game out there. But there's no way people will be paying for DLC to get traditional competitive deathmatch.

Herr Mafflard · « **Reply #55 on:** January 21, 2011, 06:54:48 AM »

Also the central mechanic of the game seems to be the manipulation of enemies using the grappling hook. I don't think that would translate well into traditional competetive arena based multiplayer.

Raban · « **Reply #56 on:** January 21, 2011, 12:20:48 PM »

Does anyone know if the PC version of Bulletstorm is coming with the GoW3 beta key? I wanna get in on that action, but FPS on consoles...

They were giving out free hamburgers at E3. I refuse to pay fucking $8 for a hot dog at the LA Convention Center so I consider that part to be brilliance
