In the latest episode of Bulletstorm’s Bulletpoints, Epic’s Cliff Bleszinski explores a more humane, environmentally friendly way to kill your opponents.
First Bulletstorm took on Halo with a touching, vomit-soaked diorama. That’s good enough for Halo, but to take on Call of Duty it’ll need something meatier, like the full downloadable PC game Duty Calls.
Epic’s demo of its upcoming over-the-top first-person shooter Bulletstorm urges players to kill with skill. Lacking any real skill myself, fits of childish giggling will have to do.
Bulletstorm is such an interesting proposition – on the one hand it appears to be as dumb as dogshit, loaded up with the kind of pinball machine mechanics that can often subvert actual gameplay. But on the other hand, we can’t wait to play an FPS shooter that attempts to ramp up the scale and switch things up a bit. This new trailer, released in preperation for the upcoming demo, is looking rather spiffing.
Nothing says serious business like a slow pan through a minutely detailed diorama set to moody music.
See if your Windows machine is up for a game of Bulletstorm, the shooter from Painkiller creators People Can Fly and Epic Games. Minimum and recommended system requirements seem… fairly reasonable.
Some rumblings on the internet recently speculated that Epic’s upcoming shooter Bulletstorm had been ‘modified’ for an Australian audience – but after speaking with both EA and the Classification Board, I can confirm that the game has gotten through classification unscathed!
