New Bulletstorm screens show guns the size of monsters, monsters the size of bigger monsters
Would you describe the wait for Bulletstorm as “bearable”? How about “no big deal”? Does it only keep you restlessly awake – your skin slick with cold rivulets of sweat – a few nights per week?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above, you clearly haven’t seen Bulletstorm. Now’s your chance to fill that gaping, potentially fatal hole in your life.

Interview – RAGE’s Tim Willits
RAGE is id’s first – and apparently only – new IP in quite some time, and the developer’s doing it up in style. Yeah, the post-apocalyptic shooter/driver/toy car driver’s got it all – even its own release date. No more teasing, no more “when it’s done,” no more fooling us into staring into Todd Hollenshead’s dreamy blue eyes until we forget what we were talking about. With RAGE, we’re witnessing the emergence of a new id Software, one that’s not afraid to hunker down and commit.
And we can see why. When you’re able to demo your game on three night-and-day different platforms side-by-side, you’re clearly doing something right. With more than a year to go before launch, though, there’s still plenty more to discuss. Is the release date really set in stone? How about multiplayer? Are dedicated servers in or out? What happens if John Carmack goes into space and explodes? We asked RAGE creative director Tim Willits all those questions and more, and he tolerated our shenanigans to the point that we’re pretty sure he wasn’t lying to us!
Check out the interview after the break!
