Bulletstorm demo now live on Live Marketplace – shots, video

One reaction so far on EG, and the reaction appears to be “it’s shit”.

“Oops”.

This just in:
Someone else ‘isn’t sure’.

I’ll get media up ASAP. It’s coming down far slower than Crysis.

Also downloading, really excited for this!

Pics added.

Just played it. Its more fun than i expected it to be….no really!

Hearing all sorts of mixed reports across the net. PSN update can’t come soon enough.

You need to quantify just how much fun you expected it to be, EscoBlades.

I’ll have video in about 15 mins.

What’s with the subs in those pictures? Are they real? They look like they were written by a moron.

“Any-hoo, here’s the skinny”
“Scurvy pirate pals”

That’s from an intro movie bit at the beginning. It’s just to show you the concept before you start playing.

I am downloading now…

I came away more impressed than I thought I would be, it runs smooth, controls well and I had fun fucking about. Its stupid as all hell but then again so was Painkiller so im not really all that surprised.

If you don’t enjoy old style FPS games like Serious Sam etc then you are never ever going to get on with this game, the thing is though is that the game does not give a shit if you like it or not, it panders to no one really. It just seems to do what does really fucking well.

Over charged whip, 4 dudes in the air, shoot three, kick the last one off the building when he lands.

LOADSA MONEY. I mean points.

There’s the video.

Well done Pat, I think you’ve broken YouTube. Froze up at the 3min mark for me. Working okay again now though.

The site just can’t cope with my 7337 skills.

O…kay. I might’ve changed my mind about even trying this one.

@18

So you’re not going to try it Blerk? :/

No, it looks (and sounds) puerile.

@20

Ack! Don’t be so snooty Are you not even tempted by the fun you could have with the skillshot system?

Not even a little bit?

It is.

Its great. Its been fucking ages since theres been a braindead shooter thats reveled in the fact that its a braindead shooter.

No, not even a little bit. Even if I discount my inner snootiness, it just doesn’t look any fun.

@22

I agree.

I would much rather ‘pucker my asshole’ than play the umpteenth modern shooter game that is based on ‘Real conflicts’ with real soldiers facing ‘Real issues’ etc…

Every once in a while it’s good to just kick back and play an FPS that doesn’t give two shits and let’s you know it.

WAR BULLETSTORM!

I adore the fact that the deep moral quandaries of Bulletstorm is whether I kick you into this thing, or kick you off this thing.

I also think because its stupid as hell it does not mean that emergent gameplay can’t spring from it, I imagine the co-op aspects bolted onto the skill set could lead to some insane showboating teamwork.

Like three whippy over charge things happening at once.

Just wondering.
If I download crysis will I be able to play it?
It says closed beta.

Game is more fun than I thought it would be.

@26: Yes, but it’s really not that great imo

THX Tallon 4

I had high expectations for this and they’re (almost) fullfilled.

The controlls/aiming is a bit shaky in the beginning, but if you play it two or three times in a row, than you enjoy the face kicking and mutants blasting even more. Really surprised how good this game works on consoles, really looking forward to this, even more now.

Btw, PC version should be the shit although I’m not going to get it :/

Queued it up.

I’ll give it a shot.

Looking forward to trying it based soley on the company thats creating it.

It’s awesome! Finally another game that takes the same line as Serious Sam, Painkiller (I know, same developer) and Duke Nukem.

Action non-stop!

I hope that Doom 4 goes back to the roots, too, and delivers something like the old school Dooms. *sighs*

This will be one of the great yeats of FPS history.

Played it. Eh. Not for me.

Well, I definitely have zero intention of buying it after the lovely insult they decided to throw at me right at the end of the demo.
