And so the trademark becomes a game, and there was much rejoicing.
The next issue of Game Informer will be revealing Bulletstorm, which is being developed by Epic-owned (Gears of War) studio People Can Fly (Painkiller), and published by EA (Harry Potter). As if the name didn't summarize it for you, the artwork on the cover should do the trick. Bulletstorm is about shooting people and killing monsters.
Next month's issue of the mag will reveal all, but the tiny blurb in the post about the cover tells us that the game will be a shooter (duh) that focuses not just on capping fools in the head, but also on racking up awesome combos through a variety of different kill types. The guys at Game Informer seem pretty impressed with it, as were the folks at Epic, who reportedly bought a majority stake in People Can Fly after simply seeing a demo of the game.
I'm digging the art a lot, if only because it reminds me of Doom's box art.

Here's hoping that its another unsophisticated shooter like Painkiller. People Can Fly really did a great job on that one.
:(
Why hasn't this been made into a game yet?
Why hasn't this been made into a game yet?
- Big boots: CHECK
- Shooting: CHECK
- Aliens: CHECK
so is the character a Space Marine or ex? cus thats all we're missing.
So this is automatically awesome.
While your post belies the fact that you did not read my entire post, I am glad that we agree.
Thats because the artwork was too awesome to read anything else.
Yeah, but People Can Fly didn't make those. As far as I know, they only made Painkiller: Black Edition, which is the good one.
Pretty much a given that this is the second game Cliff B. was going to reveal on Jimmy Fallon.......
That is all.
Just to clarify, this game is made by the company People Can Fly.
People Can Fly showed a demo to the EPIC execs and they were so impressed that they bought a majority stake in People Can Fly.
From what I read the game is a single player game which is a bit of a dissapointment in my opinion. I was hoping for a better Borderlands.
