Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood won’t be light on grit and story if we take the last few teaser trailers released by Ubisoft at face value. However, if we did take the teasers literally, we wouldn’t have much of a game to anticipate -- snappy Wild West one-liners, hard-boiled vixens, and icy stares don’t combine to make a great title. There simply needs to be something else that ties the aforementioned elements together.

Considering Bound in Blood is a shooter, that missing factor is the gunplay. Good news is that Call of Jaurez will have guns and you’ll be able to do things with them. Bad news is that the trailer (available after the jump) proving the good news is much too short for our tastes.

In the teaser you’ll see some dual-revolver action coupled with some sort of bullet-time system, as well as chainguns and cannons. Hell, you’ll even catch a glimpse of a possible cooperative or escort element as well if you pay enough attention. Check it out and tell us what you think. (Cannon is totally FTW territory.)
