Sony Online announces new free-to-play FPS, Bullet Run
Sony Online Entertainment has revealed Bullet Run, a free-to-play first-person shooter due to be released on PC later this summer. Players are contestants in a near-future reality game show who must gun each other down with style to earn fame, which in turn unlocks new customization options. Up to twenty players will compete in either Team Deathmatch or "Dominion" game modes across six maps. Sounds to me like it's The Running Man, which I'm totally okay with. Developed by ACONY, Bullet Run sounds like it's attempting to keep pace with the multiplayer shooter genre with its feature list, which notes the thousands of possible accessory combinations for each weapon, an active reload mechanic and "Kill Skills," abilities and buffs earned through skilled play. You can register for the beta of Bullet Run right now on the game's official site, as well as check out a first trailer for the game. Could be fun, but I'm not ready to get too enthusiastic until we have a chance to give it a play. I think it's a safe bet we'll get that chance once E3 kicks off. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I wish someone would make a Running Man game based on the book and not the movie. What a fucking awesome open-world game that could be. So when is the F2P bubble going to burst?
Just how many FPS versions can co-exist before they start tearing each other's throats out or die of playerbase starvation? Sounds like The Club. Fucking loved that game. Wished it got a sequel. Hopefully they bring this to ps3. I wonder how much the club is now... When's the last time SOE put out a really great game? Payday was okay, DCU was competent, Free Realms was alright if you're into that type of game. Idk this has potential but I can't help but be skeptical when it comes to SOE. 8:00 AM on 05.23.2013 Dying Light is an open world, freerunning zombie gameOkay, take Dead Island's entire concept, subtract the role-playing mechanics, throw in freerunning features akin to Mirror's Edge, and set it all in an open world that features a day-and-night cycle where things become way ha...
