Quantcast



In this developer walkthrough, Epic's Tayna Jessen walks you through a little over three minutes of completely bats**t Bulletstorm gameplay. You want to watch it.

If it looks familiar, it's because it's the demo that Epic and People Can Fly gave at gamescom. We posted that video online, but this one is a bit higher-quality, and you get hear Jessen's lovely commentary and development anecdotes. Did you know that Cliff Bleszinski always wanted a four-barrel shotgun in one of the Unreal games? It never happened, but here you have it in Bulletstorm. Because, you know, it's the kind of game that's just begging to feature a four-barreled shotgun. (Question: Aren't all games?)

Bulletstorm is out next year for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. I want it now.

This game takes the "just another shooter" argument and kicks it directly into a malfunctioning generator.

Well it makes sense. If a double-barreled is better than single, than a quadruple-barreled shotgun must be 4x as awesome as a regular shotgun.

Just another shooter. Just another game.
Just another useless comment.

As much as I want this game now I want it to be ten times longer than that level so I want them too make it really long with lots of MINDLESS shooting. (and more awesomeness would be a nice touch)

I'm with Bolduk. Almost 2 decades later and we're still playing Wolfenstein/Doom/Quake.

Color me bored.

I liked it, for those of us that like ganes where you just run around shooting and blowing stuff up without having to be all tactical about it, it looks great.
I knew about it but wasn't that interested until that trailer, and its now on the list.

For the haters, if you don't like it, don't play it ;)

Please come back when you've developed a) a sense of humor and b) a sense of fun.

Bolduk and Braunmeister being trolls?

I don't know about you, but I haven't really seen shooters like this for a few years. It's mainly been of the Halo and CoD variety.

If this was a PS3 exclusive, fans would be pissing their pants on how good it looks.

Eh, I don't think this is the game for me. Maybe it will prove me wrong when it comes out, but this walkthrough just doesn't intrigue me.

This video should have just been someone screaming "Four Barreled SHOTGUUUUUUUUN!" for three minutes straight with no game footage shown whatsoever.

Again, express your opinion and you get called juvenile. Graphics look great, set pieces look great, but why do I get the feeling that air juggling those mutants is going to get very boring very quick?

I'm sure I'll be called names as well, but this clip wasn't that great...I mean, it was 3+ minutes of the player-character moving through a level, shooting the exact same enemy type over & over again in similar fashion. Granted, they introduced some different gameplay elements - air juggling, some sort of grapple beam, etc...but the action seemed like every other shooter with a few tweaks. Maybe that's enough for most people.

The background events looked cool (as did the final boss), but the banter between yourself and the NPC was awful. And did anyone else notice how she was invulnerable to the car that exploded right next to her? (Haha, yes, I know it's a work in progress.)

I am not very "wowed" by this. It just looks like another shooter that has aliens but they added a blue penis that comes out of your arm and grabs stuff. Also the points popping up makes it look really arcadey. And the "witty" banter sounds like a middle schooler thought it up. Nothing very innovative in my opinion.

I recently just beated Doom 3 and RoE and this seems strangely familiar.

I dunno, despite the large, sensational environments and great art design with a few cool gameplay twists and cutscenes, I started to realize not much has changed in gameplay design in terms of making it "awesome-er" from the past six years.

I had enough run and gun action to last the rest of this year and probably into the next one, thanks anyways Epic.

Call me when you fixed your shit with UT4, thats a run-and-gun game I want.

I just can't get over the line, "Yum Yum! Blaster juice!" It's soooo bad! I still can't believe someone at Epic was able to get Steve Blum to read those lines.

Gameplay looks pretty cool, though: Loving the grapple hook and the slo-mo boots. Having a four-barreled shotgun that shoots air bursts is awesome. I can see Chigurh just wishing he had that gun just so he can figure out how to make it silenced.
