Bulletstorm, by People Can Fly

[jonks]

I would argue that the 4 games you listed offer a much more challening experience than modern shooters however, so while they don't require vast battle knowledge and strategy, you need extremely quick reflexes and core shooter skills. Most of the new shooters just require you to take cover for a few seconds any time you get in over your head.

Regenerative health/cover systems redefined the modern shooter, for better and for worse. A return to old school Dm/Quake/SS/DNF, at least the option to play such titles, is sorely needed. Fpss don't all have to be uber realistic and gritty.

I totally agree...

I was semi-interested in this back when there seemed like a shortage of good FPS games to play. Since then, I bought MOH and COD :BO, neither of which I played very much over the new content released for BFBC2.
Of the new titles appearing soon, I prefer looking in to Homefront, Crysis 2 and Brink over this more console'y looking title.
Not to mention all of the stuff I stocked up on during the holiday Steam sales, including ME2, Batman AA, and Just Cause 2.

This just in: Cliffy B is an ass.

To rip a comment straight from reddit: Cliffy, anytime you have to say "this group of people we want buying from us are mad because we didn't do this completely reasonable thing that they wanted" that doesn't make you funny, and it doesn't increase sales. It shows that you're an asshole who needs to hire a fucking PR person/company. I swear, Twitter should be renamed to "Public Relations Disaster Theater".

I will probably not buy Bulletstorm. Which is fine, it's probably not gonna be as good as Painkiller was.

Looks like EA has given people a good reason not to buy the game

They are going to use the same type of always on DRM that ubisoft does for their PC games now.

Glad I wasn't much interested in this to start with.

Looks like it's actually not using the "always connected" drm. It states it is needed in the EA store but must be a misprint.

Been reading up on Bulletstorm and it appears that it'll end up being a flop with the pc community. I'm reading it uses GFWL and many disapprove.

Hey look, there's a demo out for this! Oh wait, it's Xbox & PS3 only. OK I'll get it on my Xbox. "You need a gold membership to download this 'free' demo". LOL no thanks.

There's too much fail associated with this game to be worth my time.

I've recently been playing Painkiller, and really enjoying it. It's a pity Bulletstorm has network activation because that means I'm going to hold off on it until it's dirt cheap.

Regardless of any DRM they put in it, GFWL is enough of a deterrent by itself for me not to purchase this game.

Epic's should've left PCF alone to do their thing instead of injecting infantile crap into the game. Painkiller is a modern classic in its gametype, and it has a combination of seriousness and hilarity without being self-consciously "LOL!!!1" about it.

Hopefully the gameplay will make up for it. Is there any data about FoV, mouselag, PC interface etc?

They do this a lot. It'll come to silver members eventually, but it's a gold exclusive first. I also think this is more to do with MS and Live than the game itself... so I wouldn't take this as a hit against the game. I mean there's plenty of other things to be disappointed in, but this one isn't the games fault.
