E3 2010: Bulletstorm Hands-On

[DigitalSushi]

I get the feeling this game will be like Max Payne, so over the top in its stupidity mixed with suddenly trying to be serious for emotional context that it actually becomes playfully endearing.

Bulletstorm's cel-shaded graphics help fuel the goofy good time.

Eh, it's not cel-shaded.

It is partly, there's some definite flat shading ala Cel, but there's a ton of bloom too.

I wouldn't have guessed someone would be ready to rip off madworld this early.

That kind of seems like Madworld, doesn't it?

Well, I guess you could say that the Skill Shot thing is kinda similar, but at the same time... It's a first person shooter. I doubt it's gonna be that much of a rip off.

I hope it will have some measure of a plot and character development sounds good, but I don't think that we will get a profound plot that makes us think about our lives.

But I could be surprised

I feel The Club tried this a while back and faded without trace, I think mainly thru not being marketed right, it was a fun arcade style FPS where you pretty much did points runs, by running thru a level, getting bonuss for head shots and chains of speedy kills.

However, this seems to be doing it with style, and if Painkiller showed anything, its that People Can Fly know how to make FPS about fun over realism.

I trust PCF to make this great, and just hope EA don't get too much creative control over it

Last thing we need is an in game store where you can buy Nike trainers for your character for real money, and in game ads featuring David Beckham.

Who exactly does this guy think he's kidding?

Ive been looking forward to this ever since ive seen the trailer.

Its a game that lets you kick back and let your inner sadist take over for a while.

Im buying it to blow of some steam by playing explosive bowling with some mooks.

Bulletstorm's cel-shaded graphics help fuel the goofy good time.

Eh, it's not cel-shaded.

Thats what i thought!

Cartoon stylized 3d perhaps but definitely not cel shading

Ok, ok, I misspoke. It's not cel shaded.

What platforms? I didn't catch that at the EA conference and didn't see it anywhere else. Hope it will be out for the PC, it was one of the few games that piqued my interest in this E3.

From the amazing team that brought us Painkiller brings us a game where shooting someone in the nadgers once they've been airborne and blowing their body into a cactus awards you points. This seems quite the natural transition to me, after the countless time spent trying to pin as many enemies as possible to the wall with a sharpened tree.

Feb. 11? Awwww that's way too long! I long for such a game right now.

Ain't likely Australia will get to.

Import, it's oh so delicious.

 

[Sparrow]

I'm definately getting the game, if not just because of the stupid, yet twistedly witty dialogue.

"I do not speak train!"

 

[crobulator]

Well you all enjoy it!

in Bulletstorm the object is to bring the pain as creatively as possible.

Ain't likely Australia will get to.

Laws be damned. Nothing will stop me from getting this.

i second this if it gets banned i will just import it
