Bulletstorm

Epic Games, People Can Fly and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today confirmed the development of Bulletstorm, a new original intellectual property from the teams behind the award-winning, multiple million-selling Gears of War, Unreal Tournament and Painkiller series of games. Set to release in 2011, Bulletstorm brings new furor to first-person shooter action with its signature ‘kill with skill’ gameplay, which is packed with blockbuster moments.

“Bulletstorm is the kind of game we love to make because it's pure, unadulterated entertainment,” said Epic Games President Dr. Michael Capps. “People Can Fly has created a wildly fun first-person shooter that looks gorgeous running on the latest Unreal Engine 3 technology, and the skillshot system is a welcome addition to the genre. We can’t wait to see how everyone reacts to seeing Bulletstorm.”

Bulletstorm tells the story of a futuristic confederation protected by an elite band of mercenaries: Dead Echo. When Dead Echo members Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato learn they've been working for the wrong side, they're betrayed by their commander and exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy. In Bulletstorm, Grayson and Ishi find themselves surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh eating gangs in an abandoned paradise. They have two objectives: get off the planet alive, and exact revenge on the man who sent them there.

Players step into the role of Grayson Hunt complete with an arsenal of over-the-top combat moves and outrageously large guns. Bulletstorm’s array of distinct ‘skillshots’ produces unprecedented levels of frantic gameplay and yell-inducing satisfaction. The skillshot system rewards players for inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collect to upgrade their character and unlock weapons, which then allows them to execute even more creative moves and exaggerated skillshots.

“We’re very excited to work with Epic Games and People Can Fly on this new project. The first time we laid eyes on Bulletstorm, we instantly knew this is going to be the next big hit from these two great studios delivering yet again an entirely new experience for shooter fans,” said Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA Partners, David DeMartini.

The combat is based around a "skillshot" system that awards players points for killing their targets creatively. The points are visible on screen, meaning that a headshot will cause a little "+50" to float above the victim's head after he's been dispersed. The article describes numerous types of kill combinations using the environment and executions. Players spend their accumulated points to upgrade Grayson's abilities.

Along with the guns, players have access to an energy whip that can be used to latch onto enemies and pull them closer, or it can be upgraded to slam into the ground and send helpless enemies into the air. Grayson also has a kick and a ground slide that also sends foes airborne. Each of these actions activates a bit of bullet-time that allows for more kills and more precise kills.

As for the guns, they can be upgraded using points as well, turning an average machine gun into something capable of firing 100 bullets in a single shot. The article also describes a "flail gun" which shoots two grenades tethered together by a chain. This odd projectile can wrap around cover, bind someone's limbs, or simply blow them to hell.

Despite the main character Grayson Hunt having a cyborg side kick named Ishi Soto there won't be co-op. People Can Fly has promised other online components that they aren't talking about that just yet. The Game Informer article closes out by describing a boss battle with an enemy likened to a giant venus fly trap, in which the developers talk about shooting for a scale comparable to Uncharted 2.

Amerika släpp den 22 feb, EU tror jag var den 25 feb.

Känner att spelet kan vara lite intressant, men är rädd att det blir alldeles för mycket.
Sedan påminner det lite om Borderlands känns det som, vilket var en katastrof i mina ögon.

Det är bara Multiplayer på detta spel va?

Precis det jag också tänkte fråga. Isf går det bort för min del då jag inte spelar online.

EDIT: det finns singleplayer-läge också

http://en.wikipedia....iki/Bulletstorm

hehe tänk att man behövde besöka wikipedia för att få veta att singeplayer också existerar Jag antar att man inte har lagt så mycket tid på den delen då all marknadsföring och videoklipp verkar fokusera starkt på multiplayer.

Jag vet inte jag fick en bild av det jag läst här och hört att det speciella med spelet är hur man dödar sin motståndare i multiplayer... att man kunde köra olika varianter och trixa... hur som helst, jag hade väl fel .

Jag har fått en bild av att allt som visats varit i singleplayer, och att fokus absolut varit på det.

Hmm jag uppfattade tvärtom att det handlar om co-op multiplayer. Ser ut så i alla klipp jag sett.

Menar du alltså co-op i olika challenges, eller i kampanjen? Det kan det ju såklart vara, men när jag tänker multiplayer tänker jag i princip deathmatch och sådana varianter, så det var det jag trodde alla menade

Om man är mer än en så är det väl ändå multiplayer

Jag fattar nog inte vad det här spelet går ut på Finns det en singleplayer kampanj där jag kan spela helt ensam eller inte?

Sååå... Hur var demot då? Har inte boxen uppkopplad till nätet så kan inte testa tyvärr.

Tyvärr finns ingen co-op, det sa de redan när de annonserade spelet :/

Jag tänker inte betala ett öre mer än 200 kr för det här. Hade passat som nedladdningsbart spel, känns lite väl mycket arcade.
