Poll: Bulletstorm, an end to the FPS slump?

[Onyx Oblivion]

I like Gears. I like Painkiller.

Epic People Can Fly

Take those 2 devs...You get my shooter heaven.

It looked like every other of the 100 FPS games shown at E3. YAWN!
Except it had an energy lasso (whoopee).

I'm not the guy to ask though. I can't stand FPS games so and IMO they are all the exact same game. I can never tell the difference as the main character is always a gun and the enemies/ environments always look the same. This really had no appeal to me.

What game did you like then? (just asking).

At E3? I was actually pretty disappointed overall. I was hoping for more variety than mostly FPS games. Here's hoping that the Tokyo Game Show will prove more fruitful.

Fallout: New Vegas (VATS makes shooting tolerable if you're wondering about the seeming disconnect) & Valkyria Chronicles 2, I'll pick those.

Maybe Knights in the Knightmare & Arcania: Gothic IV.

If my wife will lend me her DS:
Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals (remake of an old series I used to enjoy when I was a teen).

Again, E3 was disappointing.

I myself was hoping for news on Resi 6.

Resident Evil?
Only if they fix the horrible control scheme...

I hope Move works.

Looks a little too awesome. I didn't see anything in those trailers that was disappointing.

I want this game, I want it bad.

My opinion on the game: Fucking awesome - but I doubt it'll bring an end to the FPS slump, as you call it. One game is too little to manage that, but I'd be happy to be proven otherwise.

How the hell could I not have heard about this game until now?
- Crazy weapons
- Crazier abilities
- Dorky one-liners
- A full pallette of colors
- Not a smidge of 'realism' in sight
If this turns out as good as it looks we're in for a treat. The trailers and the gameplay footage I just watched have me grinning like a demented idiot here.

 

[Ninjamedic]

Anybody here have an idea on the release date?

My basic impression. I also found the characters nauseatingly tiresome, being rehashes of the same characters that appear in every other beefcake simulator.

This is the first FPS in a while that isn't trying to copy Halo or Call of Duty.

... Do you live under a rock? Just to name a few, how are Borderlands, Metro 2033, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Bioshock 2 or Left4Dead trying to copy Halo or Call of Duty?

Its like I'm a one stop shop for BulletStorm info.

 

[Ganthrinor]

I like the idea behind Bulletstorm. It takes the simple joys of ragdoll physics, explosions and inventive kill methods from "Idle Corpse Ravaging" to a formalized sport of sorts. Fucking. Awesome.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

After seeing screenshots and a gameplay demo I can honestly say I'm psyched. This is the first FPS in a while that isn't trying to copy Halo or Call of Duty.

It's made by People Can Fly, the developers behind Painkiller, so It could be a return to form for the Old-school FPS.

What do YOU think? Savior of the FPS? or another generic piece of Grey-brown Slop?

So THAT'S why it reminds me so much of Painkiller...
To be honest, it sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun and surprisingly deep.

Aren't the first four FPS/RPG's?

They are still FPS, they just include RPG elements... >_>
Actually, not completely sure with Metro... need to play that game more...

I was just referring off as FPS's that try to pass themselves as ""hardcore"".

 

[Imsety]

Hadn't heard of this game yet, so I looked up the trailer on YouTube.

And now, I'm having trouble wiping this huge grin off my face. Damn you!

...Short story even shorter, I'll be getting this on release. Time to break out the awesome, indeed.

 

[Mr. McFuzzers]

I can't wait for this game!
I hate realisim and it's shades of gray and brown.
I miss the days of Duke Nukem and Serious Sam and I think those days are coming back!
