BulletStorm - Official Thread

While I really love Sci-Fi games and agree wholeheartedly that the WW2/Dads Army stuff has been well and truly one to death, this looks purile.
I always preferred Quake to UT, the best analogy I can give is Quake is a Golf GTI, UT a Golf Diesel with a nasty bodykit, alloy wheels and a ludicrous stereo, i.e. slower, tacky and loud.
This looks like a consolised UT with even more rubbish pointlessly tacked on. By the time RAGE and Brink arrive everyone will have forgotten it.


I look forward to being wrong though. :D
 
There seem to be some issues with the GFWL implementation in this game. You're required to have an online account - no offline play, even for single player, and some users just can't get the game to login to GFWL at all.

Horses for courses, while I loved quake 1and2 I did not get into quake 3, the fps that really did it for me was UT, did you mean UT 2003 & 2004 etc as Original UT is often in top 5 games on these very forums.

I will find out very soon what BS is like but I think it will be the coop mode that will really shine.

I gave the first one a good thrashing though got absorbed into the whole Q3 thing and after that found the whole UT thing wasn't for me, as you quite rightly say though, horses for courses :), i'll give the demo a go but i'm not expecting too much, it's always good to be found wrong in situations like this though, good PC games=win for all of us.
 
An article on Ars Technica talks about issues with the PC edition of Bulletstorm, the just-released first-person shooter from Epic Games and People Can Fly. This offers some gripes about the PC edition of the game, talking about unreadable text after switching to widescreen mode, lack of in-game graphics adjustments, a framerate lock, the use of Games for Windows LIVE, and more. The good news is they describe how many of these issues can be addressed by messing around in the .ini files, which they describe as "weakly encrypted." They don't actually give details on what to change or how, but say: "The various unofficial forums online have great advice for different video card set-ups. Don't look for critical thoughts on the PC version on the official site, however, as those are getting locked," but a later article offer more tangible suggestions.

I don't like it the graphics are dated feels like a serious sam rip off too.
Rubbish console FOV probably 65.
 
The game is fun, but the mouse control is ****ing god awful. Like seriously god awful.

When I zoom in, my sensitivity seems to get higher for some reason instead of lower, no clue why, mouse just feels like ass. It's horrible.

You only just noticed? 1 of the gameplay things a while back basically showed you using a direct rip off of the Serious Cannon.
 
saw the ign video review. While I admit the odd adult joke is to be welcomed the ammount of times this game fits the word "dick" into the dialogue is just a fail.
