Epic Games (Unreal Tournament Series) and People Can Fly (Painkiller) collaborate to bring you Bulletstorm, which put players in the shoes of Grayson Hunt, formerly the leader of a black ops team named Dead Echo, now somewhat more pathetic as a drunken space pirate.

Expect brutally gore graphic ala GoW and mass monsters run-and-gun ala Painkiller to be out around next year.

Story


Gameplay


and in b4 icanhazco-op.png

We need more quicktime events, gears of war style.

And less thinking, I just want to abuse WASD, R, E, F and my mouse.

yeah sometimes nowadays games are too complicated liao.

back to the basics!

Old games much more complicated than newer games.

Less intuitive, gotta read a big manual to play a game.

*remembers classic quake*

w,a s,d = movement

mouse1 = shoot
mouse2 = jump.

CLASSIC!

Gameplay images are up !

Borderlands 2?

Well, we won't see any UE4 now and not until 2012.

I kinda miss painkiller, especially the stakegun and the the.....all the guns are great which i never get bored with !
Anyway, i like seeing the combo scores and its kinda like F.E.A.R with painkiller. As long there's more stuffs to shoot and more bullets to spare, im in.

woa.. that look awesome

Bulletstorm TGS Developer Commentary Trailer via Gameseyeview.com

Looks like the game that doesn't promote simple "Boom headshot" gore is finally arrive.

Latest news mention this game gonna powered by GFWL

I'll pass then.

Was looking forward to this.

News from which gaming website?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Games..._Windows_titles

here the box stated gfwl
http://www.examiner.com/video-game-news-in...e=27370826#main

GFWL = Epic fail?? but this video look badass

I just try out the demo on console, beside from the dumb down graphic setting, the game is superb.
Macam Borderland in UE3

Looks like the PC version comes with Games For Windows Live. Which is bad since I was thinking of getting a retail copy - I couldn't activate my copy of Fallout: New Vegas(apparently you can only activate it in Singapore or any other GFWL supported country.

Er.....I thought Fallout 3 ? New Vegas uses Steam though. D:

Vegas DOES use Steam. But it uses GFWL at the same time just like Dawn of War II.
The shitty thing is, Microsoft has a say in region locking - which is completely absurd.

bro are u sure FNV uses GFWL? i have a retail box copy too, but not yet open
i checked several forums before purchase, pretty sure it uses Steamworks only.

anyway, Games for Windows =/= Games for Windows Live

f*** yeah , kicking the badguys .. ripping them apart

If it has GFWL, the MP will fail automatically.

GFWL?tht's a disappointmen....guess i'll go for the PS3

I think u the 1 sesat. Last time tsb masuk wrong region stok, they been pulling out their stok and exchange or the right copy. 2nd, gfwl doesn't exist is Malaysia, so just set to SG.
I got pretty much alot gfwl games at my PC doesn't seem region lock also. I just dunno where your theory come from and its not right spread false rumor

Yeah well it says GFW instead of GFWL at the top of the CD casing.


Sorry, it wasn't in my intention to spread false rumours. If your GFWL games on the pc don't have any region lock, could it be games that have GFW but still run under Steam?

GFWL on PC doesnt have region lock (only few number of games in GFWL store are region lock, nobody care about it as it was rubbish game), Steam game does, but u cant even see nor buy games that are already region lock (without proper region hax).
Steam retail games also has region lock but that only happen if local retailer get wrong region stok, usually doesnt happen.

I think you are confused.

If a game has Games for Windows, it just mean, it's a game for PC. Thats all, with certain Microsoft guidelines implemented, like the game must have widescreen support. It also mean, no GFWL.

On the other hand, if a game has Games for Windows LIVE, it's a completely different story, as the game will use GFWL online system. Time for whole lot of annoyance.Such as the pictures below:




Note that there is a LIVE word on the box.

GFWL games does have region lock, but it's quite easy to get around it.

http://www.destructoid.com/bulletstorm-pc-...on-192844.phtml


Why you do this EA

No it isn't confirmed. The lead dev tweeted it is not needed for offline play. Only for installation and online play.


Adrian Chmielarz

Not like i care about this Shitstorm game.

The PC support is gonna be awful anyway.

Does Batman:AS even have multiplayer?
If that's the case then my supplier brought in the wrong copy for the region.

It runs on the Unreal Engine 3 so it has to be somewhat optimised for PCs like Unreal Tournament 3/Bioshock?
Disregarding PC optimisation, the game looks like a fresh change from the other grim dark gritty military shooters - I wish the gameplay would be of a faster pace since I like arena shooters.

No, Batman doesnt have MP.

Not sure which form of DRM Batman is using.

Im not talking about optimisation. I mean things like post shipping support.

GFWL is a pain to patch, and it also mean that it will not have dedicated servers. Have fun finding games with GFWL.

Im also quite bored with military shooters, but Bulletstorm does not seem to be worth buying for me, as the MP would probably be dead. Thats why im waiting for Brink instead and hope it is not screwed up.

GFWL wasnt that bad if u have friends to play with
is 4 player co-op in anarchy mode, why do need dedicated server anyway, my 1MB line can support 4 players very well

the campaign wont have any co-op though, 4 player co-op only available in Anarchy mode

on the other hand, i send mail to tsb regading retail copy

"Hello,

Bulletstorm requires online authentication / registration. We will
only sell it after it is confirmed it works in Malaysia."

I guess they pretty scare after case like Fallout:New Vegas.

In term of graphic memang PC will be better, i played the demo on console then compare with PC video trailer...

snap

need dedicated server for online MP. we dont buy games for co-op.

I dunno if this a correct place to post, as i confuse myself.

Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm is a parody game based on the Call of Duty series developed by the Bulletstorm team

http://www.bigdownload.com/games/duty-call...alls-free-game/

since this is a Bulletstorm thread,its ok i guess..i played the parody game..pretty hilarious(provided u already played COD MW2)..dont wanna spoil anything..download it n see for urself..its about 700MB in size

If any of you are looking to get Bulletstorm from GamersGate, make sure you buy it from GamersGate UK as the price is much cheaper.

BulletStorm US | -10% | $53.99
Bulletstorm UK | -14% | £29.95

I expect local to be cheaper, should be around RM139, judging the price released for console.

Might get it wee bit later in steam, looks like steam will put it up after release.

hard to say since Gears of War never made it to steam

That's because Gears of War is published by Microsoft, which doesn't have anything on Steam at all.

Strange, I thought it is developed by Epic and PCF, and publish by EA ?

The boot kicks in the bulletstorm vids reminds me of the fond memories of Duke Nukem.

I think its time to support back local retail store, instead of supporting all digital.... we are codemming local retail game store if keep supporting digital format..

Buy Bulletstorm, Get Gears Of War (One) Free
Newsby Adam Biessener on February 17, 2011 at 06:05 PM 375 Views 6

But only on PC, and only on the least gamer-friendly storefront out there. Microsoft's Games for Windows Live Marketplace is running a deal from Bulletstorm's February 22 launch through March 8.

Is this going to be enough to get you to use GFWLM over other digital or physical retailers? While I like free stuff, Microsoft has a long way to go to make me not find GFWL or its M intrusive and abhorrent.

On the other hand, free stuff…

…if you somehow haven't played Gears of War yet.

[via Joystiq]

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive...r-one-free.aspx

Is it available for other regions eg. UK, Singapore and etc?

Malaysia isn't selectable in GFWL anyways.

not sure, its release in 22 feb, so we have to wait and see
using CC will be a headache, i will use MSpoints to buy instead

OMG..get a phone call from Youbeli inform me that they cannot ship this game tomorrow because have some problem...something like "not available in this region". They tell me have to wait 4-5 days...maybe have maybe don't/

Check youbeli website...they already "take out" this game, I mean the PC version...no more in the website already...
Can anybody tell me what hell happen?

This post has been edited by AdamNg: Feb 21 2011, 07:00 PM

Waiting local distributor to test work on not on launch day. If it work, baru they start sell.

Test what?

Demo to appear on PC after the actual game is released.

http://www.gametrailers.com/news/bulletsto...-launching/3043

GFWL = no nice multiplayer = not buying

It's amazing that people still want to buy this dead multiplayer game to be, despite all the horrifying crap GFWL done.

Odd. Its not on Steam..?

It's a region lock game, that is only available for GFWL countries.

Another assumption without basis. Can we have more of these please? This place isn't filled with enough of your baseless rants about GFWL. On a game that has is going to be released in a day in the states no less.

Either that or go back to your DoW2 thread and QQ there.

Great News Guys !

Bulletstorm GFWL version is officially confirmed by TSB to be working in Malaysia.
It is coming this 1st March !

Anyway, this game got great reviews even on PC !

Gamers Gate has it for a slight discount, I don't think I can wait for steam version.

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-BSUS/bulletstorm

TSB sell RM139 only..more cheaper

Baseless rant? Check the GFWL forums and see how pleasant is this thing. Just because you are not having problems, doesnt mean GFWL is even acceptable. Thats a reason why Steam refuse to sell this on non GFWL supported countries, because it's just incredibly annoying if something went wrong.

Im not sure whether this game runs on SSA or non SSA DRM, SSA will give a lot of problem if you set the wrong region. Have fun with it.

It is a great thing that DoW2 dumped this piece of shit. 10 incremental patches are always way better than 1 giant patch in 1 months.

demo after the launch? awww...

Region lock...Booooooooooo. Sucks big time..
I hope it comes to Steam someday and with a nice discount.

No it's not.Just because it's GFWL doesn't mean it's region locked game.
Region locked game is always XBOX "way of life" but not GFWL.
TSB confirm the game work in Malaysia and is coming this 1st March.

It will.But the retail version will be the first in Malaysia.

@Cheesenium

It is confirmed Bulletstorm GFWL is shipped with SSA and ZDP and is confirmed to work in Malaysia by TSB and is coming this 1st March.
In fact, even the official developer post a little hints on getting this game to work in non-LIVE supported countries.

This post has been edited by leonhang: Feb 23 2011, 09:30 PM

SSA is better IMO, as you are not stuck to one account.

It will work, with no doubt. The thing is, there is no official support, where when you have problem, it's very annoying to fix. Like ran out of activations for SSA games. The solution is: Call Microsoft at Redmond to reactivate your game. Someone actually did that before, with international call.

It will be better if GFWL drop all these region classification and get rid of this annoying DRM.

1 thing i really hate about retail...

lambat release

uncertain arrival date

Yes except EA-published games.

Bulletstorm GFWL isn't confirm to work in Malaysia until today.
TSB was afraid that it doesn't work in Malaysia as it is the first EA official published game that uses GFWL with the new ZDP system, a system that apparently make many developers happy as even if any of ZDP game is leaked, it is not crackable until official release date (while 360 and PS3 versions got leaked and are playable one week ago) and hence TSB took out the Bulletstorm GFWL page until today.

@Cheesenium I agree with you and I think ZDP should be the standard in GFWL future releases.

This post has been edited by leonhang: Feb 23 2011, 09:53 PM

somehow this game is rock,new way to killing

some of my screenshot

@Dubl1n Great to know !
Now waiting for my retail version.
How's the performance anyway? how's the installation?

Do you buy this game via Steam or EADM?

This post has been edited by leonhang: Feb 24 2011, 12:00 AM

I don't see your comment having anything to do with region lock or DRM. But rather, you're saying that the multiplayer will be dead due to GFWL. Which is utterly baseless.

A forum is already mostly a place you look and register for TO REPORT PROBLEMS AND SEEK HELP. Obviously most of the people on the official or even steam forums are going to be the ones complaining. I dare you to find a subforum in the Steam official forums and find a board that doesn't contain complaints on any game.

If GFWL isn't acceptable it shouldn't even be made in the first place. It is acceptable and people have been accepting it since its inception. That's why it's still surviving. To you, perhaps, it isn't acceptable, but don't push that notion onto others, especially with such baseless claims on a constantly improving platform that you, like me, have limited experience with.

On my second post, i said about the region problem. Dont put words inside my mouth.

Bulletstorm is a damn good game,but i refuse to get it.

I am here to warn other people on the potential problems of this GFWL game.

I have seen lots of complains on other games, that does not have as ridiculous complains as a GFWL game, like someone found out he lost access to a GFWL game because he format regularly or someone bought a GFWL game in UK, and found out he cant play his new SSA DRM game in US. Ubisoft's DRM is pretty bad, not as close as what the worst GFWL can offer. That is the reason why Steam refuse to sell any GFWL on non supported region after so many horror stories of people lost access to their games. I used to read a lot on DiRT 2 forums, and Dawn of War 2 forums,mind you.

Someone took 3 months to talk to Microsoft directly to regain access to his GFWL non SSA game.

Also, tell me does anyone still actively playing Bioshock 2 or GTA4 multiplayer? I dont remember hearing anyone playing those mentioned game online, other than single player.

GFWL is unacceptable, if not, why would Relic rewrite the entire netcode for a 2 year old Dawn of War 2? It's extremely troublesome to do so, and an old game wont get as much profit as a brand new game. Or why Bioshock, Dirt 2 or GTA4 isnt even known for it's multiplayer? The reason is simple, because the whole system is not as good as other offerings. At the same time, it gives a lot of problems to gamers like the infamous Sign in Change problem that some people have. The lack of any official documentation on how the DRM works made it even worse, which is why companies like EA are writing long blog post to explain to gamers on how some of their game's DRM work.

I have a fair amount of experience of this multiplayer system,and yea, the multiplayer is pretty much a wasteland in a lot of cases. Xbox LIVE is very good, but GFWL is just like an alpha version of Xbox LIVE that barely work. The garbage NAT and it's netcode made it hard to use. The thing i hate the most is, despite GFWL is so buggy, Microsoft has made no effort to improve it. There is a new store, but other than that, are there any improvement on the netcode?

GFWL works pretty reasonably if you play with friends, but with the random public, this system is a complete nightmare. Playing DoW2 Last Stand is pretty good with friends, but with the random people in DiRT2, yea, you are pretty much racing with 1 to 2 people out of 8 slots.

Read the spoiler, these are just some of the worst thing i ever heard about GFWL. DiRT 2 is a SSA game, and if im not wrong, it was the first. There arent any documentations,warnings or text at all, and people got locked out from their game. It's not a game on Steam offer, it's a brand new just released game that people bought at full price.

Bulletstorm is also a SSA game, so be careful when you register for a new account.

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/dir...le-my-game.html

I do agree that the SSA b****ing has toned down, but there are still no documentations at all.

The region lock issue exist since 2008, and Microsoft havent even fix this. I have 3 GFWL accounts, also because of this problem as the other 2 is region locked.

http://forums.gamesforwindows.com/t/102.aspx
http://forums.gamesforwindows.com/p/9973/90691.aspx

I cant find the thread on that terrifying support calls with GFWL support, though.

Heard 4.0 is coming, i do hope they will do something about that region lock issue.

This post has been edited by Cheesenium: Feb 24 2011, 01:09 AM

Yes it will.In fact, GFWL just updated to 3.4 now.
I remember it was 3.3 so probably some minor changes.

ON TOPIC: I'm still waiting to get my hands on this game.

This post has been edited by leonhang: Feb 24 2011, 11:29 AM

U already PO or buy from retailer?

Now the reason why some of those games you mentioned are not known for multi player is that primarily they are geared toward the single player experience. In the same way most people just play dead space 2 for the single player, most people will not bother with the MP because, it's just not that good. There's not much of a meta game built around the online communities of GTA4 (which was a bad port resource hogging port anyway) or bioshock 2 (we need another online FPS?), so people don't tend to try to stick around to get good at those games because there are better online experiences elsewhere. Blaming GFWL for people not playing mediocre online experiences is a new and interesting argument to me.

Dirt 2 did in fact have a very healthy online community for many months after it was released. I pugged Dirt 2 and i managed to get a lot of 8 player games.. yes with randoms.. up to 6 months from the date it was released. Now, i know you're one of those starving students who only buys games when they're reduced by 90% on steam a year after they were released, but what do you expect when people have moved on to other games?

In spite of GFWL, SF4 managed to be a pretty decent online experience with a community that stayed around. I did not play DOW2 online much because i moved on to other games but i had a few online games here and there and it was an overall good experience. I guess you must be trolling since by your own admission Bulletstorm is a damned good game but you're not getting it because you're incapable of having fun with any one of your games tied to GFWL.

I do agree that regional locking sucks, but to an extent they have fixed that by not letting people create GFWL accounts with regional settings from a non supported locale. Surely it's not that difficult to enter a US/UK/SG email address.

To be honest.... Just by the look of the gameplay, it does seem interesting.. It looks like Just cause 2 to me... Cause it has the hook like thingy on his left hand. Graphic looks stunning and well detailed. Might be getting it if possible.

Alright guys, I played it for awhile. Bought the key from my supplier.

The game itself is practiclly a Fancy Duke Nukem, the kill with skill thing is not something to shout about since once you memorize eveything in the stage you know what to expect. Its basicly a arcade shooter on steroids, imagine Borderlands with but you get to play around with your enemies, from shooting their balls off and kicking them off a mountain. SP is filled with jokes and nice backgrounds, something refreshing from the usual COD gamplay. Sadly its the only thing worth looking at in the game. MP from what i heard is a combo fest gone wrong. Nothing to special as you compete with each other to score points. If you like playing SP games for the sake of having fun, then this game is a decent buy, expect this to be on par with Duke Nukem when it comes out.

Oh, yeah, i sell cd keys now~

How much?

Awesome, glad that I bought it in Gamers Gate.

I am selling the bulletstrom CD key for RM 110. Grab them while their hot~
