Bulletstorm 2.22.11, Screenshots

[hal]

A street date for Bulletstorm - 2.22.11 - along with a load of colorful new screenshots and art renders (2, noted).

Epic Games, People Can Fly and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today revealed the ship date for Bulletstorm, a hot new original property that has already topped many 'Most Anticipated' lists at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2010. Set to release on February 22, 2011, Bulletstorm is a blood symphony that combines outrageous gunplay with unique kick, slide and leash mechanics. Players learn to 'kill with skill' as they slaughter waves of mutated enemies to rack up points and unlock weapons.

Set in a futuristic utopia, an elite peacekeeping force thwarts the rumblings of civil war. But deception within the ranks has caused two members of the most feared unit, Dead Echo, to strike out on their own. Now, washed-up mercenaries, Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato, are stranded on the abandoned paradise planet of Stygia surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh-eating gangs. They survive on two objectives: get off the planet alive and exact revenge on the man who sent them there.

Taking on the role of Gray, players perform over-the-top combat moves with some of the most uniquely innovative weapons ever seen in a first-person shooter. Every enemy presents a new opportunity for stylish and ever increasingly bloody ways to take them down. The game's signature 'skillshot' system guarantees unprecedented levels of frenetic gameplay rewarding players for inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collect to upgrade and unlock weapons, which in turn allows them to execute even more inventive moves and exaggerated skillshots.

The game looks really fun to play.

However I want them to use multiple colour palettes. Not just Orange and Teal. Or Brown and Gray. There exists other colours than that. Please. Everything I've seen right now is Orange and Teal, and while it's a bit better on the eyes than Brown and Gray, it can still be much improved.

Feels serious. Althought palette is not as repeatable as in the previous set, some actual diversity of setting would be nice.

This looks like loads of fun!!

Looking good and fun.

Although the currents screens suffer from one fact: They look too close to the previous screens we got. Not enough diversity, IMHO.
I hope the final game will have more settings, colors and environments.

But I will get excited when I know about what kind of multiplayer they have implemented.

And the whole "kill with skill" thing is to be taken with a grain of salt ... in my experience my definition of "skill" differs from those of console-player when it comes to games for the masses.

This, Gears 3 and Dead Space 2 were the only things I liked/loved from yesterday's E3.
This is all the good ol' FPS games rolled into one. Looking completely forward to playing it - I don't care about the environments/graphics, just give me the gameplay.
