First Official Bulletstorm Gameplay Trailer Released!

[SuperAlgae]

I like the style and that there appears to be a strong focus on fun (seems obvious, but a lot of games somehow miss that).

... though something seems off about the girl. She sort of looks like a mannequin.

I think they stated somewhere that there wouldn't be a co-op mode because you wouldn't want your friends stealing your kills.

Yes. It's mentioned in Video Game Informer magazine (I think) or at least the magazine in which the first screenshots of the game surfaced. Having a game that doesn't have co-op nowadays seems to be really problematic.

Games like Bioshock, Fallout and Mass Effect seems to hold that off pretty well, but when it comes to games like this, you better have co-op or else..

It's like picturing Fallout 3 with VATS in co-op. That would be awful.
This also applies for the kill system in Bulletstorm I suppose.

Don't you really get the feeling that co-op is something they are going to hit us with later, since the game looks 'made for co-op' with some of the scenes shown of 2 players battling a boss and so on?

I don't know where I read the suggestion that there would be no co-op, and it seems to be accepted that this is the case, I'm just not sure that's the impression I have from what I've seen.

I think epic have another massive hit on their hands though.

You have an AI partner, which makes the lack of a co-op mode even more eyebrowraisingworthy (wtfh... did I type that?).

 

[Northrawn]

Yeah, BS, what a silly name/abbreviation.

Make it BuSt then.

To quote my brother: "It's like Tony Hawk's Pro Shooter."

Who knows, maybe that made it on their list before they went for "Bulletstorm".

 

[UBerserker]

I wonder how the slides work. The one in the video goes just for a lot of metres. Not even in Castlevania the characters were able to do that.

Not too far off I guess.

Wait, so there's no co-op? I don't care how fun the game is, if it has no multiplayer then it's worthless to me. Dead game.

 

[UBerserker]

There's Multiplayer, with currently no info about it.

 

[JohnDoe641]

I hope so, a game without any multiplayer doesn't last very long. I checked wikipedia and it didn't mention multiplayer, I didn't see any articles mentioning it either.

 

[elmuerte]

Multiplayer is overrated. There are enough multiplayer games out there, I rather have a solid and fun single player game rather than the same old deathmatch games with different levels, weapons and enemies.

UT3 had multiplayer and it didn't last very long.

If you make a somewhat decent game known, people will stick to it for a long time. Multiplayer is the player's gathering, there's still a lot of people playing Bioshock here and there, but yes, a game that has no multiplayer can get curb stomped especially if it doesn't have any replayability.

There's no reason for them not to include an SDK.

Unreal
Half-Life
Half-Life 2
Deus Ex
Duke Nukem 3D
Doom
Portal
Gears of War
Max Payne
System Shock 2

All known for their Single-Player.

 

[elmuerte]

But what does it matter that a small group keep playing a multiplayer game?
While they're playing that game, they're not buying other games.

Anyway, not having co-op in a fun packed game like this is really a shame. Serious Sam in co-op on the highest difficulty setting is a blast.
