Hope it's as fun as the game looks.

ACE! Downloading, can't wait to try on my lunch.

 

[bathala]

get.
downloading after crysis

 

[Mdk7]

Thanks for the link man!

 

[ConradCervantes]

Sweet.

 

[CozMick]

Is it a single player or co-op demo?

 

[burgerdog]

get.
downloading after crysis

Doing the opposite! I assume the Bulletstorm demo is an SP/Offline thing, so I can still download Crysis 2 while playing Bulletstorm.

 

[confuziz]

demo should be up on PSN as well today right?

 

[kuYuri]

demo should be up on PSN as well today right?

Yes.

 

[Snuggles]

Yes.

still got like 12 hours to go though, Xbros be laughing at us

I'll give it a shot. This might be fun, even though I don't really like anything I've read about it.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Thanks for the heads up. Downloading while I pucker my asshole in preparation.

 

[Darklord]

Wow, this is downloading so painfully slow. I'll try and let you know my impressions before the games launch at this rate.

 

[burgerdog]

Holy shit at the graphics.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Started the download about ten minutes ago, at 35% so far. HURRY UP!!!

Holy shit at the graphics.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

HELL YEAH ! downloading now

 

[burgerdog]

All the crazy text showing skillshots can be toggled on or off. Same for aim assist and aim lock.

YES!

 

[S1kkZ]

Holy shit at the graphics.

is that good or bad? i dont expect that the game looks as good as the trailers (which show the pc version). at 50% now...

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I haven't seen any videos of this, but the dev team is encouraging. Will check out later.

Yes that is good news

50% bring it on !
Can't wait

 

[Dabanton]

Damm you guys jealous as hell.

It's the thid revision to the UT3 engine. It is bound to look great. In fact, I bet this game will eat the graphics praise that otherwise would go towards Gears 3.

Well, Epic is co-developing it as well, and their bread and butter for the past five years has overwhelmingly been the 360. I'm sure they found a way to crank up the graphical fidelity to acceptable standards, even for PC types.

 

[burgerdog]

Let the game run for about 30 seconds at the press start screen to see what the new UE3 is all about.

edit
Oops, guys, while the text toggle is in the options. It seems to be locked to on for the demo only.

 

[Always-honest]

Downloading. Will post impressions at SOME point in time.. have to work.

 

[burgerdog]

Do not play this like a regular shooter. I did that during my first playthrough and came out unimpressed. Second time around I played it like PCF has been in all the trailers and it was so much fun.

 

[snap0212]

Damn it. Only for Gold Members. See, that's what you're getting when you give all the 48h codes away. Guess I'll have to wait until it releases on PSN.

 

[TheVampire]

Pretty fun demo
It was better the second time I replayed it.

Once you get the hand of it its pretty cool.

Graphics are superb

 

[Haunted]

No word of a PC demo? 360 one is Gold only? Will have a look on PSN then...

Feels like they're trying their best to keep me from playing this game. :lol

Listen to this person HAD the same experience tried to play this like Call of Duty and that is not how to play the game.
Just have fun and be creative.
Try the demo at least 5 times with different weapons and than you will see this game is amazing, a current gen painkiller .

 

[-tetsuo-]

Unreal Engine 3 is putting in work.

 

[Vinterbird]

48 hour code wouldn't help you in either case. They don't allow 48 hour people have access to Gold stuff.

Even worse. :/

Sony has to learn how to push that button earlier.

 

[S1kkZ]

looks great, plays and runs smooth, great improvements to the ue3 engine, game is bought.

 

[JoeFenix]

Is the demo up in Canada? I can't see it yet...

 

[burgerdog]

I wish they would have used an outdoor area in the demo. Saving the best for retail, I guess.

 

[Spookie]

Though I can't play very well with the controller this is a barrel of laughs. Totally and utterly batshit.

Can't wait for it's release!

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Just use the Link in the OT and download it to your xbox via the website than it does not matter where its up in the world you can always download it.

 

[burgerdog]

I put the link in the OP for a reason.

the level has its moments, but i am glad that they are saving the best for the full version.
perfect demo: introduces the gameplay mechanics, its short but with tons of replay value, doesnt show anything from the story mode.

The game definitely needed an intro like the one that was included in the demo. There will probably a be a lot of people who have never heard or seen the game that will download the demo and give it a spin. Proceed to play it like CoD and delete it in five minutes if they skip that intro.

 

[Spookie]

Man that charged pistol while in the air is fucking hysterical that's worth the £25 entry fee alone.

 

[Acidote]

I turned on my 360 after a LONG while to finally play something I might be interested in, only to be told I have to buy xbl gold to download it. Dind't they remove that shit?

Nah, pretty much every higher profile demo is gold only for a week or so.


Would be hilarious if the Bulletstorm demo on PSN is for PSN+ people only. :lol

Trust me, I wouldn't find it to be hilarious.

 

[Darklord]

Here is my impression of the demo.

- Looks great and runs smooth.
- Kill with skill helps it be different from normal shooters.
- Weapons seem fun enough so far.
- Would feel a lot better with a mouse/KB set up(but still ok on 360)
- What's the point of the other characters running around in this mode? Nothing.
- Why is there no jump button? Why to I have to press A to climb over everything like a third person shooter?
- I worry this game will turn into 'repeat same combo 50 times to get high score'
- Soundtrack is completely forgettable, not even a good action soundtrack.
- Dialog comes off as a bit try hard but is passable cheesy.
- Unique unlocks for the full game from playing the demo is pretty cool.
- It's fun.

7.5/10 for the demo.

I'll probably buy it but on PC. Maybe when it's a little cheaper depending on what the full version offers.

 

[Spookie]

Your score drops quickly if you keep using the same combo. Some are more effective against groups than others. I'm on my 7th play through and still discovering new skillshots.

 

[Gowans]

I really like this demo, the style and the way you have to string things together.

The icing on the top is the online leaderboard.

Demo becomes available to every non-Gold user after a period of 7 or 12 days I think.
