Bulletstorm demo blows up Jan. 25 on Xbox Live, PSN

@Lincoln I think you're confusing this with Dead Space 2, which releases on the same day as this demo.

@baby sea tuna That's horrible. I always feel embarrassed when I hear that crap going on. Just stay on that mute button!

@Co

I would love to see the percentage of posts by you that are NOT douchey.

@Co
MAG, Killzone3, Resistance 3. Vs. Halo and....I guess just halo. Pretty much every other FPS out there is a multi-platform game.

@Vcize
SKILLSHOT:
SICK BURN +150

LISTWAR!

Looking solely at my library of 360 console exclusives:
Non FPS - Ace Combat 6, Alan Wake, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Beautiful Katamari, Blue Dragon, Chromehounds, Crackdown, Culdcept Saga, Dead or Alive 4, Dead Rising, Earth Defense Force 2017, Fable II, Fable III, Forza Motorsport 3, Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Guilty Gear 2, Halo Wars, Infinite Undiscovery, LOTR Battle for Middle Earth II, Kameo, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, Lips, Lost Odyssey, Lost Planet Colonies, Magna Carta II, Mass Effect, Namco Museum, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, Naruto: The Broken Bond, Ninja Gaiden II, The Outfit, Project Gotham Racing 3, Project Gotham Racing 4, Project Sylpheed, Ridge Racer 6, Splinter Cell Conviction, Too Human, Tropico 3, Viva Pinata, Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise, WarTech: Senko No Ronde.

FPS - Condemned, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, Metro 2033, Perfect Dark Zero, Prey, Shadowrun

So that's 41 to 8 in favour of non-FPS games, all in all about 84% of my library of 360 exclusives aren't first person shooters. It's not a perfect sampling, but I hope it gave you your answer.

@Epoque

Too bad a bunch of those games aren't exclusive

@Cleric Right, because not getting a free demo qualifies you to throw away hundreds of peoples years of work on a torrent that does not compensate them.

@Danthaman

Right because someone who's being treated like a second-class consumer shouldn't get access to the same thing as the other consumers.

@Danthaman

You're definitely spoiled or just don't game on the PC's to know the deal.

@thyodyssey I game on PC. My steam name's this: Dan The Man. I personally think that it is unfair to the developers when EA decides to not have a PC demo, and the developers get shafted for it by the gamers. To me, you're stealing when you don't have the right. If that makes me spoiled, then hell, I'm the most spoiled guy on the planet. I never said anything about how PC gamers shpuld be treated lower. All i'm saying is, when has pirating ever sent a message to a company that has actually benefited you?

To me, if you want to see if the game will run, check the specs, or if thats not enough, pirate it and check it out. If it works, then delete the game and actually buy it. If it works, and you just decide to keep the copy anyway, don't try to fool yourself into thinking you're doing anything else but stealing.

@Vcize

Because some developers don't feel the need to shoehorn multiplayer in all their games. Would you rather buy an awful game with multiplayer than a good game with only a campaign?

@Cleric

I'm tired of this pretentious nonsense that's been running rampantly lately where people are trying to come off of purists who just want to protect the integrity of single player games.

Bulletstorm is an arcadey shooter. Arcadey shooters are best played with friends. Shooting someone in the nuts and then kicking their head off is a lot more fun when a friend sees you do it and you both have a good laugh over it. There is absolutely nothing that equates the addition of multiplayer to a worse single player campaign. "Tacked on" multiplayer didn't negatively affect the single player campaigns Uncharted 2, or AC: Brotherhood, or Gears 1, or even older modern gen games like Dark Sector and Stranglehold, so get over it already.

What multiplayer does do is extend the life of a game by a ton, even if it's only co-op. Without multiplayer, no one will care about Bulletstorm any more 2-3 weeks after it releases.

Adding another player to co-op in the campaign should have been a priority. There's no reason not to. No one cares about the story of this game, it's an arcade game (not that story should prevent co-op anyway, just stick another player in there, you don't even have to have the story and cutscenes admit that he's there). And they've got anarchy mode, which means they've already got the gameplay working with multiple players. It's just stupid to leave it out.

@Cleric Why does it have to be one or the other? Developers are capable of making a good game with multiplayer you know.

@Vcize Damn it! I was ninja'd with a better written argument to boot!

@Vcize
What the hell?
No co-op or MP?

The only reason I own a 360 is because most of the games are geared that way. It is a bro shooter. This really doesn't compute.

Not saying I was interested to begin with, now I am confused as well.

I'm tired of people determining the quality of a game based solely on replay value.

@Vcize
I believe that they said that there will be campaign co-op

@Vcize I dont understand your point of view, you make very little sense. Your telling me that "no one will care about Bulletstorm any more 2-3 weeks after it releases." I was playing Bioshock 1 the other day for the trophies and I forgot how good a game it is. Similarly with Uncharted one, both spectacular games with no multiplayer. I feel that if time had been spent on a multiplayer component for these games instead of concentrating on the single player, then they would not be as amazing as they are. Enter Bioshock 2. Uncharted 2 is awesome, the single player is not better than Uncharted one, but not worse either. However I could have lived without it having an online Multiplater, I think i played it once or twice with my bro for the co-op campaign things.

Do you understand what arcade games are? Arcade in the traditional sense have nothing to do with playing with your friends. They are a bragging right game." My high score is " XYZ " whats yours? " I think this is the root that Bulletstorm has gone for. While its not multiplayer in the directly competitive sense, it is multiplayer in that you attempt to beat your mates score. This is what a " True " arcade game does, this is how a true arcade games is competitive.

I do agree, that Multiplayer is not a bad thing, and 80% of the time it extends the longevity of a game, but having said that I miss the generic arcade games with a solid Singleplayer.

1 thing I suppose we can look forward to, is no " 10,000 Kills in Multiplayer " trophies, which unless its all you play for a year your not gonna get.

@SuperWoody64

Only if you pre-order it, you get the GoW3 beta key.

@DarkNightRJ


Yes.
