[Official] Bulletstorm


Recommended Posts

I am having a hard time deciding which console to buy this for, I have tried the demo on the PS3 but don't have gold to try the 360 version. Could I get some opinions from my fellow neowin members? My girlfriend is getting it for me for my bday I just don't know what version to tell her.

Yeah, I'm looking at the screenshot comparison on Lens of Truth, and while there are some slight color differences between the two, I can't really single one out as being superior.

My friends are getting the game on PS3, so now I'm leaning towards that version just so that I can compare Echoes scores with them. I don't need a beta to tell me that Gears 3 is going to be amazing, so that's not really a huge deal for me.

After getting a deal on gold and the possibility of major hacking due to the ps3 being compromised I am switching my pre order to the 360. I was also finally able to try the 360 version and the game seems to much smoother for some reason and more vivid in colors, the ps3 version seems to have a washed out haze to the game.

I just can't wait! 6 more days!

Same here. Which platform are you getting it for again? I have my preorder PC version paid in full, same day delivery from Amazon.

Going to be strange, as the last PC game I have had a physical copy of is Half Life 2, I have gone digital on everything else, but with the credit I had left over Amazon from trade ins and a $20 video game credit thanks to GT5, Bulletstorm PC version cost me $2.45, :laugh:

360!

It seems Empire Mag has the first Bulletstorm review:

The first Bulletstorm review has appeared online and it's a 4/5 from Empire.

The movie mag boldly calls Epic's new IP "the most innovative first-person shooter in years," praising its "addictive" skillshot system and "instantly endearing" arsenal of weapons.

"The most innovative first-person shooter in years, Bulletstorm is as addictive as it is bold. Beyond every crude one-liner and the unashamed gratuity of its violence, it's a game full of hidden depth and simple thrills of gaming past. Not one for grandma, mind."

Pre-ordered this yesterday (for the PS3, which probably alienates me from 95% of the people here ;)). Future Shop has a promotion where you get $20 off if you pre-order Bulletstorm and Killzone 3 together. Pretty cool, considering I planned on getting both games anyways.

Can't wait!

getting it for the 360...but wait...six days? i thought it was coming out tomorrow, the 22nd? what's this about six days all of a sudden? what happened to Tuesday launches? i actually also thought Crysis 2 comes out tomorrow and was planning a big gaming weekend...looks like Crysis 2 is next month...

    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X
    • Windows 10 was 6 years old when Microsoft revealed Windows 11. Does this mean Windows 12 is due next year?
    • Congratulations Windows.
