    Bulletstorm

    Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Feb 22, 2011

    Stylish, ludicrous kills net big points in this ridiculously over-the-top first-person shooter.

    PS3 or PC?

    Does anyone know which platform I should get this for? I enjoy FPS games much more on PC but I am worried no one will be playing multi-player on the PC. What do you guys think? 
     
    Thanks.

    Is multiplayer a real big draw for this game?

    I don't think many people will be playing the multi of this on any platform.

    @NekuSakuraba: It's just bulletstorm's take on Gear's horde mode. It will probably be popular for a bit but not in the long run.

    But what I meant is that the co-op should add a bit of game time, right?

    Agreed, after seeing the quick look i think that more people would be playing echos & single player over horde mode for most of it's life.

    Maybe. It seems like it'd get old pretty quick to me (at least based on the quick look).

    The PC version apparently looks better, so I'd say go with that.

    I've been playing the PC version. It does look alright graphically, although I would say it's definitely not the best looking unreal game. If you have at least a decent computer that can run most stuff at high settings you should be fine. I'm playing on an old dual core gtx 260 and get 45-60 fps at 1080p. 
     
    All that aside, it is a really fun game, and so far I have been having a good time figuring out all the skill shots and stuff. If you like stupid shooter games, this is a pretty good one to go with. If you have the pc to run it, go with that, otherwise I'm sure the PS3 version is just fine and dandy too.

    Why hasn't it come out on Steam but it is out at stores? Does it use Steamworks?

    It's on steam. It does not use Steamworks though. It's a Games for Windows Live joint. Achievement points and all.

    Yes, just curious as to whether it will make much of a difference by having it on Steam.

    Well if you want to play it now...then buy it from a store, however if you want to play it later, you can get it off steam. In other words, since it uses GFWL it really won't matter unless you like to keep your games under your steam account.
