Here's A Quick Look At Epic And People Can Fly's Bulletstorm

No, not THAT kind of Quick Look.

You may remember Bulletstorm as the new first-person shooter from Epic and Painkiller devs People Can Fly that sounds like it will revolve around kill combos, snazzy trick shots, and general arcade-style action. Apparently Epic was so impressed with the game that they up and bought People Can Fly outright. Let's find out why with these screenshots!

We're supposed to be getting a good look at the game in the near future, but for now, your thoughts?

I like the amount of color used. Everything is nice and vibrant. Definitely get a zeno clash vibe from it.

Feels like a ... free style arcade CoD 4 with some Ratchet and Clank thrown in , pretty Epic looking though.

I like the art style, but the concept sounds a bit... eh.  No co-op?  Campaign has gotta be some handcrafted, polished-to-perfection masterpiece for that to fly nowadays.

I would like to see it in action.  I'm okay with the point system in the game if it is done right; I fucking hated The Clubthough.  Something more akin to  Halo 3's multiplayer points mini-game would be more fun and less game-dominating.  I don't much care for games that are based around an arbitrary points system; that makes a shooter little more than a 'eye-spy' style game where you are just hunting for the highest point value on screen.  Not to mention anything with a time limit sucks by default.

@Jacob816: Except ports. They do horrible jobs of those. 
The screenshots look interesting enough. I'll be interested to see some gameplay footage.

I loved painkiller and this game looks sweet.  First shooter I've seen in forever that seems to have some originality and creativity in it.

As long as its co-op, sign me up. Artstyle looks very nice, the graphics overall are very sweet indeed.

Yeh... I thought the same thing. 
 
Does anyone else not care about this game like I do?  From what I read in Game Informer.... I couldn't find a reason to want it.  Maybe my FPS meter is just full.

Call this a brief glance or something, not quick look! D: 
 
As for the game it reminds me of Arkham's Poison Ivy 'stages' with more brown added.

Duuuude this is gonna do SO much for the gaming industry, we'll call it FPS or First Person Shooter.
