Epic: Bulletstorm did not make money for us |
Listed in: News Tags: bulletstorm, Epic Games, people can fly
Bulletstorm may have gotten rave reviews but apparently those didn't translate to money in the bank for Epic Games. Studio president Mike Capps said as much in an interview with Kotaku, but emphasized that they don't regret it one bit.
If they just wanted money Epic could have made People Can Fly work on additional Gears of War content, but that would have been the easy route. It's also not the direction Capps wants Epic and People Can Fly to take.
"The studio has shipped AAA content," he told gaming news blog Kotaku. "The next thing we do with People Can Fly will be great."
Bulletstorm was the recipient of a sizeable amount of critical praise when it launched. Codemasters' game director, Andy Wilson, even credited the stylistically over the top shooter for proving that there's a market beyond Call of Duty.

I'm saying this even though 99% of the time I dislike FPS games and extremely short campaign modes. This game, I would definitely play it over and over again. And I actually kinda liked the simple plot, it was enjoyable!!!

Generic shooter with extra portions of un-needed swearing.
Epic are far from Epic... give up

I think if they added regular Multiplayer (FFA, TDM, CTF etc..) it would have held its own against the other titles.
It would have been nice to keep your level progression in multiplayer too, starting over every time got tedious.
