The bright and colorful North American box art for Epic's Bulletstorm is a boot to the head of those more serious first-person shooters. It's these bright colors that draw me to Bulletstorm. I've no problem traversing the dreary grey and brown worlds of games like Resistance, Killzone, or Epic's own Gears of War. I just need a nice splash of color now and then. Games like Team Fortress 2, Monday Night Combat, and now Bulletstorm take me back to the good old days, back before everything got so gritty and realistic.

Is something wrong with his left arm (right if you're looking at him head on)? Like, what's up with the hand? It looks twisted.

Well it's not going to get the worst box art of the year award, which ME2 is a shoe in for, but it doesn't look that great to me.

I dont like the 360 version, just comes out with too much color. I would never buy a game for boxart but if there is zero difference in the actual gameplay that may be a factor in purchasing...

The green stuff is too bright and its too big imo. The PS3 one is subtle and smaller.

It's got that orange and blue thing going on...I wonder why so many posters/covers are using that contrast these days.

Probably because every recent high-budget movie decided they needed that awful teal and orange look.

Main dude doesn't have a ****eating grin on his face and the guy on the right is having significantly less fun than everyone else. Other than that it's pretty perfect.

He's the pitchman because he's good at that, but I really doubt he was the source of the games style or tone.

for such a nice looking game, they could've gone with a less awful boxart. "random angry dude pointing/shooting his gun at the consumer" got old in 2004. but this thread served to the purpose of warning me that this game isn't a 360 exclusive as i thought. which means i'll actually be able to play it.

Epic arn't making the game. but he probably has got a lot of control about the style of the game.

I had no interest in this game from the first time I saw the E3 demo. Looks turrible. For awhile I kept getting this game, and Bodycount confused . Hey, my mistake. Both are generic "over the top" shooters after-all.

Before these two games were titled and footage shown, and you simply heard unofficial rumors of Epic games working on a multiplat, and the creator of "Black" from last gen was working on a new shooter, I thought to myself, "hey at least more solid FPS goodness is coming". But honestly both of these games look like crap. Correction: Bullestorm looks like crap. Bodycount looks like UBER-crap and might as well be canceled from what I can tell - the reactions were so bad for that one that for all we know they just went back to the drawing board.

dommeus
The fact that they are opposites on the color wheel means that they have a natural tendency to contrast nicely, added on to the fact that blue is an insanely popular "cool" color compared to some of the other options (ie. purple/teal) Also, lol.

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"]Epic games making a ps3 game again? Wow... just wow.SpArKs424

Bulletstorm is their only Multiplatform in years just a filler till gears gets here .

Well Gears is mainly all they've done on 360. They are basically PC developers all the way, but Microsoft paid them a nice chunk of change to create the Gears Franchise for them. First on PC and 360, then just on 360 to try and make it a system seller.

Unreal Tournament was their only other console game PERIOD besides this and Gears, but it was also a multiplat across all HD platforms.

edit: just checked and they did a port of an unreal game to PS2 game as well. for what that is worth.

I do agree this is just filler though. Some terrible deal for EA. Make a deal with Epic Games - spin it as some sort of huge blockbuster megadeal to compete with Activision, Then Epic Games turns around and outsources some crappy game to an unheard of polish studio. Wonder what EA shareholders are thinking THIS is the result of our partnership??? LOL. :o
