If they do a sequel, They might as well do a full on crossover. Both Franchises are doing poorly. Doing a full proper crossover would be quite awesome and help them both out, and John st John and Steve bloom spouting one liner's together would just sweeten the deal.
Yes pls. And having an optional coop would be a great way to have both running around at the same time. Note, the optional part. Let it be an over the top actionfest first.
Shrinker and Microwave Expander would be fun as hell to use in Bulletstorm. Chaingun Cannon/Ripper, Pipe Bomb, Mighty Foot, Freezethrower, Devastator and Laser Tripbomb would be fun as hell to use too!
The Bioshock Remasters WERE actually offered to owners of the original games. At least, that's how it went for me. They were automatically added to my account.
Here are the advantages of getting the Full Clip Edition. If you are a console gamer, you get 60fps. If you are a PC gamer, you no longer have to deal with Games For Windows Live. It still doesn't justify the price they're asking for. I only got it because I missed out on it back then.

I remember the original doing so badly that eBay offered people either a free copy of this game or a 4gb USB stick a few years ago, the USB stick won out.
Lightdeck I still play bulletstom every once in a while because I adore the over-the-top action. It was like Doom 2016 in 2011. The guns were so ridiculous and awesome.
I just barely learned about this remake yesterday after looking at the Duke Nukem 3D Remaster videos. I found out that the original Bulletstorm was removed off the store aswell as Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition.
lol yeah I know. its a load of shit. Like I stated earlier. one day I went to go to the steam store for Duke Nukem 3D to look for some shit I dont remember but then it just takes you back to the main store page on steam. I was curious to see the changes but then shortly I learned the Bulletstorm was also taken off the store in favor for another one of Gearboxes "Upgrades" but I think the only thing upgraded was the price tag.
Uh have you actually played Doom? For every weapon you earn you have to purchase the 2-3 perks for either the weapon or the mod and then once you do that you have to perform a small task to unlock another perk to enhance the weapon. Like for instance with the Super Shotgun you have to kill 2 enemies at the same time 20 times and once you do that your shotgun can now fire twice before it has to “reload”. With the Gatling Gun I don’t remember the task you have to perform but for the Chaingun attachment mod you can make it so that the barrel can never overheat and if you combine this with the tune that gives you infinite ammo if your armor is over 100, or 75 if you’ve upgraded the rune upgrade, then your chaingun will fire for days and not ever overheat at all. I’ve even tested this myself holding the trigger for a good 15 minutes or so and it can’t overheat.
How would it make sense tho, in bulletstorm it was to weed out the runts in the squad as they cant upgrade their weapons or get ammo if theyre not killing in high numbers or brutal ways
I disagree a lot that a Bulletstorm remaster is "unnecessary". One BIG problem Bulletstorm has and the reason I never played it was because the original ran on Games For Windows Live. And was never patched out. I was hoping it would get remastered at some point since I refused to deal with that. It's why I'm waiting for this remaster to get discounted so I can finally play it without dealing with that.
That doesn't mean it needed a remaster, plenty of games got free updates that removed GFWL. The only benefit to this version is some stuff that needed .ini edits (mainly FOV and FPS cap) are now right in the options menu. Nice benefit, but hardly worth $50.
GfwL should have been removed before offering on Steam. Probably a small task and no reason to ask 50 euro's for that. See also steamcommunity.com/app/99810/discussions/0/626329820992861489
Gearbox said about it that they don't own the rights to the original version of Bulletstorm, it was the excuse they made for why they update the existing version
CybershamanX They pulled that shit on Canadian amazon as well. Either nobody bought it and they're raising the price to make their money back, or its selling more than expecting and they're selling reprints for more money.
I remember playing through this game and just loving it. The varied gamplayed, the fun shooting, the story was fun, and when I beat that last level all I was thinking was, "Damn I can't wait for the sequel." Fuck was I stupid for thinking that would happen
Well if you think about it like Duke got drunk and woke up in this universe replacing this character it's really awesome,he always says"I'm not suppose to be here" which kind of makes it that that happened,i just hope that we will see a sequel or a new Duke game
sean anderson The PC was fucked from the beginning since the game was using Games for Windows Live. It was also a mediocre console port with stuff like 'Press X' to jump. GfWL alone was enough to sink the sales by a large amount anyway.
Because it pretends to be an old school but it is not. It is Gears-clone console shooter in which the entire action is on rails, zero exploration, alternative routs or even some backtracking - you move and shoot what jumps in front of you, then move forward (and only forward as there is laterally no other way) a bit more and shoot again.
And like fcukugimmeausername pointed out to me in another post, it's actually 5 bucks more to get the Duke part. To the tune of 55 smackers total! What the freakin' heck??? :/ (Well, technically 54.98, but who's counting? Evidently, Gearbox is... :/ )
DrIvanRadosivic "Duke Nukem version of events" is an interesting way of describing a lazy asset swap with the original character's VO replaced with out of place one liners. As for GFWL, plenty of games like Dark Souls, Red Faction: Guerrilla and Bioshock 2 had their multiplayer modes perfectly intact when switching to Steamworks in a _free_ update. In fact, Red Faction: Guerrilla got a technical overhaul much greater than what was done here as well as 4 follow up patches after gutting GFWL. Even if they couldn't offer it free/discounted because EA published the old version, this should have been $20 tops. That's what Darksiders Warmastered costs, which has significantly improved visuals and performance. "Have you considered that the re release is for People can Fly and their Bulletstorm 2 as well as their other projects?" That's not my fucking problem, as a customer I only care about getting value for my money. Arguing this does nothing to change that this is an overpriced, lazy re-release that will only sucker in total retards like yourself.
I'd be interested in this if it wasn't for the price. I think charging full price for a "remaster" of an already modern game is simply unjustified. Did whoever was responsible for pricing not think to themselves "Is the extra money worth it from a consumer's stand point when the original is so cheap now and the additions in the remaster are minimal?". This could've been a really great marketing opportunity for a good game that under-performed commercially to get another go at success with better pricing and maybe offering it for free (or at a greatly reduced price) for people who already own the original copy.
One change Gearbox made that I really enjoyed with this game was the inclusion of a weapon wheel to carry more then just 3 or so guns! I believe it’s found in the overkill mode (I think it’s called that) I believe as well you have to beat the game once to unlock it.
Quick fact: Bulletstorm's original release was pulled from digital sale entirely shortly before Full Clip Edition released, even from Origin. There's still disc copies however. As sweet as it is to have Bulletstorm without GFWL, unlocked config files and a revived multiplayer (Though I'm not foolish enough to think it's going to attract regular players, let alone many), Gearbox really just couldn't stop souring this sweet offering. The initial price definitely places FAR too much value on the minimal changes (Honestly, "reissue" fits the bill far better than "remaster"), which mostly amount to options menu changes (More user options like FOV without a config edit, but less graphics options People Can Fly bizarrely thought we wouldn't want in the menu and not scrambling to the config files to enable/disable/alter), they REALLY oversold Duke Nukem's inclusion (Both in terms of marketing and pricing, when the initial price tag was enough to be considered taking the utter piss), and the now unpopular incident of them partnering with G2A, having a game critic do their homework for them and then promptly "being the extraction process" will certainly make purchases uncomfortable for yet more eying up Bulletstorm. If only a publisher like Devolver Digital did the legwork on this one. On the plus side, UE Viewer can extract the audio files, so I guess one redeeming factor is I can buy Duke Nukem's Bulletstorm Tour, extract the audio data if it works exactly like the base game, then stick all those lines into another game of my choosing like Left 4 Dead 2, so I can enjoy me more John St. John for my unfair buck. Still, I'd dare reckon this version of Bulletstorm is the better one, but only because the config files were opened for us to tinker with without tools and multiplayer's back, a lot of the changes give the impression a patch could've been enough to delivered them, not a borderline full-priced reissue (My region went for £29.99 instead of the RRP £39.99, so lucky UK at least) that still makes gamers find a catalogue of config edits just to turn off motion blur or adjust anti-aliasing, let alone surpass the 100 FOV limit or adjust the weapon aiming FOV. Really puts me on the fence as to whether I should seek a Steam Refund to make the statement this form of re-release shouldn't stand, or keep it as I'd like to make my point that I love Bulletstorm and would like to see People Can Fly give it another go (With a much less incompetent publisher whilst I'm embellishing in foolish optimism).
Out of all the games I've played, I think Bulletstorm is still the one I want a sequel for the most, I got the Xbox 360 version slightly before launch in the UK because my stepfather knew a guy who got hold of a few copies, and I had a blast with it, I could never understand the reason people hated it other than it uses the older FPS style, which I've always enjoyed more anyway despite growing up with modern shooters. All in all, I think the most modern game I own is from 2017 (I think the AAA gaming industry is dead at this point), I'd still buy a new Bulletstorm game if it was released.
I could be wrong but I don't think the Overkill mode was in the original game. You get it for beating the game once and it unlocks all weapons from beginning and give you infinite ammo when you complete the challenge for the weapon.
I immensely love this game I'm 29 and I still play it and fier up my old 360 today . I play a lot of good old games like... red faction half life 2, Manhunt 1 and 2, Gun, ect ect.
My only gripe is that they killed Rell and Doc too early in my opinion, they were there for like a half hour and I like them as characters more than some characters in other games that get a full-games-worth of screen time.
I replayed this game recently and jesus does it hold up well. The pace is incredibly, almost one set piece to the next. Great weapons except for the bowler, and a story that actually had be invested by the end.
I'd been wanting to try this game for a long time and got it for about six bucks on sale and I am having a blast. This is one of the most fluid and fun FPS games I've ever played. I'm doing my first run as Gray, but I'm going to play as Duke down the road because I definitely see myself replaying this one. Here's hoping for a sequel.
*Bulletstorm Advertising* _Gearbox:_ Dubstep trailers, G2A sponsorship they had to pull out of last-minute _2011 (original devs):_ Mocked Halo 3's "Believe" trailer, released a short joke game mocking Call of Duty
I loved this game when it launched. Some of the most fun FPS shooting mechanics ever. Too bad it didn't do well, same with the remaster. Would have liked to see a sequel.
My suspicion with the Duke Nukem model is they just ported the model from Duke Nukem Forever into the game and called it a day. It came out in 2011 as well so it makes sense.
For us in Germany its important that it gets a "remaster" because so we can buy it in first place. The original was banned and the new version (with out the GFWL cancer) can now be bought.
Great review, I'm also hoping it'll sell well this time, so we'll have a sequel, I was most astound by the fact it had decent story more than anything. I absolutely adore this is title.
This is why classic games can't be given to devs who don't give a shit. I'm so pissed off at Gearbox, fuck Borderlands, that's all you hear about. Gearbox ruined DukeNukem. For fans of that style of FPS games it wasn't THAT bad but they made it a laughing stock. Everyone loves to act like the game took all that time and ended up sucking. It wasn't being worked on all that time. It was just stagnant, switching hands, etc. This is why you gotta pick a good dev to hand a classic franchise too. The next Duke Nukem (If there ever is one) should be handed to FlyingHog/Devolver(Shadow Warrior) or MachineGames (WolfensteinTNO/Old Blood) But with the shit DNF got for not being that good added with the PC mindset being forced down everyones throat we might not ever get another good Duke Nukem again.
The reason DNF sucked was mostly to blame for Gear box handing it off to another dev team so they could focus on borderlands, the same thing that happened with Aliens: Colonial marines.
+The ghost of Sammy classic Sonic fan, Your username is way too long. But, no don't cut Gearbox any slack. Anyway you want to cut it it's their fault. If I'm a known chef and you ask me to make you a steak, you're not gonna be happy eating a steak that taste like shit because oh it wasn't me, I was busy! I asked a guy a know to make the steak for you.
Well - the main reason this game needed a newer version - Games for Windows Live. This makes the older version of the game unavailable for many countries. A friend gifted it to me on Steam and I couldn't play it - the country is unsupported. Finally I can play this but I will wait for a sale on this.
Wait $40? The Gamestop website is showing $59.99! WTF! I never played this game, but I want to, especially with the inclusion of Duke Nukem, but $60!!! Now that's some bullshit right there my good sir (drinking tea angrily).
Stop supporting gamestop for fucks sake! They are just like G2A, they are legal criminals. In other words they are parasites to game companies and consumer alike!
They supposedly added a new game + sort of mode (haven't unlocked it yet myself), and I think the second series of echos is a new thing (though not a big fan of it). Still a hard sell for some people, but I was personally interested enough in it to grab it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they get enough to net a sequel, but I'm not counting on it. I really wish they just risked making it anyway, 1 million sold isn't too bad for a new IP, especially considering that number doesn't even account for long term sales (that number coming from 2011).
Not sure if there's anything you can do Gggmanlives, but your videos aren't showing up on my sub page. I have it set to notify by email when you upload anyway, but I'm sure some don't.
Hey gggman I found this FPS released in 2010 called Alcatraz, you should do a review of it I heard it's pretty shit so it might be a funny review. Cheers
Is there a way to switch of the flashy points shieeet? I wanna be violent in a game cause its fun to be violent and not to get points pop up out of there arses all the time.
Truly even though I don't see much in the future for Duke Nukem sadly but a New Bulletstorm that connects to The Nukem franchise with duke as a supporting character would be cool. Then a actual true Duke Nukem 4 or 5 if they wanna keep on after that.
I got this on sale for i think £7 which i thought was fair and having not played it since it was released it was nice to come back, i just hope they make a sequel after outriders
Im playing it now...its so fucking amazing, the graphics are STUNNING for the time and the mechanics are smooth and fun. Great game than you GmanLives i got to know this game watching your vids! i owe you a beer.
"I can remember what I had for lunch in 2011." Let me guess - Reuben sandwich? Also I can't wait to see Duke Nukem Forever remaster in my Steam recommendations. Full-priced at that!
One other positive about this "remaster" is that it is at least a functional port that doesn't need CFG edits to get it looking like anything better than an N64 game.
The only problem I had with Bulletstorm when it came out it's the assault rifle's firing sound - it felt way too underpowered for my taste and lacked some oomf or a thudd or whatever the sound to make firing it feel more badass.
Never played the game in 2011 and I got the full clip edition, I like the game but the controls feel so floaty on Xbox one. It's weird, I feel as if I'm walking on a cloud and the weapons handle like they don't have any sense of weight.
Another good review. I bought the game for Duke. I really wish they'd at least redubbed some the dialogue for the other characters to properly fit Duke into a sort of alternative version of the story similar to Frank West's inclusion in Dead Rising 2 Off the Record but I guess beggars can't be choosers for us Duke fans at this point.
I picked this one up based on your review and I'm curious if you had any issues with this game running in fullscreen? I assume not otherwise you would've mentioned it, but after Googling it I see I'm not the only one. If I run this in anything other than windowed, which sucks ass, any time there's a cutscene the game crashes within seconds. And since there seems to be numerous cutscenes scattered about randomly, that means my game crashes all the time, making it extremely not fun to play. It looks like Gearbox never tried to fix this problem either, which a surprising number of people seem to be having. At this point I don't even feel like playing it anymore, I'm only like an hour in and it legit JUST crashed again, so I came here to see your review again and leave a comment.
damm, my bad. I dont understand why though, why not package the original with it? the worst one was when Dead Island was re-released as Dead Island: Definitive Edition using the dying light engine, people with low end PCs now cannot get the original dead island on steam (though i think it is still avalible on places like amazon and origin) that would run well on their low spec computers, and now have to get the new one that was built for modern gaming pcs in mind. And the new one will be more expensive for a few years.

You can easily remove GFWL on the 2011 edition and play the game no problem.
well i never did finished it. but i was incredibly hyped before the launch then i tried and i thought it was boring as shit.
Always loved the currency system in this game, forcing you to experiment different ways to kill to get money.
Something Doom should have used.
Aya ya If they did that then idiots would be complaining " it's to different"
Uh have you actually played Doom? For every weapon you earn you have to purchase the 2-3 perks for either the weapon or the mod and then once you do that you have to perform a small task to unlock another perk to enhance the weapon.

One change Gearbox made that I really enjoyed with this game was the inclusion of a weapon wheel to carry more then just 3 or so guns! I believe it’s found in the overkill mode (I think it’s called that) I believe as well you have to beat the game once to unlock it.
"Shut the fuck up, I'm not even supposed to be in this flashback." That line genuinely made me crack up.
Quick fact: Bulletstorm's original release was pulled from digital sale entirely shortly before Full Clip Edition released, even from Origin. There's still disc copies however.
As sweet as it is to have Bulletstorm without GFWL, unlocked config files and a revived multiplayer (Though I'm not foolish enough to think it's going to attract regular players, let alone many), Gearbox really just couldn't stop souring this sweet offering. The initial price definitely places FAR too much value on the minimal changes (Honestly, "reissue" fits the bill far better than "remaster"), which mostly amount to options menu changes (More user options like FOV without a config edit, but less graphics options People Can Fly bizarrely thought we wouldn't want in the menu and not scrambling to the config files to enable/disable/alter), they REALLY oversold Duke Nukem's inclusion (Both in terms of marketing and pricing, when the initial price tag was enough to be considered taking the utter piss), and the now unpopular incident of them partnering with G2A, having a game critic do their homework for them and then promptly "being the extraction process" will certainly make purchases uncomfortable for yet more eying up Bulletstorm. If only a publisher like Devolver Digital did the legwork on this one.
On the plus side, UE Viewer can extract the audio files, so I guess one redeeming factor is I can buy Duke Nukem's Bulletstorm Tour, extract the audio data if it works exactly like the base game, then stick all those lines into another game of my choosing like Left 4 Dead 2, so I can enjoy me more John St. John for my unfair buck.
Still, I'd dare reckon this version of Bulletstorm is the better one, but only because the config files were opened for us to tinker with without tools and multiplayer's back, a lot of the changes give the impression a patch could've been enough to delivered them, not a borderline full-priced reissue (My region went for £29.99 instead of the RRP £39.99, so lucky UK at least) that still makes gamers find a catalogue of config edits just to turn off motion blur or adjust anti-aliasing, let alone surpass the 100 FOV limit or adjust the weapon aiming FOV. Really puts me on the fence as to whether I should seek a Steam Refund to make the statement this form of re-release shouldn't stand, or keep it as I'd like to make my point that I love Bulletstorm and would like to see People Can Fly give it another go (With a much less incompetent publisher whilst I'm embellishing in foolish optimism).
Got my copy for $10 and it’s fun. It’s like Singularity, a shooter with interesting mechanics that spices up combat.
I'm glad you said that clearly! that ..gearbox practicing we seen here;) ..all the best from Poland!;P
Out of all the games I've played, I think Bulletstorm is still the one I want a sequel for the most, I got the Xbox 360 version slightly before launch in the UK because my stepfather knew a guy who got hold of a few copies, and I had a blast with it, I could never understand the reason people hated it other than it uses the older FPS style, which I've always enjoyed more anyway despite growing up with modern shooters. All in all, I think the most modern game I own is from 2017 (I think the AAA gaming industry is dead at this point), I'd still buy a new Bulletstorm game if it was released.
Probably my favorite shooter of past gen. Mix of old and new, humor and kick-ass action.
I could be wrong but I don't think the Overkill mode was in the original game.
You get it for beating the game once and it unlocks all weapons from beginning and give you infinite ammo when you complete the challenge for the weapon.
100k subs! Congrats!
I immensely love this game I'm 29 and I still play it and fier up my old 360 today . I play a lot of good old games like... red faction half life 2, Manhunt 1 and 2, Gun, ect ect.
Kyle McDonald Half-Life 2 should never have been ported to console. It’s a disgrace to the franchise.
Damn, 2 reviews in a day? You're off the fuckin' chain, Gggman!

Great vid man, Ive been happy ever since subbing sometime back.
My only gripe is that they killed Rell and Doc too early in my opinion, they were there for like a half hour and I like them as characters more than some characters in other games that get a full-games-worth of screen time.
I replayed this game recently and jesus does it hold up well. The pace is incredibly, almost one set piece to the next. Great weapons except for the bowler, and a story that actually had be invested by the end.
At first, when they added "Duke Nukem" in Bullestorm, I thought it was going to have new Missions, or a bonus Campaign. I'm a bit disappointed
What about the game Psi-Ops or Zeno Clash (You can find the game for 1 dolar on steam sometimes)?
Psi-Ops isn't on Steam and it never has been
Thanks for the upload son.
I'd been wanting to try this game for a long time and got it for about six bucks on sale and I am having a blast. This is one of the most fluid and fun FPS games I've ever played. I'm doing my first run as Gray, but I'm going to play as Duke down the road because I definitely see myself replaying this one. Here's hoping for a sequel.
Full magazine edition* clip is something you put in a bolt action rifle
this looks like something that would show up on a steam sale for like 15 bucks or less. when that happens I'll buy
Just started playing this in 2023 and it’s still awesome
This German Version is Uncut, so I will going to play this one.
Definitely gonna get this, because I never played the original version. But only on a massive sale.
*Bulletstorm Advertising*
_Gearbox:_ Dubstep trailers, G2A sponsorship they had to pull out of last-minute
_2011 (original devs):_ Mocked Halo 3's "Believe" trailer, released a short joke game mocking Call of Duty
5persondude how the fuck is this mocking call of duty? They aren’t even in the same category dipshit.
@@JAHomeRenos They made a mock up parody game making fun of COD to promote Bulletstorm
I love how Gearbox doesn't even try to come up with a new Duke Nukem catchphrase, and just keep reusing the old tired bubblegum line from They Live.
you wont regret playing bulletstorm, take my word for it
I loved this game when it launched. Some of the most fun FPS shooting mechanics ever. Too bad it didn't do well, same with the remaster. Would have liked to see a sequel.
It would be a best bet to wait for the game to go on sale, then purchase it.
Can you review Neotoyko? It's free on steam, and is a favorite of mine.
Apparently the Duke Nukem addition is preorder dlc. Is that an early unlock or is Gearbox really that inept?
My suspicion with the Duke Nukem model is they just ported the model from Duke Nukem Forever into the game and called it a day.
It came out in 2011 as well so it makes sense.
I started playing this yesterday and I fucking love it
I really loved the original and hoped for a sequel since I played trough it but There never was one :(
For us in Germany its important that it gets a "remaster" because so we can buy it in first place.
The original was banned and the new version (with out the GFWL cancer) can now be bought.
Great review, I'm also hoping it'll sell well this time, so we'll have a sequel, I was most astound by the fact it had decent story more than anything. I absolutely adore this is title.
This is why classic games can't be given to devs who don't give a shit. I'm so pissed off at Gearbox, fuck Borderlands, that's all you hear about. Gearbox ruined DukeNukem. For fans of that style of FPS games it wasn't THAT bad but they made it a laughing stock. Everyone loves to act like the game took all that time and ended up sucking. It wasn't being worked on all that time. It was just stagnant, switching hands, etc. This is why you gotta pick a good dev to hand a classic franchise too. The next Duke Nukem (If there ever is one) should be handed to FlyingHog/Devolver(Shadow Warrior) or MachineGames (WolfensteinTNO/Old Blood) But with the shit DNF got for not being that good added with the PC mindset being forced down everyones throat we might not ever get another good Duke Nukem again.
Gearbox took Duke Nukem, bent him over a concrete block and fucked him senseless.
Then they put him in Bulletstorm
+Slightly Off Centre Line, And I hate Randy Pitchford, he looks like he has halitosis and always has a piece of shit hanging out of his ass.
The thought of Duke saying "Bazinga" makes me want to punch someone in the nose.
The reason DNF sucked was mostly to blame for Gear box handing it off to another dev team so they could focus on borderlands, the same thing that happened with Aliens: Colonial marines.
+The ghost of Sammy classic Sonic fan, Your username is way too long. But, no don't cut Gearbox any slack. Anyway you want to cut it it's their fault. If I'm a known chef and you ask me to make you a steak, you're not gonna be happy eating a steak that taste like shit because oh it wasn't me, I was busy! I asked a guy a know to make the steak for you.
Well - the main reason this game needed a newer version - Games for Windows Live. This makes the older version of the game unavailable for many countries. A friend gifted it to me on Steam and I couldn't play it - the country is unsupported. Finally I can play this but I will wait for a sale on this.
I got a Bulletstorm trailer for your Bulletstorm review lmao
Been waiting for this
Wait $40? The Gamestop website is showing $59.99! WTF! I never played this game, but I want to, especially with the inclusion of Duke Nukem, but $60!!! Now that's some bullshit right there my good sir (drinking tea angrily).
Stop supporting gamestop for fucks sake! They are just like G2A, they are legal criminals. In other words they are parasites to game companies and consumer alike!
They supposedly added a new game + sort of mode (haven't unlocked it yet myself), and I think the second series of echos is a new thing (though not a big fan of it). Still a hard sell for some people, but I was personally interested enough in it to grab it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they get enough to net a sequel, but I'm not counting on it. I really wish they just risked making it anyway, 1 million sold isn't too bad for a new IP, especially considering that number doesn't even account for long term sales (that number coming from 2011).
I am running this on ps pro and on an ultra 4k tv with no picture issues or crashes so far.
did the guy from Honest Game Trailers do the voice of Duke Nukem now?
Not sure if there's anything you can do Gggmanlives, but your videos aren't showing up on my sub page. I have it set to notify by email when you upload anyway, but I'm sure some don't.
is this a sign that gearbox software is working on a new duke nukem ? between this and World Tour seems like it is.
THE DOOM GUY AND DUKE NUKEM ARE BROTHERS, LIKE SOLID AND LIQUID
Hey gggman I found this FPS released in 2010 called Alcatraz, you should do a review of it I heard it's pretty shit so it might be a funny review.
Cheers
Is there a way to switch of the flashy points shieeet? I wanna be violent in a game cause its fun to be violent and not to get points pop up out of there arses all the time.
One of the few good things about this remake is the lack of GFWL. There are plenty of people that cant get the original version running.
Truly even though I don't see much in the future for Duke Nukem sadly but a New Bulletstorm that connects to The Nukem franchise with duke as a supporting character would be cool. Then a actual true Duke Nukem 4 or 5 if they wanna keep on after that.
I got this on sale for i think £7 which i thought was fair and having not played it since it was released it was nice to come back, i just hope they make a sequel after outriders
good review but what if you never played the original one is it worth it then ?
I bought Full Clip Edition because I no longer have my original copy, plus got a bit of a discount on it
Im playing it now...its so fucking amazing, the graphics are STUNNING for the time and the mechanics are smooth and fun. Great game than you GmanLives i got to know this game watching your vids! i owe you a beer.
"I can remember what I had for lunch in 2011."
Let me guess - Reuben sandwich?
Also I can't wait to see Duke Nukem Forever remaster in my Steam recommendations. Full-priced at that!
Missed opportunity at adding a Jump function
This and your next most recent review haven't been in my sub-box! Just a heads up
I love the original bulletstorm it was amazing
Playing as Duke nukem in this game is really funny
I can only visualize Gggman eating reuben sandwiches every day since 2011.
man you should review Vanquish.
and shadows of the damned
The weapon wheel is the biggest change
One other positive about this "remaster" is that it is at least a functional port that doesn't need CFG edits to get it looking like anything better than an N64 game.
Can you do review for Alien Rage?
The only problem I had with Bulletstorm when it came out it's the assault rifle's firing sound - it felt way too underpowered for my taste and lacked some oomf or a thudd or whatever the sound to make firing it feel more badass.
Love this game. Playing it again tonight.
Never played the game in 2011 and I got the full clip edition, I like the game but the controls feel so floaty on Xbox one. It's weird, I feel as if I'm walking on a cloud and the weapons handle like they don't have any sense of weight.
Another good review. I bought the game for Duke. I really wish they'd at least redubbed some the dialogue for the other characters to properly fit Duke into a sort of alternative version of the story similar to Frank West's inclusion in Dead Rising 2 Off the Record but I guess beggars can't be choosers for us Duke fans at this point.
dukes model is from duke nukem forever from 2011
I picked this one up based on your review and I'm curious if you had any issues with this game running in fullscreen? I assume not otherwise you would've mentioned it, but after Googling it I see I'm not the only one. If I run this in anything other than windowed, which sucks ass, any time there's a cutscene the game crashes within seconds. And since there seems to be numerous cutscenes scattered about randomly, that means my game crashes all the time, making it extremely not fun to play. It looks like Gearbox never tried to fix this problem either, which a surprising number of people seem to be having. At this point I don't even feel like playing it anymore, I'm only like an hour in and it legit JUST crashed again, so I came here to see your review again and leave a comment.
I'm amazed at Gearbox's ability to constantly fuck up
Where can i find the original game? i've looked everywhere and all i could find was the full clip edition.
Invaderzod They removed the original game from the store.
dammit!
rehashes and remasters. Amazing next gen gaming.
*current gen
Vlaka nothing new, this kind of thing goes on since the 16-bit era.
thats been the circle jerk for the last 3 years boy
46 plebs thumbed up
That thumbnail though, just had to comment.
5:28 used to be available for peanuts
the original has been taken off steam because...
why do publishers do this?
Gearbox, the publisher, not the devs.
damm, my bad. I dont understand why though, why not package the original with it? the worst one was when Dead Island was re-released as Dead Island: Definitive Edition using the dying light engine, people with low end PCs now cannot get the original dead island on steam (though i think it is still avalible on places like amazon and origin) that would run well on their low spec computers, and now have to get the new one that was built for modern gaming pcs in mind. And the new one will be more expensive for a few years.
Doesn't this also get rid of games for windows live?
