Will bulletstorm have MP?

[mugen 828]

Title says it all.

if no, why the hell not?

[Addnan]

It probably will, most games do these days.

They havn't announced anything though :(

[Addnan]

This is what the creative director from PCF said.



> 1. Will Bulletstorm have a "replay campaign" feature that allows the player to play through the campaign multiple times without losing his weapons and upgrades? Much like the Ratchet & Clank series had.

We'll see, but I always wanted to have this. Only something unexpected - like a design problem I'm not seeing now - can stop us from doing it.

> 2. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the blood level of Bulletstorm.

Somewhere between 10 and ZOMFG! But it's fun gore, not disgusting bleh gore.

> Would you say the primary focus of Bulletstorm was the single player campaign or the multiplayer features?

Why compromise? :D Nowadays gamers require both elements to be perfect, and that's what we're trying to achieve.

> Will you guys consider to make an Online Multiplayer Beta Test session like Halo Reach?

No MP answers from me for now :D

[king-mark]

Hopefully a gears 3 beta. I get that feeling because they are being so "hush hush" about it

[Bert Reakers]

EA will probably want to rinse our bank accounts for the privilege, though.

Simby and I were discussing this at the Eurogamer Expo. How will the leash work? It'll be chaos to have 8-10 people all flailing it around, so they'll have to change the mechanics from the campaign, I would imagine.

most games that have powers like that (ie Singularty) just limit what is in MP, which can still be really fun.

[mandatory chaos]

that will be the only thing that would stop me and friens from buying this game it looks bad ass bloody and all that good stuff but if it does not have a 2 player online co op none of us will buy the game so thats the deal breaker for us now its up to the makers to give us what we are asking for or not getting our Business.......... guess we will have to see

The game is only 4 months away, and they haven't shown any MP yet. It's starting to worry me that the MP component in the game won't be anything special. It would be very unfortunate if that is the case, because I think this could be a very different and great new MP experience.

[Kantham]

I can name so many games that were/are great even though they have ZERO multiplayer components.

I agree. I'm starting to wonder what they're waiting for. I'm really hoping it's good.

As can I. Sorry Mugen but I hope Bulletstorm doesnt have MP. Gaming is takin a turn for the worse by addin MP to everything (Bioshock and Assassin's Creed) and more power to Epic and PCF if they choose to fight this fad.

Plus, I dont see how they could put slow-mo and the energy whip into a live MP, ya know?

The difference is those companies aren't known for making great MP games. Epic is. Which is exactly why I still have some faith left that the MP will be awesome. I wouldn't think they would just throw on MP to have it in the game, if it wasn't great.

[Kantham]

Epic isn't developing Bulletstorm.

[DocBrownsCrazyHair]

Epic isn't developing Bulletstorm.

Right, but they have heavy involvement in it. Just by looking at the game you can tell that. I would see no reason why that would be different for mp.

Regardless, they would be missing a huge opportunity here without doing mp. Gaming needs a new FPS mp game right now, unless of course you like playing war mp games over and over.

[Kantham]

Personally I'd rather see co-op in the game than MP. There doesn't seem to be any sort of potential for multiplayer with the game's features. I can't imagine leash/kick being used against other players.

[rek]

the game looks great, but i would get irritated quickly if i was suspended in the air all the time, getting skillshotted whilst practically floating/standing still.

i'm not sure how i feel about MP in this particular game.

[that one guy]

I think it will be MP story CO-Op

[Blackcrash]

will this game have co op? that would be so great if it did!!!

[DocBrownsCrazyHair]

I'm pretty sure that I remember Cliff say there was no co-op in the game early on. I supoose that could have changed. He also said epic had some tricks up their sleeves regarding multiplayer, and that it would be something different.

It's a little disappointing that it's not a full out Unreal type MP game. We will have to wait and see, but I'm hoping it's more that style than anything else. I'm dying for an Unreal type game on the PC. Sick of all these war shooters.

[Ghostofdelta2]

It will have online play apparently according to a Tanya interview.

[COG Steven]

according to this.


yes, there will be multiplayer but we haven't discussed it yet. :)

We just don't know when we will hear some news. hopefully by Christmas time. Possibly a Demo?

[Bremaine]

I imagine there will be multi-player modes in the game. I can't see it not happening. I'm more interested in playing this game online than the game itself. Well I still want to play the story, but these days, I'm more into multiplayer games.

[Shishio]

I mostly wish for Story Co-op... This is really the stuff I want in such game.

[Bremaine]

Yeah, co-op is a must these days. And if they didn't plan on multi-player I'd at least would expect the next best thing, which would be co-op.

[c0rps3f4ctory]

If not at least make it borderlands esque MP, its all about how you expand the horizons in a way. but competative will still be awesome sauce.

Yeah dude, if they can't include traditional mp, at least include something like borderlands mp.

[I Love U Jesus]

I only just now looked at this forum. I really hope I'm pleasantly surprised that they've saved the best for last, so to speak, with an awesome mp.

After Gears, I'll try anything Epic puts work into like this.

[Vercun]

Companies know 50%+ of people buy games for MP. I'm positive Bulletstorm will have it.

[Shishio]

coming to think of it, bulletstorm solo seems to be some kind of scoring games, somehow.
I'm pretty sure that a co-op multi similar to the horde mode of gears/left 4 dead/Call of zombie mod, would work really good.

4/6 players with some huge waves of wierdos, and the biggers score to make... could be fun especially with those weapons.
