Bulletstorm Sequel Cancelled; PC Piracy Mentioned

[Apr 10, 2012, 09:26 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

In spite of EA saying the original "under-performed," a sequel to Bulletstorm was in the works at People Can Fly before being cancelled by parent company Epic Games reports GameSpot, who hear from Epic president Mike Capps on the topic. Mike indicates they have put the Polish developer on a different project they will "be announcing pretty soon," though there is no clue if this is the recently revealed PC game Epic is planning. "We thought a lot about a sequel, and had done some initial development on it, but we found a project that we thought was a better fit for People Can Fly," he said. "We haven't announced that yet, but we will be announcing it pretty soon." He goes on to praise Bulletstorm and says he'd love to go back to the property, "but right now we don't have anything to talk about." Just to stir the pot a little, the story concludes with Capps' comment that sales of the PC version may have been harmed by piracy: "We made a PC version of Bulletstorm, and it didn't do very well on PC and I think a lot of that was due to piracy. It wasn't the best PC port ever, sure, but also piracy was a pretty big problem."

Once someone says such enormous aberration out of their mouths anything else they may say on the current discussion is rendered moot and worthless. The whole internet didn't fight SOPA and PIPA and now ACTA just because they were in a mood. I didn't say it should be, I said it will be, which makes sense overall because things always go down this way. And I didn't say any current model is right or proper. As for the whole internet fighting it, 90% were sheep. Most of them didn't even have a clue it only applied to foreign based websites, they were all saying youtube was gonna fall. Anyway, my main point is that when people take advantage of freedoms to do shit that hurts those in power creating jobs the government is gonna smack that freedom down. Happens over and over and over again. Wow... are you for real? You accuse that 90% of people fighting SOPA were sheep and then you blather loud and clear like one. Wow. Here's a quick way of saying it, my style: Fuck off. Taking away freedoms has happened too much and it has reached a critical point, otherwise the whole internet wouldn't rise up to fight such laws as they did. Or the Pirate Party who defends internet and personal freedom wouldn't be right now the third fucking biggest party in Germany that according to polls will win a lot of seats in the German govt. OR in Austria where it's the 4th biggest party now, I believe. You wouldn't see the rise of these parties if people were sheep as you claim. Or how Poland and many Eastern European countries had HUGE street protests against ACTA and it was so bad even Polish MPs wore Guy Fawkes/Anonymous masks on the motherfucking Polish parliament. In fact these protests have pretty much killed ACTA in Europe since the Eastern countries now are refusing to sign that EU treaty, therefore rendering it completely void for all EU. This is not a sign of sheepish people, on the contrary, it's a sign of informed people who are sick of this shit. No sorry, just fuck off. It won't be due to sheep like you, and yes you are the sheep here, that will lie down and take it in the ass that MY personal freedom and the freedoms of everyone around it will be taken away. And if you think that it will happen, just look at what will happen with CISPA now as the net is stirring again. A small group abusing things IS NOT a fucking excuse to destroy freedom for all just because a tiny elitist group wants it.
