Why There's No Bulletstorm Co-op

[Feb 20, 2011, 3:22 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Bulletstorm developer interview on the Telegraph talks with "Clifford" Bleszinski, asking the artist formerly known as CliffyB some questions about Bulletstorm as Epic prepares to launch the first-person shooter they co-developed with People Can Fly (thanks Computer and Video Games). One question asks why there's no campaign co-op, and Clifford explains that they found that it made the game into a "downhill skiing simulator," saying:

First off, it was in there at one point and it actually worked, but we found that the game shifted from being this kind of puzzle shooter into essentially this downhill skiing simulator, where people were seeing how fast they could get to the bottom of the mountain. Really the game just broke down, and it was a situation where people would race through the game, ignoring the vistas and they wouldn't set up as many skillshots. So when we made the decision to go straight campaign, it gave us the chance to put in one-offs that could only be controlled by one player, like the giant robotic dinosaur, where you don't have to worry about Player 2, or slow motion one-offs that could only occur in a single player game.

Beamer you are employing typical troll tactics, quoting paragraphs without including the most important part of the guys original post.

The price. He is simply saying this game is overpriced for what it offers. From your quote it "looks" like a childish rant, but when you include the price tag his point strikes home.

I dont get it. Why do you defend this game like its the second coming of Christ or something, or are you simply arguing for the sake of arguing? Please dont take this the wrong way, my interest is genuine. I for one have no opinions about this game one way or the other.

Ive never seen you once take a pro-gamer stance. In nearly every single thread you decide to post you seem to defend the industry against the very people that have made this industry what it is today. Gamers.
