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."
The product failed because it was a fail product .
I don't care how many artist designers and man hours you pored into this project. it failed and it failed because , of YOU !! yes you Epic . you can blame piracy all you want but more and more proof is coming from the industry that there are gamers out there willing to spend good money on great ideas.
your product however was just another rehashed FPS. and the gamers out there are not going to part with their money for something they have been playing for years and years.
Whoever is leading you in what projects to take on needs to wake up and start pushing the freaking envelope and thinking outside the box.
because the gamers have spoken and with dollars and crowed sourced projects that they want to see brought to life .
and guess what it was not another fps.
so stop blaming piracy for the failing of your projects . and realize the success is fully on your shoulders. and the people who decide what to work on . i know it sucks busting your ass on these projects but the truth is the majority of gamers do not want them .
Its time to realize that .
