There was 2011 in the yard and three letters ruled the world: COD. Pseudorealistic shooters about the fact that bad Russians have been mutating something there for several years as they were a dominant genre-not only did Call of Duty have a regular way, the infection, every year, alternating the developers, and also Battlefield with Medal of Honor, both went along the same curve of the path, tryingunsuccessfully. But it was in that year that brown jesets about hiding in shelters and tactics have done a decisive rebuff. It was then that Rage, Serious Sam and Hard Reset came out. Well, this patient was led by this movement for restoring fun in shooters today, boldly, boldly going on the attack and, with all the scope, struck brown despondency.
Well, what, but the lack of bright colors, you can’t reproach the game.
And … with a bang fell in sales. Twice.
Bulletstorm is a truly sad case, because everyone forgot about him, as soon as he could go out. Who is to blame (tell me, brother?) in this? Unsuccessful release date of the game – after all, February in the West is an absolutely dead season, the most bread time is in the fall and before Christmas? Unsuccessful marketing? Then as Cliff Bee with his tweet and the absence of a demo (and the mocking tweet was just about him) angry PC Gigrokov, which made up the main tsar for the pseudo-over-school jumper? The dog knows him, however, the fact remains, the game was very quickly forgotten and since then they remembered only in the tops of all sorts of underestimated games. And the recent remaster in no way corrected the situation.
The Polish Studio of PEOPLE CAN Fly, who had previously stooped the unforgettable Painkiller, was engaged in the development of this opus. Since the development of the Battle Out of Hell Addon, the studio has disappeared from the face of the earth and appeared only when it became known that they joined the Epic Games – and are developing our patient today. EPIC and PCF cooperation gave an interesting fruit with a very peculiar taste. Since Epic is Epic, Unreal Engine was responsible for the technical side of Grafonia, the most relevant at that time, the third variation, which meant that the picture would be at least not bad. PCF artists made it very good, filling it with bright and juicy colors-just at the peak of the aforementioned gray-brown games, fashionable at that time (if it seems to you that it is too early to talk about the “then” in relation to 2011, I remind you that it was seven years ago. Yes, the desire to shout from horror from the realization of how much time has passed completely normal, I myself am struggling with him now). Actually, only one thing spoils the excellent technical side of the game, because of which, probably, I have not passed the game in the four years that it spent in my library in Origin. And when Satan looked at this outfit, he called his Games for Windows Live and sent him to do evil to the ground, and his henchmen from Electronic Arts strictly punished not to patch the game and not to remove this squalor from it. Fortunately, the DLL-OK and NODVD pair did their job and the game was again ready for use.
However, even this game sometimes sins brown scenes.
Musical design in the game to the place, https://vegaswildcasino.co.uk/ but you can’t call it memorable. It is, it is good, but nothing more. Sound effects are well selected. The actors of the voicing honestly work out the fee, so there are no complaints about audio in the game.
Before we move on to the most delicious, I will mention the plot, because for mine it is very good for a shooter of such a caliber – at least it is clear that the developers tried to develop a character. I got it or not – I will leave it for everyone, but there is an effort. So:
The future has come. In this future, a certain Grayson Hunt, the owner of the Bacenbard, was found like Wolverine and voice like that … Wolverine (actor Stephen Blum often voiced Logan in all kinds of mults and games). Ten years before the events of the game, he and his roots entered the super-mega-secretary detachment “Dead Echo”, who was engaged in the extermination of all kinds of bad people … or at least they said that, because it turned out that they actually killed the innocent, but unwanted commander of people. Having sent the commander to all four sides, three letters and two middle fingers of Gray and his team of three became pirates, and his former commander announced their hunt. During these ten years, Gray realized that he was not enough for him and in addition he also became an alcoholic. When he was in a state of filing on his shipbuilder with a cruiser of the former commander and decided to give up this cruiser to all hell – because this is one of those ideas that seem to be cool when you are in firewood. Two shipwrecks (the cruiser in chips, like Gray ship), later Gray lost two team members, and the only survivor was badly injured and he had to implant so much cybernetics that it began to drip on his brains. By (ner) happiness their former commander, General Sarrano survived and even caused an evacuation-and Grayson was able to find out about it by capturing one of the special energy boards of the “Last Echo”, which, in addition to the Knut itself, also built a radio, a radar, a vacuum cleaner, a coffee maker and a MP3-player-player. So now he, along with his crazy friend, will have to meet the salvation together-and, if possible, revenge on the planet, teeming with bandits, savages, mutants and other worthy personalities.
He is just resting.
Although I will give a firm four (for action) for efforts, the dialogs cause a lot of surprise, in particular curses used by characters a lot and often, they sound extremely ridiculous, which gives the Polish origin of the game – and the developers later honestly admitted that they were in this regard.
But enough, you did not come to this game in order to read letters (because except for EA subtitles did not translate it. Because ea), you are here to wet goats with sophisticated ways. Well, dear friends, here the game reveals its cloak, under which something unimaginably beautiful is hidden – namely ten hours of pure awareness. Around the murders of the goats, the whole game is built with sophisticated methods and it holds it exclusively on this. In the game, tons of ways to kill enemies and each of them is rewarded with the N-by a number of points, which in turn are spent on the acquisition and improvement of weapons and the purchase of cartridges. The combination of these methods and the use of them at once on several enemies is encouraged and welcomed and all this is cleaned to shine. Almost every scene has a huge number of ways to send bastards to the forefathers, it is convenient to do it and everything is limited only by the skill and imagination of the player. In a special menu, you can read the available “skill shots” (the clumsy translation of the word “skillshot”, which was not only about shots), which are unusual murders, how many points are given for them and what is required to open new. Some of them tell you at once, some are unique and secret.
Enchanting points – alpha and omega of the game, its beginning and end. Will give the suffering one for nothing from the edge- something suffered me.
You have to do all this heavenly paradise not only by shooting enemies-oh no, shooting here is almost in second place, because the first occupy the whip and kick-you can hook the enemy with a whip and pull it to yourself, while it will depend in the air and you can do something fun with it-shoot it, kick it into it, etcetera. The kick is performed on the E and after it the enemy also, for a while, hangs in the air for a while – more precisely, it will slowly fly, illuminated by blue, after which the physicist will pretend that nothing was and will fly in a given direction – where there may be spikes, an abyss, a pond with pirania or a very hard wall. In addition, you can also perform a tackle on the run, which will also send the enemy to first a slow, and then a quick flight. Combining all this with weapons – which has a lot and each of which has an alternative firing mode – and the environment, which is diverse, and in some places it is unique – you need to kill the enemy beautifully and cool. If this is done very beautifully and very cool, then everyone on the screen can freeze and go out of what has just happened. And here all my praises to designers of levels and gameplay, because this is great raising what could be a rather standard and ordinary linear shooter about shelter and regen three -taller. Play frankly fun and this is the main thing. In addition to killing enemies with sophisticated ways, the game also does not skimp on an unexpected change in gameplay and unique cool moments, sometimes recalling the American slides by swiftness of the change of scenery. All this also extremely positively affects the impressions and sensations during the game.
Alas, the project failed. It seemed that there was no hope for a sequel, when suddenly in 2017 with a large pomp came to help from where certainly no one was waiting for her – from Gearbox. Remaster, the named Full Clip Edition, was designed to correct the injustice of the past, to attract an audience that the game deserved and finally raise it to the game Olympus. To do this, even one of the real icons of the first -person militants, Duke Nuukem was stuffed there.
But Gearbox is not a very good publisher, to put it mildly.
In the screenshot: the first time in many years, when Duke Nyukem appeared in a good game.
Selling a remaster of games in the cost of a brand new hit of AAA class-madness. Make DLC for pre -order, which will be paid for those who buy Remaster after the exit – double madness. Do not provide any discounts for owners of the original – suicide. But Gearbox did all the above. From the impeccable advantages of Remaster, it is worth noting the absence of Games for Windows Live and the same DLC that replaces Grayson with Duke Nyukem, with fully voiced dialogues, in which Duke is in full swing, makes references to his games and is interested in what goblin calls him to Greem. Of the minuses – the difference in the chart of the remister was searched for the day with fire, and comparing it with the original side by side, for a long time they could not understand what should be from this a remaster. Not that there is no difference at all, but it is insignificant, but in places very for an amateur. Nevertheless, at least for the same absence of GFWL a remister can be safely recommended for those who do not have an original game.
At a very big discount.
Okay, Duke can be drunk, and does not know that the “chewing gum” is written without “e”, but what is the translator’s excuse?
