People Can Fly are promoting their upcoming Bulletstorm with Duty Calls, a parody of the most popular first-person shooter series around. It makes a lot of good points, but it totally fails to make a valid argument about why you should buy Bulletstorm.
Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.
"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂
I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.
Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.
Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.
But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.
So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.
It's an awesome game. The only exception (for my taste) is the script writing, which is OTT, but I guess that's what they were going for. It does at least match the OTT action and gore. I thought it was great overall and actually being in this game is going to be bonkers!
Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.
Agree with the over the top script, and felt at the time that was the only thing that people were hyped about, the language and not game play.
But in vr this game is going to be great. It has everything that would make a great vr game. Lots of bombastic action, gunplay, blood, and that leash.
Looking at the gameplay now it seems that the game was ahead of it’s time and was perfect for vr before vr wasn’t even off the ground.
I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.
I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.
GF365: "Here are eight games that need sequels. These games are ones that players would love to experience another time, bigger and better."
Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.
Eh, it did it's job. It's not like every day a developer would create an entire level, even a rudimentary one, to stick it to another game.
"Duty Calls fails at making a fair contrast and instead focuses purely on stirring controversy for easy publicity."
Which you are giving them. If you dont like it stop writing articles about it, hence giving them more free publicity.
Basically this boils down to Call of Duty fanboys having their feelings hurt as people point out the Call of Duty franchise is, and has been, utter wank for a long time.
They're clearly using CoD weak points like boredom, weak level design, etc to promote their own product, i don't see nothing wrong with this
I don't care what Duty Calls tried to do. It made me laugh, and really that's awesome. I wouldn't mind actually having a game like Duty Calls, being released as a full title. Make fun of a few more commonly used FPS tactics etc, should be a riot if done right. All this seriousness lately has just taken some of the fun out of gaming.
