Fox News Call for Bulletstorm to be Censored

GP Editor Jaime Donnelly writes, "Not content with labelling Bulletstorm as the worst video game in the world and supporting his point with misquotes and false accusations which had no scientific backing, John Brandon is at it again.

He is now taking issue with the fact that Bulletstorm will be censored in Germany, and argues that the same treatment should be applied in the United States as if Germany is a country which would only censor the very worst of violent video games. In fact, Germany is known for taking a strict approach to violent video games."

wouldnt that be un-american Fox?

wow a bunch of lousy hypocrites...

Wenis4841d ago

The only reason he continues to talk about this is because of the hits it is generating. I guarantee you he doesn't really give a rats ass about Bulletstorm.

guitarded774841d ago

I call for Fox News to be censored... permanently.

darksied4841d ago

That probably true, but you know what? Nowadays if I see Fox news putting out articles like this, I actually laugh at it. If they have to go this low to generate interest in their news, then that shows you how pathetic and worthless their "actual" news really is.

teething4841d ago

Fox... THIS is how you expand gaming marketing to a wider audience... for FREE.

lil Titan4841d ago

OH COME ON this game if all games is being talked about...Really? what about Black when it came out? or if you really what body parts flying what about soldier of fortune: payback when it came out? this game isnt that bad at all there are other game being banned in other countries but some how this game gets attention? i smell someone paying Fox to cover this game...Epic smh

hassi944841d ago

Nope, this is just good old Fox being its own ridiculous shitty self.

Jim Hawking4841d ago

This guy is a blogger, not a news reporter or a syndicated writer.

By the way,

I just now saw a story on FOX about how the Smithsonian is displaying the "art of video games" and it provided the website where people can vote on the best games to display. That alone is way more credit then the entire media to date has given video games. You people seriously need to shut up.

Shackdaddy8364841d ago

Fox news gives republicans a bad name. Even moderate republicans like me...

Shackdaddy8364841d ago

Why disagrees? Do you people even know what a moderate republican is?

lastdual4841d ago

John Brandon is one blogger that writes for the personal editorial section of the Fox News website. He doesn't eactly speak on behalf of News Corp, which is a huge organization.

It's just that putting "Fox News" in the headline generates a lot more hits than saying "John Brandon calls for censorship", etc.

lastdual: I looks like you are the only one besides me who gets it you deserve a bubble.

@shack

you probably should not call yourself any form of a rebublican on this site. Here they are considered evil corporate loving black hating homophobes that are retarded.

LightofDarkness4841d ago

@Lastudual and UP:

Nail. On. Head.

Conservatism is a cuss word on the internet, by and large. Europeans (I AM European :P) typically think you're some mullet-sporting racist with a checkered shirt, 5 teeth between you and your family and political views that extend about as far as the muzzle of a gun.

Shackdaddy8364841d ago (Edited 4841d ago )

@ Light

Moderate Republican is different. Check below. We are more like a mutt when it comes to politics :)

Nuclearwinter4841d ago

I agree. People like Glen Beck and Sarah Palin make me almost ashamed to call myself a republican.

sickbird4841d ago

Republicans give Republicans a bad name.

Shackdaddy8364841d ago (Edited 4841d ago )

Moderate republicans are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. i.e. I believe in lower taxes, balanced budgets, and free trade. While I also believe in liberal things such as gay rights, civil rights, etc.

We also all hate Bush and the bad name he gave to repubs. :)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You people need to learn a little more about political views imo.

LightofDarkness4841d ago (Edited 4841d ago )

Well, I'm more along the lines of a Libertarian (GLENN BECK IS NOT A LIBERTARIAN), in that I believe in the originating principles set forth by the constitution.

It is a widely held view for a "libertarian" (not really a party) to believe that social politics should be handled at the state, not federal, level. It is also believed that these are "personal" politics and should not be party policy. These issues include abortion and gay rights. What I personally believe about those issues is not a matter for the party, but for me alone to speak about if ever it comes to a vote.

Power has largely been stripped from the states, while more and more social issues are being mandated and legislated at a federal level. This is not how the country is supposed to operate.

Other beliefs: isolationist foreign policy (look it up, it's not what it sounds like), sound economics, small and limited government and an unregulated market.

NateCole4841d ago

Whats the difference between that and a moderate democrat?.

Dan504841d ago

Republicans do not want gays to have equal rights. They want them to be treated like black people were before the civil rights movement.

a_bro4841d ago

your not a republican then, you are an independent.

r2kcipher4841d ago

@LightofDarkness I am a liberal but amazingly enough I agree with alot of what libertarians believe in. Especially limiting the role of government in our private lives and not having our troops on foreign soil for no reason.

But I do not see eye to eye on deregulation. This government was created for the people by the people. And usually a market is regulated after the people were screwed over by the market. Just read The Jungle and then tell me if deregulation is still a good thing.

As for small and limited government, this is impossible without civil unrest. If we start cutting programs left and right people that use them will eventually begin to riot. It is true that our government is bigger now than it ever was but the same could be said about our population. Look at what happened to American car companies when they cut costs in a growth period.

Fox news can suck my balls. There not even a real news corporation, all they do is spew shit from their mouths.

darksied4841d ago

Ugh, that's gross. Spew ...

bwazy4841d ago

I'm a Canadian... I guess we have Liberals here...., but go Green party?

Shmotz4841d ago

Epic should tell them they'll censor the game when Fox removes the heavy bias.

DEADEND4841d ago (Edited 4841d ago )

God I hate Fox News with their stupid tea party right wing conservative bull crap. Always selling half the truth with a side of lie.

darksied4841d ago

Unfortunately, Fox news will be around forever. Why? Because as long as there are dumb people (people who listen and believe without thinking or researching) in the world, they will be successful. The rate of dumb people is going up, fast.

DEADEND4841d ago (Edited 4841d ago )

Really a disagree come on what angry tea party nut job is on n4g, don't you have some stupid episode of glenn beck to watch why are you stealth trolling for.

Duty Calls - Epic Games' Forgotten Call of Duty Parody

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.

closed_account342d ago

"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.

closed_account341d ago

Never too much Taco Tuesday!! Now if only we could just achieve eternal Taco Tuesdays without the inevitable Wipe-It Wednesdays!!! 😂😂

Bulletstorm - A Cult Classic Worthy of Revival?

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.

IMissJimRyan350d ago

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.

SullysCigar350d ago

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!

IMissJimRyan350d ago

Yeah, I agree that storywise it's not an Oscar nominee, but it's like a porn movie in game format.

Abnor_Mal350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

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.

Venoxn4g350d ago

I loved the game back in the day and will love in VR even more!

Yui_Suzumiya350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic349d ago

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.

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.

gleepot385d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
