Bulletstorm Preview : "killing with skill"

Developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games, the maker of the Gears of War franchise as well as the Unreal Engine, the game is set on Stygia, a paradise on the outskirts of the galaxy, during the 26th century. The story follows Grayson Hunt, a space pirate, alongside his partner Ishi Sato, both dishonorably discharged from a group called Dead Echo after they betrayed their commanding officer. After a liquor-induced attempt to take revenge on Dead Echo, their ship lands on Stygia, forcing them to confront mutants, monsters, and everything in between.

Featuring a unique system that rewards players for "killing with skill", where it encourages you to kill in as many stylish, extravagant ways as possible. Bulletstorm utilizes over-the-top combat moves and massive weapons to provide user with memorable experience. The mechanic called “skillshots,” awards players with more creative moves and “skillshots” when they cause mayhem. For example, if you were to set an enemy on fire and then shoot him, you would be given additional points for creativity. Another example would be kicking an enemy off of a cliff. This ensures that you can play through the game multiple times, competing with friends for the top spot on the leaderboards.
