Bulletstorm Gun Sonata DLC out on consoles now, PC 'soon'
by Alice O'Connor, Apr 13, 2011 7:00am PDT
In February, Epic Games boldly announced a Bulletstorm downloadable content before the game had even launched. That pack, named Gun Sonata, is now available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points).
Gun Sonata adds three new arenas for the Anarchy multiplayer mode, along with two new maps for the single-player score attack Echo mode. You also get another two Leash enhancements, the charmingly-named Flamingo and Pulp.
A PC release for Gun Sonata is promised "soon." Hopefully it won't take as long as the Bulletstorm PC demo did, which launched ten weeks after the console edition.

You might not remember L4D2 (which was not so long ago) and how it got free content updates (on PC only), including two (or more) free 'expansion' pack (two totally new campaign levels/maps). So yes, it is funny how they can still be alive and doing very well. They have L4D, HL2, Portal, and even TF2 which is still played to this day and they keep getting contents (either from Steam or community) in almost a daily basis.
Besides that, us as gamers want to see the game stay alive, right? Well, like I said, do what Steam does. Give mod tools (or sell, I'm sure community will be fine). Have you seen how many maps are out there for free from modders who meticulously made them and not charge them? Heck, I'm actually replaying Max Payne 2 again last night with the total conversion mod just for the heck of it.
Yes, cost of game development may have tripled or more nowadays, but I hope you realize the quality actually has gone down. With that amount of programmers/engineers working on the same game, how can they still ship the game with bugs and have to really 'sell' updates/patches so that the game can work as intended? That's just shame. I understand the game is getting more complicated (maybe some are not), but dont you deserve a complete, fully working game when you spend $50 or $60++ on the game? I think you and everyone else here does.
