Bulletstorm Remaster Coming in 2017, published by Gearbox

More news has surfaced about the rumored remaster of underappreciate shooter, Bulletstorm.

September 29, 2016 10:04 AM

It’s been a while since any news about the rumored Bulletstorm remaster has hit the internet. This time, however, we might actually have solid information. According to a listing by a reliable Brazilian ratings board (thanks to Gematsu for the heads up), the underappreciated shooter will come to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC sometime in 2017.

For those who don’t remember, screenshots of the Bulletstorm remaster were included in a package of assets that were given out by Microsoft this past June at E3. Judging by the images the game has received quite a significant overhaul, with the visuals showing a well-crafted new coat of paint. According to the ratings board, the Bulletstorm remaster will be published by Borderlands and Battleborn publisher, Gearbox. The studio or studios working on the remaster have not yet been announced.

  Shack really liked bulletstorm, publishers have been pumping out super lazy remasters lately though.

    Yeah it's Gearbox. I'll pass until there's a sale, if the remaster is any good.

  I was so pissed that it was on the Steam Summer sale when the game can't be launched without installing a crack to disable GFWL.
  
  Fuuuuck them and their remake.

        Yeah I was actually surprised. Took a while to update GFWL and then I had to recover my password because I hadn't used it in years. But once I did all that it worked

      I tried the demo and decided against it. The writing felt really lazy and fell flat for me. DICKTITS just didn't do anything for me.

        Same here. The so called "humor" was way too sophomoric for me. Even without that,the actual shooting mechanics just weren't very good to me.
        
        I'll give them credit though. They basically did took advantage of Duke Nuke'em being in development hell,and essentially made the same game.

  Fucking awesome game but the GFWL bullshit was horrendous. I'm cautious though, because Gearbox.
