Bulletstorm 2 Cancelled, People Can Fly Working On New Game

Bulletstorm 2 Cancelled, People Can Fly Working On New Game

Epics Games’ Mike Capps has told Gamespot that Bulletstorm 2 will not happen because of disappointing sales numbers, and that People Can Fly, the dev behind the shooter is now working on something new.

“I’d love to go back. I think there’s more to do with Bulletstorm,” said Capps.

“Heck, it kind of ended wanting more. I’d love to see another project,” he added.

Capps also confirmed that some work hard already begun on the sequel, however because of poor sales, everything stopped.

“From a sales perspective it was good, but not amazing. I think EA was hoping we’d do better,” he said speaking about sales.

Capps did pin some blame on the PC version of Bulletstorm, claiming that piracy had a great role to play with its demise.

“It didn’t do very well on PC and I think a lot of that was due to piracy. It wasn’t the best PC port ever, sure, but also piracy was a pretty big problem,” he contended.

As for People Can Fly’s next project…

“We found a project that we thought was a better fit for People Can Fly. We haven’t announced that yet, but we will be announcing it pretty soon,” he said.

    this makes me a sad sad panda!
    figures the one time we get a colorful game that is not like every shooter out there a sequel gets canned!
    the same old shit releases year in year out and gets sequels every year, where the fresh and original gets a one night stand!
    sigh.
    im starting to believe the industry hates originality!

    The biggest mistake was releasing this game the same day as Killzone 3….

    dident matter when it released it was a new IP from a unproven developer in a flooded genre with a weird style.
    it was never going to do too well, in fact epic should be proud it sold as well as it did!
    especially considering the PC port was a heap of %$#@!
    one of the WORST PC ports ive ever played!!!!!!!!!!
