Sure, they're shooters but I thought that they could be good to compare to.

Bulletstorm: A game made by the creator's of Painkiller AKA "People Can Fly" and published by EA. Judging by the screens, it's a brutal sci-fi FPS with some of the most stunning visuals. According to the "first look preview" on GS It's kind of like a mix of Gears of War and Borderlands.

Vanquish: Created by PlatinumGames who brought us Bayonetta and published by SEGA (who also published Bayonetta) comes a shooter with fast paced combat and is based on some kind of oil war between Russia and the US.

Which will eventually turn out better? I am more excited for Bulletstorm but judging by the poor reviews of Painkiller: Resurrection it could turn out as a flop. But it more likely to be great seeing that this is a new IP all together. I would say Vanquish will do better seeing that PG seem to be more lauded and professional.

Discuss. ^^

I've never heard of Vanquish, but Bulletstorm looks stupid to me.

Both will probably suck, but i have a feeling that Vanquish could be a bit more fresh.

Bulletstorm is made by the people that made painkiller. Fun game no doubt. Vanquish is made by Shinji Mikami the creator of Resident Evil. Who's last third person shooter is Resident Evil 4(need I remind you all how well that turned out?) Yeah I'm banking on Vanquish. It totally has nothing to do with the fact that they did Bayonetta so I have a platinum games bias >_>

If this ends up great too, Platinum are starting to build quite a legacy. Though if you count the games they made as clover, they would be even farther along. :P

Clover doesn't have anything as "meh" as Madworld in their legacy. It feels like a bad debut game, so they are platinum who just happen to have clover people on the team :P But yeah I'm really excited to see footage of vanquish. I think it's going to be a more interesting third person shooter than what we've been getting. But yeah if Vanquish is as good as Bayonetta than I might end up with a new favorite developer(well maybe one more kickass game, and after that they are favorite).

I like the style of Vanquish so i want that to do better, but then again Bulletstorm looks like old school Duke Nukem style brutal pure fun gameplay.

Bulletstorm, because...

you can shoot a guy in the crotch, and then in the head, and then this pops up:

500: MERCY KILL

So it's not super serious, and it's super gratuitous. Sounds like MadWorld on 360 and PS3 to me.

Vanquish looks overly generic, so I'm going with Bulletstorm.

Vanquish seems more up my ally. The Bayonetta company making a shooter should be pretty fun and different. Bulletstorm is yet another FPS in a gen with about a billion of them.

but judging by the poor reviews of Painkiller: Resurrection it could turn out as a flop.^^

Nega3

People Can Fly didn't work on Painkiller: Ressurection, so no worries :)

Anyway, from what I've seen so far Bulletstorm is the more promising one, the live demo I saw was just jaw dropping

Because it wasn't shown to public, just like real Bulletstorm gameplay (there they only showed a trailer). I just make my living as gaming journalist for polish website
