An interesting tidbit came out of aBodycountinterview with Codemasters game director Andy Wilson. “We looked atBulletstormand I think it’s fair to say that it was a sort of ‘acid test’ for us,” he tells CVG. “Because they were coming out first we were very interested in how they did and it’s a very good sign.”
“It shows that there’s room around those huge titles likeBattlefieldandMedal of Honor. It’s nice to see that you can still have multi-million-selling FPS games that are not that.Brink‘s the next one.Brink‘s even more extreme thanBulletstorm. I know it’s having some critical problems at the moment but if it does well commercially then that’s another one …”
It’s funny to see this discussion about the market being saturated by military shooters when we’ve got these three titles, all of which tried to have a standout identity, taking slightly different approaches. At least August is still a ways off.
