Gamereactor a vu tourner Bulletstorm. Au lieu de nous parler précisément du gameplay en détaillant la vitesse de déplacement, la puissance des armes, le nombre d’ennemis affichés à l’écran et ce genre de broutilles qui n’intéressent plus personne, ils nous exposent le background du jeu dans ses moindres détails :
Mankind have left they playpen known as planet Earth and taken giant strides into a greater universe. The player steps into the shoes of a hulking mercenary called Grayson « Gray » Hunt. He is the leader of a killing crew called Dead Echo and answers directly to General Serrano, who controls the universe with an iron fist. Dead Echo is a clean up crew who takes care of business without asking questions. At the beginning of the game we are thrown straight into a job where things aren’t what they seemed and as a result Gray defies his orders. Things go downhill from there.
From being at the top of the food chain Gray is all of a sudden public enemy number one. Serrano doesn’t take lightly to mutiny and sends all his resources after Gray, who is forced to take up life as a space pirate with his best friend Ichi Sato. Ichi is more of a thinker and balances out some of Gray’s madness.
Ten years later we catch up with the two friends again. After securing a successful bounty they are looking for some time off in a quiet corner of the universe. Once again things don’t go according to plan, and they bump into General Serrano’s giant war ship Ulysses. Gray doesn’t think twice about attacking and the prologue ends with an impressive display of fireworks as our friends crash into the control room of the Ulysses and both ships tumble to the ground. They end up on a planet called Stygia…
Résumé pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas l’anglais : bla bla bla.
