Popular Post Bizzy_Montana_ Posted November 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, a while ago (6th October 2016) I wrote this mail to People Can Fly: Dear staff of People Can Fly, A couple of years ago, I really enjoyed your masterpiece Bulletstorm on PS3. The idea of skillshots and the overall presentation have been particularly great and I want to thank you for this very kindly. Now, rumors about a “Full Clip Edition” of Bulletstorm came up and I really wish that you work on this title behind the scenes. I am definitely going to buy a remaster on day 1 as I really want to show my support for your work and effort (but this is not my main point of this mail). That being said, I was unable to play the DLC’s for the original version back then due to various reasons. A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to collect all the trophies which you have implemented as I am a dedicated trophy hunter (you can see this on my profile on for example psnprofiles.com )-> https://psnprofiles.com/Bizzy_Montana_ Unfortunately though, I have heard that the shutdown of the GameSpy features led to a server closure, rendering the DLC-trophies impossible to obtain. Therefore, I kindly want to ask you whether you would be able to boot the servers up again for a short amount of time (for example one week in November 2016). I have read about this topic and for example R* Games had implemented a new server structure for GTA IV which did not need GameSpy anymore in order to run the services. Please tell me whether you would want to re-open the servers for your fans. I would even spread the news on sites such as psnprofiles.com in order to give as many people as possible the chance to finally obtain 100 % of the trophies in Bulletstorm. If you are not directly able to deal with this topic, please tell me about the responsible company / department and name me a way to contact them. If you are able to deal with this topic, I’d highly appreciate if you would forward my message to the deciding person. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. With kind regards from Germany, PSNID: Bizzy_Montana_ End of the mail. And today I actually received a reply: Hey there, Sorry for a late reply. The only thing I can offer right now is to ask you to be a little patient. We have some exciting news to share soon, Stay tuned! Seb End of the mail. I am really looking forward to the news they have to share and I guess that many of us would be very thankful if we would be able to earn the DLC-trophies in the original Bulletstorm again, even if it would only be for a short time. If the developers would actually take a look at this site, I assume they would enjoy a lively discussion about this topic. What do you think about the possibility of the servers being re-upped? Share your thoughts here! Greetings from Germany Edit: I changed the name of the thread due to it being somewhat misleading.

Saionji Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I highly doubt they will bring back servers for BulletStorm on PS3 but I read some news about BulletStorm remaster for PS4 so thats what I think they meant, that you will be able to enjoy it on PS4.

TheYuriG Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 That means absolutely nothing and you might be hyping people for absolutely no reason. Pretty sure they are going to come up about something related to the remaster instead which was already announced, but I don't know if was released yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesuDesuNya Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 As people have said, this is much, much more likely to be about the remaster. Don't expect any old PS3 servers to return anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowxSakura Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 That exciting news they plan to share is likely about the remaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totallycrushed Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 At least you were honest about wanting the online trophies. I see to many of these kinds of letters to devs begging to bring the servers back online saying "There's many of us who LOVE your game and it's online multiplayer" just bullshitting through their teeths. While it might be true, a handful of dedicated players isn't enough to have a reason to keep some games online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzy_Montana_ Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 From the economical point of view I guess that rebooting the servers won't be very uselful, but who knows. Thought I'd share it with you anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I'm still waiting for a Steamworks version of Bulletstorm on, huh, Steam. Would like to get rid of my Origin, GFWL-ridden version. "We have some exciting news to share soon" is so PR-esque, btw...

Bullstomp Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It would be nice if they did, but I agree with everyone else. They are likely hyping a remaster. Which would still be good but not help those of us who have the PS3 version in backlog . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonemankane Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hyping people can be a painkiller to any game, just look at no man's lie I mean sky, giving hope when there is none in the first place will just make us hate it more, and to me this is just hyping people that trophy hunt about getting them online trophies and when it does not happen people will be pissed. The only hope here is that they are talking about the remaster so we could get it soon or even a date of it coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximum Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Would be cool if they brought it back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldsBestSpy Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floorkiller74 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It would be nice to see them back up, as the game is perfectly playable on 360 and PC...it kinda bugs me that this is the only platform it's down on. That said, I actually do enjoy the MP. There are some very easy trophies I never did bother to get I'm sure that they are talking about a remaster, which I would totally be behind....but opening the PS3 servers again would go a long way with gamers.

BIOHAZARD-R-US Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Maybe the remaster will have online servers and that's what they're hyping you in that email? Most remasters don't come with their online active (The Uncharted Collection, The Ezio Collection, Bioshock 2, just to name a few), so a remaster with the online might be coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowwindow7 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 sound like they're talking about the Remastered version will have an online multiplayer of its own shipping with the game ( since you told them about thinking of getting the remaster version when it's out ).

ahmedelebiary Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 pretty sure its gonna be the remaster reveal .. but who knows maybe they will re-open the ps3 servers as a bonus ? eh anyways i sold my bulletstorm long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I think the "exciting" news is its coming to ps4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2V89 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It has to be about the remaster news as I don't think they will open the PS3 servers at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIOHAZARD-R-US Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Add Darksiders II to the list. Indeed, but I was just stating off the first couple that came to mind right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Looks like the rumors about the remasters were true. Meh, i would've preferred that they converted the original from GFWL to Steamworks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marfidude Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 If the servers come back online I'll be on there ready to help people get the platinum as well as get it myself. A great game I never got to 100% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldsBestSpy Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Sadly you were most likely wrong. They announced a remaster. What a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeM2k2 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Bulletstorm's online can be access again using a replacement Gamespy authentication server - see https://github.com/gonespy/bstormps3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the DLC back in the day, I may get them off the US Store but don't have a US game yet to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
