“ Bulletstorm is so action-packed, so close to the action, and with such physical interaction, it just looked like it was designed for VR.”Īt the time, Incuvo was independent and fresh from its VR adaptation of two of Bloober Team’s horror titles - Layers of Fear and Blair Witch, both for Oculus Quest and PlayStation VR. “When we were searching for a next project, we looked at Bulletstorm and thought this game, with its mechanics, was actually, like, designed for VR,” Kucharski said.

Gratuitously violent and absurdly foul-mouthed (does anyone else remember “Hey, dick tits!”?), even if Bulletstorm drew laudatory reviews for its gameplay, particularly its ammunition economy, it hardly seems like a game that could be called “ahead of its time.”īut it is, insists Radomir Kucharski of Incuvo, the Polish virtual reality port shop that Bulletstorm maker People Can Fly acquired at the end of 2021.

You wouldn’t expect it for a game that, in hindsight, scans more as a Duke Nukem-esque guilty pleasure that came nowhere close to its sales expectations.

A dozen years later, Bulletstorm, somehow, endures.
