Bulletstorm was not a financial success, an Epic Games executive has admitted.

Company president Mike Capps revealed that the innovative first-person shooter, which was developed by People Can Fly, failed to turn a profit despite offering AAA content.

"The studio has shipped AAA content. The next thing we do with People Can Fly will be great," he told Kotaku.

Speaking ahead of his keynote speech at next month's Games Developers Conference in Europe, Capps said that the company was disappointed with Bulletstorm's sales but had no regrets green-lighting the project.

Bulletstorm was released for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in February. The game, which topped the Xbox 360 chart on its release, features over-the-top weaponry and combat.

Players are rewarded for performing outrageous kills.

Despite receiving critical praise, Bulletstorm reportedly struggled to shift 300,000 units within its first month.

i tried the demo and it just seemed way too shallow.

So, why the heck did anyone think this title would do gangbusters? I am not surprised it lost money. It would hardly qualify as AAA. The demo was ok, but not all that either. What did it have intrinsically that people were craving?

hmm its a good game shame it didnt perform better.

that's what you get for messin with Killzone!!!(if anybody remembers "that article")

don't worry Epic Games you'll get you money back and then some with gears 3

Bulletstorm was a made to be a rental game. Very short campaign and not much extra content to warrant a purchase. The only reason it did as good as it did was because of the Gears 3 beta.

I'm not surprised I played the demo and was bored halfway through.

Cold hard truth I suppose.

wait they struggled to ship 300,000 first month, does that mean VGC has it over tracked.
well it was just an average game, with a really really short campaign, with essentially no multiplayer, so it had no replay value. also it went up against Killzone. and Cliffy B acted like a dick.
it got the sales it deserved

Bad game deserves bad sales.
