A Bulletstorm follow-up was in the works before Epic Games moved Polish developer People Can Fly to a new project, president Mike Capps told GameSpot this weekend at PAX East.

"We thought a lot about a sequel, and had done some initial development on it, but we found a project that we thought was a better fit for People Can Fly," he said. "We haven't announced that yet, but we will be announcing it pretty soon."

"I'd love to go back [to Bulletstorm]," he added. "I think there's more to do with Bulletstorm. Heck, it kind of ended wanting more. I'd love to see another project, but right now we don't have anything to talk about."

Regarding the original Bulletstorm, Capps said the foul-mouthed first-person shooter didn't live up to publisher Electronic Arts' expectations.

"I think Bulletstorm was very critically successful, and I think a lot of folks really enjoyed seeing something new," he said. "From a sales perspective it was good, but not amazing. I think EA was hoping we'd do better."

Capps also claimed that the PC version of Bulletstorm was hurt by piracy, but also admitted that it was a less than stellar port which may have hurt sales, too.

"We made a PC version of Bulletstorm, and it didn't do very well on PC and I think a lot of that was due to piracy. It wasn't the best PC port ever, sure, but also piracy was a pretty big problem."

I have to say that addvertising game they made, Duty Calls , was a lot more interesting then bullerstorm itself...

Can't say I'm too bothered by this, Bulletstorm is one of those games that I started but just can't bother finishing because it isn't all that...

well i hope the projec they move to is worth the change in direction

I started it and.... That was like the entire game.. It was that short..

He complains that it was pirated a lot though it wasn't a game worth buying, even for $5.

too bad..I actually enjoyed that game more than gears 1 and 2

I always laugh at devs who make a PC port, especially making the most out of the PC.

Talk about getting little bang for your buck. Piracy.

The PC version is pretty half-arse
great game for $10 tho, multiplayer is fun, but if I had payed full price for it I would have been very disappointed with it.

game was okay,but nothing to write home about.
