Bulletstorm Features Randomly Generated Bad Guys
Enemy variety is a problem that virtually every FPS struggles with, but the developers at People Can Fly have come up with a novel solution. By using a standard enemy template and randomly applying a variety of additional characteristics, players can shoot down an entire army of different looking goons.
This blog post by People Can Fly's lead gameplay designer details the different aspects that can be changed, including skin color, body shape, tattoos, clothing, hairdos, and accessories. The post includes a lot of interesting information on the topic, but if you're too lazy to read it, you can see it in action in the video below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
