"Bulletstorm" Trademarked By Painkiller Developer
People Can Fly, the Polish developer best known for their work on the rag-doll and impalement heavy Painkiller game, has recently filed a trademark for a new IP. The Epic Games-owned studio has reserved the use of the name "Bulletstorm" for future PC, console, and arcade game releases.
People Can Fly were responsible for the PC port of Epic Game's Gears of War, and were later purchased by the impressed company. The following year, EA announced they were poised to publish a brand new IP from Epic's newly acquired studio. Could Bulletstorm be the new IP Epic's Mark Rein was praising back in 2008 for its prototypes that had Epic "totally blown away?"
