Ubisoft has announced a Call of Juarez: Gunslinger release date of May 22.

The game will be priced at £11.99 on PSN and PC and 1200 MSP (£10.28) on Xbox Live.

Pre-ordering the PC version will give players immediate access to the second entry in the Call Of Juarez series, Call Of Juarez: Bound in Blood. Uplay pre-orders will also grant players access to an exclusive pack of weapons.

Gunslinger is the fourth entry in Ubisoft's FPS franchise, following 2006's Call of Juarez, 2009's Bound in Blood and 2011's Call of Juarez: The Cartel.

Featuring brutal shootouts and dynamite-powered explosions, Gunslinger returns the series to the Old West after The Cartel experimented with a modern day setting.

Call of Juarez: Borderlands Edition

Why do enemies look so fucking flat, like cutout cardboard propped up in the 5th picture

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Eh, I don't know about this one.

 

[antitrop]

It can't be worse than the third one. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood was pretty solid, I know this is a budget game and on rails and shit, but it could be good.

 

[FloatOn]

With blood dragon and now this. I think I appreciate the bite sized high concept shooter at a low cost. Zero chance to wear out it's novelty. Unless it is that bad.

 

[SlasherJPC]

On rails? Really? Doesn't look on-rails, unless I'm not understanding the term.

 

[Radogol]

On rails? Really? Doesn't look on-rails, unless I'm not understanding the term.

I think antitrop means it's not open world, which it isn't.

It's not on rails like a lightgun game if that's how you understood it.

 

[derExperte]

Huh, a low budget title? Interesting on one hand and better than nothing but kinda disappointing as it won't be able to compete with the first two. I guess they cut the story.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Well all the games have been level based though, that's why it threw me off.

 

[rocksteady1983]

I like the look of it in the trailers. Looks fairly fun imo. Red Dead is one, of if not my favorite game of the generation so another western game would be nice (if it doesnt suck). Regardless, it will probably be a $20 game for me if I buy.

Oh, this was the impression I was under when the game was first announced. Nevermind, then.

 

[maverick40]

and no one gave a shit.

You're in luck, it's going to be less than $20 right out of the gate.

I'm interested because I liked the second game a lot. But I hope this trailer isn't also indicative of the enemy AI. They just appeared to stand there.

 

[FYC]

It can't be worse than the third one.

Pretty much.

I've never played the first two but my friend adores the first. This looks okay.

 

[dragonflys545]

The Cartel was so bad...

 

[ArjanN]

Pretty much.

I've never played the first two but my friend adores the first. This looks okay.

The first two were pretty good.

 

[Noisepurge]

is this still on rails? any gameplay footage anywhere yet? that first trailer indicated on rails :E

and yeah, try Bound in Blood, that was a good game with an amazing soundtrack!

edit: oh, just noticed the trailer link in the OP my bad.

 

[Radogol]

is this still on rails?

Where does that come from? It was never on rails.

 

[Neuromancer]

and no one gave a shit.

Speak for yourself. This looks pretty good to me.

 

[Noisepurge]

and no one gave a shit.

this is a good way to get yourself banned!

 

[x-Lundz-x]

and no one gave a shit.

The last one was a great co-op game. Hope this one is as well.

 

[derFeef]

and no one gave a shit.

Really?
First two COJ games are great.

 

[Lotto]

Trailer looks promising. Hoping this is going back to form (more like Bound in Blood than Cartel). The Cartel was the worst game I've played in a long time.

 

[Andrew.]

Due to my overabundant love for westerns in general, I'm sure I'm going to end up playing this just because, regardless of its possible shittiness. The first one wasn't that bad.

 

[VanWinkle]

Wait, so this is a $15 game? I had no idea. I assume then that it doesn't have multiplayer?

Edit: What's this about on rails? Does anybody know for sure whether it is not? That could explain the low price but it would also make me sad.

 

[Neuromancer]

Is the train in the third picture on rails?

 

[Noisepurge]

Edit: What's this about on rails? Does anybody know for sure whether it is not? That could explain the low price but it would also make me sad.

the first trailer seemed very on-rails without character movement and screenshots looking like shooting galleries.

 

[derFeef]

TBH this does seem heavy on shootouts, so maybe it's a big focus. Which would make sense considering the name and all.

 

[Neuromancer]

I hope the excellent cover system from the second game is in this.

 

[VanWinkle]

Ah, I just looked at this video and it's clear that it's not on rails. That's good.

 

[derFeef]

Is he wearing a motorcycle helmet or why are there glass-cracks when he is getting hit, jeeze. Looks good otherwise.

edit: Or whatever that effect is, looks weird and annoying.

 

[Lijik]

Dug the first two and I like the super over the top vibe of the trailer.
Looking forward to it

 

[VanWinkle]

Supposed to be a camera lens obviously but yeah, looks a little dumb.

 

[sn00zer]

Ive always had real trouble with the artstyle in these games...they are so busy, makes it very confusing to look at

 

[antitrop]

Due to my overabundant love for westerns in general, I'm sure I'm going to end up playing this just because, regardless of its possible shittiness. The first one wasn't that bad.

The second one was better. I think I feel like replaying it...

 

[ironcreed]

Looks fun, it's cheap and I'm glad to see the series back in old west. Maybe not day one, but it's still a buy for sure.

 

[Dawg]

I played a preview version of this game and I really really really liked it.

This is coming from someone who hates the previous CoJ games.

Dual wielding two revolvers is awesome in this game, really.

 

[xam3l]

What's the deal with slo-mo deaths?

 

[Raptor]

Will buy this only because of the blood all over the place.

 

[Messofanego]

I think this will be one of those games where I just play the demo and have no urge to buy it. Same thing I did with other Call of Juarez games.

At least this won't have questionable racism or sexism, right?

 

[derFeef]

RPS impressions sound good.

[ArjanN]

Ah, I just looked at this video and it's clear that it's not on rails. That's good.

Looks fun. Like a more action-packed arcade-like version of the first two games.

 

[LongDongJunon]

Speak for yourself. This looks pretty good to me.

...and my love affair with Neuromancer continues ever stronger.

 

[SlasherJPC]

I freaking love Western games so this is one of the few DL games I'm highly awaiting!

 

[Neuromancer]

...and my love affair with Neuromancer continues ever stronger.

I'm feeling mildly uncomfortable. (But only mildly.)

Actually now that I've watched the video I'm willing to upgrade my impressions from 'pretty good' to 'very good.' I'm excited.

 

[RoboPlato]

I didn't realize this was a downloadable title. I'm actually interested now that it'll be cheap.

 

[Big_Al]

So I was looking around randomly and found a shitload of new footage, at least I don't think I've see any of this stuff posted before. Apologies if I'm wrong.

[VXLbeast]

In the Lost Planet 3 thread, I said that there was no game I wanted to play less than LP3.

I was wrong.

 

[Bedlam]

I don't like the cartoon-shader look, to be honest.

Where does that come from? It was never on rails.

I also "felt" that it was on rails since they showed the first footage of the game. Dunno, it looks weird.

 

[Andrew.]

Ubi struck gold with Blood Dragon. Let's see if they can do it again for another 15 bucks.
