It's not only making fun of call of duty, it is making fun of FPS games in general. CoD just happens to be the most popular. I thought it was pretty funny.

isn't that a little self-defeating, considering BUlletstorm is an FPS?

either way, I would notcall this publicity stunt making fun of FPS game in general; it was definately targeted at one specifice franchise, and one specific installment of that franchise as well.

I saw the humor, I even laughed a little, but this was pretty fracking dumb, like worse than Family Guy, and that is the bottom limit of where funny turns into stupid.

Part of the appeal is that it is self demeaning. It is a good thing to laugh at yourself once in a while. It shows that the developers have a sense of humor, and a lot of people can connect with this because usually developers are seen as these people locked in a room that make games and you never hear from them again unless they want to release a map pack for more money. It is nice to have developers who like to make jokes and what not. People can connect with the developers, and believe it or not, that helps sell games. Yes, it does look like it was just ripping on call of duty (mostly because of the name) but the other things they make fun of in the game are also found in other games besides call of duty.

But, that video is actually funny....b/c it's true. I never can get into COD stories. It really is like "blah, blah, blah - secret base etc. etc."

What's funny about this is what my brother pointed out to me... they had time to make a parody game, but apparently a PC demo for Bulletstorm couldn't be done.

Yeah I was just thinking that. Odd, and kind of annoying, because if I buy Bulletstorm, it will be on PC, and I'd like to see how it works on here first.

Bulletstorm is probably going to be one of the weakest shooters of the year. The 360 demo was meh. Guess they need the extra publicity.

To be honest when it was talking about story and generic secret base, we all count to you crap. All i could think was city interactive's fps. They all got a cheap ass story that is just an excuse to kill terrorists. When it showed the plenty ranks of sargeant, i could only think combat arms, it has like, 6 sargeant ranks or something.

Wait a minute.... DAMN YOU CLIFFY B :( Also i played it on ps3 and during loadscreens it says this: "For playing the demo, you will receive UNIQUE bonus items in the full game" Damn it :( Might as well buy it for ps3.
