    I hope this game has multiplayer leaderboards. I think that could be very entertaining

    The demo has leaderboards. I don't see why the full game wouldn't.

    Unless the leaderboards can gauge your Teamwork-ness.

    Do we know if scores in the co-op modes are for the whole team or individual? If individual, it could be a regular leaderboard. If as a team, it could show who you got the score with.

    Epic is continuing it's tongue-in-cheek poking at other games with a mini game called "Duty Calls"

    Bulletstorm Rips on Call of Futy with "Duty Calls" minigame

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIOxjztMZfc&feature=player_embedded

    It features :

    1. Duty Vision™ slows down the action so you can unload a storm of bullets
    2. Immersive dialogue from the front lines
    3. Cold, calculated realism
    4. Killing animations motion captured from real actors
    5. True-life reloading system allows for mistakes in putting the cartridge in the gun
    6. Iconic sound effects
    7. Thwart an enemy threat that could topple the country and possibly the world
    8. Significant and historically accurate props

    I not quite sure what it says when your parody makes more sense than the actual thing.

    Now all Epic has to do is take a piss at its own pretentious, mindless shooterganza called Gears of War, and we can call it a day.

    You know, I have to say, that's probably one of the best pieces of marketing I've ever seen for any video game

    Mostly because I didn't know it was marketing for Bulletstorm until I finished it

    I wanna know what that was. And why there isn't more.

    Also, I got to try out the demo of Bulletstorm. Its actually pretty fun. Short but eh, gives you a feel for the combat which is meaty.

    An entire parody FPS could be extremely entertaining if done well. That video was hilarious, but it would start to wear thin without some clever writing/direction I think.

    Anyway, I am looking forward to Bulletstorm. Always like fast-paced unrealistic shooters more than srs bsns "war" FPS games.

    That is a fucking awesome parody video, way better than the (kinda stupid) Halo one

    Anyways, just played the demo. I really like the feel of the shooting in general, I love the look and style of the game, the leash is awesome, etc.

    I'm just not into that whole Club-style Tony Hawk score attack thing, though. That has no appeal to me. I'd like to see another FPS done in this over-the-top manner without that stuff, though.

    well i mean, the scoring is sort of what makes it fun. at first glance the game seems to just have fun tools to kill with, but once you start to rack up points, you find more skillshots and more combos and before you know it- you've played the demo 40+ times.
    besides, if you dislike the scoring aspect of it it's fairly easy to just kill people however you want while ignoring your score. but, once you start to get creative, it's hard to not to want to improve on your old scores because you start to realize all the easy points you miss along the way.

    i never got into the club either, but the shooting mechanics were dull and it was not arcade-y enough. this game has enough charm, funny dialouge, and unique gameplay to earn my $60 next month.

    Well, you should at least rent the game. The campaign has none of that stuff.

    The scoring system is exclusive to the Echo mode I think. The story mode itself shouldn't be all 'VELOCITY' or 'VOODOO KILL' all the time.
