Seems crazy that there isn't a megathread for this yet, so here it is. Info shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia and the Bulletstorm wikia.

Bulletstorm is an upcoming 2011 first-person shooter developed by People Can Fly and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The game is currently scheduled for a February 22, 2011 release.
[u]Story[/u]
Bulletstorm takes place in a futuristic setting where a futuristic confederation is being protected by an elite band of mercenaries known as Dead Echo. When Dead Echo members Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato discover that they had been working on the wrong side, they betray their squad commander and end up being exiled to the edges of the galaxy. Players take the role of Grayson Hunt a few years after his exile, who had since become a drunken space pirate. He ends up getting involved on an interstellar crash landing, where he meets his old comrade Sato. The two of them discover that they are surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh eating gangs in an abandoned paradise. The two of them decide to work together once again to get off the planet alive and take revenge on the man who sent them there.
But really, who gives a fuck about the story?
[u]Gameplay[/u]
Players utilize a large arsenal consisting of over-the-top combat moves and incredibly large weapons. Bulletstorm also consists of a variety of unique "Skill Shots" which create extreme levels of frantic gameplay. The skill shot gameplay system rewards the player for creating and inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more unique the skill shot, the more points players receive to upgrade their character, unlock weapons which allow the player to perform even more creative moves and exaggerated skill shots.
In addition to the single player campaign, there are two multiplayer modes: Anarchy (co-op) and Echo (competitive). In Anarchy mode, up to 4 players co-operatively battle through waves of enemies with progressive difficulty. In Echo mode, you compete with your online friends by playing through areas from the single player campaign in an attempt to get the highest skill shots score, which is tracked on an online scoreboard.

[u]Weapons[/u]
[b]Boneduster[/b]
[img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100901014815/bulletstorm/images/6/68/Bulletstorm-20100817095004609_640w.jpg[/img]
The Boneduster is a weapon featured in the upcoming game Bulletstorm. It is a four-barreled shotgun that shoots air which creates an impulse that pushes your target away from you so you can interact with the environment.
[b]Bouncer[/b]
[img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100924052531/bulletstorm/images/thumb/5/5a/Bouncer_Weapon.jpg/536px-Bouncer_Weapon.jpg[/img]
Bouncer is a weapon in the game, Bulletstorm. It is a portable cannon ball launcher. If the player charges first, then fires it, the cannon ball won't detonate until the player releases the trigger.
[b]Minigun[/b]
[img]http://images.wikia.com/bulletstorm/images/a/ac/Screenshot_16.jpg[/img]
The Minigun is a weapon featured in the upcoming game Bulletstorm. It supposedly fires 20mm cannon rounds, as it is able to tear body parts. It also has a substantially high fire rate, giving it high firepower to compensate for its low accuracy.
[b]Energy Leash[/b]
[img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100721054058/bulletstorm/images/thumb/8/82/Grayson_Hunt_Using_Leash.jpg/754px-Grayson_Hunt_Using_Leash.jpg[/img]
The Energy Leash is a whip-like energy rope used as a leash which can pull enemies towards Grayson Hunt and causes them to travel in slow motion for a limited amount of time. The Energy Leash is capable of two "attacks". One is simply the grab and drag, the other is the slam attack. The slam is where Grayson grabs an enemy and flicks his wrist up and then down. When he flicks his wrist up, there is a ball of energy that follows the invisible control line of his hand, and when his wrist goes down, an area of effect explosion happens. This explosion flicks up enemies barrels and guns lying around, and puts them in a sort of stasis field for 10 seconds.
[b]Flail Gun[/b]
[img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100818222458/bulletstorm/images/thumb/b/be/Screenshot_18.jpg/754px-Screenshot_18.jpg[/img]
The Flail Gun is a weapon featured in the upcoming game Bulletstorm. It fires two grenades that are attached together by a chain and after a few seconds it will explode.The Flail gun's alternate fire is activated by Grayson Hunt pressing a button on the handle of the gun, making fire shoot out of the pipes on the gun super-heating the chain, which when fired, cause the chain to burn and cut through enemies. Tying an enemy up with the flail gun and kicking them into a crowd of enemies will result in the skill shot "Gang Bang".
[b]Kick[/b]
[img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100830230325/bulletstorm/images/9/94/Bulletstorm-kick.jpg[/img]
Kick mofos into rebar, electrical circuitry, and all sorts of hazards.
[b]PeaceMaker Carbine[/b]
[img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100818222459/bulletstorm/images/thumb/c/cd/Screenshot_20.jpg/754px-Screenshot_20.jpg[/img]
The Peace Maker Cabine (PMC) is a basic weapon the player is given at the start of the game. The PMC appears to act like your standard assault rifle, but actually has the ability to be charged allowing the player to do more damage (unknown how to). If the PMC is fully charged, the player is granted the "Overkill" skill shot (worth 100 points) when they get a kill. It also was suggested that the PMC could be equipped with attachments.
The PMC actually does have a fully charged mode, Its where 100 rounds are fused together in a super heated mass and fired
[b]The Screamer[/b]
The Screamer is a powerful and accurate pistol. This high-caliber revolver will stop almost any enemy dead in their tracks.

Game looks cool, it wouldn't let me download the demo on XBL for some reason. I seem to remember alot of whining in the news node thread about bulletstorm full of people saying the game was going to suck because of no PC demo. I hope those people don't come and flock to this thread!
The demo was really fun. I love how it's just mindless shooting (ala Painkiller, thanks PCF) and takes the piss out of itself.
I'll probably pick it up for PC when it comes out, though, as I had a few accuracy problems with my DS3.
This game is so macho it hurts. Either it's a parody, or the people at Epic Games have finally lost it.
That said, I really enjoyed the demo.
Played the demo on the xbox a few times. Was pretty damn fun.
I got rid of the character section because it was all bollocks no one cared about, really.
Might wanna put the game logo at the top of the OP or something, but eh, gonna wait for reviews on it, played the demo and only thing I managed to do was a bullet kick and flyswat stuff, as well as get enemies caught up on enviorment and ruin what I was trying to do, and everything I thought I was doing cool didn't net me any points, Pull a guy torward me, shoot him a lot, kick him, switch to the exploding mine things, hit him with one in midair, set it off before he can touch the ground and get a amazing... +10 points
What
This game is ridiculously badass
So, has anyone beaten my score?
I played the demo, to me it seemed pretty bad. I had my hopes set too high for this game, I guess.
I played the demo, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a hectic, crazy shooter where you can do anything with the game. Unfortunately, the demo wasn't really that long to fully judge it, but it's looking good.
I'm looking forward to seeing more weapons.
I thought the demo was really fun, you forgot to add that the charged up shot of The Screamer fires out fireworks that stick to enemies and send them flying in a random direction, most of the time it's up.
Wait is the epic edition pre-order only?
It looks pretty fun, but I really think Epic should return to the Unreal Tournament series.
holy shit this game looks beautiful, gonna try out the demo.
Loving the game my favourite kills are voodoo, flyswatter and fireworks
my top score so far is 6620
5745 was my highest score on the demo. :saddowns:
[QUOTE=Big Ben;27678561]5745 was my highest score on the demo. :saddowns:[/QUOTE]
7010 was mine.
Welp. Wanted to try out the demo but I guess I'll have to wait until the free Gold weekend.
(I don't buy Gold seeing as though I mostly play on PC now and I rarely use the multiplayer aspect.)
I must've played the demo 10 times now, it's so addicting. I'm so excited for the full game.
Looks intense, the weapons look awesome.
Tried the demo on the PS3.
It's alright, I wouldn't pay anything over $20 for it though.
The demo made me NOT want to buy this game.
So stupid and obnoxious.
[QUOTE=Jzzb;27681187]The demo made me NOT want to buy this game.

Did you expect it to be smart and pleasant?
I quite enjoyed the demo on the PS3, but the whole time I was wishing I could use a mouse instead.
I found the demo quite enjoyable although I find the controls annoying. It's the sort of game I think would be better on PC. I also noticed it's far too difficult to turn while running.
Also did anyone else see the bottle of alcohol right after the dropkit? While under the effects of the alcohol every kill earns you skill points for being intoxicated.
My best right now is 9410. Pretty fun game, I might get it when it comes out.

If you climb over cover and kill an enemy by landing on him, you get Trip Wire.
[editline]26th January 2011[/editline]
If the glowing green guys get something on you you'll get "Toxic Love", +50 for every kill. It works like Intoxicated, but doesn't give as much. The effects stack, so you can get +150 per kill.
[QUOTE=ChosenOne54;27678059]It looks pretty fun, but I really think Epic should return to the Unreal Tournament series.[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure epic isn't making this. It's people can fly (close enough)
Cliffy B just puts his face on shit because he thinks it will make it sell.

why? you havent even played the campaign yet!
Oh crap, a demo?
Dead Space 2 had me preoccupied, I gotta try that out! :D
11,490 points. :dance:
ps3 demo is inferior to xbox demo. In terms of graphics at least. And framerate drops. And less color.
