    Video parodies the Halo 3 'Believe' Ad from almost 4 years ago. Awesome hilarity ensues when the bullestorm team do something similar to it. I can't wait for this game, shaping up to be awesome and the ad's only make me want it more. :D

    Enjoy! :D

    Well that was miles better than the rest of the marketing they have put out for the game.

    My...how relevant. >_>
     
    In all seriousness the last game that had crazy over-the-top marketing was Dante's Inferno. We all know how that turned out. Think we should take this as a bad sign?

    They're doing great to keep this game on my radar. These little ads are wonderful. 
    Epic is pretty good with marketing, right? The Gears of War trailers are always hands down the best trailers of the year. They really stick with you.

    I still think the "comedy" is too forced. For every new trailer they release I get less and less interested.

    Pretty cool, although Halo 3 was a while ago, if you hadn't pointed out it was a Halo 3 parody it would've passed right by me.

    The puking part was a bit unnecessary I think but its an improvement on their previous marketing thats for sure.

    Am I the only person feeling less 'turned on' (for want of a better term), by Bulletstorm's marketing? I was excited on announcement, but much, much less so now.

    I'd like it a lot better if the bit where he threw up was like a switch to CG. Like if THAT was the bit where the chief looks up.

    Why Halo 3? I don't get it. Why not parody Reach or even ODST? Halo 3 is going on 4 years old for christs sakes. This is kinda stupid :S

    Believe is probably my favourite piece of advertising in any field, full stop so I was ready to hate on this advert coming in. I think it's a very funny concept for a commercial but the potential is wasted, unfortunately. The only funny thing is that all the missiles seem to be aimed at the monsters ass, which is kinda funny I guess?

    If the game delivers, I will be surprised. If Jeff reviews it, I will be pleased.

    Because it's a much more instantly recognizable ad. 
     
    Also, I personally love this whole Bulletstorm advertising campaign.

    That was actually pretty good. Unlike the rest of the advertising that is being released for this game.

    When I think back to how excited I was for the release of bulletstorm it seems like years ago, I could not be less excited for that game now.

    Most people here seem to have liked this advert a lot more than I did. I thought it had potential but then it seemed to throw in the same kind of poor humour that the previous Bulletstorm trailers have had. Guy vomiting, rocket flying at guy's ass. These just feel like lazy and dumb attempts at humour to me.

    I mean when you think about it Bulletstorm is a callback to the Unreal Tournament days of fast paced action and crazy amounts of gore.

    Pretty lame up until the gameplay stuff.  They'd serve the game better, saleswise I mean, if they just focused marketing on the crazy stuff you can actually do in the game.

    I've had no issue with the marketing.  The game is supposed to be low brow humor and decently immature.  I'm down for that.
