Agreed, why even put your new IP in that position "
I think you're way overestimating Killzone's popularity here. 
 
Also Bulletstorm is SP only, and the promise if Gears 3 beta will enhance sales by a lot. Also you're forgetting the PC crowd.

Gears 2 sold more then both Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect 2. Maybe those games will be rated higher critically but Gears 3 will outsell both of them.

That was funny.  The idea of seeing a famed game developer lying down on the ground and sucking his thumb, after possibly being beaten by a boss is priceless.  Also that brief scene where you saw the lead hero shooting a man in the butt shows that this game has a really crazy sense of humor.

I own a PS3, but I wouldn't dare purchase Killzone 3...kinda looks boring. Like the other ones! This looks just ridiculous enough to be a good change of pace.

I don't even care if the game is good anymore. I refuse to support this marketing campaign. I won't buy it.

He's not really making the game, though, right? He's just getting his Molyneux on.

Usually I find these Bulletstorm ads dumb. I just think that they come off as trying really hard to be funny. However that was pretty good. "Here's to you pop pop."

Something about the execution of this video bothered me much, much less than the first one they released. Actually laughed this time, but I still think the game's humor is a little too much for me.

I don't buy games until their prices are reduced significantly, but if had to pick between Killzone 3 and BulletStorm, I think I'd go with BulletStorm, unless the reviews are less than stellar.

Fuck Young Cliff for trying to have fun and have a sense of humor in his games and advertisemnets. Doesn't he know video games are serious business.  All these gamers who bash him, or bash really anyone who takes a light-hearted approach to video games, are morons who have a sense of entitlement to this hobby that I don't see anywhere else.  We play games to have fun, Cliff makes games and commercials to have fun. Why are people upset about his approach, even going so far as to blame him for not focusing on the PC, when it's just good business to focus on consoles?  I love every development personality out there, from the Doctors, to Dyack, Cliff, Ed Boon, thay all give life and character to what we love, or love to hate.

Don't forget they've been hyping and PRing it up like mad since early last year. Remember that disgusting package of meat GB got in the mailbox? Bits of cloth, shells etc in it and some PR material. I don't have high hopes for the game based on the PR.
