GOTY 2011? GOTY 2011.

What is it?

Bulletstorm is an upcoming FPS from Epic (FROM EPIC! THE GUYS BEHIND GEARS OF WAR AND UNREAL TOURNAMENT!) that is all about killing enemies as creative as possible. You have ridiculously huge weapons and have to hit ridiculously huge enemies with them. You get points for killing enemies the creative way; kick them into a spiky plant, shoot them in the head, then kick them in a spiky plant or just shoot them right away. This game is about style. Gory style. And you get into the Gears of War 3 Beta earlier than everyone else if you buy it!

And now, for some lame descriptions from Wikipedia:
Quote
Bulletstorm takes place in a futuristic setting where a confederation is being protected by an elite band of mercenaries known as Dead Echo. When Dead Echo member Grayson Hunt, voiced by Steve Blum, 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 has since become a drunken space pirate. After getting involved in an interstellar crash landing, he is reunited with 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. Hunt and Sato decide to work together once again to get off the planet alive and take revenge on the man who sent them there.

Players utilize a sizable arsenal consisting of over-the-top combat moves and incredibly large weapons. Bulletstorm also has a variety of "skillshots" which create extreme levels of frantic gameplay. The skillshot gameplay system rewards the player for creating and inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more unusual the skillshot, the more points players receive to upgrade their character, unlock weapons which allow the player to perform even more creative moves and exaggerated skillshots.

Madworld was a piece of shit that was as much fun as falling into a pit full of spikes.
This game has more graphics, more gameplay and most importantly more ways to kill.
And bulky space men with big feet.

Bulletstorm is an upcoming FPS from Epic that is all about killing enemies as creative as possible.

Which is exactly the same as MadWorld.

No shit, of course it will have 'better graphics'. MadWorld came out on the Wii in 2008. It's almost 2011, and it's being made for the 360.

It obviously is going to be a rip of MadWorld, with more things added. I don't doubt Epic at all, it's just I feel they should be a bit more open to where they get their 'creativity' from. It might not necessarily be from this one, but they look identical.

You are an absolute moron if you think that just because two games share their core concept, one is going to be a rip of the first one.
Dawn of War 2 and StarCraft II use the exact same core concept, yet none is a rip of the other one.
Garry's Mod and Minecraft use the same base concept, yet none of them is a rip of the other one.
Going with your logit, Minecraft is a rip of Garry's Mod and StarCraft is a rip of the Dawn of War Universe.

No core concept whatsoever is new in any way and has been used in both games and movies. Do you really believe MadWorld was the first game that gives you points for killing enemies as creative as possible? In Super Mario Bros., you get points for continously jumping on koopas too, so according to you, MadWorld is a complete rip of Super Mario Bros.

UT 'classic' was the only game I could play pre-2010 due to my only computer only having 256MB's of ram and a Nvidia TNT 64
