I think Bulletstorm will be fun. I'll also be getting Brink. I can't say one will be better than the other since they're two different types of games, Bulletstorm being full of immature jokes and lots of ridiculous fun, Brink being a parkour-esque shooter with less of the immature jokes but the same amount of immature jokes.
I think both will be good buys.

im excited about both, but i really hope brink lives up to its hype. suspision of " to good to be true" theory
I was excited for both, until I read that Brink won't have OHK melee, snipers, or shotguns. Even with headshots. All three of these are completely useless now. Melee, because unless it's a complete stealth attack, the other person will just shoot you, or if it's anything like UC2, drop a grenade.
Shotguns are useless now because that's how they work. They're a one hit kill at close, and useless beyond that because you have to fucking pump them. This is game balance 101, The slow, short range gun gets lots of damage. This makes sense for semi-autos, but not pump-action ones.
Snipers were already going to be weak in Brink given the characters speed and mobility, but now they're going to be beyond useless. Even in a wide open game like Bad Company, if your first shot fails to kill them, they'll probably get away. In tight urban environments, say hello to lots of assists.
The only way any of these will be at all useful will be if all the guns take forever to kill people, which makes the combat less satisfying and makes it a no purchase for me.
Bulletstorm still looks cool though.

I'm in for bulletstorm, rewarding me for killing things in interesting ways? crazy guns and a whole variety of weird things to use them on? holding down realistic FPS's heads in a bucket of water and choking the life out of them as sacrifices to bring back the mighty Duke?
Yes

Brink on the other hand gives me a case of the mehs

Jeebus, but reading that opening post was painful. Took a few seconds to translate properly...
OT: Maybe one, maybe both, maybe neither... but if I do, it'll be from a bargain bin long after the release date. I'll give 'em this: they're the most interesting pure FPSes to come out in a very long time...
But that's not sayin' much.

Brink looks amazing. I've been following news about it obsessively. TF2 meets Mirror's Edge, ammirite?
Bulletstorm looks pretty lame to me though. I don't understand the huge hype behind it.

I played the demo of Bulletstorm and I got bored after my first 5 kills (new record of less than a minute for me) because you're going to do the exact same kills for at least 80% of the game, I feel at least. I think Brink at least has good replay value because the multplayer and player investment seem good. I already thought about Bulletstorm getting old quick WAY before they even announced the demo but not that quick after playing just the demo, I know it's a demo but even some demos I like playing over and over before the game comes out.
Neither. Anything related to Bulletstorm leaves me feeling insulted, in much the same manner as watching someone demonstrate a device that makes farting noises when you press a button. It also came across like a buddy game, which I dislike.
And Brink? ...what is Brink? I seemed to have missed everything about that game. Google images gave me a picture of a man with a gun facing a guy in football gear, leading me to believe it's just another shooter or the most 'hardcore' sports title I've seen yet.

Bulletstorm demo is amazing...
Plays great, looks great, feel great and is completely OTT and retarded. I love it!

Brink looks interesting, but after the problems I've had with Bethesda's Fallout games (crashes, exclusive DLC for other consoles, etc.), I wouldn't mind an alternative. This game looks like it will be worth my time.
