Brink: Thoughts

[Siuki]

After watching the cinematic trailer, I'm pretty sure this game will feel like Mirrors Edge and Modern Warfare 2 combined. And in a good way.

See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-2p4GYF8eg&feature=player_embedded

Any first thoughts on the game?

Meh. That's what I thought when I saw the video. Although, after reading what Wikipedia said about it, its a game I'll keep my eye on.

It definately looks pretty fun, but Bethesda's track record as a third party publisher has been pretty dire so far which leads me to be wary.

One to watch!

It could be good, it looks pretty original but it has a lot that could go wrong.

"Cautions excitement".

In actual gameplay, things look really gritty and dark. Curse you realisssmmmm!!!!

Realism? So lots of brown and bloom?

The trailer didn't look like that. Man I hope it isn't just another boring "realistic" fps.

No, there are a bunch of free-running aspects to it. I just mean that in the actual gameplay footage, the lighting isn't that great. That's not bad though. A rusty old broken down town isn't supposed to have industrial lighting. (Well, maybe, but you get the point. Don't you?) If I had to say it, the ingame areas look "well shaded."

its published by Bathesda. and most games they publish,MOST, are good. im waiting

 

[sylekage]

Looks like it has some potential, wont get my hopes up though.

Oh yes because Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3 are all low key games. c'mon, give them some more credit than that. lol

I am so excited for this game...i have had my eye on it for months. haven't been this excited since borderlands

plus i LOVED mirror's edge, so the parkour-type stuff with better gunplay sounds like a phenominal idea

I said third-party publisher. As in Wet and Rogue Warrior.

Wet was fun imo. Rouge Warrior was just terrible.

I played the demo for Wet and didn't enjoy it, it felt badly constructed and unfinished. The red and black bits were pretty cool though and the slow mo idea was good.

I'm sharing the cautious excitement feeling. I would like to see this game in both third and first person views; from watching Mirror's Edge, a free-running game doesn't look that fun in first person to me. I'm hoping it'll have a decent single-player mode; like Yahtzee, I'm very skeptical about online gaming.

Looks good.... let's just hope they don't fuck it up like MW 2 did by adding 'perks' and 'killstreaks' and lame unbalanced shit like that. Just let skill rule the day.

They didn't add perks and killstreaks in MW2. That had been in CoD since the first MW.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

It looks like TF2 combined with MW2 combined with Mirror's Edge combined with Borderlands.

So it'll either be completely awesome or completely horrible.

 

[aww yea]

thank god for that

sick of realistic shooters, bring back the fun!

 

[XT inc]

If the game actually manages to capture the bedazzling effect that trailer had on me when I saw it before this thread then I am sold. Otherwise for now til I play it my mind has it locked in as the visual equivilent of peter molyneux talking and what shadow run ended up being.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

It looks like it's ripping from about 5 other shooters.

But it looks like it's ripping all the good parts so I'm not complaining.

 

[Siuki]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

 

[Sky Captanio]

Cool trailer and sounds like a good idea but only time will tell.

And what's with the Eldar buildings on the horizon?
