the game looks great: Customization of characters/guns with Single/multiplayer/online coop (maybe splitscreen?) with it's originality in design and parkour added. but the only thing i feel lacked was the amount of players in each match... i mean 16 is a little "little" maybe it's just me because i'm used to play MAG with the 64, 128 and 256 quantity, but still it's a little disappointing seeing what other shooters have nowadays...

maybe i'm wrong and the gameplay will be spectacular.

Bad move, Bethesda, no one's gonna buy Brink for the single player, and by the time the PSN is back up Brink will likely have dropped in price
I know Sony doesn't know a server from an anthill but do you honestly think the price will have dropped by the time PSN is back? That's insane, it takes months for it to drop, this was the only possible move they could have done, otherwise they'd delay it and Playstation fans would be really pissed off, and by the time it came out it'd be old news.

Sure, this game has a single player, but the single player in it is just bots inside of a multiplayer map instead of other players (think L4D single player). There's no real story, no real characters, nothing to engage you outside of multiplayer. It's going to be pretty pointless to buy this for PS3 until PSN is back up.

Also, I feel dumber for having watched that trailer. The game might be great, but that schlock is terrible. It's like every trite action gamer trailer I've ever seen, only stupider somehow.

Considering PSN is meant to be back up at the latest by 31st May I really doubt a AAA game will drop in price in 21 days hell cod4 was still 40 quid in some shops 2 even 3 years after it launched.

I apologise, I was multi-tasking at the time and glazed over the international fans for a second.

Fair enough. I do think it would be convenient if our location were displayed to the left of our posts. Quite tedious to have to click on vie profile page (and navigating away from the post you were writing) just in order to determine someone's location. Especially given the international nature of the internet. (Mmm, I think I'm going to change my title to reflect my location.)

But why wouldn't they release it now? What good does it do to wait purely for the basis of waiting, since people can still play single player. Is it to be fair? Sony said they would have it up by now, soo...

I wouldn't exactly call Brink a AAA game though. I wouldn't even call it AA. It's a solid A, which means it could drop just a little. But that's just my opinion, these things aren't exactly easy to measure.

I really don't get the hype surrounding this game. I mean it looks okay, but nothing overly unique or amazing. Seems very similar to TF2 actually.
but with mirrors edge style free running...

also looks more like mirrors edge too, not TF2.

Funny fact South America is getting it earlier than EU, why? you ask? well the EU release is set to 0 Hours at Greenwhich time which means that South America (Me in Brazil -3) is getting Brink released on Steam at 9PM on Thursday \o/

Good luck fighting against lobotomized AI.

Good thing that I've already pre-loaded the game on Steam, I'm counting the hours until midnight to start playing.

It's nothing at all like Mirror's Edge except for having parkour in it, all you do is press sprint and run at things to perform parkour, in Mirror's Edge the only object is parkour, and you have to time jumps.

Play the Scout in TF2 and you're basically playing this game.
