Game Information

(Source: http://www.punchdrunkgamer.com/component/content/article/70-screenshots/709-brink-information-screenshots-a-trailer)

•Blurring the Lines Between Offline and Online - Advance your character’s development across every gameplay mode: single player, co-op, and multiplayer. Gain experience points that you can spend on customizing and upgrading your skills and abilities, designing an entirely unique look and feel for your character.

•Groundbreaking Kinesthetics - Brink uses the familiar shooter controls that you’re used to, without frustrating, artificial constraints and takes advantage of a new feature: the SMART button. When you press the SMART button, the game dynamically evaluates where you’re trying to get to, and makes it happen. No need to perfectly time a jump or vault, the game knows what you want to do.

•Context-Sensitive Goals and Rewards - Objectives, communications, mission generation, and inventory selection are all dynamically generated based on your role, your status, your location, your squad-mates, and the status of the battle in all gameplay modes. You’ll always know exactly where to go, what to do when you get there, and what your reward will be for success.

•Virtual Texturing - Brink’s proprietary technology, Virtual Texturing, breaks new ground on current-gen consoles and PCs with an even greater focus on highly detailed characters, realistic environments, lighting, effects, and atmospherics,. This competitive lead on the squad-combat genre helps thrust players into the gritty reality of the Ark's epic secluded arcology.


This game looks fucking magnificent. There is NO game at all to compare it to, it is just one of those games. The best way I could describe it is a multiplayer FPS version of Mirrors Edge that has a Team Fortress based class system. Completely customizable characters, and by everything, I mean EVERYTHING is customizable. Even down to the girth of your character, which determines how agile you are in your acrobatic moves -- or if you can even do them at all. Weapons are customizable to the nth degree.

Developed by Splash Damage and Produced by Bethesda. Comes out May 10th, 2011. Yes, THIS YEAR. In a month of when I am posting this. Stay posted on their official website:

How so? IT doesn't even feel or look near Borderlands.

I think it's a tad overhyped but still the only FPS worth buying since TF2. Sadly it got delayed constantly and now has to compete with RAGE, Duke Nukem and BF3 coming out shortly after.

The SMART mechanic looks unbelievable cool, and I love that it will make games have more of a vertical movement aspect, but the one sort of iffy thing is as the guy in the video mentioned, what if it turns out to be just an auto-pilot that takes away from skill, which might be a problem depending on just how well it's actually implemented, but I think it will probably work out well and take skill to use to potential, either way this looks like a sick new game and thanks for showing it.

Edit: just noticed, it comes out the day before my B-day, guess what I'm about to ask for

Why? Because it takes place in a junkyard and you're fighting Jason Vorhan's? That's the only similarity I see.

It is overhyped, I admit. But I did pre-order it out of the hype, the first time I've done that in years. However, BF3 comes out at the end of the year, as do most of the other big names. So it has time to establish itself on the field before the huge names come out.

Oh, it's not going to become auto pilot. The developer explicitly mentioned that it wont turn on some auto pilot. There are a couple demonstrations of gameplay that show it, and it's far from it. It gives as much auto pilot as Mirrors Edge's "Smart" button gave.

I love class-based FPS games.

This will be a delayed buy for me, like all "concept breaking" games that come out.
I just hope its as good as its being made out to be.

Bear in mind the S.M.A.R.T button won't be as smooth as someone manually using the controls, and in fact has a noticeable lag time.
From a design point of view the game is amazing, but i haven't seen that much to impress me about it as a shooter specifically, which is my major issue with it.
Definitely going to take a very close look at it once it comes out, i want to see how everything works first.

A major concern of mine is if it is going to be poorly balanced on release, and if so how the dev team will react.
those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Okay yea right, sorry but Brink is a sequel to the Enemy Territory series that have been around since before Borderland was even thought of. You might as well of said that Doom was a Halo rip off.
I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless.

I was into it until I heard "unlockable" and now I am disinterested and will never touch this game.

It's already official that it's coming out in exactly one month.

My main problem is people complaining how it's been delayed. As far as I can tell, a game being constantly delayed for this long only means they want to refine it and make it the best they can. That bodes well for me. At least better than the CoD franchises mentality of release it even though it's not finished.

The game looks decent, but my god does that cinematic trailer look fricking epic kick-ass? I would like to see these guys make a full length animated movie with that theme!
