Am I the only one who can't get excited about FPS releases anymore? I dunno, I've just been burned so many times, and FPS has been in a steady, steep decline since 2007 or so. I'm just waiting for the shit metacritic score and the forum bitching about network problems, performance issues, and gameplay imbalance that developers could have fixed if they gave a shit. And that is in addition to the now-standard "unlock" schemes that force you to invest tons of time to experience all of the game, and the community-splitting DLC that nobody wants shoved down their throat.

I'll love it if this game is good. Same goes for BF3, Rage, CoD #500, etc. Not getting my hopes up for anything but Skyrim, though.

this game doesnt seem all that great. the only real different thing it had going was the "SMART" system, but a lot of that stuff has already been done by crysis 2 now (sliding, auto-climbing stuff by jumping near it). the actual gunplay doesnt seem that impressive, but I'll wait for a demo to really judge it. my hopes arent up for it at all, but i wont judge it until it comes out.

Hmm it looks amazing, but that smart button looks slightly dubious lol

I'm not sure how "hardcore" the game is supposed to be, but if the acrobatics are supposed to require lots of skill, does the smart button take away from the game? Doesn't seem like a deal-breaker at all, but does seem sort of funky.

"Smart" button reminds me of FEAR. But I wish such a system could be implemented universally rather than having context-sensitive actions; i.e. you can slide any time by looking down while holding SMART, rather than having to be near something you can slide under. This reminds me too much of so many other good-looking games that have burned me: APB, Huxley, Hellgate: London... great ideas but hastily executed and lacking direction.

I really wish companies would stop using unlockables and use a system like Planetside used to use with certifications...

Tbh I feel like modern fps who want to stray away from glitchy animations and towers of people stacking onto eachother need a smart key. I preordered brink this winter and I kept forgetting about it since it looked like it was about to come out and then it was delayed over and over-.-

I wish games would implement more weaponry than bullet based weapons. I'm not trying to talk down about Brink. It looks pretty cool. I just miss my soldier from TF2.

Been looking forward to this game for awhile now, It has been delayed a lot but with the intricacy of the SMART system and all the other aspects I'm not surprised that there is a lot of ground to cover and a lot of bugs to iron out, they want to release this game and uphold the expectations they have set for themselves and their customers so it isn't really such a bad thing.

Have it pre-ordered on steam, can't wait :D

Sorry, as someone who's played Quake/HLDM/TFC/Warsow for a couple of years I find that statement really funny.

People have been saying this was overhyped. Guess I just haven't been looking but I have never heard of it til now. Looks awesome and I need a new FPS to sink my teeth into. I went with Medal of Honor and that just failed horribly.

I'll most likely pre-order this next month. Been looking for a new FPS for ages now and CoD just isn't my thing, but this looks rather promising.

It's supposed to be based a bit on an old FPS from splash damage, enemy territory, richard ham some important guy on brink even went to the community site (www.crossfire.nu) to ask questions on what they would like to see etc.

Is the developer the same Splash Damage who made Wolf ET? That game consumed a lot of my teenage life, and if its half as good, I'll definitely be looking to pick up Brink. Oh, and I loved Mirror's Edge a lot so I hope the platforming is similar in Brink.

Game looks great, not only in terms of graphics, but of course gameplay. I won't preorder it though, it looks like they prioritize consoles a lot, so it can be a poor console port, like bad company 2 was in the beginning.

You can do ANYTHING you can do with the SMART system using crouch, sprint and jump as well. Also, SMART is slightly slower than doing the moves manually.
