Brink Hype?

[amak1]

Ive seen previews and videos for this game... anyone want to explain all the hype to me? The gun on gun in cod and bfbc2 looks better than this and the parkour in crysis 2 looks better. Am i missing something? Graphics dont look good at all either from what ive seen. Im really curious so someone elaborate please. Thnx guys n gals.

Parkour in crysis 2? You mean being able to jump high and thats about it.

I think people are hyped about brink because they are hoping it will be fun to play considering the big disappointment people have expierence with black ops.

I'm excited because Brink is created by Splash Damage, the makers of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (one of my favorite online shooters). I don't play it anymore but man that game was awesome.

Brink looks like a breath fresh air. I'm willing to try out any game attempting to be innovative in the FPS genre filled with Call of Duty's.

I havent seen that much hype about this to be honest. If you compare it to the hype for a small map pack for a horribly laggy game then this isnt that much on the radar.

What a lot of these games will come down to now is how they handle under the Xim3.

I'm excited for this.. mostly because I spent probably the better part of like 6+ years playing and competing in either RTCW or Wolf:ET, so I have very high hopes this game will recapture some of the magic of those games.

I also played Wolf ET competitively. I played CAL and TWL for years, enjoyed the hell out of it (Don't know if you remember Busdrivers or Fatal Attraction but I played in both).

it is hard to say, the game looks very different from other shooters, kinda like TF2 different

will most likely be a love it or hate it title

Basically the biggest difference is in player customization.. You will be able to make your character from the ground up.. Do you want to be a run and gun marathon/lightweight smg type? You will be skinny and agile and small.. Want to be a huge bruiser carrying a minigun? You will be a brute but slow and easy to hit... Besides that the game is aiming at a much more arcadey crowd who don't take it so seriously like the cod fanboys..

Wow I remember you guys. Man I sure had some fun. Played in countless clans and worked my way up from a beta player to playing alpha team matches on ETTV.

Feels good, man.

Was a great game, not quite what RTCW was to me, but still had a lot of good times. There are more then a few final matches that still haunt me!

Nothing topped epic medic pushes! Heres hoping Brink gets the blood pumping in that same way!

I agree, always awesome. Maybe we can get 3 headshot kills

P2p or dedi? Good replies, def good info to know... might actually give it a go now.

hopefully there will be a demo to try out, to at least see how good the controls are.

So far they are saying there will be no demo, but who knows, they could change there mind. Doubt it though. Only 5 days to go for US launch, 8 for EU/UK .
Mine is already preorded with 2 of the packs with it . SOOO hope it's good.

About the hype, it won't be every1s cup of tea, but it sure as hell looks very interesting to me, I don't know where u are getting, "Graphics dont look good at all either from what ive seen" The graphics look amazing! It don't need to be ultra realistic for it to be considered good graphics, I absolutely love the art style of this game, everything being over exaggerated and the colours. Also the fact u pick classes like in TF2 is a nice change from recent FPSs and The amount of customization is huge, which will make so many different character formulas possible to choose from and not only the way your character looks (which has a huge range of choice aswell) but what active skills, passive skills, and body type (which determines your runspeed and health) you want to pick.

If u are loving everything about the COD/BF games, then by all means wait for the next COD ect to come out, but if u want to finally play something original and different for once, you can't not be excited about BRINK.
