New BRINK Video

Has any other FPS done this? Controller configuration will be entirely customizable! (Ronin, I thought of you.) The *only* thing they could do to make this game better on console is to have dedicated servers. But given how "matchmaking" works, I can understand why they went the route they did.

I'm psyched...

Can't wait for Brink... I've watched all their recent interviews and read a # of the most recent previews (after 3 there was nothing new not covered yet.... they all played the same demo lol)

Yes, I've got it pre-ordered.

It is shaping up to be a very fun game! I hope it doesn't slip under the radar with so many good/big games being released this year. With a little luck it will have Borderlands-esque success!

Thankfully, it's release date is well-timed to provide distraction prior to BF3.

I'm just gonna gamefly it... just in case

This is coming out when I leave for my summer job...so wont play it till I get back

^^^^
Ouch! The game will still be waiting when you return. Thankfully my summer work schedule should allow me a little flexibility to play.

Yea, nothing worse than having a stupid fkin job, I can agree with that.

Mine cuts out on so much of my video-gaming time its ridiculous.

BTW This is the only FPS coming out this year that I am really psyched for. I cant wait to play it

screw BF3 and MW3. I doubt Ill be able to get into them at all if Brink turns out to be as much fun as I think it will be.

yah, I can't give up the open battlefield experience... it really is unrivaled.

Brink is corridor combat... small IO combat akin to most other shooters out there... however with the SMART system, proper class roles, and character progression, it looks to be a bit more interesting.

DA2 is next week, I think that will hold me over till Brink comes out in May

Two "new" interviews.

This game continues to look better and better!

ZERO OHK weapons

(only OHK is rifle headshot against unbuffed light character)

yah, explosives have more of a knockdown, then kill, effect

"sniper" rifles (It's just a non assault rifle class... that you can equip with scope) are accurate and powerful, but as mentions can only OHK w/ a headshot on an unbuffed light bodyweight (there is an equipable ability, and a medic buff that increase health) which should be quite difficult given the speed and mobility of lights.... unless they too are sittin & snipin or something (ie; if you plan on sittin and snipin as light... take the health boost lol)

well, how well they say it's balanced lol

I played the Quake:ET demo on 360 when I first heard about Brink.... pretty old game, but interesting.

Same kind of objective attack/defend gameplay with class specific objectives on the way.

Body weight and class and ability customization should make for a lot of interesting options.

Regarding balance, I certainly think that OHK only for Light with headshot is a good trade-off for the Light's maneuverability.

Heavy's/Medium's guns do more damage. The secondary weapon for a Light must be a pistol. Pistol carrying players do greater melee damage with a knife in the off-hand, rather than trying to beat someone with a rifle butt.

I, too, think there seem to be a lot more interesting combinations than with other FPS games.

Perks: Engineers and Operatives seem to cooperate well. Assault and Medics seem to cooperate well. I think my first character will be a Heavy Assault/Medic character, and my second will be a Medium Engineer/Operative. I think we are allowed something like 12-16 different characters, but I don't want that many.
