Nothing i have really seen of brink has looked bad, but the tralers don't show much gameplay and when i hear people from the press talk about it it normally seems subdued like they're holding something back like "It looks cool but the shooting is garbage" or something game breaking along those lines. Am i just reading to much into what press is saying or has anyone else noticed?

Haven't noticed.

There's a bunch of behind the scenes stuff and very detailed descriptions about how the game will play by taking you step by step through its mechanics in plenty of youtube vids. Its not difficult to find some lengthy vids of gameplay.

Waiting for quick look and review/ opinions on the bombcast.

" @DystopiaX: Yeah im probably crazy i think im just remembering a few bombcasts ago when jeff was kinda holding something back about it. Maybe its just embargo. "

What worries me about what they've shown so far is the game's lack of personality. The shooting looks solid enough and some of  the SMART and on-line stuff seems interesting but everything about the gameworld and the characters just comes off as kind of flat.

This looks like a good game but i wonder on the pc version after about 3 months if anyone will be playing it?

i hope the single player component will wow us like MK9's.

My main concerns so far are they haven't really commented on the amount of maps, and the lack of press hands-on feedback. I'll probably buy it regardless, it's nice to see atleast some innovation in shooters these days.

I played it at PAX Prime last year in September and really liked it. The guns felt really good, It's hard to get across but the simple act of shooting was fun. I got lucky and actually was on a team dudes who talked to each other and it was really satisfying to work as a team. One guy could be working on the main objective while I run off and secure another ammo dump. I like multilayer games where you feel important to your team e.g. Brink has different objectives and only certain classes being able to complete some of them so each class has a role to play.

This game has the potential to be amazing...or a POC. I'm just worried that since we haven't heard anything, something is going to be broken. Last thing I want to hear is "meh, its another shooter" or "that is one FP assed FPS"

Don't worry about the press, they just don't seem to care for any new IP shooter. I don't think they're 'holding back' anything, they've probably not seen enough to make a firm decision whether it's good or bad. I'm really looking forward to it, hope it's great.

Most likely be a series of bot matches with some kind of overarching narrative. "

That would kind of suck seeing how they're trying to establish some kind of universe but you're probably right :/ "

I am having the same worries. It is out in a week or so if I am not mistaken and I haven't heard anything really new about it. I feel this game is going to be quite the let down.

I recently watched this vid and it sold it for me

They also showed in-game narrative and cutscenes so really wondering what the singleplayer is gonna be like. Playing it with people online sounds cool.
But hoping they will have a different setup for multiplayer without any story elements or narrative. Because I dont want the multiplayer maps to feel like im playing a singleplayer mission for the tenth time. Also filling in servers with bots to keep the experience will ruin the game for me.
The looks sound and gameplay look/sound top notch hoping the entire TF2 pc community will make a mass switch to this and we will be rolling for 2 or 3 more years. Also hoping Valve will alow them to steal there community and support the hell out of this with steam.

I was hoping for a really great solo experience with a grand story and game play.  Playing pretty much a MP game with bots for a 'solo' side has me sad.

It should be pretty good if free mode and challenge mode can be played offline.

regarding the single player, i hope its nothing like this

My problem is nothing stands out. It's missing that "thing" for me that makes me want to buy it. The whole SMART thing is interesting, but unless the entire level is designed so I can make use of it all the time then what's the point? I don't know, just everything about it screams "look at how cool I'm trying to be. oooooooooooooooooooooooooow."

all the people look like that eagle muppet

They aren't going to like it.

I really wish they put out a demo. "

I lost all of my hype for it unfortunately, it was delayed right? Because there was a while when i was super excited for it, but I think it was delayed and it lost me, and they have done a poor job hyping since then.

I do not think we have to worry. The shooting from what Ive seen in videos looks fine. 

Thanks for sharing the video mephixto, that looks fantastic. 

What are the points that come up when you're shooting?  Is that HP?  I'd love it if that was XP, but I imagine not...

I'm still waiting to play it before my verdict.

Nope. I haven't seen that game in about a year. It looked OK. Looking forward to seeing how the final product turned out, seems like that game could be kind of neat, if all the online stuff they've been talking about for years works. "

A bit of a random aside, but do you think you might draw some comparisons regarding Bulletstorm and their traversal methods according to what Brink does? It seems like the traversal stuff for Brink looks awesome, and if it all works out and feels good, that's a deal-sealer for me. "

Let's fucking do this.
