I like the concept for this game, I hope it turns out good. Nice Karate chopping interview, Brad!

So many interviews!
 
It's like an explosion of content.

This game sounds like it could be interesting. Let's hope that it turns out good.

Those are the most stylish glasses of that prescription I've ever seen.

There was a no filming sign on the expo hall so I'm assuming the same went for the press.

Wait... so does that mean Brink is also using Megatexturing? Or did he just mention it in reference to ETQW/Tech 4?

 Well it certainly looks pre-alpha form the enemy AI, but it's meant to be enjoyed as a multiplayer game anyway. I think I'm gonna really like the "smooth movement around random terrain" navigation. Kinda wished GTA4 had something like that alongside euphoria.

Wow, I was surprised when i first heard him talk. He did not look like he was british.
DAMGon Sept. 8, 2009 at 9:19 p.m.
Sounds like somebody liked Mirror's Edge mechanics.

I think I'm gonna cry. Calling it right now, 2010 is THE year of gaming. Halo Reach, Mass Effect 2, FFXIII, Bioshock 2, God of War 3, Brink, and a whole lot of stuff I'm missing and more that hasn't been announced. The one thing that WILL suck though? Treyarch's next up for Call of Duty T_T.

I was at one of those crazy demos. This guy certainly brings the enthusiasm, and I got three T-shirts as well. Game looks potentially interesting, though I wasn't in love with the character designs. Kind of Timesplitters-esque but without the humor.

Really? What do british people look like?
MrKloroxon Sept. 9, 2009 at 1:19 a.m.
@Milpool: Psshhhh don't get offended Frenchie, I'd agree with the dude. Actually he kinda looks like a more hip Randy Pitchford from the preview still.
 
edit: I cannot think of his specific name but there's one British voice actor who does a lot of things who looks extremely British. I'll find it and edit this to include it and it will be funny and all will be well.
 
edit2: OH! That's his name! Take one look at Stephen Fry and tell me he doesn't look superfluously British.

Brink was shown in Koln, which was open to the public - so it was shown "before". Beyond that, this guy gave the presentation and answered questions there in Koln. 

Brink itself gave me the impression of Fallout 3+Team Fortress 2 making it a bunch of awesome. SMART was used by enemies too btw, and they did it really well. It's IN - SANE, looks good and it has sentries which make Noxious a happy boy.

That's a big damn lite-brite board. Can't wait for this!
zynon Sept. 9, 2009 at 5:28 a.m.
Looking forward to this game.

Lol who chose to film it behind a giant lite-brite wall? Makes Brad look funny around the edges.
