I like the artstyle, but the faces are terrible. 
 
I suppose we'd all be pissed off and fighting each other in organized combat, too, if we all looked like horse-men abominations.

So I can be a horse faced guy with some muscles or a horse faced guy with a lot of muscles? And I can pick between being covered in a shitload of tattoos or not covered in a shitload of tattoos? This told me absolutely nothing about the character creator, other than I am going to hate the way I fucking look.

The visual style is great overall, but the disproportional caricatures  bother me.
 
As for customization, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot, but certainly more than in other shooters. When he switched sides though, the differentiating factor between the two is shades? I'm sure I'm missing something here.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it was VERY obvious that what he showed in that video was not a full release. Apart from being far off from the release, the way he handled it seemed very obvious and perfected - he knew the order things were going to come up, everything was layed out for him. He didn't even access some options on there. 
 
I reckon there's a whole lot more. 
 
Also, when he switched between the two, not a whole lot was changing but there's a reason. They aren't "races", so they both look the same, but also, these are like the default templates. You can change it all once you're in there. All the options between the two differ, but because it was a very layed out tutorial prepared to just tease us with the variety of options on screen, we didn't get to see the others. He probably showed max 2 options for about 3 different 'sliders'. I expect quite a bit more as they are heavily devoted to the art style it seems.

Awesome...! :)
My girlfriend is upset, though, since she read that apparently you can't create female characters...? :O
If that really is true, then it's a HUGE negative point for the game... :(

Character customization is the new black. 
 
Brink's release is still so far off but I've got this one on my radar.  Mirror's Edge meets Waterworld meets something else... you insert your own game/influence.

Not bad at all, I'd say. It's not quite on par with APB's customization options, but Brink's definitely holding my interest.

I approve of customization; even if I don't get to look at my character all the time.

I'd like to take this oppertunity to apologise on behalf of the United Kingdom. No one here says "badarse". No one here has EVER said "badarse". The term "bad arse" doesn't even exist. Infact i'm pretty sure he is the only person on the planet to say "bad arse". I'm Scottish so i shouldn't really be speaking for the English, but still. C'MON!! Bad arse?! I'll tell you something - i'm gonna kick that young man's bottom.

No.  Twice as many characters to animate then.
