I like its visual style, and that smart system does look cool, not sure if a movement mechanic is enough to sway me though.

Is it just me or the characters seemed weird? Like stretched faces or something.

He is moving like a snail yet the gun and the view rock about like he's flying. This really pisses me of. This and bumping up the FOV instead of actually increasing speed when a player uses the "Sprint" key.

Cool concept. IMO, the SMART system sets itself up for some amazing bullet time sequences if done correctly, but this is fine too. The movement didn't look like it 'flowed' too well, so I hope they get that polished soon.

I really like the art style in this game, and the technical graphics are there to back it up.
 
I'd even go so far as to say it's the best looking multiplatform game I've ever seen.

This looks good and all, but those gun/arm-animations are just shit. That gun wobbles around the place way too much and is completely incoherent with the players current movement.

The art style seems really generic and the SMART system probably won't be nearly as "smart" as they say it will be.
 
But that's the cynic in me.

I'm ultra excited for this, though I don't have specific reasons as to why. I guess the entire package just fits together well.

I was hoping for an interesting and somewhat of a core game, but instead it looks like it's going to hold your fuckin hand with that automated shit.

I'd seen this a while ago, and I was just as impressed by how the game's looking then as I am now.  I'm hoping it turns out well.

I think I might really like Brink. Count me in for liking the art style, too. Definitely looking forward to a real look at this from someone outside the company.

The character designs are horrible. 
 
Now if the SMART system works the way they claim then that would be really cool but I'm guessing there will be some major bugs with it.

The SMART concept sure has taken long enough to come about. I've been getting stuck on polygons since Wolfenstein 3D. The game should know I want to go around the corner or through the doorway, not get hitched on a jagged edge.

I'm getting more and more annoyed with the flagrant jabs at other games during some games' trailers.

Why is every character at the end stuck with a buzz cut? Would it kill my character to have a nice fo hawk or a front flip ? I'm so tired of making game characters in Bethesda supported games and everyone just looks like they were rolled together with feces. That's WHY you have to play in first person, because if you ever spotted yourself in third person you'd vomit.
 
As for the rest of Brink...I'll need to see more. Right now it'll be a rock solid rental like Borderlands was.

Wow, this SMART system seems really...well, smart. Depending on how well this game goes over, I could definitely see this type of feature becoming standard in games. I really like it.

Really loving the realistic movements and animations. Sort of like Killzone 2 with the agility of mirrors edge.

Generic in shooters is more like brown and grey in every bloody shooters that you see out there. Brink is a little different in the regards of colour scheme.

I really want to like this game, but the gameplay looks... bland. The art-style, and fiction is amazing, but when it comes to gameplay, it doesn't look like it will be enjoyable.
 
Of course, I should reserve my judgment until a demo comes out (hopefully).
