" 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. "
Fo hawk?!
 
Anything is better than a fo hawk.

Aside from the really retarded gun-wobble, I'm liking the look of this game more and more.

The SMART button could be awesome or super sucktastic, depending on how sensitive it is to your actions. I could see a lot of frustration at the 'smart' system if it constantly misinterprets what you intended to do ('SLIDE INTO THE WALL? OK!').
Plus what the hell was up with the gun motion. Not a deal breaker but... Well ok probably a deal breaker.

Oh, k00l! I love how that loading screen fades so smoothly in to the game with the same picture and stuff! Also, Mirror Edge feel. =) yeah!

Looks kind of amazing, just the shadows on the people look dreadful. Really nice art style they've got.

Game looks promising.  Love the graphics and art style, the gameplay ideas sound great, but it will all hing on how the shooting and movement feels.

I think it would look awesome playing a clan match on here. Just seeing like a team run forward, vaulting, leaping and sliding over and under obstacles and shooting while they're at it. Would definitely feel epic if they get the atmosphere right. I can just imagine a Killzone/Mirrors Edge vibe with some epic music in the background as your sprinting. 
 
But textures in some places look a bit off. I'm looking mainly at the guns on other characters. But it's definitely coming along. There are obviously some doubts though. When he was sprinting, it felt like he was really nimble and very athletic, but as soon as he started walking/normal running it felt like he was lumbered with a lot of weight. Either they tune down the sprinting, which would make it a lot less exciting, or they speed up the normal walking and running speed. 
 
Also, gun wobble is horendous. That would get so annoying. I can actually see that as something which will put me off a lot.

looks promising, reminded me a bit of borderlands with the cartoony characters, hope they fix the gun animations though.

Don't know why, but this game just screams Shadowrun to me.

This game looks like it could be one of the games of the year if it delivers on making these systems work on top of a call of duty like shooter.

Is it just me or was the exaggerated gun bob, even when moving slowly, really annoying?

@EOT: Yeah I like the weapon bob it is realistic.Unlike in almost every FPS there is barely any.Even though in real life people don't run around with a rifle up in their face.Though the game isn't really striving for realism, the part about when you moving slowly though I think is annoying too.As well as the footstep sounds being out of sync when you move slow.Hopefully though with the extra year of development they got they will fix it.

@Zao: That's odd. Because they're based in London.
