The sad thing is this game could be super awesome and still bomb.

I really do like the art style.  Along with Borderlands, that's the 2nd time a shooter has gone the "realistic ... nah, stylized" route in recent memory and they both look great.  And since some studios like Crytek still make ultra-realistic games too, so we can still get our "realistic gfx" fix :)

It's really only Richard Ham that's the problem. The other guys are alright.

I feel like they're focusing way too much on the graphics side of things. I still don't really know what this game is going to be like to play. The guns seem pretty cool, but it seems like it's just another mp fps with the same old boring game modes.

@Unemployable: the problem is the generic out of proportion hype: "the environment, it is absolutely kick ass, [and then some more generic hype (it is perfect, he was right, etc. then comparisons with environments that they like, maybe to have a walk over there, dunno)]"  Reaction: uh, oh, so it is kickass because you say so, yeah, probably you have nothing to say about it because it is so crappy that you just decided to put some generic hype words. Vibrant colors? Great, I'm going to play Tron.
 
Just describe it, "we chose new york because it gives a lot of options to develop a different jungle, destructible environments, huge spaces and small corridors and different heights from which to shoot or be shooted" Great! I'm excited!, I wanna be in that jungle because shooting things among tall destructible buildings sounds very fun!

I think your missing the point of the comment.  I'm glad their excited but there's a lot of danger in over hyping your game.  And declaring that your game is going to destroy all genre boundaries, usher in a new era of online multiplayer and possibly cure arthritis in those who play is perhaps setting the bar a little high.  I hope Brink comes out and is awesome.  I love the art style and I'm happy to finally get a shooter that utilizes more of the color palette than just brown.  Still, lets calm down a little with the decelerations of glory huh?

My most anticipated shooter and possibly game for the next year right here.  I've only heard amazing things about the way it plays from friends at QuakeCon and I'm glad they have the time to polish a little more.

It was all down to that little annoying round man that all the characters now look ridiculous? Man now i'm even MORE pissed off. And whats all that "Olivier was right" bullshit on the piece of paper. Wouldnt it be better to do that when the game is actually released to see if people really like those stupid looking horse men chararcters? Oh and Richard Ham? FUCK you too. You and your beardy cheeks..

Don't get me wrong, I'm liking what I see, but it sounds like their marketing department is trying to put a positive spin on "we tried to cross the uncanny valley and failed."

You know, I really hate it when developers provide pointless commentary for their games. Just make the game cool, and people will be interested.

@HeroicDrinkingSong: No, I didn't miss the point.  I guess I just don't take all the hype too seriously.  By now we're pretty used to publishers/developers over-hyping their products leading up to release.  I personally think the game is looking good and whether or not it will be as (R)evolutionary as they're saying will be seen upon the games release.  I have my doubts, but it looks like fun regardless.  My point is excited/engaged developers make better games.

It looks like something I would like to play. And that's what i'm basing this on, since hearing these guys talk is killing me slowly.
