I wish there was a demo, I'm curious if the shooting feels good or not.

I just preordered it because of this video (and the fact that it's 47.99 on PC).

It seems like Brink is going to be like  the sleeper hit Borderlands that nobody expected.

The customization looks nice and the dynamic missions look to add something interesting. But for a game that shouts about how ground breaking it is I'm unfortunately not impressed so far. 
 
I'm not usually a graphics whore but from the videos it looks a old. I don't know, I guess I'm just hoping that more games would really push graphics these days, it's getting a little stale out there. 
 
The classes also seem to be what we've seen a hundred times before, is it too hard to mix things up a little?

I know the marketing guys want to build up hype and recognition before a game is released but I think that peak was reached several months ago and now this marketing stuff just feels labored. Stop throwing the same fucking PR videos in my face and just release the damn game already.

How about preview coverage? Getting builds in the hands of the GB crew so that they can do something with it? It seems almost too obvious that the only reason why it's coming out in May is because of fiscal year bullshit, so I'm sure getting a build out there to some press would be a good thing...right?

There are too many awesome games coming this year for me to think about buying something that looks kinda bleh.  I'm still holding out hope, but at this point I'll really need a demo before I consider getting it.

There seemed to be alot of British accents in this, and when I say British I dont just mean English Im pretty sure I heard some Scottish ones in there too. Is that supposed  to have any relavence to the story or was it just a choice by the designers, anyone know?

The "operative" class makes me a little nervous. I've never liked that class in other games, Killzone 3 has it, and I found it kinda lame. All it did was make teammates constantly shoot at each other to make sure they were *really* teammates. Hopefully it's balanced well in this game.

Yeah, a bit like TF2, a bit like Killzone 2/3, but since those were great games, I'm hoping this one will be too. I'm definitely interested, that's for sure.

Splash Damage is a British developer, so it stands to reason they'd use British voice actors.

@SpacePenguin: You can put different accents on your character, it is not a design choice from the developers.

@Nadafinga: Well one thing I heard was that they are the weakest class when they start, but the further you invest and level up it pays off later on.

They've said they want to make a demo, but it won't be available until after launch. Really unfortunately for this game specifically. I've already pre-ordered because of their history; the game does look great. Hoping for the best as this is one of my most anticipated titles for 2011.

Looks delish. Very much an on-the-fence game for me, just like Blur of last year. Will come entirely down to reviews/community thoughts.

It's a really good looking game, I wonder what engine it's running on. I hope this game can please a single player enthusiast like me.

So, you just took the video that has been on the brink Website for 2 weeks? 
Nonetheless, I love this video and I love this game.  The wait for this game is killing me.  I will NOT hinge this game on reviews and community thoughts.  Already have mine pre-ordered.

I like how now every class based game is called a TF2 clone.  It just shows how awesome that game is.
