    I have to say I am extremely excited about Brink.  It shows all the good qualities of a great First Person Shooter and the guns sound incredible.  The art is absolutely beautiful and the game looks like it's going to KILL on the PC.  The only thing that worries me, is the fact that I may be part of a select few who have high hopes for this game, only to find out when the game is released that it is extremely janky and has multiple issues with gameplay.  Am I crazy?!  Or does this truly look like something worth getting hyped about?  Looking forward to your input :-)

    I'm curious more than excited. The fact that it has links to Bethesda is a big plus as far as I'm concerned, and Splash Damage have made some interesting games in the past, so there is definitely some promise. At the moment though there is just to little information out there to really put any major hope in it. When something new is released that really goes into detail about what the game will be like, I will start paying more attention.
     
    Like I said though, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    I fear I have placed too much trust into BRINK. 
    I am crazy excited for this game, as I'm hoping it will be the next game that gets me back into FPS's on the PC. I haven't really enjoyed another FPS on the PC since Counter-Strike/Counter-Strike: Source days, but I quit playing that. And I've clearly demonstrated to myself that games like Modern Warfare 2 are not for me.
     
    The mix of parkour and gunplay sound very appealing, along with its unique and gorgeous art style. 
     
    So yes, I'm excited for it.

    I'm not, the most recent footage looked extremely boring to me.
     
    But we'll see when it gets closer to release.

    You know, I was really excited but as time passed I've thought less and less about it.
    I dunno, it just seems to have faded into the background for me in the last 6 months or so.

    I'm generally more interested to see the way their SMART system works. More importantly how limited it is.

    I'm more intrigued than excited.  The new "parkour" movement in the game.  Vaulting and sliding with ease, if it works, could had a lot of options to play plus look visually cool.  But, I've only seen videos so I reserve judgement until I am able to try a demo.  Of course, if there is no demo then I'll have to rely on the honesty of a GB Quick Look.  I can't get excited because fundamentally it is still an FPS and there are a ton of them coming out between now and early 2011.  The movement system is what makes this different.  If that doesn't live up to expectations then it might as well be Bulletstorm or any other shooter.

    I'm very excited.  Lots of customization, and they have said many times how much you'll be able to do with SMART, down to "if you couldn't interact with an object in the environment, it was taken out."

    I'm cautiously excited after hearing Garnett Lee talk about the single player. Plus, they keep saying the multiplayer is the single player, which just would make it co-op (like Borderlands), which I would be fine with, except when I first saw that game I thought it was like TF2 with some parkour--so anything else other than that is just sort of disappointing.

    I'm curious/excited about the game.  I hope the SMART system, 'genre' ender etc. aren't just marketing tools and there's actually some substance to them.  By substance, I mean that they actually do add to the gaming experience.  They are right about one thing for sure though.....when you see a screenshot of Brink, you KNOW it's Brink.  It has a very unique and beautiful style about it. 
     
    However, I really hope this doesn't end up as an 'all hype-all gripe' kind of game.

    I  am excited for this one. COD 4 took the FPS and elevated it to the next level.  I kept up with WAW, MW2, and BO, and while I still enjoy those games, I feel they are becoming stale.  With more fluid movement and integrating multiplayer into a campaign, Brink could  raise the fps bar again.  Or it could be a total bust, hard to tell until you get it in your hands.   Overall I want to be optimistic and be excited.

    You know that feeling you get when something is so fucking cute you want to reach your hand down its throat and fingerfuck its innards until it's gushing blood everywhere while you cackle maniacally at all the cuteness you are pulling out of it? 
     
    THAT is how excited I am about Brink.

    I was as excited as I've ever been for a game after seeing the first trailer years ago... but that was when I thought Bethesda was making a dystopian RPG.  The actual game looks decent and I'll probably end up checking it out, but I'm not nearly as hyped as I was.
