Abilities Take Center Stage in New Brink Trailer

[Whydmer]

While I personally love the trailer, my one criticism is that it seems geared to those of us who are living, breathing, eating Brink information. We know what we are looking at. We understand what is going on with the skill system.

People who have only been casually watching this game at best (you know potential customers) may be confused. Does the video mean that you can choose any skill you want just before doing the action? Does every medic (or worse every character) get the ability to self resurrect? Does every character have the 2nd Chance ability?

Maybe I am over reacting because I feel like crap, but just my .02…

At 19 seconds, it looks like a Light using the shotgun.

I think that guy is just a medium wearing shorts. The mediums look sort of skinny and lanky, the lights look really skinny.

How ppl will get this coins? By wining matches, achies etc.???

Ps. Good vid, gamapley looks much smoother now

I don’t recall seeing anyone throw more than one grenade. Throwing one grenade is not grenade spam. I think I read somewhere that there is a “cool down”, you can’t throw two grenades in rapid succession.

Well, if of the 8 players, 3 are soldiers, and each soldier has at least 2 nades, plus restocking, then there is the potential for a lot of nades to be thrown over the course of a couple of minutes of gaming.

The cool down is a good thing, that will slow things up a bit.

Man, what?

Are you referring to the XP you use to buy abilities? You earn that by playing the game.

Christ. SD can’t win. Every day people are whining that all we get is the same information over and over. They put out a decent informative trailer, and then you (basically) say it’s too much information?

However I disagree. I showed it to someone who knows very little about Brink and they really enjoyed it

Can you guys make a trailer without it feeling scripted and stale? Seriously.

[DarkangelUK]

It’s a video aimed at showing abilities, how the hell could it not be scripted? Seriously.

And what exactly did you see there? What ‘abilities’? Another movie making it look like a TF2 clone.

Molotovs, sticky nades, higher access for light bodies, turret deployments, hacking objectives, hacking turrets and self revive.

Watch it with your eyes open next time and you’ll see more.

And a seagull.

edit: and a shark!

I kinda love the new trailer, but friends on another forum had some reserves… I don’t really agree with that, but thought I’d share it with you to see your opinions : they feel that the trailer is showing movement kinda slow, more than previously, and the animations are a bit sloppy, like the self-reviving medic, or the silenced shotgun guy when in jumps at 0:18.

What do you think ?

[Om3ga]

Ok. I hope that this game won’t offer ablities for real money, that sux.:eek:

I don’t recall seeing anyone throw more than one grenade. Throwing one grenade is not grenade spam. I think I read somewhere that there is a “cool down”, you can’t throw two grenades in rapid succession.

Each type of grenade has a separate cooldown, so if a soldier wanted to spend two pips to throw a frag then a molitov back-to-back, he could.

I don’t know what to make of the guy with the silenced shotgun, he could be either light or medium, I’m not seeing anything that really identifies him as one or the other.

Personally, I would welcome shotguns as a light weapon, as I love shotguns and it would allow me to pair it up with a lot more weapons. Namely AR/Shotty instead of Shotty/Short Rifle; and the ability to use Shotty/Revolver while flanking with a light.

At the same time, I wouldn’t be happy to see the shotgun get nerfed to fit the role. I’d rather have a more powerful medium shotgun.

When was the last time that the pump-action shotgun was confirmed to be a medium weapon?

Very nice Vid now im more tagged about this game

[JeP]

Wait, I just realized something… there isn’t anymore upgrades to abilities ? Apparently, to get the gatling, you have to take the little and medium sentry before… there isn’t like 3 levels to one capability ?

I thought it was suppose to work like that…

What I saw was slow as hell gameplay, weird throwing animations, character animation sucked and oh yea, the spy from tf2 hacking a turret. WOW

What? They showed the gatling in the video because it’s obviously the coolest looking one.

I saw a covertop from etqw hacking the turret. I saw a jumbo jet that looked like it was made of plastic. I saw a seagull and a shark.
