Abilities Take Center Stage in New Brink Trailer

(JeP) #121

Body Type will determine which weapons you will play with during the game, and can be changed between matches. The three different builds are Light, Medium, and Heavy. Heavy body types have access to every gun in the game, while Light body types will only have access to Pistols and Light Weapons.

Seen on Brink’s wiki.

wikia info is community driven.

I don’t have time to link that to a devs’ saying, or a gameplay screenshot, sorry, but if you wish so hard to find the source of it, feel free to look through the compendum, or the forum, or the several gameplay vids.

Thing is, it has been taken for fact for quite a while now : there’s no shotgun available for the light guys.

(BioSnark) #124

I know it’s been taken as fact as it was in a discussion, here, months ago. Maybe missed the source, earlier. Thanks though.

(tokamak) #125

As good as confirmed. It can’t be more obvious.

(Exedore) #126

Lights can’t use shotguns. It was definitely considered, but in the end I decided the melee knife gave them more interesting gameplay, as Lights tend to come in quite a bit closer.

We have video footage of a light using the SG, or an apparent dev saying they can’t with no source… at the moment the video footage is the most trustworthy until we get confirmation to counter it.

(badman) #128

(That’s a medium in the video.)

(JeP) #129

Seems to me you haven’t shown a lot of lights or heavies in your videos for the moment… have you ?
For example on the last one, we can see only a heavy, and no light, right ?

If I’m right, I think people are seeking for heavies and lights everywhere, so we tend to see a heavy in each character with kind of big cloths, and a light in mediums running around.

People tend to be scared when they don’t see the light.

:smiley: (but these are real questions)

(BioSnark) #130

…concerned about speed?

@sd thank you.

(JeP) #131

Not really, but I’m wondering.

I know that, for each gameplay footage I’ve seen, I was thinking “ok so there should be light medium and heavy characters here”, even from the played character… And maybe I was very wrong, and maybe I wasn’t the only one to make that mistake.

(Ragoo) #132

Next video will be about bodytypes I guess :slight_smile:

(IceBrazuca) #133

I hope so and I can estimate them doing a video about that. Probably a video about the Resistance and one about the Security as well.

(LyndonL) #134

Did you honestly say that a developer said something but without a source? They are the source.

If it were an old quote then sure I’d be iffy on it, but from today? Dude… Jade is not your colour.

EDIT: I take it back DA… I’s still got faith in ye :tongue:

exedore’s post appeared a good while after darkangel posted.

(JeP) #136

Ok I wasn’t the only one to find it weird !

(Hot-Wire) #137

You basically just agreed with me on the fact it wasn’t official until now. That is all I was trying to bring across. Saying it is as good as confirmed is a fallacy however, since the devs could always remove it like the soldiers shield ability.

(BioSnark) #138

Don’t recall what you’re arguing about but regardless of whether or not something gets cut later, isn’t it “confirmed” if someone confirms that it’s going to be there?

(3Suns) #139

Thanks as always, Exedore and badman. Nothing like clearing up the fog.

I look forward to seeing the knife in action, and even more so, the Light. I don’t think that the chase scene near the end of the video was necessarily done by Lights, either, which means, we still haven’t even seen it in action. I think it must be a little like Bruce Lee, too fast for the camera. :wink: Can’t be captured. Enough foreplay already! Time to get naked.

Oh, and don’t worry about seeing the Heavies, people. Watching them is like watching Takanohana. It is all internal. Only fellow martial artists can see what is going on inside the almost motionless body. That is what a successful heavy looks like, and an unsuccessful one? Well, nobody wants to see one of those.

Yes, the craters, and just beyond the hill crests! :smiley:

lol I manage to blow up tanks even after laying them in plain view.
