[QUOTE=BMXer;362158]Quakecon finals will be played on a map not a single player has even seen!!! WOOT!!!

This.

Dear Splash Damage employees; for the sake of your game looking even slightly decent at QuakeCon, I would strongly urge you to release extensive footage of Labs being played at least 2-3 days before QuakeCon. The Brink tournament already isn’t going to be the highlight of the event, at least allow the finals to be spectator-worthy.

You know, I didn’t really notice the Brink 360 graphics issue until I played Black Ops again for the first time in a month. I went from super sharp graphics in BlOps to blurry enemies in Brink. On my 55" LCD 1080p HDTV, I can really tell the difference, especially on CC in the first main street after the wall. Blurry blobs everywhere trying to kill me.

Is it sharper on the PS3??

Based on videos I’ve seen it does look a bit better on PS3 than 360, but it’s not as big of difference as when you compare console vs (Quality) PC. I’ll have to give the game a shot on my plasma tonight instead of the LCD and see if it makes any difference. Haven’t had a chance to play too much on that TV thanks to the wife.

So when’s the free weekend for steam?
Also if your worry about blobs in games, Battlefield 3 is the same way.


(AmishWarMachine) #65

From my experience, it depends… if the graphic (be it character model, or environmental) suddenly shows on screen (ie turning your view quickly, or an opponent/teammate pops into view) then the graphics are blurry for a second while the system loads the higher def images.

If the graphic is on screen long distance and I run towards it, then I never see the blurriness, as the PS3 is able to update the images fast enough to keep up.


(esomonk) #66

I specifically talking about Battlefield 3 alpha on my PC and Brink for PC. I notice they post use a depth of field like post processing effect to create the illusion of depth. It does replicate real sight better but it also makes it harder to see at a distance. In Battlefield 3 any guys I see are little blobs.

Awesome news! Just found out! :slight_smile:

DLC this and DLC that, these forums have changed a lot.

Note to gullible consoles:
Don’t get your hopes up (again) for the new date.[/QUOTE]

Mommy, Mommy, the bad people at Splash Damage would not make the game to my exact specifications! MOMMMEEEEEEEEEEE!

I have to say, maps of greenery will shake up the visuals a bit. It was one of my main reasons for voting for the arboretum/bio-dome maps in the recent future maps poll.

Looks lush. Will be nice to see how it handles and how your characters stand out against it.

I have spoken to my overlord (aka The Wife) and I have been granted the night off from all responsible duties! Huzzah!

I will be the fatboy Gotlung wielding Security behemoth blundering lost about the map! Or playing with the UAV!

Founders tower looks awesome

Punk’d


(Spendlove) #72

Yep.

I could be big headed and say my thread finally got Badman to post some info.

Or I could be the better man and point out I asked him to close my thread.

Which do you prefer?

Ha ha! Thanks Breo :smiley:

Bring on the UAVs!


(MastaPiff) #75

Can we not lvl up until tues. if my char. is @ lvl 20??? I was hoping that I could be lvl 24 on tues so I wouldn’t have 2 play all day (30,000+ for lvl 21!?) to get a uav…

On another note I noticed that a couple of my lite char’s had the glitch where they could carry heavy weapons (my lite char’s would rock carb-9’s for the main & a baulpan for the sidearm, so it wasn’t that obvious, down fire! LOL), now instead of a baulpan the sidearm looks like a reskinned belgo mp. It’s strange cuz I only have the psycho dlc which only reskins the ritchie (the ceasar). So I got a free piece of dlc! I’m pretty sure I can’t add any attachments tho cuz that breaks the glitch but I noticed the update seems to make machine pistols shoot a lil mo’ accurate! More fun to be found in update im sure…!


(kaydawg135) #76

Ah hell to da yeah! But knowing my luck i’ll be working both of my jobs. The same thing happen to me at launch but I had my girlfriend pick it up for me. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed praying i don’t have to work my 2nd job that day. This is torture.


(Artillery Tuna) #77

Just de-level your guy once and then re-level him to 20 but don’t spend the point until the DLC comes. Assuming the new abilities are all rank 5, it will be unlocked and you’ll have that point saved to spend on it.


(felismenari) #78

Well, looks like the reason for me to start playing this game again has showed up. Been waiting on the balance tweaks more than anything, but it’s nice that the DLC will hit in less than a week from now.


(wolfnemesis75) #79

Stopwatch changes are very good. Like how you added the progress and time breakdown. Good stuff. :slight_smile:

“we’ve also been able to tackle a bunch of issues with some items being misreported on the Brink statistics site. By the way, if you haven’t registered an account on there yet, now’s the time!”

Because there have been a few Lulzsec arrests or because Beth have patched the security holes on that site? :rolleyes:
