Sorry Bezzy, I’m at a loss with my basic english skills and don’t really understand your answer. Can you hang at ledges or not?
What the internet has to say about shimmying:
intr.v. shim·mied, shim·my·ing, shim·mies
- To vibrate or wobble abnormally.
- To shake the body in or as if in dancing the shimmy.

Oh sorry. You can mantle up and over things, yes, but you can’t “hang” and stay there. You’ll just get up and over swiftly, (you can also cancel the move and drop back down if you fight the direction, and you can also jump back away if you want to be Pro).
Well as SockDog said, i was more querying the falling short but grabbing the ledge and pulling yourself up motion without actually hanging. More so for smart button move cos that would indicate i definitely wanted to go to that ledge, else i could just fall without grabbing the ledge.
Ah, okay then! Yes, you can jump/fall into a ledge grab in the way you are describing.
So I could attempt a jump towards a platform, fall short of a foot landing and instead SMART to grab onto the edge of the platform and start climbing back up, then jump out of that mid-climb, potentially SMART grabbing onto another platform?
Are there limits to the chaining I can do between those kinds of moves?
I’m thinking back to the kind of movement on Jedi Knight 2/3 where it was possible to do stuff like force speed > jump for a long jump, chain into a wall stick thingy when you hit a wall, then jump off upwards again to some higher platform. Or wall stick > jump > wall stick > jump to climb corners of rooms. That movement was slightly clunky but also ace.
or could you do a broken kind of shimmy along a ledge by holding, drop, hold, drop while strafing, i assume it would look pretty funny and totally broken… but… its a shimmy 
the jumping off walls does intrigue me tho, i assume the level designers will make use of this for sexy spots to sit.
It certainly makes Brink more fun to design maps for than normal run’n’gun shooters!
First person ledge hanging and shimmying just aren’t very sexy, unless you’re really turned on by the entire screen being a texture at nose length.
It’s why most games that feature it are either 3rd person to begin with, or switch from 1st to 3rd person when doing ledge moves. We wanted to keep the 1st person view as much as possible, and keep the action fast.

On wall hops, there are diminishing returns on the velocity for for each wall jump you use and you can’t wall jump twice on the same surface without touching the floor once to reset.
This might be a silly question, it’s about Vsays.
Do all classes have their own voicesound/pitch?
Can you regocnize which class spoke by the sound of their voice?
Yeah, if you’re continuing to hold the SMART button (or the jump button if you’re not using SMART), you’ll automatically latch on and pull yourself up on ledges you hit during jumps.
Good question, and I have to say I’m not sure. If the code for it is still rattling around in there, I wouldn’t rule it out. Not making any promises though 
[QUOTE=DarkangelUK;198666]Double post ftw…
movie making Q’s…
Will we still be restricted to 30fps for capturing?
Any freecam support out of the box?
If yes will we have a camming system that doesn’t require a few hundred quid spent on Maya? 
Will virtual texturing effect what we see with regards to freecam? From my understanding, only what you see is textured, but if a freecam is on the other side… does it go from the cameras POV and show everything as normal or the players POV and we see untextured surfaces?[/QUOTE]
Early days on the spectator mode stuff. It’s being worked on now, and when we get our ducks in a row, we’ll be talking about it soon…

No plans for that at the mo’. But in most cases you can tell which class it was from the dialog spoken: medics don’t often say “c4 charge planted”, for instance…
Hi … I´ve search for it but I dont found an answer… will BRINK have a FRIENDLIST and CLANLIST like ETQW ?
This is a great Goodie ! I miss it at the most Games !!!
So you’ve got your guy, you pick your side, and you drop into a fight. If it’s you on your todd, you play with or against bots. If a mate pops up online (via Steam – despite this being a Bethesda-published game, SD are adamant we won’t have Games For Windaaaaargh Live inflicted on us here. They’re agreeably if cautiously rude about it, in fact), you can invite him in and he’ll take over from one of those bots. If he has to leave, a bot will replace him.
No GFWL, thank f*ck for that. I thought with Bethesda and console centric focus it was a near certainty.
Steam plus all it’s backend would be fantastic, be sure to bung in the Steam cloud stuff so we can have our configs online.
BTW - Screw the Steam haters.
or none of course.
