Come on SD where's the facial hair?

Who needs big burley manly men without facial hair. You promote your customization system to the greatest extent. But I don’t think I’ve seen one picture in the gallery where a character has more than a five’o’clock shadow! I mean even Rhado sports the awesomeness of facial hair:

But I can’t grow a beard in real life so I really want to have one in-game! I mean here are some samples:

And don’t give me the whole military/security wouldn’t have beards, that’s just silly especially considering the setting of Brink. And just to further my point:

facial hair is one of the options I am most looking forward to in character customization, but haven’t really heard anything on it. Rahdo said they were going to have facial hair, but his response seemed a little…lackluster. I just hope they’re don’t half-ass the options.

I like your new avatar H0RSE and thanks for the link to that post, maybe they just haven’t shown anything off yet? I really hope there’s some real variety in it though…I mean most games (Dwarves excluded) have at most like five different beard types. Big sideburns, mustache, goatee, full beard, and bottom only goatee. Some games have more, but not often…

I mean in my mind there should at the very least be Foo Man Chu, bushy mustache, small mustache, bottom goatee, full goatee, full beard, bottom beard, sideburns, and sideburns to mustache. And that’s at the VERY least ;(

I have a chin beard and sideburns in real life, so I’m at least hoping for that.

This is as far as I’ve seen it go.

It doesn’t look that in-depth about it again.

Then again, the character’s hair is sort of covering the camera view. Plus this is the first video to be released on customization (it’s not even official, it was meant for a private viewing).

I want dynamic fingernail growth.

(INF3RN0) #7

Are you opting for a real life body type as well :wink:. Facial hair is still a must imo (those female character $ gotta be for beards)

See that just looked (could have just been the quality of the vid) like the stubble that some characters have and some don’t. I really hope the facial hair goes far beyond those two things ;/

Seth Armstrong mustache FTW

(Nail) #11

I prefer Dennis Gage

but, facial hair in game ? don’t care, probably wouldn’t use it

(darthmob) #12

Can’t have a thread about beards without a link to The Beard Cage.

(Shiv) #13

o wow darth

that was epic

(redbeardraven) #14

Working beard door!!! Absolute win.

I think any game with character customization should have facial hair, as well as tattoos, clothing, body build, and scars.

(BeyondSpectrality) #15

Beard cage is officially the coolest thing ever!

(Brandmon) #16

Facial Hair ftw!

(CleaverDancer) #17

lol that beard cage is awesome!

(Flawe) #18

This thread has the best…pictures…ever!

(Apples) #19

Thats serious shit here oO

Everyone pull out the knives and gun when we ask for some good (in some of us opinions) gameplay options but everyone seems so enthusiastic about facial hair… I hope the OP was sarcastic here, if not I truelly think there are 2 world in gaming community…

I also want a pink bandana instead of the capacity to hit what I’m aiming for and good netcode :roll:

Cmon…

peace

All you need is a slow target movement speed, not a better netcode, like this the net prediction will be more accurate. Guess why QW has no anti-lag for vehicles ? Because they are much faster than player running, and predict their position is much harder/inaccurate than a player running, and has you know, BRINK is slower than a snail so you shouldn’t need a better netcode, plus don’t forget that aiming isn’t an important thing according to some people here :stroggtapir:
