From The Escapist-

While we were waiting, I asked Ham if Splash Damage and Bethesda were planning a public beta.

“We’re not talking about that,” he said. “I have no way I can answer that.” Which, as cop-outs go, was at least honest. He did, however, tell me that Splash Damage has “a history” of doing public betas, and left me to make of that what I will.

oooh, nice :cool:

Yahtzee doesn’t like multiplayer so whatever he will say will be based on Brink’s offline content.

We can dream right?

Escapist author Russ Pitts was very positive about the game, and it was great to read that he is impressed by the A.I. That is excellent news!

But the most impressive aspect of Brink (at least for me, an inveterate single-player) is the bots. During our demo, the Splash Damage team had custom-created the bots and named them after members of the dev team who were in attendance at E3. Since many of these devs were also giving their own demos, I assumed I was playing against them. Time after time, the bots - named for real people - acted like real people. When Ham informed me I’d been playing against bots, I was astonished.

YES!
