[drupal=558]First Official Brink Footage Released, Shows Off SMART[/drupal]

The very first official Brink footage is now available online at G4 TV’s website, offering a first glimpse at the world of Ark. In the video, Game Director Paul ‘Locki’ Wedgwood walks and talks us through the freedom of movement offered by Brink’s SMART system and shows off some of the things that are possible with it, all set within the Ark’s abandoned airport.
Keep an eye out for more videos later in the week. If you’re in the US, you can catch additional telly coverage throughout the week on G4TV’s X-Play. Check your local listings for more information on that.

Awesome stuff, really looking forward to playing with the SMART stuff. I also like the how the 1st screen that’s in your post looks just like the the screenshot with the ark in the background… that everyone said was photoshopped :smiley: Should shut them up

Im just gald Im getting to see some game play. Great work so far by the looks of things keep it up

I have never liked round crosshairs in shooters, a few options to change that would be great(I play on Xbox :frowning: some on give me a good PC please) but I sure my self and any one else throwen off by them would get used to it if they really enjoy the game

you’ve said that before (Wolfenstein?) or i’m having deja vu :smiley:

Anyway looks cool so far, I’m not really into the SMART stuff, prefer to move myself and I also wonder how the SMART works when you don’t run up to things, like stand just under it and want to slide, or you decide that you want to do a 180 when you jump off the balcony, or start climbing ontop of something and then want to let go before you reach the top, etc…

So can’t wait for a more detailed trailer or the release (just try it myself :smiley: )

good. I want it finished to perfectionz… and can’t afford another game in spring :smiley:

Looks great and Bezzy’s headcam research looks like it paid off, real smooth movement but no jerkyness all over with the camera.

Can’t wait until we get some vid of it with some more going on.

Some good spirited whine is justified, it’s not like any of us are going to celebrate a delay even if we understand why they occur and our toys remain firmly in our cots.

I’d say it’s unfortunate they aren’t going to meet their original deadline. I do appreciate they’ve put it out there now rather than wait until Apr/May 2010.

Here’s hoping the extra time they use to work on the main game also allows some more smaller features to be completed and slipped into the build.

[QUOTE=Nail;202413]I notice it now says Fall 2010, instead of Spring 2010[/QUOTE]Where exactly? It’s still mentioned as Spring 2010 in the video.

It’s a default feature for any PC multiplayer shooter and I expect it to be possible in Brink as well.

Oh I nearly forgot. Nice footage! Love the part with the flying guy behind the wall.

thx for video footage. spring, fall, whatever - it will be one cool game that is fur sure.
characters looks awesome, myriads of variations.
At 00:57, love the way it fades from vision to reality.
Smooth movement, indeed. What will a pub game look like with players jumping around? “Only time will tell.”

I see Fall, not Spring

These questions might have been asked, but Im lazy. After watching a few things I’m really curious about 2 things.

Basically you said you have console, so I’m just wondering can you change Field of View and the Bobbing. Cod MW 2 has a serious problem with the FOV. You have tunnel vision. I hope this can be changed. I had tunnel vision watching the demo. Next would be the “bobbing” can you disable it by console also? Bobbing is awful in any game. Just another useless distraction… Atleast can you take off draw gun?

Other then that the game looked pretty cool. Its not fully developed, but the game / demo seemed a bit choppy like the FPS were lowl. I could only image how it would look and feel with alot more players playing online in battle.

Weapons looked cool, so did the textures of the maps. Had a team fortress 2 visual which is awesome.
Thanks.

The very first Brink video preview has now been released by G4! Totally awsome! - http://bit.ly/76puH4

…sooo looking forward to this title! \o/

edit:
ouch. it’s now been confirmed by bethesda that brink’s been delayed 'til fall 2010. now that was a punch in the face on what started as the best brink day in quite awhile. now it’s the worst :frowning:


(Ragoo) #13

W000t, looking so cool :slight_smile: I will watch this preview more than a 100 times today xD

I hope this constant use of Iron Sight does not mean your accuracy is like CoD :frowning:


(10chankc2) #14

looking at the videos theres two things i don’t really like- the walking and movement is a bit too slow and clunky also the animations for SMART isn’t as good as mirrors edge where u can see ur own arms and feet but overall its really good


(darthmob) #15

[QUOTE=Nail;202430]I see Fall, not Spring[/QUOTE]Oh. I had seen the other video from xplay where real gameplay is shown and the commentary is from someone else. They said Spring.
Here’s the link: http://g4tv.com/videos/43021/Exclusive-Brink-Preview/

I don’t mind the delay as long as it means we will get to see a finished and polished product.

Only worrying thing is the green shit flashing off targets after you hit them. this video immediately came to mind.


(shibbyuk) #17

Looking nice, I like the look and feel of everything from what I can gather from that short clip.

It would have been nice to see what all that movement looked like from another player’s perspective.


(system) #18

Cool footage in these first two videos, the only thing that strikes me in a negative way is the shadow quality, but this might be due to the early version of the code (at least I hope so).


(RoryGreen) #19

It looked really good. I’m glad that they have delayed it, I thought spring was a bit too soon.

I don’t like the look of the xp flashing up. This would be good in multiplayer but please don’t put it in single player.

I agree, some of the visuals were very pixelated. I hope this will be fixed. They have the crazy texture thing that you use for big levels so the detail should be great in the final product. (If anybody knows what I am talking about, can you post the real term for this please)
