Four Brink Screenshots Make Online Debut

(Lequis) #81

If you look at the first gameplay video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmKZchM0AiE) at 1:21, they come close, but I’m pretty sure they are two separate islands.

Either way, the old shipping container area is an add-on to the original island or a separate one altogether. The Ark itself is almost purely white/blue, whereas Container City seems to have been constructed out of a ship graveyard.

If Container City was a shipping yard in the blueprints for Ark, then it would make the Ark asymmetric, which is probably not the case because it was a luxury resort and asymmetric design would have been seen as an eyesore to some of its residents.

Check out the Container City video 1. It has a brief description of the “city” and includes a picture of it.

And welcome to the forum! :slight_smile:

Wow, I feel stupid now, nice call. I never looked at the picture from before versus twenty to forty-some years later.

nice screenshots :slight_smile:

I’m guessing expansive underwater areas, all we’ve seen so far of the above sea level stuff seems to be infrastructure related, makes sense to put the people below sea level especially if there is risks of solar radiation and extreme weather.

You and me both! Yeah, baby!

The day SD show off that (those) level(s) people across the Internet will be “omg bioshock!”. Can’t wait :smiley:

Anyone know if the Ark makes it all the way to the bottom of the ocean? As far as I’m concerned it is just floating on top and heavy enough to not be capsized by a tsunami. Though the look would definitely resemble Bioshock if they released underwater levels.

I would be very surprised if they designed the Ark to be “attached” to the bottom of the ocean. However, one imagines that like an iceburg, for whatever is sticking above the water, a much larger section is submerged. Hence the “underwater” levels. BABY!

I’m not so sure it’ll actually resemble bioshock at all, of course as Florisjuh points out that won’t stop people saying it. Brink’s art style is far more vibrant and modern.

Yeah it’s easy to mistake art deco with Brink’s overall theme…

(brbrbr) #93

ark may have underwater supply stations and/or other overseeing corporate facilities of many types, including undergound/underwater[inside shelf] cities and flying assets.

(SockDog) #94

And yet someone will, even if it’s “BS, they ripped of bioshock and just made it look modern”.

Have to say I hope there is a map where the resistance have to flood a glass observation chamber by blowing several hatches. Each hatch floods the chamber creating a different layout of debris to SMART across.

Also bullet holes or grenade fragments in underwater glass should let out a spray of water (unrealistic I know) that obscures a players vision if they run through it. Sort of like a watery smoke screen.

There won’t be any water gameplay as far as you can gather from the interviews and SD posts.

Bump to remind homers how they were used
