As much as I love Brink’s look, I always hated that ugly, sky blue background.

(longbow) #382

I do agree that the background should at the very least be a bit darker, but at least this is better than that stupid tweaker dude they had jump-shooting across the other cover.

(H0RSE) #383

lol, I prefer the other guy with the piercings, over the Anger archetype.

(Auzner) #384

It’s the color of the sky on a clear sunny day. It makes the game stand out and looks alright to me. Maybe there’s too much negative space which doesn’t reflect the game’s vast customization.

(Reanimator) #385

I actually like the background, :). but to each his own.

Yeah the ad doesn’t really seem to say much, but it does kind of get you interested to know more, doesn’t it? and I think that is the whole point.

I agree the pictures with a completely blue background don’t look very nice. This one however is fine imo, with the ark in the background and a slight gradient in the blue.

Thanks for the pic!

Bahaha you know the names of the archetypes by sight Horse!? :eek:

(light_sh4v0r) #388

lol, that’d be a bit sad. I guess I’ll know them too after a month or so, but not before release :o

(Nikto) #389

cough**blush just wanna say i wouldn’t recognize them if they shouted their names in my face

(Auzner) #390

Some of us study the night before the exam and some work on pieces throughout the month. In the case of Brink, H0RSE has the entire text book read before the semester begins. Since archetypes do not factor into any balancing I don’t care to know what they are yet. Also nothing has been finalized. The guy is holding a molotov though, which I thought I read was taken out of the game.

(Maawdawg) #391

Molotovs and flashbangs are in still, for soldiers at least. That bit of info was in a few recent interviews and previews.

[QUOTE=LyndonL;245174]Bahaha you know the names of the archetypes by sight Horse!? :eek:[/QUOTE]Yes, and the other guy you see on the cover (with the piercings and the gun) is The Lost archetype.

(tokamak) #393

You recognise advanced players more easily.

(Auzner) #394

I thought they were all available from the start? Well if not then you have a point.

(tokamak) #395

You unlock them over time. The archetypes are simply sets of clothes that fit together in the same style.

(Nikto) #396

yes, but the archetypes on brinkthegame.com should be available from the start?
at least i assumed so, because if there are no options in the beginning, then the first games will consist of players all looking exactly the same, and making those archetypes available is easier and probably more popular, than giving random customization options.

(light_sh4v0r) #397

You can still select many different colours for the clothing you have, I don’t think it’ll be that bad.
