Gamespot UK’s weekly show “Start Select” has a part called “Brink Survival Tips”.

It’s currently only accessible via PS3 Mortal Kombat link, for some reason.

Richard Ham “Move more than you shoot. If you are standing still, you are a dead man”

O HOW I LOVE TO HEAR THAT!

Okay so if you just want to see the tips, they’re here:

I still think Start Select is pretty cool though.

" I was in the beta for this game at the start of the year and although it was a Beta the game was completely horrible. Lets forget about all the bugs because of its beta status. The graphics were horrible, cutscenes looked great which is what they’ve been showing to the press but the actual ingame graphics were horrible. Think of the punisher game on PSNs graphics.The gunplay was **** and it usually consisted of one team camping at the invading teams spawnpoint and butchering the attacking team as they spawned. The players movement is also a turnoff. The only good thing about this game was the customization. They did the customization really well. Weapons can be modded with loads of parts you unlock as you progress through the game and everything from shoes, to tattoes and hair can be customized from dozens of items. I’m staying very far away from this game even though I only played the beta." I can’t fit the rest of the message here on my PS3 but I found this interesting. It’s in the comments below.

I couldn’t fit the link so I made another post. Might as well finish it off.

“Yeah graphics will be more polished and the game will have no bugs but that core gameplay will stay the same and I didn’t like it one bit.”

IF someone was in a beta, they would have signed a NDA. Breaking that NDA can cause lots of problems. That person is a troll.


(0xT1) #1087

or in a lot of problems


(ShoryukenII) #1088

Breaking the NDA under anonymity less than a week before release causes no problems. I’ve broken countless NDA’s. I don’t read them and I doubt many people listen to them (unless it is a serious beta you have to play at SD). The FBI haven’t caught me yet. ;p

But some people are just dumb. In fact, I’ve seen people saying RAGE has bad graphics. That game looks better than Brink.


(madness) #1089

Although he only played PS3 beta, and he could be a troll, these things slightly worry me that maybe the game won’t be as good as hoped :frowning:


(0xT1) #1090

Probably not, its easy to idealize the game


(DarkangelUK) #1091

Seems he just doesn’t like the gameplay, not everyone will. You’ve heard loads of people who have had hands on time say they love the game, yet 1 person saying he doesn’t makes you worried?


(madness) #1092

I’ve been worried since I heard it uses id tech 4


(system) #1093

“id Tech 4” has come a long way. The BRINK engine has about 20-30 percent “id Tech 4” (the ETQW version) in it.
They have rewritten the renderer and some other things from scratch, so I wouldn’t jump to any conclusion only because of the “id Tech 4” tag.

and btw a member of the gamers.at (austrian PC magazine) staff has stated on the forums:

I already had lots of fun playing the game for a review. There’s finally going to be a really, really good MP game again.

The new issue will come out next friday. I’ll post their conclusion in here.

The Danny Illabac Parkour Tour released some new footage of Brink’s SMART system going up against Danny Illabaca and his trusty headcam:

I’m pretty over excited for this one, because 1) all the guys who made that parkour tour happen are cool and 2) I am doing some of the controlling of the brink tricks (and some is Jeremy), and we are also cool.
