Latest Brink Video Dev Diary Melds Single and Multiplayer

(ehrw) #21

Yet another awesome high class episode. Though I can’t seem to feel the slowness and stiffness people that’s played have spoke about. Looks mega smooth. Except the leaning which was a little stiff compared to other games I’ve seen

One video better than the other! Keep it up! :slight_smile:

Here is a little breakdown of the scenes I found particularly interesting or exciting.
Note: after each bullet point marked with an asterisk, read “FTMFW”.

[/li][/ul][/QUOTE]I’d say that’s the new hostage rescue mission type where the medics have to keep them alive.

Ah, cool! Thanks. :slight_smile:

(tokamak) #26

So does firing at the hostage make him slow down?

(Lianshi) #27

If you look closely you can see my rubber ducky in this vid :smiley:

(DarkangelUK) #28

I believe the medic has to keep him healed to move quicker and injuries make him move slower, and if incapped, they have to revive him.

(potkettleblack) #29

Interesting - so an MCP mission with added speed factor, minus the driving.

I wonder if the repair bot loses speed when its damaged.

The game footage in this video look better than the previous one, very nice.

(Loffy) #31

SD´s “BORED ROOM”, lolz.

(BomBaKlaK) #32

but there is something strange about the solo campain !

there is no “solo” there is only multiplayer maps with bots !!!
make a big différence !!

(light_sh4v0r) #33

What else were you expecting? All single player games have bots :tongue:

(tokamak) #34

Haha got it, it’s orange. Does everyone have the same wallpaper on their desktop?

Also, I’m REALLY curious what the hell a ‘duc-taped magazine’ has to offer as a weapon upgrade. Or is it a downgrade?

Also, abilities are now having a ‘cost’ which all happen to be 1. I guess that means one slot, does this mean there are slots that take in multiple slots? I guess that makes sense for abilities with higher tiers (weapon damage rank 3 would take up 3 slots) but does this also include abilities which just happen to be that powerful?

(BomBaKlaK) #35

I dont care about solo !

that’s just the way they talk about
So some people think there is a solo !

So Coop vs Bots >>>> make me smily, maybe for train only one time but not really interresting !

(light_sh4v0r) #36

I don’t see your point, there is singleplayer. Definition of single player is playing by yourself, how is Brink’s singleplayer different from any other?

(BomBaKlaK) #37

I play Wolf:ET and Still play ETQW ! during lot of years and I play maybe 5 times vs Bots
So for me that’s only a multiplayer game with some features ! bit boring to play vs bot usually

a “Solo” is more like a movie ! context actions that you can’t do in a multiplayer experience
And a massive story line

(light_sh4v0r) #38

Since Brink is said to have a massive storyline in multiplayer, it doesn’t really make a difference :wink:

(INF3RN0) #39

Some people like boss fights ya know :D. Maybe someone will make a mod for that stuff later down the road if it is really necessary for some.

It boosts reload speed. You can see it change the stat at like 1:23 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPRWvbWzV-k
