Release Date

(DarkangelUK) #21

They are aiming for this year, but nothing is ever final and no one can predict unforeseen problems… you don’t need a dev to tell you that :slight_smile:

(Stray) #22

August: Kane & Lynch 2, Mafia 2 - Bad for Brink
September: Halo Reach and Fallout:New Vegas, FEAR 3 - Bad for Brink
October: Medal of Honor, Portal 2 - Bad for Brink
November: CoD 7 - Bad for Brink
December: Crysis 2, LBP2, GT5 - Bad for Brink

So surely the game will be released in February or March next year

I don’t see August as that much competition… I’m sure Bethesda are capable of marketing Brink at the right time in the right way. :slight_smile:

I think august is brinks best time to release, kane and linch is a cult thing now, not very mainstreame considering the poor first one, and mafia 2 is kinda the same deal (although the second one is looks pretty badass), brink is new and fresh im sure its the best time for release

Given that line up, October and November aren’t bad months either. I’d pick October over August any day.

Get Reach mania out of the way, don’t step on Fallout. Then release either in front or behind Portal 2 on Steam and ride the Valve marketing of Portal 2.

In fact I’d only say Reach offered serious media/gaming competition (and that’s on a single platform). The other games either aren’t comparable or don’t really encroach on where Brink is going.

Did someone mention some other, more substantial games due for the end of 2010?

(Stray) #26

29 October?

(LyndonL) #27

I’m still hoping for September… October is too far away :frowning:

(Stray) #28

I’m still hoping for this year =D

(tokamak) #29

Indeed, pre-beta is an incredibly meaningless definition here, unless you want to convey that they haven’t released a beta yet.

(Makikou) #30

Kinda hoping for that 7th September to be true!

(PsYcHo) #31

August would be nice ! :smiley:
Can’t wait.

August is probably the best time to release, November is not to bad either, I know its COD 7 but the IW COD’s are a hell of a lot more popular than the Treyarch ones so don’t expect the same hype say as MW2. I suppose you could say the same for October, Medal of Honor is a completely different fan base and Portal a completely different game. Although the way SD is going I doubt there are many of their core fanbase looking forward to Brink, I know I’m not,

Avoid September at all costs and December while not as bad would still be pretty bad.

WaW seems to have a pretty decent fanbase, at least alot of people I know like it quite a bit.

Portal is a 2011 release =]

I still think august is the safest though.

(light_sh4v0r) #37

Yeh valve delayed portal because they have a different surprise to unveil: source2 engine and there’ve been some hints to … Duke Nukem Forever.

(signofzeta) #38

speaking of duke nukem forever, just got duke nukem 3d from XBLA from my extra 400 microsoft points. Stupid microsoft sells points at increment of 500 while the games sell at increment at 400, and that they fixed the increment system in US ONLY.

No wonder the rest of the world has more PS3 sales, except US, UK, and some other country.

I do hope that what brink offers in DLC or whatever isn’t country specific.

(tokamak) #39

…and ever and ever and ever…

(Loffy) #40

I predict 13 September.
