So are we gonna get a (PC) Demo or what?

(stankin) #1

Hi been wondering if theres ever going to be a demo released of Brink on the PC so we as possible customers can decide for themselves if brink is worth the $50-$60?

I dont really follow what the common sheeple think about the game, since these are the same fools that felt COD/Halo are"good games" though So far just going by low rated-reviews Im not going to chance dropping money on a game I cannot rent,try first with such a retail price. And since this is PC and renting is null and void. I would suppose its your move spashdamage on getting a demo out to the public.

the have already confirmed there will be no demos at all.

Thats kind of disappointing, but seeing that the game is unplayable right now its better they focus on fixing it first.

i dont get this? loads of people seem to have problems, i have it on pc and 360 and have had no problems, true i did install to my hdd on 360 and i have ssd for my pc but my friends have all been fine to and one has it on pc and is below spec (ati card aswell) works a treat. maybe just lucky?

A Steam weekend is a distinct possibility, but not immediately.

Very lucky. If you have Nvidia its a pretty high chance that you don’t have many issues, but if you have an ATI card the game is very sluggish.

i do have Nvida gtx 470’s in sli, was glad sli dose’nt cause any probs, the funny thing is my friend has an ATI card that is lover then the min requirements and his run like a dream to. that’s lucky lol.

I don’t get you OP…

You say you don’t follow so called sheep who love the games that get praised and sell like hotcakes… but when a game comes along that tries something a little different and isn’t praised by the people you seem to be set against and also has a very strong underground following from day one, you don’t want to get behind that either…

Let me just mention a few things:
The average score for Brink is 70-80% from what I can gather, and the only reason it didn’t shoot higher is because the reviews were made pre-patches. If you consider that most games that are rated higher follow the generic standard, and that 70-80% on average for a game that is a work in progress (IE: it can only get better with future patches) is a respectable score, then it might appease a little of your worry.

The game feels /very/ different to your standard shooter, and takes a little getting used to, so many people who don’t want their set ideas challenged won’t even give it a go before bashing it.

I’m playing the ps3 version right now, so obviously I can’t get online, but - and I’m extremely difficult to please when it comes to FPS - the SP is a tonne of fun even though it’s has flaws. I’ve been playing it for a few hours straight, and I’m not getting tired. If SP is this good, then I know MP is going to be wonderful.

Of course I’m in no way against a demo, but I reckon you should take a little leap with this one and get in on the ground floor. My prediction is that, aftr a few patches and some DLC, this thing is going to gain some pretty decent momentum.

well if you want a demo for every game then get a console, then you can just rent if from you local blockbuster. (blockbuster in the uk. not sure what rental stores you have in the US.)

this will at least let you get an idea what the game play is like and then you can buy it or not buy it for pc.
(im assuming its game play you are curious about since the gfx’s and such things are all over the net in videos.)

He shouldn’t have to go to that expense to be able to try a game before buying, though.

I just think in this case the game has so much potential and SD have such a good rep when it comes to supporting their products that the risk of purchasing it is pretty minimal.

(Twistedpandora) #11

that’s a valid point cant argue against that but the rest of us bought brink without a demo, and I’m glad i did. its just the risk you take with any new game, right?

your funny…not really

(stankin) #13

see that’s all i would ask for honestly. giving the full game for a limited time or a unlimited demo that had some restriction, most just want enough time to try the game to see if its worth it or not.

Nothing special, thats all thats it.

i wasn’t being funny i was just saying if he/she had a console they could rent it.
