I have seen all these pre release gameplay video’s on youtube titled " Brink xbox 360 gameplay ".These videos show the game looking amazing and running flawlessly ( nothing like how the final 360 verson actually runs ) it looks like a shoty piece of crap. Looks and runs like a ps2 game or like were playing it on an out dated pc with all the settings turned down. I found out a few days ago that they admitted that those gameplay videos were actually on a maxed out pc with an xbox controller, so every single pre release gameplay video released by SD was on a super charged pc.Thats just straight out BSing.This game seems like it was not even tested at all.Now dont get me wrong i really like the core idea of the game but it just looks and runs soo bad that it makes me not even want to play it. SD if you dont fix this soon i dont like your chances of ever selling anymore games ever again,not to me atleast.
I find it really sad that the video game market has come to this…I mean what the hell is going on,is it the half assed coders you have hired or just pure lazyness,trying to release the game as quick as possible so u can get out hard earned cash.
Im over it,im over buying a game and not being able to play it as it was advertised…
I have bought 4 games this year so far. Homefront ( broken ) Crysis 2 ( Broken ) Portal 2 ( works how its meant to,thank god) and now brink, which is the worst of them all.I mean what the hell is going on? Have you all just given up?
I posted this,not to have a winge…Well not only to have a winge but also to express my frustration at the low quality of the FPS games released this year.Brink is not the only one,but is by far the worst imo.
Comment if you are as p**** off as i am.
They Lied
They never claimed a game was Xbox 360 footage when it wasn’t.
They often said that they were showing all kinds of different setups to show the flexibility of their game, specifically mentioning that they sometimes had a PC setup with a 360 controller.
If you saw ABXY commands and assumed it was Xbox footage, thats not them lying.
Dude,your a Legend…I like you,funny bastard.This game is good but is really getting on my nerves.It looks like total crap,i cant play this.Would of been better off as an arcade title imo.
Seriously. I think people have been uninstalling in droves. There are barely any populated servers. It’s a like a ghost town, or will be soon enough!
yeah man,i think everyones had enough…For now atleast.There is just way to many glitches/bugs etc on all platforms.

i agree completely
the game itself is amazing, but the release (for pc at least i can’t comment on your x-box problems) but the quality testing for the general public seems to be non-existant
if they had just spent a few bucks on a computer lab and tested it with one of the worlds best selling card series alot of frustration could have been avoided
this game had huuuuuuge potential but people are already walking away with a bad taste in their mouths because of massive technical problems
great game
bad launch
killed themselves out of the gate
i just love how when someone has no response to an amazing argument they quote grammar etc.
this was the best retort you had to this guys well thought out perfectly understandable post?
pathetic
There was no pre release footage on Xbox, all footage was on PC with 360 controllers(early) or PS3(later)
I think (big) game developers need to radically change their testing methodologies. Instead of testing in lab conditions, always on the same machines, they should
a) actually rent computers from ordinary people, gamers. Test the game for a while on them, send in back, pay the owner.
b) a variation on closed beta - travel around the country, install Brink beta on people’s computers (rent them), remove Brink when done, pay the owner, move on. (Why not just closed beta ? Because good testers are hard to find and random people are more likely to just want play for free)
It may be hard for an executive to grasp, but when game launches and technical issues are as bad as this maybe spend more money on testing, not advertising ? It’s pretty obvious misleading marketing and hype backfired in Brink’s case. So it was not just not beneficial, it was harmful.
