I know that Brink, being the success it already appears to be has a lot of people coming from different console games, hence the different perspectives.
I am not expecting anyone to acknowledge that PC perspective should be discussed here. If only for the reason that you do not browse this forum with your console, are you?
Still, i can understand that console platforms in this new world of video gamin that is not targeted at hardcore fans anymore arethe main targets of any aspiring publisher.
Nevertheless, pay homage to the spiritual successors. ETQW was on console, and afaik its the only console game comparable to Brink.
Analogies from other games will most likely fall short.
