Looking at the footage it seems like this title if suffering heavily due to console limitations. I like the concept but..

It's to sluggish

To slow

You need half a clip to kill somebody

Crosshair looks awful

The game really cought up my attention at announcement but im shure it will be forgetted in about 1/2 years while TF2 still will be going strong.

Simply because it's far more responsive and twitchy. And those are the elements this kind of games need.

You're right. Maybe you should email Splash Damage and tell them how to make their game.

Sluggishness, slowness, half a clip, crosshair style, yup, all consoles fault. Absolutely nothing to do with the games design.

Yeah, I never understood why there are games like this. For instance, Gears. Good game, but the characters feel way too slow.

How are any of those things down to consoles? There are fast games on consoles, there are games where you need a couple of shots to kill someone, and crosshairs?! what? I think you need more weight behind your argument sir.

Also, what kind of name is "Brink"? What a terrrible name. Must be a console limitation.

Brink isn't a clone of anything. It seems to be a pretty unique shooter. I also don't see any "bad console habits", despite being a PC gamer who sometimes agrees with the "consolization" argument.

It has been heavily influenced by Splash Damage's previous games and other games, Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead to name some. Just because it has similar aspects and traits from other game, does not make it a clone. In addition, everything you mentioned isn't a console limitation. -.- Also, imo, the slowness of the game is awesome. It makes it more tactical instead of having super fast people running around the whole map. AND that is what Splash Damage is trying to achieve, a tactical team-based game. So Shhh... Can't wait for the Game =D

It'll have freely downloadable dedi server files for the pc and has been developed ground-up for all three systems. There goes your port argument.

Lol, okay. How is it a clone? The only thing they have in common is that they're class based shooters. By that logic Kirby is a Mario clone for be a platformer. Team Fortress 2 was not the first class based shooter ever.

Team Fortress 2 was on consoles too so I don't see how Brink not being exactly like Team Fortress 2 means it was designed fofor the console's "limitations". It's just different which is likely intentional.

Ignorance, of course. Anyone who has played the Enemy Territory games knows what makes SD's game different and more hardcore than -any- mp game out there.

1. Clearly the OP has never played Return the Castle Wolfenstein (multiplayer), Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, or Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. If anything, Brink looks like a spiritual successor to these games than anything else. 2. It's funny that the OP says that it looks slow...if anything, TF2 is really slow, from movement, to the amount of damage people can take (save for crits). That isn't a bad thing, since it's been balanced accordingly.

You need half a clip to kill somebody TF2 is just as bad.

Crosshair looks awful cool opinion

When COD is super fast and kills with one burst people complain. When Brink is slower and it takes more damage to kill people complain. Also, "the crosshairs look bad, this is a console limitation!" = :lol:

Games like this and Left 4 Dead just seem like they're made to appeal to PC gamers. If I was interested in this kind of game I'd want to get a powerful gaming PC for it.

1. I have. A lot. And, yes, Brink is an amalgamation of the good things of those games. Yet, it has sufficient new stuff to be called new. 2. Nope, didn't say that.
