Confirmed: All Brink footage from PC build, not 360 or PS3

PSUni: Brink, an incredibly impressive looking first-person shooter from the British developer who brought Enemy Territory to id Software, recently unveiled its first gameplay footage.

We'd seen the screenshots, and we'd heard the banter from the developers, but the gameplay footage solidified the fact that Brink would be one of the most impressive games of 2010.

With some of the best PS3 talent from Ninja Theory, PlayStation gamers needn't worry about their version of the game. However, we were always going to doubt the developer's ability to pull off a game that rivals Killzone 2 and Rage across multiple platforms.

[Darkeyes]

Well... So much for the KZ2 killer on the 360.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

I wonder how fanboys going to spin this. Brink does look fun though but seriously 360 fanboys stop desperately hoping a 360 game will surpase Killzone 2 so much. I guess the way yall going to spin this is "CryEngine 3 will surpass killzone 2" lol.

[nycredude]

I was just watching a gametrailers vid of this game after reading HHG's BS article claiming it surpasses Killzone 2 and I came to 3 conclusions while watching it.

1) It looked great

2) It was a PC build

3) It wasn't better than Killzone 2

One more thing, it looked boring.

[Lavalamp]

It looks "great" but it also looks "boring" to you? Elaborate please.

[Chris Hansen]

@Lavalamp1138
I think he means it looks great visually, but it looks boring gameplay wise.

[Saaking]

haha, Just like I told you guys, but it seems some of you just don't listen. The console version won't look anywhere near KZ2/UC2.

[Noob]

It still doesn't look better than Killzone 2.

[kalebgray92]

hope it gets better

[gaffyh]

I already said this several times. This build is the same one which was at the eurogamer expo, which was running on a PC, but using a 360 controller. Paul Wedgewood even opened the debug console during the demo and typed something in to use a different codebase during the live demo!

[Erotic Sheep]

Just 2 things I had trouble with while watching ingame footage:

- The textures dont match the visual quality of the rest of the game. These textures are too low and I dont know why.

- Whats up with the character models? They look more like TF2 instead of taking the realism path.

[Hellsvacancy]

Well that shuts HipHopGamer up (again) Brink>>>K2 hahahahahaha

[Ju]

Let's just hope, the console version looks like those HD videos (or at least close, and some things improve).

It has unique gameplay. I would very much enjoy playing that game. The "pseudo" multiplayer campaign (offline with bots but with classes, but also online with up to 8 players ?) is pretty new. This hasn't been done before. Great concept, I hope they really pull that off for consoles.

[ultimolu]

Lol, I just laughed when I saw this title. I still cannot believe HHG called this game a KZ2 killer in terms of graphics.

[raztad]

To be a footage from the PC version game still looked rather plain in comparison to KZ2, still one more year to go though, so it's quite expected the PC version matches and surpasses KZ2.

Way to mislead people, and get xbox fans excited about nothing. Playing a PC game with xbox controllers.

EDIt:

I think Brink looks quite interesting gameplay wise. I love the idea of ME-like movement in a shooter. I even think Brink got KZ2 cover system, but I'm not sure about it.

[GVON]

Even during E3 this was known.I remember a couple of sites reporting it was 360 footage because they were using a 360 pad but this was released around the same time.

"Stern further illustrated just how a console mindset has taken over the studio. "On the playtests, everyone uses a controller. You're not allowed to use a mouse and keyboard. Level designers were not happy at first, but we all got into the habit."

[Sarcasm]

You know I wasn't surprised by this.

How could a console that

1. Gets released a year early, hence has much earlier development time and is usually the lead platform

2. Claimed to be "easier" to develop than PS3 across the board

3. Has such a "powerful" GPU

4. Been on the market for Four years now

5. Hasn't shown anything that touches Killzone 2 let alone run a game like Wipeout HD in full 1920x1080 60fps resolution.

and all of a sudden a MULTIPLATFORM simultaneously developed game is going to surpass Killzone 2?

Nuff' said

[evrfighter]

Add another title to the pc list that demolishes anything consoles can do.

[Noctis Aftermath]

@GVON: wow so the pc version is gonna suck, having the games control scheme tailored to a controller will make it inferior then if they done it with a keyboard/mouse.

[DaTruth]

Scratch off another future title that was suppose to show up PS3 exclusives and show "TEH POWER" of the 360!

Next up, Alan Wake!

[morganfell]

I really liked the magical class switching stations located everywhere...not.

Seriously, is it so difficult to come up with a mechanic for class switching that you have to resort to that? Who installed the stations, an alien race? old school soul jumping owns that technique by a mile.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

only reason they probably use a 360 controller because when presenting it would look funny sitting down with mouse and keyboard then out in the open standing up with 360 controller

[Ju]

@morganfell I loled at that. And they have limitless supplies of weapons of all kind. Need a grenade launcher ? There you go. An MG ? Sure thing, we got it. LOL.

[beardpapa]

Sarcasm makes a good point.

[SoX FireBlade]

I Think this is the wrong to show a game.

I know pc games look better but the majority will buy it on consoles. so they should show a console version

but still we haven't seen the console version yet. let's hope it won't be like quake wars

[solidt12]

I knew it was from the PC the whole time. And it was never a Killzone 2 killer. Killzone has way more going on ingame than Brink, even the PC version. The PC verion has more detailed Characters and that's it. Killzone 2 created real environments on a console game(real wind, dust, particles ect.)

[Xgamerzus]

Money and talent and resources is what this is really about!
True that NO way they could pull off a cross platform game that can rival the graphics of KZ2 No way!!!

Even with the Ninja theory guy in charge, they would need tons of resources to make the PS3 shine! im sure as usual the PC version is where the bread and butter is the sheer amount of RAM and horse power of the next Gen PC cards !!!!

[tordavis]

@ultimolu - HHG saw the game being played in HD. It IS in fact technically better looking than KZ2 but again, that's an experienced opinion. Your opinion is based off of a video clip on the internet.

[PtRoLLFacE]

umm that's kinda of weird, the latest vids i seen they show an X button smashing sequence it looks very similar if not the same the 360 controller, but if they say is not then is not

[Darkeyes]

Read the article....

"Yeah, that’s footage from the PC, played with a 360 controller (exactly like E3, PAX, etc.) It’s literally the exact same demo, running on the same PC."

[Sarcasm]

"umm that's kinda of weird, the latest vids i seen they show an X button smashing sequence it looks very similar if not the same the 360 controller, but if they say is not then is not"

Confusing isn't it? That's why when you see footage of a PS3 exclusive and you see the face buttons, you know it's a true exclusive.

[tdrules]

good luck expecting an identical port on PS3 by a PC developer, Brink is their first PS3 game, and the PC architecture is a lot more simple and logical to use (:

[snipermk0]

I wish you an even better luck getting good graphics on the 360, given its diminishing graphical capabilities.

[Fishy Fingers]

Like the article (or even the above caption) states, they've brought in staff from Ninja Theory to help with the PS3. Heavenly Sword was a great looking game that released very early in the PS3 cycle, so I shouldnt worry.

[randomwiz]

you're right, they are pc developers, which is why they hired pretty well known ps3 developers to work on the ps3 version

[nycredude]

Crap if Heavenly Sword is any indication I wouldn't be surprised if this game looked better on the Ps3.

[Sevir04]

lead art and graphics designer from KZ2 and the lead Technology designer from Heavenly Sword... and to this day. HS still looks better than most of the games coming out right now. only PS3 exclsuives and some high end XBOX game like Gears topple it... Sooo its safe to say that this game will look amazing on the PS3, the PC version will look the best i imaging but ha, i cant say the same thing confidently about the 360.

Now lets spin this article shall we, Brink Right now is on PC so obviously the other version arent up to par yet. and the same thing can be said about the Rage.. so, till we have actually PS3 and XBOX 360 footage.. the Brink on 360 vs KZ2 fiasco has been rendered as Fail by this article.. guess you 360 fans gotta wait for Lost Planet 2 to make any real jump in graphics.

[tdrules]

to all the disagreers i couldnt give a damn whether the ps3 looks better than the 360 version.
but its good to hear theyve hired decent ps3 devs, Ninja Theory and Guerilla rawk

[Lucreto]

I hope the game turns out well on the PS3.

@Sevir04
When does your NDA for Resistance 3 run out. Will it be in time for the VGA or next year?

[danthegardner]

I believe Sevir04 said the NDA was up in 2 weeks a week ago. So it could be at the VGA's.

[Ju]

Well, we'll hope those VGA announcement will reveal some more surprises. R3 and KZ3 announcements are kind of overdue (and they'll come, that's for sure. When is another question 2010/11??).

[DaTruth]

I'm looking at it now in my collection of games, but last time I played it, it was looking seriously dated. I guess it's the art style(like Ico and TLG) that makes it look that way, but it doesn't really compare to titles of today and slightly betters GTA4 graphics!

Come to think about it, that is pretty much what you said in your post!

[Hanif-876]

Running on a PC and Brink still can't even match Killzone 2...i told you so Hiphopgamer!

[nycredude]

I think I would still pick Killzone 2 over the pc build. In order to really appreciate just how good the graphics are in Killzone 2, go play Battlefield BC, COD MW1 and 2, COD WAW, Pretty much any shooter not named Uncharted 2 and then go play Killzone 2 immediately afterwards.

[talltony]

It still does not match the graphical fidelity of killzone 2 though it does show some similarities to it. Lol at all the xbox fanboys bragging about this being the 360 version though. Ha

[ajkla92]

Comfirmed: 360 version of Brink will be inferior.

[Shaka2K6]

.

[zane547]

don't mean much if the gameplay is bland. Brink looked pretty bland to me for gameplay, was just another FPS, I'm waiting to see what sets it apart from every other shooter out there.

Killzone 2 wasn't exactly unique, but it's dark art style was appealing.

[Ju]

Quite some things, me thinks.

- 8 player co-op campaign with classes (on and offline) if I hear that right
- Mirrors Edge movement in first person
- And still, it looks KZ2 to me (levels are so obvious - well, that's nothing special, so to speak)
- XP in the campaign like online in others only

Even if some of those things are not new, nothing like this has yet been done in a campaign, none the less all those things in a campaign.

The last two make it a hybrid of KZ2 and CoD, IMO.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

But it'z teh 360 buildz...

Shut it bots!

[Neo604]

Brink suppose to be the one.
Halo reach better be cause it's the flagship.

[HungPHAT]

It just feel off my radar

[OrganicMachine]

after reading that... think about it:

1. PC build of games + 360 controller = MOst PC/360 exclusive demos ?

so when I see a 360 game that is also on a PC, I expect it to be PC build with 360 controller being use, so that Alan Wake demos that they showed us a while back when they said it was a PC/360 game, I bet it was the PC build with the 360 controller. Mass effect, L4D1 and 2, etc, etc, etc,..

[tdrules]

seeing as 360 controller support on PC games are very low natively

[Myth-Psn]

It actually was, at least the one that i seen was confirmed to be PC with a 360 conroller being used to demo it... There may be a more recent video using actuall xbox footage though,

[Ju]

"seeing as 360 controller support on PC games are very low natively"

What are you talking about ? I bought a 360 controller just for that purpose because I can guarantee that most games map the buttons right. Pretty much all latest games support the 360 controller, heck Windows even installs it as a "360 controller", for Windows Live it works exactly the same as live for the 360.

[DaTruth]

They did it with LP2 too! They start hyping these games up as the second coming for the 360 after viewing PC footage. Then when the final product is released or a demo is produced, it is always underwhelming and they latch onto one pixel difference comparisons of the highly compressed(something the 360 is built for) demo!

These guys have a list of future titles they are certain will prove the graphical equalness of the 360; Like Lost Planet 2 did LOL!

[raztad]

Lost Planet 2 visuals are very underwhelming (at least what I saw in the demo). I really was excited about them but then a huge disappointment.

[Why o why]

until they sniff something may be able to surpass a ps3 exclusive then they come out of the woodwork like those little bugs things from ratchet and clank that love to eat you and the goo. Killzone 2 is still a beast so as they say in these parts.......next fish on the dish :)

[shutupandplay]

I don`t care what the footage has been on, I have no plans on buying it.

[thebudgetgamer]

ive seen people complaining about it being to much like boardelands and fallout.
i dont know, looks pretty good. i guess ill wait and see.

[nskinnear]

I'm sure the graphics will still be fine on consoles. The game doesn't have to surpass Killzone 2. The only thing I care about is whether or not it runs smoothly (on consoles I mean).

[Myth-Psn]

http://n4g.com/NewsCom-4392... I already stated this yesterday, I mean come on, it was fairly obvious... My comments there still stand. I think the HHG is sticking to his usual ways of spicing up his show, Not so much his rep. ;), Though I do enjoy his shows, and dont want to see them end :)

[ef-u-2]

whew looks like they were a little worried it cant be lets hope not not the 360 noooooooooooooooooooo =P

[DecoyOctopus]

i was right all along, the AA and other stuff will probably be worse on the console version

[Saaking]

lmfao at the bots saying it was the 360 version and the KZ2 "killer." What are you gonna say now bots? hahahahaahahhaha!!!

[Simon_Brezhnev]

lol the fanboys are M.I.A.

[Henry Cain]

To be honest I don't like the way the characters look. They look like hybrids or something.

[Ps_alm3k]

well....Killzone who?????
Pc build!?...LOL

[Bumpmapping]

Imagine what the console version are gonna look like LOL!

[lucifon]

When I saw the game demonstrated Paul specifically stated it was the 360 version... Not just that it was on a 360 controller. Very odd bit of miscommunication. Either way, game looks fantastic!

[sephy 9 2 5]

I'm not sure what people are seeing that's so technically impressive and that's why I believe the devs when they say the 360 version looks the same. A real PC build would smash KZ2. Those G4 vids don't even match it IMO.

Those Cryengine 3 demos looks world beyond this.

[wwm0nkey]

Gameplay>>>>graphi cs

Honestly I dont care if the game isnt running at 1080p with 60fps and 16x Anti Aliasing, doesnt mean it makes the game better, I honestly HATED Killzone 2 because I personally felt the controls felt too heavy and delayed, they later fixed that with a patch which I was very happy about, but I dont play KZ2 anymore because its just bland and boring now, it was great for the first month or two but nothing great, now UC2 is a great game but again it could have mediocre graphics but I would still love it because the gameplay. Honestly some PS3 fans will bash anything but I can not blame them because there are 360 fanboys that try to get too them, its a never ending cycle of idiots fighting.

Gamers>>>>>fan boys

[zane547]

But most I know that thought that blamed it looking dark. But that is KZ2's art style really. The levels did get kinda samey after a bit though.

As for Brink, we'll see. I have hopes for the game but atm I'm not seeing the innovation.

[wwm0nkey]

It just didnt grab me really, its not a bad game though I just personally got bored with it. Again though that is me personally

[maxcer]

i gotta agree with you about KZ2, I just didn't enjoy it as much as gears1 or MW. graphics aren't everything

[Myth-Psn]

You have seen the gameplay videos right?Yeah, the ps3 users didn't start this "argument" about the graphics, the HHG did. Btw, I agree, gameplay does matter more than graphics, but the game looks slow and boring, not to say that can't change in the 10 months development thats left for this game... I hope it does because it just falls short, at least in my opinion, of a decent gameplay speed.

[DaTruth]

360 fanboys had this on their list of future titles that would demolish the PS3 long before Flip Flop Flamer started his nonsense!

I can't wait for next year when they have a whole new list of future titles that will demolish the PS3 feeling no ways about the last ten utter failures from this years list!

[Ninjamonkey82]

lOve seeing the console nubs scrab among each other lol. :D

[Spike47]

Nice try though.

[NotSoSilentBob]

Now we are gonna have to listen to HHguesser claim something else will surpass KZ2 for consoles. I said it in the other article that it was more then likely a PC build then the 360 build.

[i3eyond the Circle]

Several people that have saw the game behind doors stated that the "Xbox360 gameplay" stated by the developer was being played.

I have no worries but I bet the suspense is just killing some individuals.

[Myth-Psn]

List the "several people", And please, make at least 2 of them come from a reputable source, It would be entertaining to hear :)

[DaTruth]

My friend's, brother's, cousin and my sister's, friend's, grandmother stated specifically that they saw the 360 version in action behind closed doors!

Need I say more???

[i3eyond the Circle]

Just got back home and wow.

Did you guys listen to any E3 09' podcasts?

And since you're being such d1cks go find them and listen to them yourselves.

[tordavis]

I said it was PC but someone told me the new video was 360. Whatever.

[Lifendz]

Tor Davis of that most biased of sites said it was 360. This is the same guy who said that Metal Gear Solid Rising was exclusive to 360 during E3. Reputable? You decide.

[grantps3]

i dont think ill get this game, but it does look good graphicly. just not a killzone 2's level

[timestoby]

whos the lame asses that believed it was from a console,as if. although i did think it lookt like killzone lol

[NotSoSilentBob]

Talk to my thug himself HipHopGuesser

[Iceman100]

obviously like a console can do anything, and nobody cares about a noname game like killzone ps2 proved that.

[BX81]

I confused as to why people are making a big deal about KZ2 when compared to this game. Who cares? KZ2 is KZ2 and Brink is Brink! Every hater is so focussed on saying the game they have for a specific console is better looking than the other. Be a gamer not a hater. If you really want to cry about the 360 and PS3 a high end PC will smoke both in the graphics dept. If you want to focus on graphics that's cool but stop comparing games that have nothing to do with each other. So let's cancel KZ2 because U2 looks better? There has got to be some young a$$ kids on this site.

[DaTruth]

PS3 owners have no problem admitting that PC's can blow away PS3 and it is clear and obvious. It is the 360 fanboys/owners who keep throwing PC games against PS3 claiming them to be 360 games capable of destroying KZ2 and pitting them as the reason 360 is graphically equal to PS3.

I don't know what's wrong with them myself!

[BX81]

Both parties do it! It's funny to hear PS3 fanboys claim that a game is garbage just because it doesn't look like KZ2. What they're saying is that the PS3 had garbage games until KZ2 came out. The same thing with 360 fanboys when Gears 2 came out. It's like they forgot they had fun with games on the earlier consoles. As for the Brink footage.. I thought the game looked like fun. I like the whole concept that they are working with. 2010 is going to be a great year for owners of both consoles. I have a feeling that the individuals who only have a PS3 or a 360 are going to be enticed by the console they don't own. I know I would be with games like Heavy Rain, Splinter Cell, GOWIII, and Halo Reach. Just to name a couple.

[Ju]

^^ I didn't really see a lot of PS3 fans saying Brink is garbage. Most said it doesn't match KZ2 (and in a lot of things it still doesn't). It looks fantastic, though. Gameplay wise its something fresh. It has some KZ2 written over it (at least that my impression from the level design and environment layout). I think it'll be a great game. I hope they'll come close to KZ2 - I would like to see each console be pushed to the limits. Maybe we're getting a real benchmark for a change (doubt it, though).

[Barragan]

let alone that has no known limit, get out

[Arnon]

The PS3 only has 512 MB of RAM. That's enough to tell us that it has a limit.

[BX81]

@Ju. Yes you didn't see "that many". My point is you still saw them. Just like when you look at U2 articles on this site. My point was that both sides like to bicker about the whole graphics set up. I agree with the games level design looking strongly like KZ2's. I think the design of the levels will be better due to the ME movements. Being able to slide and get up into things in a hurry is great addition to the game type. I just hope it doesn't disappoint me.

[DaTruth]

The game might be nice and please let it be amazing so I can play it! But the article is not about how good the gameplay is or the story or anything else; It is about the graphics not being 360 graphics, but PC graphics. Since this was the basis for a lot of articles and fanboy rebuttals, which is essentially the point of the article; Most of our comments are based on that!

We will save the Brink gameplay and substance debate for the Brink gameplay and substance article... which will probably not make it to 100 degrees and most of us will never know it exists!

[Ju]

The only thing that worries me about the ME-type movement is that I am still somewhat confused with the control scheme they used in ME. That worked well for Mirrors Edge, but how does this translate to an FPS ? Standard FPS controls but then tacked on ME buttons ? Or a complete new controller layout ?

[iceman06]

The first video that didn't have any shooting (on g4 and gametrailers) shows a bit of how the SMART system works. It seems to be somewhat contextual look and press. For example, look down and slide under...or look up and climb over or onto. Should be interesting when it finally releases.

[chidori666]

kz2 still best graphic and engine phisics period.

see this pics and compare:

http://i617.photobucket.com...

http://i617.photobucket.com...

swallow his words hihop trash game!

[NecrumSlavery]

Man Killzone 2 is so beautiful. I want Killzone 3. That right there just may be the be all end all of shooters. I foresee Killzone 3 having everything anyone could want in a game and it will be dominate.

Looking back at KZ2, I forgot this article was about....what again? Oh Brink.
Looks like a two year old Killzone beta with a cartoony polish and mirrors edge controls.

[BYE]

Graphics are not the games' strength if it can't even beat PS3 games as a PC game.

[spunnups]

LOL @ HHG claiming otherwise. No surprise there though.

[jalen247]

The fact that the footage of Brink that we have seen is from the PC build and it still didn't look better than Killzone 2, is a testament to the graphical and technical beast that Killzone 2 is. I can't wait for Killzone 3. :) Well there is always Halo Reach for the 360 owners. Maybe that game will come close to Killzone 2?...I think not but we'll find out Saturday...

[firetaw]

i speculated as much my self. seing first that it was posted for PC platform first. and the fact that games like gears of war will utilize the 360 controller on the pc making it the gameplay similar to the console but with uped graphics. maybe some people forgot about that little detail.

but it was posted as PC platform. i dont know how they imagined it was 360 gameplay. althoug i can see how it can be misleading watching the video. thats why additional information is added bellow.

[Barragan]

killzone 2 is cgi ingame and no pc game is at cgi level, so how do they really believe that pc is gonna blow ps3 away, maybe just maybe if this was a photorealism game it would be possible, but a multiplatform game let alone something aiming for killzone 2 level visuals get out, ps3 is the only platform that is capable of doing e3 2005 quality trailer visuals in realtime, pc kicks rocks when trying to touch anything near that in visuals, ps3 is long from even coming close to showing all it can do pc is a nobody next to ps3

[GamerPS360]

you must have integrated graphic card for your PC.

[Arnon]

He's either:

A. About 12 or 13 years old.

B. A delusional troll.

[DaTruth]

He's saying PC can do it if it is a PC exclusive game, but if it is a multiplatform game, it will just be a dumbed down console game with 16x anti-aliasing!

It could be put to a thorough debate. Often, I feel this is the Achilles heel of PC gaming!

@GamerPS360: Those games you listed all have terrible character models, bad character animations, gameplay problems and lighting engines(especially Farcry 2) that can't match Killzone 2's that are filtered through all versions of the game. The resolution is the only real difference in those games, which means Killzone 2 owns them in many categories!

[led1090]

A multiplatform game on PC cant beat a PS3 exclusive BECAUSE the devs develop the graphics such that they can get the most out of the console and then max out the same effects on the pc buy upping the ante in terms of resolution. If you pit a PC exclusive like crysis for example then there is no competition. That game kills KZ2. Mebbe not UC2 but then it was developed 3 years back which says a lot about how much the pc is ahead in the graphics department. Its the same as when DOOM 3, HL2 and FAR CRY came out. Also FEAR. That game had the best graphics for its time. And dont get me wrong i do not intend to bash console graphics. Just that the pc is an open system so theres no limit for the developers to work on and hence they can fully express themselves.

[GamerPS360]

are you serious ??
Play far cry 2, fallout 3, bioshock and many others but far cry 2 and fallout 3 rapes killzone2 graphic on pc.

BTW I like killzone2 because of physics, lightning, animation and AI before graphic.

[Ju]

FarCry 2 on a PC doesn't really look any different than on the PS3 (well, yeah, higher res and maybe longer draw distance). But it certainly can't compete with any of the post processing effects and particles of KZ2 (nor with the intensity of it's multiplayer - 32 players throwing grenades at a pillar at Radec Academy for example - at once).

[raztad]

Well I disagree to certain extent.

I have maxed out Bioshock and Fallout 3 on PC and they dont look as good as KZ2, and Fallout is guilty of having one of the worst animation systems I have seen in my life. That totally destroyed the immersion for me.

I can see from your post that graphics = textures for you, right? because for me is the whole package: lighting (essential in a good looking game), animations, particle effects (physics), textures.

[terrandragon]

Can't really compare the two since Brink is not even close to being finished. Anyone else notice the Fall 2010 release date?

[bujasem_89]

''but kill zone 2 has no bright colors this is so color full''

an actual argument from a 360 fanoy , what are u 8 ???? GTFO!!!

[ironmonkey]

ah ha so what i said was right there was not enough evidence to prove it was gameplay from 360. hip hop gamer claiming it was on 360. dog you need better proof! before saying it, speculate but dont give facts that aren't true wait for the dev's to announce the real deal

[Jsynn7]

I've just watched the Brink trailers and I think they looks awesome. Very well done. As for it looking better than KZ2, absolutely not. If anything, Brink is on par with KZ2 graphics.

Some of you are saying that Brink looks better than KZ2 because it's brighter. I'll assume that those who said that (including HHG) haven't played KZ2 or know about the theme of the game so I'll explain. In KZ2 your character is sent to a war torn, inhospitable planet. Now, when you here those words "war torn" and "inhospitable" the picture that pops in your minds is a world of beautiful green meadows and sapphire blue skies. This place is dark, chaotic, and dreary so, if you were hoping to to tiptoe through the tulips, then this game is not for you (may I suggest flOwer?) KZ2 is supposed to be dark and that why it looks the way it does and, really, there are areas that are areas and environments that are well lit. If GG wanted to make a game where everything was bright and shiny then I'm sure they would've but, in this case, it would be inappropriate.

I don't know what the flipfloplamer saw but, if it's the same trailers everyone here saw, then I think he's full of sh!t. Once again, he has succeeded in starting a flame war (good job, man!) He says Brink "surpasses" KZ2. I don't think he knows what that word means so, if your read this HHG here's a link to the meaning of the word:

http://dictionary.reference...

When some uses the word "surpass", to me, that means something totally trumps the thing it's being compared to. To say that Brinks graphics goes beyond KZ2 is outrageous. The only gripe I have with Brink is the character models. Honestly, the looks like Team Fortress characters using the KZ2 engine. They look sorta cartoony. Other than that, it stand side by side with KZ2. If your going to judge KZ2 because it doesn't have purty colors, why not just wait until GG comes out with a game whose theme deals in colorful, pretty things.

Brink looks amazing and I'm looking forward to seeing what this game can really do. I like the SMART system a lot. That should be fun to use. I am definitely looking forward to the day ANY game "surpasses" KZ2 graphics but it isn't today. They are on the same level and it's pretty obivious if you've watch the trailers on it. People like the flipfloplamer are just looking to start crap and that's just sad. We'll see how this game turns out in the near future.

Maybe by the time it comes out they will hand it over to sony to fix, or if it was made on the PS3 it would look alot better. PS3=Greatness, and everyone else is just playing catch up.
Hopefully when this game comes out Fall 10 that it looks better, because the concept seems pretty sweet.

360 will hold this game back....with its limited space/graphics..

Why cant games look as gud as it does on the ps3?

Game looks great imo, but better than killzone? nah about the same nothing spectacular but nice and crisp

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

but I was impressed with the intuative gameplay, was pretty damn neat!

for all the Killzone 2 fanboys, you guys need to relax. Brink looks like a bigger breath of fresh air than Killzone 2 is. Killzone 2 has great graphics sure... if Im not counting my personal fav. PS3 franchise (Uncharted 1 and 2), but Killzone 2 STILL isn't to me what I was led to believe it would be. The amazing graphics didn't feel matched with gameplay sadly.

My 4 most fav. games this gen have been = Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Gears, Gears 2!

[bigrudowsky]

haha those are my fave franchises this gen as well.
