Eurogamer: Brink PS3 Hands On

Eurogamer: "We've already poured over the character customisation suite, which allows you to build a fighter in the authoritarian Security forces, or in the trampy Resistance, with their discarded car number plates and tyre cuttings for shoulder pads, bin liners for sleeves and toxic war paint. We've also been told about the objective wheel, your constant guide to what's next, and Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain (SMART), the brilliantly-monikered vaulting and climbing aid.

But up to now we haven't had a chance to put its ambitious designs to the test. Interestingly, when we do it's on a PlayStation 3 - Splash Damage apparently keen to demonstrate that it's not only taking on some of the biggest challenges in the genre, but that it's not scared of doing so on famously challenging hardware either. The game's also due out for PC and Xbox 360, supported by the usual pre-release claims that each version will be largely identical to the next."

I have a feeling brink is going to be awesome Can't Wait

[ForceCSW]

Like some sort of cross between Team Fortress and Mirrors Edge perhaps? Although I'm a little concerned about the multi/single-player experience, I feel it may lead to a disjointed narrative...I really like what hear about the gameplay though.

:D

You can download a brink ps3 walkthrough off the ps store. Check out what it looks like in HD.

[HolyOrangeCows]

It's definitely sounding good.

"supported by the usual pre-release claims that each version will be largely identical to the next"
Hopefully they make a great PS3 version.
They don't really mention the Ps3 version's graphics. Probably a good sign from Eurogamer; if the Ps3 version weren't as good as the 360 version, they would be bombing on it.

last video I saw was awesomly sleepy. Everything was so slow it was almost a pain to watch.

Don't misunderstand me, I love the concept, the art direction, the graphics, but the move was wayyy to slow.

They need to make it more fast, a little bit like TF2 to make it exciting

[StanLee]

I agree that gameplay videos coming out of E3 were a bit pedestrian but I still have high hopes for the title. I just hope it's not another APB, where we've waited so long for a game and in the end it's underwhelming.

[OneSneakyMofo]

It's Brink for PS3. *expects negative comments when reading Eurogamer*

Edit: Welp, nothing but praise from Eurogamer. I can't wait for this game. Playing against other humans to try and beat the Single Player campaign? Sold.

[trounbyfire]

wait what happened LOL @ those people

[Chubear]

they've now turned to Rage as the new last great hope. I count 5 multiplat games now that were all supposed to show the 360 can outpace the PS3 and still trying to match, an essetially, 2008 game in Killzone2.

Who wants to guess what's next after RAGE?

Sad how they look for salvation from multiplat games and show no shame like they're Demon Souls/Halo3 comparisons. One a multimillion seller with prequels and massives resources over a new low budget IP that still looks better on an HDtv than Halo3 but ofcourse they prefer to use lame assed screen shots - no shame, that should be they;re new motto

[Fireseed]

Brinks seems like the game Shadowrun should have been. Even though I still love Shadowrun :D

[XIIIWARRIOR41]

They need to make this 3rd person shooter or at least have the option. Or else, I'll pass!

[Red-Dead-Roar]

yeah, we sure need another 3ps........ /s

[kneon]

This game hasn't interested me up until now, I really hate the art style and the game play doesn't seem like it's for me. but this statement is interesting

"it throws out the distinction between online and offline play by optionally populating campaign missions with human comrades and adversaries"

As far as I know that's never been done before, it could make the campaign much more varied and interesting.

[HaVoK308]

Brink is trying to do something different and Gamers should appreciate that. I would hope Gamers go into this game with an open mind and attempt to appreciate it for what it is...not for what its not. At the very least they should play it. If Gamers fail to support the things they scream for constantly we will continue to see cookie-cutter shooters. Brink may be excellent and it may fall short but I believe all True Gamers should give it the benefit of doubt.

[DARK WITNESS]

well said, well said.. totally agree.

[maawdawg]

Supporting innovation is a good way to see things spread onward. I really think the SMART system could be the big thing for this one that people will try to bring into their games.

[cyclindk]

slow a$$ sprint is going to piss me off..

[maawdawg]

Sprint speed depends on body type in this game, as far as what Splash Damage has said so far. The giant Heavy won't be flying around the levels like the skinny dudes, and the average body type (what everyone has seen/played so far) will be in the middle. I hope they tune it a bit faster but I don't think it is gamebreaking if they don't, especially if it would make the skinny guys too fast.

[cyclindk]

Good to know, I just can't stand slow sprinting supposed "soldiers" who get fatigued after jogging fifteen feet...
