Automatic platforming. Should bloody well be standard these days; nothing more ridiculous than your badass born for combat soldier type character getting stuck on some small obstacle that any normal person would have cleared without so much as thinking about it

Art direction

Brink's gonna be awesome.

It seems a bit too automatic for how simple the locations you navigate are. Everything in that video is in Mirror's Edge, except ME requires timing and two buttons for up/down.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #3 on:** December 02, 2009, 11:36:51 AM »

Yeah, but on the other hand, Mirror's Edge can afford that extra complexity due to the relatively light combat. Brink is primarily a shooter.

Considering the nature of Brink compared to Mirror's Edge, the SMART system should be as automatic as what we've seen.

I'm curious if Brink runs on id tech 4, because the game looks really good(I'd say almost Killzone 2 level).

It's running on a modified id tech 4.

So this is TF2 x Killzone 2 x Chinatown?

The GREEN XP markings kinda take away from the KZ2 style gritty realism. Hope you can turn them off.

Oh it has a cover system too? GOTY. Bethesda better market the shit outta this game.

It's one of their biggest 2010 titles, outside of maybe New Vegas or Doom 4/Rage and none of those are looking too likely, so there's no reason why they wouldn't.

Will New Vegas even hit next year?

It's supposed to come out in June, but with Alpha Protocol getting pushed back to a spring 2010 release and the fact that there's been zero news of any kind, I just don't see it happening. Rage will probably come out late next year, but Doom 4 will probably be a 2011 title since nothing's been shown yet.

To be honest, I don't expect New Vegas to come out at all. If anything, I kinda expect Rebellion will be the ones to finish it.

Unless Alpha Protocol tanks big time and Obsidian goes bankrupt, I expect it to come out late next year.

Fallout 3 was a big success for Bethesda, so I don't see them throwing it to Rebellion to slap together and release. If things are going bad, they'll probably just can it and concentrate on a full sequel done in-house.

To me as a game director there are some things that are just alien, like PlayStation 3 technology and job systems, that I find it really difficult to get my head around. Luckily it's not my job to understand job systems: we just hire really talented people to solve it instead. We have Dean Calver who was lead programmer on Heavenly Sword as lead programmer on Brink. The art director that we hired, Olivier Leonardi, was the art director behind Prince of Persia [Two Thrones] and Rainbow Six Vegas. We got Tim Appleby back in 2007. He'd just finished Mass Effect; he was the guy who created Shepard and the aliens and stuff. He's our lead character artist...Even our level designer Neil Alphonso was the lead level designer on Killzone 2.

I wonder how much it cost them to get that talent? DeanoC (the lead programmer) on beyond3d is saying that they are using a virtual texture system that is similar to the megatexture thing that ID tech 5 and Crysis 2 do. That means that they just use one huge texture per level and stream it as necessary, which lowers the amount of RAM needed.

Hopefully that means that the dirty poor console versions can at least approach the texture definition of those screenshots.

The level designer is the lead from KZ2?

Hmmm....KZ2 level design was good outside a few spots. Interest peaked.

it's weird praise to I like the style because it is a bit off. It's just a mental thing for me but if I can create a character that looks vaguely like myself, I would go for that instead of something crazy. I like the idea of the character being more a reflection of your personality rather than your look. Modnation Racers and LBP are kinda similar.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #21 on:** March 13, 2010, 12:52:51 AM »

that looked cool but I think they're definitely exaggerating the platforming capabilities in the game. also the real game looks so good that it seems useless to make a cgi trailer. the faces probably would have been a little bit polygonal though.

Yeah, it was pretty polished from what I played of it. Some of the SMART stuff was a bit tricky, but that was more just figuring out what the system is capable of [also, I was playing with a controller and the Y axis was inverted

The problem for me was QUAKE Wars. I didn't like that at all so that made me highly skeptical for this. (even though they did Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory)

But this game looks absolutely dope and the movement thing looks killer. Every FPS game has the problems they are talking about. If this game can truly address that then they will have made a big advancement for the genre.

I think the movement thing is a pretty big deal. Honestly the rest of it sounds pretty standard for a shooter but it looks like its going to be a good game so that's enough for me. I don't quite understand how the single player works. It sounds like its a co-op game but it also sounds like people have specific roles. So I'm not really sure how that works until I see it.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #31 on:** September 02, 2010, 08:56:09 PM »

Basically what they're doing is adding in story to the multiplayer, instead of having a clear separation between multiplayer and singleplayer.

See I don't understand that though. Because when I think of a single player game I think of a 4 to 8 hour experience where you roll around via a story and do actions based on that. I fundamentally think of that as something different than multiplayer modes which are generally relatively short objective based experiences.

I get how experience earned can be transfered between a single player mode and a mp mode. I just don't quite understand how they can essentially be the same mode without it being like the old battlefield single player thing where you are just playing the multiplayer but with bots instead of humans.

It's because the multiplayer maps are objective-based and are part of an overall story involving two factions that fighting over the Ark.

It's not going to by like Mirror's Edge and feature elaborate midair jumps to disarm your enemies, if that's what you suggesting.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #41 on:** January 20, 2011, 06:19:52 PM »

It's always seemed like a pretty straight forward shooter to me from devs that have consistently made fps shooter style games of varying quality.

The gimmicks or unique hooks have seemed like the parkour movement system. The look. And the merging of single player with multiplayer (which I still don't quite understand but whatever).

No but I was assuming that taking a stealthy hand-to-hand approach was going to be a major option for the player. I thought that's why they wanted the SMART system for letting you move around the environment more fluidly.

this is just an interview with some old footage, but most of what that guy is saying, assuming it isn't a total crock, sounds great.

I played a bit more of the Crysis 2 mp last night and thought how I like the sliding and climbing, but the shooting is really rank. Brink looks like it captures a lot of the aerobic action with solid shooting and everything else. Plus you can fire from the hip without feeling like your super soldier is a stupid asshole.

Well, one thing it does differently is that it has different objectives based on which class your currently playing as.
