Brink trailer showcases acrobatic, lanky dudes

Whomever compiled this Brink trailer must have enjoyed themself some Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, because we swear we've only seen dudes stylishly dodge projectiles like that in a Hideo Kojima game. But, we digress.

There are plenty of other noteworthy things, but if you're looking for actual in-game footage, you won't find it throughout the three minutes of video above. But, hey, if the CG is any indication, there will be lots of action to look forward to in Brink. That and curiously tall, acrobatic gentlemen wearing a variety of neat masks.

Another great trailer. Kinda reminds me of the first trailer for "City of Heroes." Once again, this is one of my most anticipated titles of this year. I hope it delivers.

This looks sweet as balls.

Want to drop a tank on a dude and play as black Altair.

I know it's been said... but everyone making snarky "CGI trailers are useless" comments need to go watch the gameplay trailers to see how this game actually looks and works..
And as for anyone who doubts where the roots of this game comes from, or what it's main gameplay style will be... go watch footage of Wolf:ET or ET:QW. Or better yet, go play them.
Splash damage has delivered some of the best objective-based multiplayer games in the history of PC gaming... this game will be spectacular.
And no... it's not a ripp-off of mirrors edge. Fans were disappointed about the lack of skiiing in ET:QW, so they developed smart as a new way of advanced locomotion through the game.
Personally, I'm tired of the comparisions to shadowrun and mirrors edge. Just because they look similar don't mean they play like them... or were even influenced by them.

I'll be honest, I think that this SMART acrobatic system dohickey is going to be stupidly hard to get used to once the game comes out. Personally, I reckon if we can't jump like that in real life it's going to be just as hard in video games!
