Brink's latest dev diary shatters genres
19
The first dev diaries for Brink explained game mechanics , but the latest one has Splash Damage engaging a more amorphous subject: the game's inability to be defined by genres. It may also be about the studio's choice to make XP persistent between single and multiplayer. Maybe.

Brink is going to be the best game. Way better than Reach, This game is actually new.

@Rocketman36 A bold but true statement. I too am tired of the same game "upgraded" over and over again. HALO,COD,GEARS,MADDEN......etc They're all the same. BRINK is bringing a fresh breath of air to the game industry and I hope it's successful.

@Rocketman36
I wouldn't say one is better than the other.
Although Brink looks very promising (I've been following it since it's reveal) we don't have enough knowledge of how well the game actually plays to make assumptions.
I would be willing to bet that both Reach and Brink will find a permanent place in my game library, unlike MW2 which I sold a few months ago.

2011 couldn't get here fast enough. I hope they have more Brink Goodies at PAX PRIME this year. :)

The customization for this game, and everything else for that matter, looks really amazing.
Will more than likely pick it up come 2011.

Definite Pre-Order for me. So many captivating games. It's like a tsunami of awesome!

Reminds me of Borderlands with the unique art style, but without the marvelous ability to become boring after a few hours! It won't be better than Reach (because they both look equally fun in different ways) but I am definitely looking forward to it. Can't wait to get a better look at PAX!

@Mazrael Borderland's is Meant to be played as a 4 player Co-Op game..
Their's nothing like getting to Crawermax defeating him and seeing a pearl weapon only for 2 people that want that weapon..
They duel over it and while their dueling another player robs the weapon XD..
It's an awesome game but it's even more awesome with friends to play it with..

This game keeps putting me in mind of Perfect Dark Zero, maybe just because of the art style. But Brink will definitely lose points for me if they don't nail the controls (aiming particularly).

This video does make the AI look pretty bad (aiming-wise)
But I couldn't be more stoked for this.

Gears 3 AND Brink around the same time? I'm in.

So excited for this game. It's going to be sweeeet. Sad they had to push it back though... But it will totally be worth the wait!

If Borderlands and Mirrors Edge had a baby...

The customization is sick. With each dev diary, I am anticipating this game more and more.

Looks like a standard FPS with other stuff thrown in. Will probably take a look but at this point it isn't inspiring me to pre-order or 1st day buy. I'll probably wait until it drops in price.
