Would be a shame if SD had to shut down,they seem to be on thin ice at the moment and if brink doesn't prevail then my fav company is doomed.

http://www.vgchartz.com/preorders.php would like to have a word with you.

Thank tapirs for that,I though it was going to sell as much as ET:QW!

Splash Damage isn't exactly mainstream. They just don't have the kind of money to dish out massive amounts of propaganda-like advertisemants like EA and Activision can.

Yes, and mind you that is just in America. It also does not seem like Steam Preorders are counted, and I'm sure there will be a fairly hefty amount, seeing as 'PC' and 'Splash Damage' happen to be very close friends.

Edit2: So, that is $12,799,800 minus whatever else comes out of it, not taking into account the PC crowd.

My one issue is the rumour i heard that it's invite only...

From what ive seen of most videos, It looks fine to me. Most new games take a few losses to get used to them anyway.
Exspecially shooters because your almost always used to another style of shooter.

But who knows in the end. SD could be making their videos from pervious builds of the game.

I think it will come down to the ... 'wait and see'

What? If you mean multiplayer games on console there's a thread which solidly consigned that rumour to the tomb. It is not invite only.

It's true that there hasn't been much advertising .I'm not sure why Bethesda hasn't advertised brink on the telly or in cinemas

Gears doesn't really deserve the top place for pre-orders, they boosted them with the beta.

I saw it advertised in the cinema, looks awesome on big screen.

Now.
Brink looks like an amazing game but some magazines are being negative about it.Let me show you (Cut from a mag):
"Worryingly,however,for all its good ideas,Brink isn't firing on all cylinders.This month's hands-on session was PS3 code only,and if it's an indicator on how the game is going to run on xbox360, it's neither as smooth nor good looking as the videos suggest.
What's more Brink BOMBARDS you with info from the start,making the first few games a lesson in losing rather then fun"

Another paragraph says that "If Brink doesn't sell well things could get very tricky for SD"
To be honest I'm a bit worried for Brink,What happens if it isn't as good as we thought it would be?And if it doesn't sell well,will SD have to shut down?(Hope not!)
Any ideas,opinions?

----------------------------
I'm not hating on the game,I love it no matter what.I just hope SD doesn't get shut down because of it.

ARE YOU READY TO USE THESE, BROTHERS?

I AM READY.



THEN LETS BRINK THIS.

Do you happen to have a link to this review? Because I have found that taking a few lines from an article can completely change what an article is saying. It's really nice to read things in context to get the whole picture.

I got it from the xbox world magazine so I can't give links,they gave brink a 3 out of 5

OK, thanks. That isn't a bad score by any means. What did they have to say that was positive?

I guess I won't know what I think until after I play the game, and I will be playing this game to see for myself.

I will tell you the flaws once I play the game and not before. :spotted owl:

I try not to read reviews, because is someone else's opinion and everyone else is always wrong (its a opinion you can't be right with one). Anyway thats what i have to say on the matter, and why oh why were 360 magazine playng on the PS3 version?
