Brinks Lasting Appeal : Othor Games

» Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:26 am

Do you guys think brink will have a lasting appeal if it will why if not why would it not have a lasting appeal

I honestly think this game (At least for the PC) has a shot at becoming the best game on the market until the new Battlefield game releases later in the year... and as a teamwork orientated game it will likely even do very well after BF3 is released because of the smaller team sizes making it the perfect clan warfare game.

i think so. it depends on the person. some people are followers that do what everyone else is playing. me, i like games that are original and u feel like the game is about you. i think that aspect is a major part or brink staying around for awhile

I'm on PS3 and I think Brink will last pretty solidly on consoles too.

Will probably maintain a solid player base for a long time.

One the few benefits of no dedicated servers on consoles is that the game can live on as long as the current generation of consoles continues. I am really looking forward to BF3, but I think the two games will scratch two different "itches" (as it were) and I can imagine playing Brink alongside BF3 long into the future.

I think Brink is going to have a really strong fan base. There should be a relatively large and dedicated group playing Brink for a long time. Maybe they'll even make a sequel if things go well. It's a unique game, so here's to hoping that it'll make a name for itself. The only thing they could do to screw this up at this point is to have $15 day 1 DLC.

If it's anywhere as good as TF2 then it should definitely have some lasting appeal. I know some pretty big PC gamers who still play that competitively.

This a completely different game,Battlefield,s main focus is graphics,Bribk's focus is team/gameplay,no comparison for me between them.
Brink will last for the ones that play to enjoy the game,not afraid to lose and learn from it.

It'e like NBA m8,for the love of the game

If the game doesn't have a lasting appeal, I'LL MAKE IT HAVE A LASTING APPEAL :flame:

I can't see it fizzling out any time soon.

Yeah, if these forums are anything to go by, it'll be about for a long time

BF3's SP campaign will be short (from what the developers have said) and (from what we've seen from the trailers) a scripted, linear affair. The makers of Brink, OTOH, have tried to ensure that bot play will be dynamic and different each time you play.

So Brink will have ipso facto a longer-lasting appeal than BF3.

(Wait, people actually prefer to play online! As in, without bots?! :blink:

Well, I'm just not one of them - I've been playing SP for years and, besides, all you need to do is look at my Black Ops, BC2, or Crysis 2 k/d ratio to acknoledge my MP online svckitude...)

Still, Brink has enough uniqueness to at least form a lasting niche.

Who buys a Battlefield game for the singleplayer? Multiplayer, big open maps, vehicles, destruction, class-based/squad-based team and objective-based gameplay, That is why you should buy a Battlefield game.

Brink is even more objective-oriented, more teamplay oriented, with not only class-based gameplay but also *size-based* gamplay. And parkour. With great customization and RPG elements. It has a lot to offer.

Pretty sure consoles will be using dedicated servers too.

Pretty sure consoles will be using dedicated servers too.

Read the FAQ, consoles are P2P which is [censored]. PC is the only version getting dedicated servers.

Nope.

I know a lot of you are going to disagree with me but the fact that the game only has one game mode is really going to hurt it.

maybe it wont BF had 1 game mode back in the day and it worked fine! Gears 1 had its unique no re spawn style and it worked.... all games have something unique about it and hopefully brink can pull it off.

No re-spawn isn't unique to gears... that started back in SOCOM / CS

Not a single game out there ever dies completely. The number of players decline, but thats normal. Brink will have a super strong player base for a very very long time. I'm planning on supporting both Brink and BF3 as much as I can. I really dont have my eyes on any other games.

These forums are under-populated.
I don't see them being indicative of a large player base, but I do think this game will do well, and have a lot of players. I sincerely hope it lives up to everything I thought it would be and more, and snowball into a huge FPS title in the genre. This game focuses more on tactics, fun, and a diverse point system. No other game really does this, so a huge chunk of people are going to 'discover' their new favorite way to play FPS'.

Sums it up pretty well for me. Battlefield is a more serious take on warfare, it satisfies that realism itch, but if Brink is a fun to play as it looks it will satisfy that simple honest to goodness fun itch that seems to be missing from so many games.

Forums are never the major playerbase of a game

Look at TF2 for example, sure there are many posters in the TF2 forum, but the players who actually play the game by far excede in numbers, and I do think it's like that with every game that has a forum
