sry folks, its in german. But perhaps, someone will translate it :hubbahubba: lol
for germans: have fun

I google translate the page and this is what I found interesting,

Accordingly, a demo version will be available. Idk if google translate is wrong, usually is, or I interpreted the sentence wrong.

Could someone explain to me what this means? I never played ET so I am quite confused, any clarification would be much appreciated. Via google translate:

"We had no desire to Engi-Nades like ET!"-Steve Hessel

so its all about this pre release event and this guys impresions on the game.
first i should say that it was on the Xbox. movement and combinations of smart seem great to look at and do yourself (fluid). shooting however whilst moving is a bit harder at first. and the battles can be very hectic at times. his example was a situation where three guys ganged up on him for three different locations on coming over a wall to his left another from the right and the last one sliding under some barrels. maps are well designed for smart use. jumps apparently feel a littel to low unless u do a wall hop with the light. the heavy feels like a mobile MG nest and shouldnt just jump into battle unless backed up by a medic. wich in turn makes him much harder to take down( we knew that). the team play is very rewarding experiencebut the op is worryed that ppl will not use the objectiv wheel enough and miss out on great missions by just doing there own thing.
thats pretty much a basic run down without the hole explanation about the event location and stuff.

can i have a turtle now?

I had google chrome translate it for me and it says the same thing... "Accordingly, a demo version will be available"
I wonder when they will release it.

lol google no demo version, there definitly won't be a demo version. It was meant that spectator mode is possible in PC version (free fly), and so i think that there will - logically - even be a possibility to record a demo.

According PhaYze9 with the Question about the nades:
it was meant that in ET, the nades made a huger damage than now in Brink. In Brink, we have to throw the nade exactly to wound him seriously. In ET you could throw it just anywhere in the direction of the enemy.

nice find, lot of information

Thank you for the clarification.

The quote from Steve says there is a spectator mode.

The statement below that says "corresponding there will be a demo (recorder) version". I doubt they would say that without asking.

Also one of the ESL people gave a personal review which I have translated http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1185265-brink-game-event-frankfurt-germany and he says the same.


"Die schweren Waffen als Heavy hatten eine gleichbleibende Streuung."
'The heavy weapons for the Heavy had the same spread [while moving, walking or crouching].'

This is very interesting.


"Man wird s?mtliche Perks sperren k?nnen. Das heisst, man kann Spieler alle auf das Ausgangslevel setzen oder sich auf bestimmte R?nge einigen."
'You can disable all abilities. That means, all players can be set on the basic level or you can agree on certain ranks.'

Also a good thing, I guess. If there is no nonsense in public play, where 'Downed Fire' and 'Cortex Bomb' are disabled because Last Stand/Second Chance and Martyrdom in Call of Duty are "whaaa whaaa whaaaa!!!!"


"Auf die Frage zu SDK oder Promod hin konnte Steve Hessel keine definitive Aussage machen. Er meinte aber, dass man erst einmal wolle, dass Brink so gespielt wird, wie es erscheinen wird."
'On the question if there would a SDK or Promod, Steve couldn't make any definite statement. However he said, that the developer wants people to play BRINK as it is first.'[/i]

Definately not a 'No' for any SDK.

i think it means in Brink they didnt want the engi to have 8 grenades like in ET. In ET if you had all upgrades and equipped the grenade launcher it gave you a total of 17 grenades!! haha. they want to move away from that sort of spamathon.

Someone actually translated this on the Splash Damage Forums, so instead of giving you a wall of text I'm going to give you the link to the post that did it.
