As it is now, there just aren't enough people hyped up for Brink. I've been trying to sell it to friends, family, other message boards, etc but it still feels like nobody knows about it. I still feel like its going to be a sleeper hit, but more attention to the game can only be a good thing. So I think that instead of spamming the refresh button and looking for new vids on youtube, we try and spread the word any way possible. Troll other message boards(I was on bungie.net doing this earlier), post vids on facebook, do whatever it takes! Dont know about you guys, but I have been counting down the days till Brink for a long while now, and am itching to get my hands on it. Lets do what we can to make sure Brink has a kick ass launch!

Prophets of Brink: "You there, CoD players!"

CoD players: "Yeah?"

Prophets of Brink: "You're all slaves to statistics!"

CoD players: "OH YEAH!"

Prophets of Brink: "Stop it!"

CoD players: "Ok! Lets all go play Brink"

Everyone: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9oq_IskRIg"

I have been joining random CoD lobbies and leaving just to sen the new video to people. In a form....you could say that's trolling.

... Please, do not draw the ire of the CoD "community" and lead them here in their quest for vengeance.

H0RSE has been educating people forever and I like to think I do my own small part here and on facebook.

I shall be trying to convince TF2 clans to get on the Brink.

Can we not advertise so much to the CoD wieners as much, and instead focus on people who would enjoy the game and enhance everyone's experience rather than being you-know-what-wads? :whistling:

I think quite a lot of people actually know about BRINK by now. It's just that not so many people are very hyped and this will probably only change with good reviews.

and the reviews shall be good i mean all the reviewers so far have done nothing but praise the game. i dont see what could change in the game so drastically from what they have seen and for somoe played that could change their minds

"Uhh oh, the game has only 20 levels and they are far too easy to reach! No long-term motivation!"
"Uhh oh, the game has only 10 maps and they have set mission! No long-term motivation!"
"Uhh oh, the game looks weird and is not realistic enough!"

Especially in a proper review people find the weirdest reasons to devalue a game.

10 maps think how many cod has when they come out.. blops has 14 most of which people dont like
20 x 10 character with 4 class options= MOTIVATION
objects will be different each game depennding on what is happening around u = adaption = motivation to adapt
people look weird = unique stands out, easily identifiable as brink unlike a generic guy in a camo suit

Sell it to me.

I'm interested in it, but am unsure about purchasing it.

I have been looking for a good gameplayt vid, not a gameplay vid of parts here and there, and bits and pieces from here and there, I wanna see a match or half a match from one person playing against other people or with other people.

With Black Ops the bits and pieces montage sold me the game because I already knew it's previous games were great, sales just kept jumping, so gameplay montage + history worked well in selling the game. With Brink I'm not feeling the small clips of gameplay, it kinda seems like a trap to a game that may be a hit or miss, espescially since its multiplayer heavy. (Why make my guy look cool to show off to AI or people who dont play online)

Great post and I think something that we all need to acknowledge is how our social networks work on our friends list if your a PS3 gamer. My comment for my PSN ID? "BRINKTHEGAME.COM" Also, everyone knows that there are gamers who can simply gather the masses. I have a buddy who when he gets online, he can put a party of 6 together in a matter of moments. So lets say he gets BRINK, he basically just svcked in about 6-10 other people on my friend list because these gamers have been tribe rolling since MW1. Im not sure how many friends I can get to buy the game, but the bad news is that a decent group of guys decided to go guy Cysis 2. . .and it bombed. Then they decided on KZ3. . .and it is in the process of bombing. Its like COD/BF has become the only drug that satisfies and I am starting to rebel against it. I am all in on BRINK and I hope that I can get as many of my friends to drink the KOOL-AID as possible.

well a way that is good for people who sit on the fence about it is to get them to go to eb games and get it and they can use there return in 7 days policy if they dont like it

A word of caution!

Don't go to other forums doing what u don't want to see other ppl coming to your forum doing the same.

Respect the way u want to be respected.
Read again what trolling/spamming/flaming means pls.

Brink has all the advertisment it needs and more.Be logical.

Damn, 4 mins to get past that door. The game looks alright. Not enough to make me wanna buy it. Any other vids like that?

If I was rich I'd just buy the game without knowing anything more. But it aint so, so.. you know.



They will refund your money? Or give you the $30 credit for the $60 game u just bought?

I would do what I do and read the reviews for it before shelling out your hard earned money for something that may in fact be a crap fest.

I learned that lesson the hard way with Alpha Protocol... Of course that experience also taught me that if Obsidian does something you should wait for reviews.

Since Splash Damage has a better reputation for this kind of work but still don't just pay for what SEEMS like a good game. If you don't care about pre-order stuff, which usually I don't but some of the stuff from pre-orders is at least novel, then just wait a day and see what a reputable game review site has to say. GameInformer is who I normally use for reviews.

For Brink I have confidence that its blending of ideas and original way of using old conventions while adding in SMART will be great.

I have to admit, I'm excitedly getting hyped about Brink, but I still haven't pre-ordered, because I'm quite happy playing Team Fortress 2 at the moment (competitive, multiplayer FPS-wise) and I really need to see more gameplay too.

I don't think I would use the pre-order bits, anyway...

That's why it's a shame I didn't know that Brink was at i42 earlier, else I'd be there now as I type. Unfortunately the trains are too stupid in England for a ￡10 day pass to be worth the effort.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.

Play them.

If you think they're awesome, great. You're a new fan of Splash Damage. Brink is made by the same people. Now rewatch that video you said looks alright, from the perspective of it being a new game like the two I just listed above, and if that makes it sound awesome, buy it.

If you're still unsure, wait for reviews, or a rental copy from your local video store. That way, if it turns out not so great, you didn't waste money, but if it's amazing, you just pick it up a few days later. I see no problem with that (even if I am already enough of a fan, and confident enough to pre-order myself - you might not like SD's games as much as I have).

+1 to obliviondoll

Agreed. As this is SD's first IP I feel like they put more into this project then what they've done before and as I have played the before mentioned previous titles that they worked on and know that they are quality online shooter makers (probably not their official title) I know that this will probably be miles beyond what they've worked on previously which was of great quality.

I have gotten a couple of my friends to try it when it comes out but only because i told them it incorporates parkour that is not like hold A in CoD and wait several seconds for you guy to climb over a 3 ft. wall.

I'm not trying to say this game is trash. Maybe i'll get it pre-owned and cheap...

Wolfenstein was their first IP?
BRINK is their second?

Never heard of Enemy Territory until today, I diddnt hear alot about Quake Wars, actually I diddnt hear anything about it really, except for the gaming news published on the internet.

I want more gameplay vids before I decide.

If I rent the game it will cost about $12. That is 20% of the games cost. Rentals are not worth it.

I checked on ign, Quake Wars got a 6.1 (Xbox 360).
