From a Pre-Order thread on Splashdamage forum..

A guy posted this link to a danish site (Danish CDON, EU internet store)

http://cdon.dk/spil/brink/

And.. What the hell, that is the Psycho pack, and check out what CDON is claiming!
- Caesar Revolver
- The Grin Mask*
- Parang Machete*
- Janus-Face Tattoo

*A Machete?
*No Silencers?
*A new skin for the potato sack, that looks even better than the potato sack?

What is this, people?

When I translate it with Google Chrome, it actually changes the mask to "The Laugh"
But that is just... weird. Splash Damage's got some explaining to do o.O

Note the boxart. It is actually the preliminary boxart; also, Splash Damage has specifically said that the melee weapon cannot be customized whatsoever. Therefore, the machete must have been planned before the beta.

Yeah but there's been no melee weapon anywhere in the game at all so far. (Besides the knife with the pistol obviously)
The website could have also been mistaken, and gotten some bad info... that's entirely possible.

I see nothing wrong with the boxart? :l

Have they? This could be the melee-model used if you use the revolver, instead of the normal knife

We might need Splash Damage to answer this, like.. Now

We could just wait and see if they respond on their forum. I mean, they are supposed to be reading that one, right?

Unless Splash Damage states this to be a pre-order bonus, assume this to be fake.

But look at the picture, it seems like it's official, or well.. Except that it's more ''art''-like, than ''in-game model''-like, and this does'nt look like something you just make in Photoshop/Paint, this looks like something made by the concept-artists o_O

And a store can't just put up boogus, can they?

welcome to the internet. on the right you have large amounts of scamming people who can largely do whatever they want based on the laws where their site-host-servers are based... and on the left you have the various trolls who amuse themselves by making fun of those who fall for said scams.

in other words. unless it is an official site with actual backing i.e. gog, walmart, target, bestbuy, ebgames, steam, etc. there is a chance it is in fact a scam. and i regret to inform you there are no "internet police" to stop those who try scam you, or the trolls for that matter.

so again i bid you welcome to the internet. enjoy your stay, and don't eat yellow snow.

edit: site seems legit, but still the information could merely be as up-to-date as they have, and thus merely be that they have not bothered to find any updated information. which at this point seems likely, as they are not on the list of distributors on the brink site... unless the list is different based on region however. either way nothing to get worked up over imo.

I just thought of another idea. What if they are giving the Psycho Pack, but Splash Damage had sent them that picture and info a long time ago, forgot (Or something like that) and the website put it up not knowing the pack had been updated.

I know my way around the internet, I even beat down one of them trolls back in some alley around here, and yellow snow might be beer!

Yes, CDON is a legit site, and GAME here at home doesn't have the Fallout Pack, they got the DOOM pack instead, so.. Hooblaahoop, who knows what is going on

As far as we know, this might aswell be the first sign of the apocalypse

It could just be cosmetic, as in: Instead of using a little shiv when slashing with the Revolver, you pull out a machete instead, that only applies to the Caesar revolver

I really don't think it's "Fake" as much as outdated.
