Gameplay Differences

Post » Tue Oct 12, 2010 7:10 pm

It's kind of hard to word this, but It's kind of worrying me, but I do have hope for it. A bit of story to explain my position, first of all. The trailer for Brink caught my eye on Steam last year, but I didn't pay it much attention until the game popped back into my head. after seeing a video or two a month ago, and am going to be buying it. HOWEVER;

Call of Duty Black Ops. I've played it for the Xbox360 as well as for the PC. However, in doing this, I realized that the game was predominantly developed for the Xbox 360 over the PC. I realize they did this because they'd get more sales through the Xbox 360 anyways, as the series has always had a large fanbase. However because of this, I found that Black Ops was almost unplayable on the PC compared to the Xbox 360. I in fact REGRET buying it for the PC because of the mediocre gameplay. In other games it is the same, although at times reversed.

So my question (or rather worry) is:

Is Brink being developed predominantly for one system, or equally all three? Does anyone happen to know? Personally I would like to see all three be equal, and would be absolutely heartbroken if this ended up like Black Ops did. In a better sense, I'm really hoping the gameplay isn't skimped for any system.

I don't know if it will be, but I hope it is equal for all three.

Splash Damage is trying to make the game equal on all 3 platforms, they have put tons of hours into this and have refrained from just "porting" the game from one platform to another.
There should be no problems playing Brink on the PC as splash damage is a primarily PC developer, and there should be no problems fro console players either, the demo at E3 was played on xbox controllers and the controls seemed to be fine based on reveiws.

Thanks for answering that. I'll be able to continue to tell my friends to check this game out. (as most of them play PC but a few have PS3's and Xbox's)

Can't wait for May 17th.

Didn't they actually have dedicated coding-teams for each platform? (I might be confusing BRINK with another game, tho.)
