Controller support for PC version? Anti-cheating?

Post » Sun Apr 17, 2011 1:48 pm

So I bought Brink for my 360 because tons of people on my friend's list were all excited for it. I have an awesome gaming rig, that I never use for more than web surfing, but all my friends that own PCs are only interested in playing MMORPGs and I just can't take those kinds of games anymore.

Anyway, I love the game, but most everyone I was planning on playing Brink with on the 360 are all crying about the game for various reasons and I'm thinking about getting the PC version. I have questions:

- Is there controller support?

- What's the anti-cheating support for steam play?

- Is there any way to transfer my pre-order bonuses to the PC version if I do purchase it?

- Are there as many morons on the PC that hate on the game for the dumbest, some times made up, reasons?

- Is the screen tearing as bad during cut scenes?

- Is the frames per second higher?

- Is there a big community and is it easy to find full games of players on both sides?

- Is the lag bad despite having dedicated servers?


I know that's a lot of questions, but I really like the game and I plan on playing it for a good while as long as I can find matches with real people and not bots.

So I bought Brink for my 360 because tons of people on my friend's list were all excited for it. I have an awesome gaming rig, that I never use for more than web surfing, but all my friends that own PCs are only interested in playing MMORPGs and I just can't take those kinds of games anymore.

Anyway, I love the game, but most everyone I was planning on playing Brink with on the 360 are all crying about the game for various reasons and I'm thinking about getting the PC version. I have questions:

- Is there controller support? As far as I know, No.

- What's the anti-cheating support for steam play? Valve Anti Cheat. Protects Counter Strike very effectively. If it can protect the world's most plyed game, it can protect BRINK.

- Is there any way to transfer my pre-order bonuses to the PC version if I do purchase it? No. Pre order period is over, and you had a very long time to consider it.

- Are there as many morons on the PC that hate on the game for the dumbest, some times made up, reasons? Yes, but people are people, and people as a whole are stupid. Morons are everywhere humans are.

- Is the screen tearing as bad during cut scenes? Not at all. You'll want to be careful if you have an AMD driver, however.

- Is the frames per second higher? Yes - It's not capped.

- Is there a big community and is it easy to find full games of players on both sides? As of now, no. However, keep in mind the game is very unpolished and is a little under 3 days old.

- Is the lag bad despite having dedicated servers? Yes, but much better than console's P2P.


I know that's a lot of questions, but I really like the game and I plan on playing it for a good while as long as I can find matches with real people and not bots.

Thanks for the reply Rammite. It makes me sad. I hoped that this game would see a larger community and have some staying power. Maybe people will come around after a few patches.

Yeah, BRINK's community overall is incredibly weak. I say wait two weeks. If it hasn't improved by then, it's not worth another purchase.
