First of all, I am totally mystified by how I did not see this. Brink starved as I was, it shocks me that something like this with so much gameplay shown missed my notice.

But that aside, I notice the gunplay is very different. First of all, there is the powerful single shot rifle, first appearing at 0:52. Is that still included in the game? I certainly haven't seen it. The second, and I think overall more interesting part, is the extreme lack of recoil. In this video, I don't think I noticed a single time when a gun was forced up by prolonged fire.

What I was wondering is what you, fellow Brink connoisseurs, thought? Do you think Brink would have been better or worse if it had kept this format of play?

The link to the video I am talking about is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YdyqZR3J3o&feature=related

That single shot rifle is in the game and it's DEVASTATING if you land a shot.

One shot in the head and your enemy is dead thats for sure.

Also,for me,recoil seems the same. o_O

One shot: I am looking forward to unlocking that :drool:

Recoil: I haven't played it yet (pre-order is taking forever to get here), but from all the game vids I've seen, recoil is significantly more. Could just be me that's weird though :teehee:

Rather than create another thread for it I'd also like to add, http://www.brinkthegame.com/features/


And I agree, the recoil in that video is non-existant, I can't decide if I like that better or worse than the final game.

I don't know what happened to them. In fact, you look at most of the old promo vids, and they're all drenched with colour and light. From everything I've seen so far, that has just disappeared. It could be that SD took it away when they realized how laggy things could be.

I think it's a bit sad that the colour has gone, as it was something that I really haven't seen in any FPS since Nerf Arena Blast (those were the days :happy: )

There was an FPS called Nerf Arena Blast, must look this up!!!

WHAT!?

There are WORLDS between what seen in the video and the actual game now.


FIX THAT SD ater you killed that lag and FPS issues.
If those effects not come it's straight missleading even though it's "just graphics".

Mhm. Although I'd still prefer for the current incarnation of Brink to exist than no Brink at all, I feel a bit mislead on a lot of the Brink build-up.

Not really that different and the single shot rifle is the Dragnov or whatever its called. Its pretty much the Dragonuv but "Brinkinized"

No its not the dragnov, its the barnett. Those are the only 'sniper rifles'..
Personnaly i dont see that much difference in recoil, but could be.
And about the sun effects, i guess its downgraded a bit.. ):

Whatever happened to the cutscene with the security-bot breaking into container city and the cliffhanger that followed?

Well this is kinda my point as to why we were sold on "A fake product" - I too also wonder that.

1 of the reasons i got into brink was from that trailer back in the day - the first gameplay trailer with the GREEN glowy cargo container at the end.

Where has it gone? - where is the colors? Where is the green glow at the end? Where is the game that i had been following for years - to this dripping madness i have now?

misleading advertising at its best.

Were SD desperate for money? - Did SD somehow down the link make a mistake in compiling or coding? and couldnt revert back?

All valid questions i would LOVE to be answered, but lets face it- aint gonna happen.

Oh [censored].. Now that you mention it.. The game looked better in the videos, the single-player seemed to be more single-player, I mean.. Remember the dialogue exchanging before the match started? ''We do this by the book'' ''receiving fire, receiving fire!'' ''well it wasn't incoming'' *bam bam* ''okay that was incoming!'' and stuff like that

Where is the cutscene where they break in and get the vaccine/bomb that glows green?

When using a control panel and you bring up the objection wheel i only get four options at most. There is six options on the features overview video. We've been straight up conned and i would like a refund!!!! Well done Bethseda on a con well done.

I think that's kind of harsh. Yeah, this game is a lot less than we were led to believe, but judging by the improvements we've seen already (dealing with lag issues and improvements to bots), there's no reason not to expect some other significant changes for the better.

Brink is something very new, and I'm not surprised there are growing pains (maybe a bit disappointed, but not surprised).

If, in one months time, no more changes have been made then exist now, THEN I will call it a con.
