Hey just wondering is there any videos like the developer walk throughs for container city / airport?
Cause every clip i've seen so far has been played on xbox, would just like to see it played through PC, or is it going to be exactly the same?
Although in HORSE's thread the youtube video's of container city etc say (PC FOOTAGE) but its actually not since you can see the "PRESS X TO INTERACT"

Thought i'd ask this question as CONSOLE and PC have always had slightly different features for FPS games e.g. Crosshair on xbox is generally circular as seen in the BRINK clips, but in PC FPS games (COD, BF, CS) its more of a Cross or X design (Not 100% sure what you'd call this xhair lol)

Sorry if this seems [censored], forgive me
I just want to find out as much as i can about the PC gameplay of this game before i buy it, as every FPS/MMO(Level based) game on PC so far has failed miserably, except for fallout but its singleplayer :S

Also has the scoreboard for K/D ratio been confirmed yet?
I feel it can't just be removed because its always been a part of FPS games as far as i know and i've been playing Counter-strike since 1.0 in 1999/2000
Maybe just have a global scoreboard at the end of each map telling you K/D ratio's etc, cause i do get the point that users/players just go for a decent K/D ratio instead of doing objectives etc etc. Just a thought ;P

There is a video with PS3 footage and it's pretty much the same (the PS3 HUD is worse compared to the 360's from the PAx walkthrough, But I think that's cause the PS3 vid is probly an earlier build).
So I would assume the only differences in the PC version could be the HUD (Probly not but maybe) and things like dedicated servers. Gameplay/story wise Id say it's the same across all.

Also About the K/D ratio, Im pretty sure thats gone. I think it is like a Win lose ratio instead. I think I read somewhere that there wont be In depth statistics about players.

imo K/D ratio isn't that important. What I want are things like a scoreboard during and after the match with, 1st 2nd 3rd 4th (Within the team) etc, Exp earned, kills, deaths, assists. But K/D isn't that Important to me.

Nah, pretty sure Horse is right with that respect.

Afaik, every gameplay so far is PC with an Xbox controller.

If it weren't PC, it probably wouldn't be as pretty, but they want to show off the Xbox controls because the controllers are harder to use than keyboard and mouse. Mixing the two gives viewers the best of the two worlds. Rest assured, it is all PC.

If it was all PC Version the hud would not say, press x (With an blue X picture) or say to press square (for PS3) or press L (Leftstick) to revive.
If they were all PC versions then it wouldn't have button Pictures for 360 (Or Ps3).
Pc with Xbox controllers are simply replacing the keyboard for a controller not the hud.

See these 2 vids. First on Xbox 360 second PS3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfvfIXTFWJc. (Ignore the fact the poster is called XboxviewTv lol) (PS3)

(P.S Just because something is played on the PC does not necessarily make it the PC version, Xbox 360 and PS3 builds are tested on the PC also)

I'm pretty sure Game for Windows games, (which is what Brink is) will display xbox indicators (like press "X button icon") when you play with an xbox controller on PC. It has already been confirmed by the devs, that the container city vids were PC footage with an xbox controller. At every game event except E3 2010 (which was PS3), it was also played on PC with xbox controllers.

Here is Richard Ham confirming it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObInA1XPMdQ#t=8m41s

For as far as I know, your KDR will show after each match, but the scoreboard will put the guy with the most exp gathered on top.
There are no persistant stats AFAIK.

Everytime you see XBox controls in BRINK videos you can be quite sure it's the PC version. The expo demos were on PC as well, but played with the XBox gamepad and Games For Windows ensures you see the XBox controls when using the gamepad.

They have used all 3 platforms in various Expos, just to prove that all 3 are doing fine.

Ahhh ok thanks lads

Its a shame if there is no K/D AT ALL cause its always been a part of FPS, even before PS / xbox. It'd also be nice if they had an option to change the XHAIR styles between circular and CROSS.

But thats just more work for em

yea IMO it would be cooler to have cross-hair customization like COD:BO (But for the hip fire cross-hair as well).

You could change your crosshairs in previous sd games. You could change shape, pulsing, color and how big it was.

I'd like to see an opt in/opt out system for the win/loss ratio (if it is replacing K/D). It means that more competitive gamers can work hard to become better at the game and improve, but those who are new to shooters aren't immediately put down or discouraged.

Well it will be great if they can implement this into Brink

I hope this as well. I also hope that they give me one of my favorite crosshair features: display health on crosshair. The color of your crosshair changes from white (healthy) to yellow (damaged) to orange (damaged a lot) and red (critical)
