Nothing would be cooler than to see a Light zombie running and jumping off a rail towards you.

Despite the civil war and water shortages, I'd still like to live on the Ark, 'cos there even the zombies parcour, it'd be awesome,

Valve made a start on parkour zombies in half life 2, (their fast zombies were the best game enemies ever, period) then in L4D they could climb and get on top of tables and low walls, but this is an oppurtunity to take it to epic extremes.

I wonder if the guys keeping an administrative eye on this (and other) topics might pick this up and send it to SD, after all Bethesa and SD are having a nice, hands off, open doors relationship according to The Escapist.

If you've seen the sort of many routes at once illustration in Aubrey Hesselgren dev diary, imagine all the guys in it are zombies and you're what they're running towards.

Then imagine you kill loads of them creating a pile of corpses the SMART system can include in its dynamic reachabilities calculations, opening up escape routes and acting as high ground for you, and acting as cover for them as well as giving them further attack routes.

In COD WAW I would use corpses as visual cover while sniping prone, (A short affair before I fell in love with stealth, gas nade, shotgun technique.) I don't think there are any other ways corpses have been used in multiplayer before.

If that were to actually happen in real life, I don't think "cool" would be my first reaction...

More like sh!t, :bolt:

Nothing would be cooler than the zombie hype to finally end.

Well.. If we were to get DLC for BRINK, I'm pretty sure it would just be maps

And clothes. And voicepacks.

And perhaps skills, weapons and equipment.

Yeah too bad this is a VIDEO GAME.

Actually, nothing would be cooler than for you to accept the fact that some people enjoy zombies. Perhaps you not responding to my comments would be cooler.

I really would'nt count on that, as if we do get DLC and updates, it's more likely gonna cost money, and then it will split the community, those who have the pack, and those who don't, and that would be.. Terrible! :sadvaultboy:

I know it's not up to Splash Damage to charge us for updates and so, but it's Sony and Microsoft (and maybe Valve) who decides if it's gonna be free of charge or not, and well.. Companies do love money

The zombie thing is done to death, and it seems to have no boundaries. First you have L4D and L4D2, games focused around zombies. Then you have WaW with zombies, Blops with zombies, and then it crosses genres and Read Dead Redemption has zombies now - Let's not forget Plants vs Zombies....

I just think that this is actually a game where a survival/zombie mode would fit in nicely as DLC. The whole concept of the Ark makes it more interesting. Of course nobody would be obligated to purchase/download it.

Seriously Brink is about bringing something new to the table. Zombies are overdone.

Couldn't you do the whole survival thing just sing the factions in the game? Gears of War does it in Horde mode - Humans vs Locusts. Why not just have waves of the opposing faction (with varying bodytypes and weapons) in the place of zombies?

1 word:
Zombies

new weapon dlc would be nice though, not many shooters do that kinda thing and i think it would be well appreciated

:lmao: I hope you didnt just read all the other posts and make that one in vein of the others.

IMO new maps would be nice, or a mini story that takes place during the original story, and possibly a level cap increase in with them.

(Lvl 21+ would not be able to use addon skills or skills bought past 20 in games of lvl 20 or lower)

You have a point there, although they would fit with Brinks' gameplay mechanics, (awesomely well), they wouldn't really fit with its sincere feel, or its' aims.
I say we wait for other games to copy the movement system and teamplay encouragers of Brink, then let them do zombies.
While in the meantime SD creates something else zombie-replace-ingly EPIC.

Zombies were fun when they were new. And when they were a horror-element. Also they were fun when they were still Zombies, not Parkour-Zombies on crack.

If L4D3 wants to do Zombies vs Traceurs, I'm fine with that. But BRINK just does not fit. I couldn't even find a good reason for a zombie-outbreak on the ARK. It's supposed to be all green and happy and sunshine and rainbow. And Resistance.

Maybe the disease they need the vaccine for, turns them into zombies? If they can add zombies to Red Dead Redemption, I'm sure they could think up a reason to add them to Brink. I still think it would be lame regardless.

Just because another game manages to Ad Hoc zombies in doesn't mean another game should butcher their story to fit them in as well.

Zombie modes can be fun, but I cant stand when devs push them into the storyline. If the devs just cant do without zombies; then please make it a non-canon, alternate universe, stand alone story version of zombies.

They don't have to be zombies. You could just have a horde mode with regular, not-dead people.

For DLC I reccomend that we be able to buy pre order bonuses.

no-one asked for anything else, the scenario itself is a perfect setup . confined to a manmade, research vessel, with thousands of civies and scientists to infect and a bunch of security and refugees having firefights in the peripheral areas over rations. a non canon halloween pack to rejuvenate sales for the holiday season is almost a match made in heaven. it would be a standalone multiplayer mode, for people who wouldn't mind some last man standing get the hell outta dodge gameplay. like l4d but with objectives only certian classes can fulfill.

it's a fun diversion in an almost perfectly alligned setting then when sequel time rolls around is easily rejected as the diversion it was.

Right. I'm not saying I want zombies just because I like them in other games. I really think they would fit this game nicely. Some of of you think zombies are over and done but not everyone feels that way. I'm not gonna be upset if they don't make a zombie dlc.....it was only a suggestion. After all, the title of this topic is "Sequel and DLC Ideas".

But why do Zombies fit so well into BRINK for you?

Because of the Parkour? - For me that's definately a big argument against it. Zombies shouldn't be parkouring. Zombies are brainless, practically dead corpses with mostly broken muscular systems.
Because of the Art-style? - I could only partly agree on this. Zombies could be very well done in BRINK, from a visual point of view; but then again I find Zombies to be something which should be used in very realistic looking games (think Far Cry 2 or Crysis), because it makes them more horrifying.
