If you want to describe BRINK to your friends how do you do : Othor Games

Curious what most people say to get their friend to play or pull them away from Halo/Call of duty/battlefield or other shooters that have them hooked - how would you describe this to someone that maybe wanting something new or is stuck on their current FPS game? basically what is your pitch when introducing BRINK to people.

Show them videos.

Show them videos.

+1

I got a few friends interested in it by showing them the "Ready and Able" and Cinematic trailer videos.

Same here. I wouldn't try to draw them away. My PSN status will say it all.

I just call it a mixture of TF2, CoD, and GOD.

Show them videos and try to answer their questions but do it so bad that they decide to stick with CoD or whatever.

It's around 2015. Scientists have made a giant man-made island, called the Ark. It is to house a maximum of 5,000 scientists, and everything is completely renewable.

Now it's 2045. You know when Al Gore said in An Inconvenient Truth that global warming could flood the world? That happened. Everyone is dead. The few survivors escaped to the Ark, which went from 5,000 max people to 50,000. There isn't enough food and fresh water to go around, and all of it is being hoarded by the original 5,000 - The Founders.

The Resistance is born, fighting for equal food, water, and resources. In return, the Security is born, fighting to save the Ark and to preserve the Founders' vision.

Some reasons that this is not any old shooter:

-There is no good guy or bad guy. The Resistance see the Security as oppressive and cruel. The Security see the Resistance as terrorists.
-SMART movement system. Hold down a button, and you seamlessly vault, mantle, and slide with ease. Mix that with actual jumping and crouching, and you can walljump, leap across large gaps, and slide tackle - Without having to be a pro!
-Ultra customization. Customize your hat. Your armor. Your tattoos. The iron sights on your gun. The grenade launcher on your shotgun. The double-ammo magazine on your SMG. Even your accent.
-Mingleplayer - There is NO difference between singleplayer, co-op, and multiplayer. Multiplayer is just taking the campaign and replacing all the bots with real people.
-Complete removal of no-skill kills. No noobtubes. No airstrikes instantly killing your team. Every attack that the enemy does, you can counter it. The control is in your hands.

You're welcome.

Tell them it's Parkour, Customization, Teamplay and progressive characters in a shooter, then show them videos. Then proceed to tell them the many awesome things I couldn't describe to them the first time.

tell them it looks better than any cod game i've seen!

» Fri Jul 16, 2010 9:23 am

Tell them it has nukes. Worked for all the CoD fans...

You're missing the point. BRINK is trying to be DIFFERENT from all the CoD-inspired games. It's going downhill.

It's like if Mirrors edge and TF2 had a baby
and BFBC2 and Killzone had a baby

And those babies somehow met and had a baby

and THAT baby had a baby with Chuck Norris

BRINK would be that baby

Yeah, all my friends are saying the same thing, "LA NOIRE" which in it's own right is full of awesome so I can't really say anything about that besides it not having any online experience, lol.

I was talking to my buddy the other day and managed to form a pretty good summary of the game as a whole. I'm pretty sure I got him interested in buying.

Mirrors edge, Call of Duty and Battlefield had a threesome. BRINK was the result
