Won't be using the Psycho pack mask though. Want to see my character's sexy customizable face.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Well, as I've said before, if anyone has a 360 Doom or Fallout pack and wants the awesome 360 Psycho pack, just shoot me a PM then.

I'm not convinced that the "new gun" isn't just going to have the same stats as other guns in the game, just perhaps with a different model (maybe).

EDIT: Yep. http://brink.wikia.com/wiki/Caesar#Caesar

 

[Genesis Knight]

No the guy's right - the Walmart one has a Heckler Machine Pistol.

 

[-PXG-]

UGGGH!!!! So conflicted. Not sure if I want to pick up my pre-order tomorrow. HALP!

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Will map tools be released for the PC.

 

[Danne-Danger]

Might as well repost it:

Q: Do the pre-order weapons have their own, unique stats, or do they share the stats of other weapons, with a different model and skin to represent it? How do they balance out against the stock weapons?

A: All of the pre-order weapons mimic the stats of guns that are already in the game. The pre-order weapons do have new looks and in some cases new sounds. Also, since this has been asked quite a bit, if you have multiple pre-orders codes for different offers, you can use all of them in one copy of Brink to get all of the goods.

From some site with frag in the title, or something like that!

Gears beta will wrap up soon, and you know you need a solid team based multiplayer shooter to hold you over the summer.

If it's bad just sell it in the b/s/t thread here on Gaf to take a minimal loss.

Be a boss and roll with Brink Gaf.

Wait a few hours? NA PC gamers will have their copies and be playing soon enough. You'll get all the impressions you'll need.

 

[thezerofire]

That's been their entire marketing campaign, would be odd if they wised up now!


And all the pre-order weapon stuff is just skins, SD confirmed it not too long ago.

even the Psycho revolver and the Walmart machine pistol? those seemed like unique guns. if so, that's kinda disappointing.

ah I see. makes sense I guess.

 

[Grayman]

no word yet. On one hand its an id engine, on the other hand it is using virtual texturing and such.

OH ho ho ho. Thanks Danne-Danger.

Yeah looking at how they formulated themselves in the associated text it seemed like it, but I don't think it said so outright. Another case of Bethesda marketing genius!

 

[Neverfade]

Can't nab mine from Amazon, either.

if anyone wants to sell me a reasonably priced Psycho pack from Amazon (360 version), PM me.

 

[(._.)]

Hoping Brink keeps me busy when it comes out

 

[divisionbyzorro]

For what it's worth, the Amazon and Walmart packs do get uniquely skinned attachments (which you, the player actually get to look at) while the Best Buy and Gamestop packs get unique t-shirts (which only other players get to look at). And yet I just want the t-shirts for my virtual Barbie Murder. :lol

 

[Makoto]

Bethesda should put up Brink's soundtrack for purchase.

 

[zlatko]

For those who care:

Edit: Seems PS3 version looks better... too bad the Xbox version has a working online component right out the box.

Agreed. I keep humming the main theme to myself and it's not even out yet.

Does it really look that bad? :\

Yep, wonder if it's the equivalent of the day one patch consoles are getting.

They don't mention screen tearing I assume there is none.

 

[zlatko]

Naw, both versions look good. PS3 just is less blurrier and seems to be using better lighting than the Xbox 360 version from what my eyes can see.

 

[Proven]

Considering the HDD issue with the textures, it makes sense that the PS3 version looks better.

This is IdTech4 right? If so, not surprising as the PS3 version of Wolfenstein was a hair better

 

[Genesis Knight]

Yeah. It's Virtual/Mega texturing at work again; looks worse on the 360 thanks to the nonstandard HDD - the engine has to provide for there being no HDD to cache from. Sort of sucks, but them's the breaks.

 

[Definity]

Does it really look that bad? :\

Yes. It looks that bad and if you have a HDD make sure to install it but I've tried it with HDD and without and it still looks very blurry. (360)

 

[zlatko]

How many gigs to install on 360 ?

 

[alr1ght]

 

[HELLA_MONEYZ]

The colors look crisper on the 360 version and the haggles are the same on both. Is this going to be like the crysis 2 debate?

 

[weekend_warrior]

Yes. It looks that bad and if you have a HDD make sure to install it but I've tried it with HDD and without and it still looks very blurry. (360)

I'd be buying it for PS3. Some of these pictures are pretty concerning.

 

[KaYotiX]

Why is there even a debate about PS3 or 360? Which one can you play online tomorrow? End of story. Nobody is gonna buy a game they cant get online with when thats the MAIN draw of the game.

if i just had a PS3 id buy the PC version instead.

 

[CrookedRain]

Disappointing? I'm getting the Psycho pack and I think the news is great. Multiplayer games should never have exclusive weapons that are only available to certain players.

 

[Sinatar]

It's id tech 4, it's going to run/look like ass on consoles. PC version is mandatory here.

 

[DKo5]

I set up a server for PC GAF. Its running default Objective settings. Its running on a 30Mbps fiber line in SoCal. I didn't really mess with any settings, so if you guys need me to turn on/off something, send me a PM. I won't be getting it for a few days at least.

Maybe you should edit that out, and just tell Gaffers to PM you for that info, since lurkers could join to troll.

I don't care as long as they're not awesome weapons or something.

Meh, if they become a problem I'll change the pw and go that route. I figure first night its worth getting as many people together as possible.

 

[Anerythristic]

I sort of put myself in a lock down before an anticipated game . So Ive been in a media blackout, hope to see people on tomorrow on the 360

 

[Big Chungus]

Anyone want to trade their Fallout DLC pack?

I have an unused retail key for Star Trek Online and an unused Spartan Recon Helmet 360 code for use with avatar.

 

[CyReN]

My amazon order shipped!

 

[Bromeliad]

Oh hey, something I didn't know that is a pretty neat detail is that the Resistance and Security guns sound different. In the launch trailer a resistance character and a security character fire the same type of gun like a second apart from one another, and you can tell. The resistance's sound a lot more clattery and loud than the Security, who sound more crisp and clean a la Call of Duty.

It's touches like these that make me really appreciate the dichotomy between the two factions, and looking back on the early builds and concept art over the years you can see that SD knew the visual direction for both of them pretty early on and stuck to it. Go them. Each side is visually appealing in different ways, and their outlook and motivations are both so grey-area that I'm really torn as to which I'll support more.

Yeah, I remember them talking about this now in a Vidoc. The resistance guns sound like they're falling apart; really mechanical and clunky. The security ones are tight and crisp.

 

[Shurs]

As far as Brink goes, when I put up my review I won't be worried about beating out everyone else which seems to be what everyone else is up to. They need to get their half assed word out first and not give the game the necessary time and love. I imagine Friday is when I'll have covered everything needed to be able to articulate why the game is a success or a bust.

Did you get a review copy, or are you just talking?

 

[-PXG-]

A buddy of mine somehow got it early for PS3. I'll go to his place tomorrow and play it myself.

Sweet i'm in SoCal so this will be great for me

Thanks for doing this.

Hour and 30 min left till unlock. wooot

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

FUUUUUUUUU, those 360 VS PS3 shots are disappointing. The 360 version looks too dark!

All my friends are on the 360 and I prefer the controller, but the differences it’s quite big.

 

[weekend_warrior]

good quality stream going on if anyone still cares.
