Description:
Brink is an immersive shooter that blends single-player, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay into one seamless experience, allowing you to develop your character across all modes of play. You decide the role you want to assume in the world of Brink as you fight to save yourself and mankind’s last refuge for humanity. Brink offers a compelling mix of dynamic battlefields, extensive customization options, and an innovative control system that will keep you coming back for more.

Story:
A man-made floating city called the Ark, made up of hundreds of separate floating islands, is on the brink of all-out civil war. Originally built as an experimental self-sufficient and 100% “green” habitat, the reported rapid rise of the Earth’s oceans has forced the Ark to become a refuge for humanity. Crammed with the original Ark founders, their descendants, as well as tens of thousands of refugees, the Ark exists in total isolation from the rest of the world. With 25 years of social unrest, the inhabitants of the Ark have reached their breaking point. It’s up to you to decide the future of the Ark and the human race.

Key Features:

• Blurring the Lines Between Offline and Online - Advance your character’s development across every gameplay mode: single player, co-op, and multiplayer. Gain experience points that you can spend on customizing and upgrading your skills and abilities, designing an entirely unique look and feel for your character.
• Groundbreaking Kinesthetics - Brink uses the familiar shooter controls that you’re used to, without frustrating, artificial constraints and takes advantage of a new feature: the SMART button. When you press the SMART button, the game dynamically evaluates where you’re trying to get to, and makes it happen. No need to perfectly time a jump or vault, the game knows what you want to do(also known as the cheaters button).
• Context-Sensitive Goals and Rewards - Objectives, communications, mission generation, and inventory selection are all dynamically generated based on your role, your status, your location, your squad-mates, and the status of the battle in all gameplay modes. You’ll always know exactly where to go, what to do when you get there, and what your reward will be for success.


• Virtual Texturing - Brink’s proprietary technology, Virtual Texturing, breaks new ground on current-gen consoles and PCs with an even greater focus on highly detailed characters, realistic environments, lighting, effects, and atmospherics,. This competitive lead on the squad-combat genre helps thrust players into the gritty reality of the Ark's epic secluded arcology.


over all this seems like a groundbreaker...

So is this a console or pc game? It looks/sounds VERY good!

never read the forum after beer pong....

lol thanks for tellin him...about to yell that it says it at the top

OOOOHHHHHHHHMEGA


Looks like a good game Scout

Sounds amazing. What is it rated??? Sounds like a lot of detail is going in this game. Hope it doesen't tank like some other giant realeases*cough*Borderlands*cough*. Prbly going 2 be 50 big ones

uhhh you have diarrhea of the mouth son...for one have you even played borderlands?....i know at least 5 other people who play borderlands outside of the 3 i know in the clan who play it...300,000 copies sold in its first month on the market...and it scored at least 85% from all the major game critics...i'd say this game far from tanked ...do some research before you flap your gums....

only 300,000 copies?

there is also the DLC for borderlands...it has zombies in it(yay zombies)...saw some of the previews for it...amazing and in an odd since...hilarious....DLC is avaliable today lol

not for pc though...at least not when i checked early this morning... release date is still TBD

hmm...well...to sum this up

Borderlands DLC avaliable today(i checked...at around 5:00pm..no...Am...it was there...so its likely there for the xbox too, also for borderlands...in the top 200 games(of all time lol)....(the first zelda game got #1)it scored higher than Modernwarfare2 ...its debatable...

Brink...its...sorta a base capture thing throughout the whole game...with added objectives through out the match...hope they have character costimization...im not talking about what class or what weapons...im talking about armor

First zelda game getting #1? That is NOT debatable(with modern warfare 2, possibly). But that one game(in all of its pixelated goodiness) spawned one HECK of a game series. And with two new games(one slated for this year, one possibly slated 4 anywhere between late 2010, and somewhere in 2011), Nintendo is probably going to make a couple 'nother BAJILLION dollars on them, or ya k'now,something....

WAT R U SPEWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I looked and looked, but couldn't find a demo. Might have to hit up a Torrent to see how it plays!

i wasnt talking about the first zelda getting number 1 game being debatable...i agree with its position...i was talking about borderlands and MW2...i was saying that people could argue forever on which of these two shoulda gotten the higher position....I too am hoping a demo comes out for Brink(or at least some more pics)

i'd definitely have to buy a new computer for this game, my laptop is crap, and the highest processor speed in my house is 1.9, def need an upgrade to be ble to play this totally kick-butt game!!
