Could ‘Brink’ Be The Best First-Person Shooter Of All Time?

[Not Yellow]

That headline, my kind friends, may be a little much to be claiming this soon, but having now seen some brand new videos that Bethesda Softworks has put out for their new game, Brink, it’s so very heard to ignore the possibilities. All you can do is watch what I’ve watched and see for yourself.

Brink is actually developed by Splash Damage and will be published by Bethesda, much like they did with the recent WET. Bethesda is renowned for their amazing video game feats, having crafted two of the greatest titles man has ever encountered in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3. And this was just in the past handful of years! WET wasn’t so well-received overall (though I quite enjoyed it for what it was), but with Brink, the company is really aiming to show that they know what they’re doing on both the developing and publishing fronts.

Check out the full article over at Geeks of Doom (http://geeksofdoom.com/2009/12/04/could-brink-be-the-best-first-person-shooter-of-all-time/).

Everyone should check out the videos that are posted in that article. It's worth it. :)

When I first saw the title instantly I thought of the time traveling cat :D.

But then I clicked your link and was blown away, i'm not to big on the hype train so I won't watch to many more of those videos, but I like the customization and the multiplayer future.

I dunno, I really don't get why all the hype for it

[l Maximus l]

It definitely looks cool...best FPS? I'm unsure...that's a tough one. At this point, I'm enjoying the hell out of MW2.

[Bakeman]

I'm definitely looking forward to it!

[Vampero]

I hope it turns out to be a great game...The new vids they put up looks like good game play.

It has the potential to be one of the best. The SMART system is really going to add a new level to the FPS genre.
I'm keeping an eye on this one.

I can answer that in my opinion :P

The smart system, no more of the, walk up to a ledge press A to jump over, if you know what I mean, you can, in my understanding. Leap over anything at any angle within reasonable bounds, or slide under anything within reasonable bounds. That's, from what i've seen, something brand new in an FPS.

Then you have the customization, which you know they're going to have fun putting DLC up for if it does get as popular as it look like it would.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, cause I really didn't catch the very last part of what he was saying, the multiplayer will be in three different sections 7 Player Co-op, then the online matchmaking, and this last part I didn't catch, it sounded like he said the last one would be a persistent world which I would guess be something like PSU everyone you met was another online player minus NPC's.

Its ****ing bethesda its a definite buy. They make the best games ever.

This young man speaks the truth. Bethesda could **** in a box and I would still pay 60$ for it.

Also, the dev is a company called Splash Damage, not Bethesda, unless I am missing something here.

Your correct. Bethesda is just publishing the game. I am sure they are giving input on things as well though.

[OBL infad3ll]

wow if the game is as good as those videos make it look thaen it will quite possibly be in the top tier of games

It was DEVELOPED by Rebellion studios only published by Bethesda. Even so Elder Scrolls, and Fallout do you think 1 game will offset all of their amazing one?

But they still have something to do with ..lol

I'll put it this way if Bethesda DEVELOPS the game its amazing if they publish it Idk this company looks pretty promising though

My point is why would they put their name on a game that is so bad? I have Fallout 3 and Oblivion.They should have never shipped the game..:p

To make money, considering their trailer looked nice enough I would have bought it. Bethesda was the Publisher for this game, meaning all Bethesda did, was market, manufacture and distribute the game. Now a Bethesda Developed game is completely different.

I will give that..:)

The movement of the game mimics Mirrors Edge to a degree. I don't know why best FPS is being discussed but we'll see.

[Vampero]

HOTNESS!!

Found a gameplay vid :

This looks like a definite pick-up. 8 players in co-op some freedom to move. I think I love it already.

[wicked_d365]

Game looks very promising. I will have to wait till it gets closer to launch. Hopefully we get a demo.

I also like the fact that the game is designed to be played with one player or full co-op (what ever makes the final game). Its also designed for online and people that don't have online.
