I find it weird that they are already advertising Rage. It's sponsoring The Walking Dead on TV, so they show an ad for it during ad breaks.

No-one is really on there though who's played it atm, so it's just a discussion about the game.

Should have my upgrade running sweet as before this arrives.

D2D can suck me.

In Jersey and cannot get it as "Error: BRINK is Country restricted on your IP."

Tried setting account to United Kingdom, France and Jersey. No Go.
Tried from 3 different ISPs. No Go.
Tried by proxying via a French server. No Go.

I'll pay the extra on steam to avoid the bull that is GameSpy.

Also: Gameplay from Leaked version (He's not too bad)

OminousLatinNoun · 8 May 2011 at 17:04

Here is some more gameplay footage. The player in the second vid is utterly dire though, so be forewarned.

Edit, second video has been taken down.

Looks good to me, would enjoy that online

Does the boxed copy use Gamespy for multiplayer? Can't you use the CD key in Steam and play the game that way?

Missed the point

Im still not sure about this. Those gameplay videos dont sway me to the yes column on whether or not I should get this. Im gonna wait for a review wish they had a demo out for this though

D2D purchase problem "solution":

"Unfortunately it would appear that you're using a RIPE network access point, in this instance you would need to use a different internet connection, provided by a registered ISP.

The best recommendation we can offer is that you attempt to make your purchase using a connection that isn't affiliated with the RIPE network."

Reply:

"Ripe NCC is responsible for the whole of Europe. Are you indicating anyone in Europe cannot purchase Brink from D2D? D2D clearly lists many European regions as a legitimate location.

Using an ISP not registered to RIPE would mean I had to leave the continent of Europe.....this seems somewhat prohibitive.

Cheers"

Doesn't look that bad, though i'm trying to figure out where the recoil went from hipfire... the crosshair doesn't expand at all even when firing full automatic.

Deific · 8 May 2011 at 23:17

Watching the pirated version videos, I just can't tell if this is going to be utter pants or utter excellence.

Does anyone know if it has headshots? Also if there are sniper rifles?

Got an email from gamegears saying money had been taken out, for some reason I got excited and thought it was a dispatch notice.

I think this will turn out ok, they had some pretty respectable people working on it, quoting IGN:

"Our audio director is Chris Sweetman, who was audio director on Black and Burnout Paradise," Stern tells us by way of explanation. "He's a maniac – and I say that with love – but he's an absolute maniac. Already the audio's better on this than it's been on our last two games."

He's not the only high-profile hire behind the game; the resumés of Brink's staff read like a list of the great and good of the past few years. "Our lead level designer is Neil Alphonso from Killzone 2 – and also we've got pretty hardcore level design department including Dave Johnson who did Dust [a revered Counter Strike map], which you may have played at some point – our art director Olivier Leonardi worked on the first Prince of Persia, lead character artist Tim Applebly did Shepherd for Mass Effect and our lead coder, Dean Calver, did Heavenly Sword…"
