Brink Review * Brutal Gamer *

BrutalGamer's Zeth writes the following:

OK, disclaimer right off the bat. I’ve championed Brink since I first heard/saw it back in 2009. I did the previews, attended the screenings, held interviews with developer Splash Damage’s staff. Basically this was going to be my game of 2010. Oh and I played the game for the first three hours wearing my Brink tee shirt.

So with all that said, was my opinion of Brink altered by these things? Well, yes, but not in the way you might think. You see, like so many others, Brink turned out to not be the game I thought it was. I was expecting something akin to Borderlands. Brink seemed to be a story driven narrative with a unique online squad-based twist. Instead what I was served up was a revised version of classics like Valve’s Team Fortress series and Splash Damage’s own Enemy Territory : Quake Wars & Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

Ironic that a website called "Brutal Gamer" would give it one of its highest scores.

mephixto4754d ago

8 is great score for Brink, at least on PC

joydestroy4754d ago

yeah, esp since playing solo is actually pretty brutal...

Ju4754d ago

...yeah, brutally bad.

moosehound4754d ago

Haha - yeah I guess :)

I did give it a good work over though ;) Brink is good on PS3 / Xbox 360 but will shine on PC in the end.

Glad you like the review guys.

How Tencent gave Splash Damage the "cheat codes for game development"

From GI.biz: "When it transpired in 2016 that Splash Damage had been acquired by a Chinese poultry firm, the headline raised more than a few eyebrows.

But it turned out that Leyou had more than one ace up its sleeve. The company already owned a majority stake in Warframe developer Digital Extremes and went to buy 20% of Texas-based studio Certain Affinity the next year."

Sony updated the ps5 website saying it will still release this year. Could be putting on a face. If it got delayed I'd understand.

If anything if the console does drop this year there will most likely be a supply shortage but if it got pushed to 2021 release I wouldn't mind. I usually wait a year or two when the new consoles drop anyways the bugs are worked out and more games are released. Usually when a new console drops the launch titles can be either good or a pile of shit.
