More Flame Bait to get the Muppet's going you've got to love Sundays how this idiots site doesn't get banned is beyond me comes up with nothing but lies and rumors every week gets called on his lies every week and yet gets approved every week.

Bumpmapping5257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

Brinks looks like a beefed up Xbox 1 game is comparison haha! Bu bu but teh inferior textures and lightingz!!

retardednickname5258d ago

I really wonder if this would ever get approved without 10 of his friends spamming the approve button minutes within this going up.

WildArmed5258d ago (Edited 5258d ago )

lol. I was wondering that.
I was in the approve section.. didnt hit refresh for a minute.. and it never showed up there. I came to the approved section and BAM. o_o
on a side note, was watching Brink videos today.. looked awesome, but the textures are no where near Killzone 2.

But the game looks alot of fun.. one of my most anticipated games as of today xD

Shotgun_Roamer5258d ago

Why can't the mods just ban this fool. It's flame bait + a rumormill in one annoyingly presented 10 minute video. No one even values his opnion or gets anything from his babbling. Please end him.

ukilnme5257d ago

@ Shotgun_Roamer

Flamebait and rumors are part of the N4G way. If the others are not banned for submitting those type of things, why ban HHG?

N4PS3G5257d ago

what's the point of posting high quality screens of a finished game (killzone2) to compare it with small low quality Pre Alpha E3 Footage from June 09 (Brink)?

Shotgun_Roamer5257d ago

Because they don't come from one source. Example: IGN will have a run of garbage articles but produce a good one from time to time. This guy is just garbage everytime. The only deviasion he has is that some of his videos are more annoying than others

fishd5257d ago

I couldn't find any better pic of Brink,care to share some with us?

And those KZ2 pics are not from the final version,
1st one is from MULTIPLAYER beta
3rd one is from E3 2007

2nd and 4th one are,respectively, from KZ2 demo and Preview code for media tho

Unicron5257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

I find it funny that the much maligned art style and aesthetic of KZ2 is being evoked by Brink, yet all they did was up the color saturation. Now it's "zomg teh beautifulz?" Funny.

And those character models are ass and the animation had best be WAY early. Sky dome painting is nice, if a bit flat.

@ XBOX360-FUN

that is a good idea give it graphics like Yakuza 3/4 but be open world ninja :)

DelbertGrady5257d ago

Brink looks pretty damn good imo. Love the lighting and colors. Awesome animations and art direction as well. Check out this vid.

-Seven-5257d ago

We dont know what genre the game will be but your right most ninja games are hack and slash.

A mixture of MGS and slpinter cell conviction with some yakuza would be awesome.

The next shinobi might even be a PS3 exclusive judging by the track record.

GOWIII35257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

Wrong. Brink has more color, sharper textures, more detail.

Killzone 2 has blurry, patchy textures that look good from afar but not up close. KZ2 has two colors, less defined textures. The lead designer from KZ2 is working on Brink and is obviously taking advantage of the 360's hardware, which is the platform they show the game off on. The game blew people away at E3 behind closed door.

Since only alpha stage footage has been shown so far, please don't spam up the comment section with pics of Killzone 2. I know you will try to post pics with just the right light glaring, to make KZ2 seem better looking. The KZ2 lead designer/developer and others, used lighting in KZ2 to hide the game's average textures with that classic PS3 trick.

http://g4tv.com/videos/4302...
Just look at the rust and the paint peel in the hallway walls 1:37-3:13, Jesus Christ. Add some beams of light with red balls coming through cracks and we can call it a day. There will be no need for PS3 fan excuses in KZ2's defense, there will be nothing left, unless Brink gets a bunch of motion blur.

WildArmed5257d ago

GOWIII3
really now?
After a quick view of your comments, its clear you hold something against the PS3.
I feel sorry for people who see games with their fanboy glasses.
Brink looks good, but its not in the same league as K2, U2.
I bet it'll be more fun then K2, no doubt about it.
I give credit where its due..
If you have seen Killzone 2's textures upclose.. you'd be deleting your comment right now =/

Please dont try to make such biased posts in the Gamer Zone.
Brink looks good.. but its nowhere near the best =/

baum5257d ago

"The lead designer from KZ2 is working on Brink and is obviously taking advantage of the 360's hardware"

That's one of the dumbest quotes of the day. He was a *designer*, not a programmer. Very different jobs. Why don't you change your name from GOWIII3 to something more suiting like... maybe... HaloIII3? You'd save everyone a lot of time.

Antan5257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

Onto another new account i see......must be in double figures now?

"The lead designer from KZ2 is working on Brink".

Neil Alphonso was the lead "level" designer on Killzone 2.

"taking advantage of the 360's hardware, which is the platform they show the game off on"

Yeah, that's footage from the PC, played with a 360 controller (exactly like E3, PAX, etc.) It's literally the exact same demo, running on the same PC. I should add we've got the same levels running right now on console, looking just as good...

http://www.splashdamage.com...

So, seems like they`re taking advantage of the PS3 also ;).

Stop spamming the article. Trying to force your opinion on others who disagree is rather immature. Also, please dont talk technical as you are rather uninformed on the subject, though to be fair, this has always been one of your many weak points down the years.

Brink looks really REALLY good, but still has it all to prove. One would expect a game released in Q4 2010 to trump a similar game released Q1 2009. Its called evolution. Whats clear for everyone to see i think is that Brink so far, doesn`t have the lighting system, particle fx, smoke fx to match KZ2. But with another year to go, anythings possible, especially on PC.

ultimolu5257d ago

People like you is the reason why people can't accept games for the way they are. Brink looks interesting-the graphics look good but anyone who compares this to Killzone 2 is out of their minds.

You actually have to play Killzone 2 first before you dare make that assumption. You haven't played it so don't try to compare anything.

Noob5257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

But it doesn't come anywhere close to what KZ2 offers graphically.

More colors =/= better looking game

The animations are average(kz2's is far superior), lighting isn't as good, textures aren't as good, not is much going on, etc. The game reminds me of a watered down KZ2 but with more color.

FACTUAL evidence5257d ago

you honestly need to look at kz2. Matter of fact, look at the screens fishd posted. Brink is a beautiful game don't get me wrong, but i must say it's only a step further from gears 2. Saying that this game is graphically better than kz2 is like saying UC2 is graphically better than crisis....i understand brink has more vibrant colors, but hell, Farcry 2 has more vibrant colors than kz2, so i guess that game looks better than kz2 as well? (BTW farcry 2 looks amazing so don't can it!)

lol since when is 7 a mediocre score?

7.0 to 7.4 (Decent)

6.0 to 6.9 (Passable)

5.1 to 5.9 (Mediocre)

-IGN

egm_hiphopgamer5258d ago

IGN Isn't HipHopGamer If I give a game a 5 that joint is garbage, horrible, that's the way i look at it

N4PS3G5257d ago

Thank God IGN ain't HHG...i don't think they would enjoy a 50 Cent game lol

If a 7 is mediocre then an 8 must be decent and 9 means it's just good ... haha ok you get the point

anyway your review system is fuked up and a 7 is not a mediocre game..maybe you should lower the score ..but don't cus then they won't pay you! :O!! lol

BigMassacre5257d ago

If 5 is "garbage and horrible" then why is 1 through 4 even necessary? Might as well have a scale from 1 to 5 then.

That's the way that me and quite possibly logic itself looks at it.

Persistantthug5257d ago

You definitely got a F...obviously a fail.

Just thought I'd point that out.

sabestar5258d ago

Hmm?? Shinobi would be great if it shows up, but I highly doubt it. Btw, Brink looks good and has a bit more colours, but it does not have the details and beautiful lighting effects of Killzone 2.

egm_hiphopgamer5258d ago

I know killzone 2 has areas where it still looks better than brink but overall from what I seen I feel Brink goes to the next level I would say the sharpness is what gives brink the edge because killzone 2 although it sports great motion blur that effect in comparison to brink , brink just appears sharper with more vibrant colors, and when you walk up to textures it appears slightly more detailed because of the extra sharpness that game has

LordMarius5257d ago

Maybe you should sharpen your run-off sentence.

Simon_Brezhnev5257d ago

lmao @ MariusElijah

you got me seriously laughing

iceman065257d ago

I just wonder how "fair" it might be to compare a game running on PC, which we know is probably high end, to a console version. I would really wait on the Brink comparisons until we actually see it running on the consoles. It looks bright and vibrant and the overall feel is somewhat reminiscent of Borderlands (IMO). Character designs are a bit like the old Timesplitters feel with exaggerated features. I am excited for it. But, I am still perplexed as to why so many people don't understand that the limitations on color in KZ2 were simply a design element. It was gray, brown, blacks to convey an industrial feel and an oppressive atmosphere. Could you have felt the oppression of the Helgan people with sunny skies, white puffy clouds??? Don't think it would have felt the same.

Ju5257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

UC2 has sharper textures then KZ2, but still, KZ2 has the better lightning and particle engine. Sharper textures can mean anything, but eventually that is a design decision and a matter of taste but no indication for a benchmark. (In fact, it is more "expensive" to do proper depth of field and proper motion blur - BTW UC2 has the best depth of field combined with motion blur of most if not any games so far).

You had me at Shinobi. Can't wait to hear more about this.

Blaze9295257d ago
