I was watching the NCAA tournament where the Boilermakers and Buckeyes are doing great and I came across this commercial for a new game called Brink. At first it appeared to be just another ho hum game and then I realized it is a Bethesda game by Splash Damage. You might recognize Splash damage as they created Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and the popular one for the lan Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. So I went to the game website and dug a little deeper and found this game to be a vamped up team based first person shooter. It allows free movement, character customization, single player, cooperative, online multiplayer and has all sorts of classes. They are also promoting a new function called the SMART button that allows to jump, slide and do all sorts of things to get to different areas or to avoid gunfire. The game does look a little cartoonish but not as much as TF2. The website link is posted below so let me know your thoughts. Upon watching the video you can differentiate between teams by looking at their pants.

Damn that game looks pretty good. It's also developed by Bethesda which in itself tells you it's going to be a good game + rep for introducing me it's something I will be following.

thats exactly what I thought, i got hours of play out of fallout3 and always loved bethesda

 

[flashbulb]

looks like the controls are gonna be a pain unless they do something really amazing

 

[Xiorath]

been waiting for this for awhile

 

[downlinx]

Xiorath,
I wish i could say the same thing as i just saw it but i cant wait for it to hit the stores. The more of this game i see, i see aspects of fallout 3, tf2(ideas not aspects), and mirrors edge.
I only hope is it lives up to the hype.

The freerunning controls are really interesting, point where you want to go, push a button, and run twoards it. the program does the rest, its really cool.

No, it's being developed by Splash Damage, the developers of the Enemy Territory franchise. While Bethesda has signed a deal with them, they do not own SD.

Touche!

EDIT: And I know it is not being developed by them, I actually mis-spoke. TYPICALLY anything Bethesda has involvement in is pretty good however.
