http://forums.warchestgames.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3960&d=1353632651 give us some more details pls :$ 17/18 months have gone by since you started working on the game. I wish we could some alpha gameplay videos.

YAY. Screw alpha, I want it now :D

SD is making Half Life 3!!!

Aw man =( that means it's going to be another 10 years before we see another SD game.

Nuclear tri-force. Called it.

SD: no annoncement yet because our Bureau is under radioactive leak which made more of our staff turned into zombies..Ruuunnnnnn! :D

Its enemy territory meets mario kart.

I assume that's the date of the announcement rather than the game itself!? Chernobyl Attack Rabbits?

Ideally (but unlikely): Brink 2 Acceptable : Shooter, RPG, or Strategy based game Slap to the face : Racing Game

Rad symbol, RAD Soldiers Tactical Squad Action for Free <= RAD:Enemy Territory :D

Slap to the face : Racing Game

Are you telling me that racing in Armadillos wasn't fun in ET:QW?

Bunch of cheerleaders

Quennie! Good to see you're still around. I cannot agree with the "ideally" being in the same sentence with the "Brink". Though I was not playing it at all, so I'm maybe missing something, anyway I was really trying hard to make myself want Brink... I just could not: looking at what is in the bundle, hearing that it was already abandoned by ppl and that it have the VOIP off by default, so you can basically talk to the walls and don't even know it. Anyway - why would it not be "ideally" with the "ETQW" or "ET"? These games were fantastic, if not counting "lags", bugs and overall careless finish. About the racing game - don't even say that... Best regards + have a good day! Falcon.PL

Well, the announcement clashes with my sleep. You could watch it mid lecture. Doing so in my dreams would be... ahem.

Buddy i think you got me confused. im a dude. I said ideally brink because me being naive as I am, i believe that all those mistakes they made in brink 1 they would not make in a sequel. and i just hate the racing genre, but thats just me

My bet - AAA RAD soldiers

An online FPS? No, it will be a racing mmo game with jump 'n run elements. Wtf do you think guys, really? :D

Woot ! A new ET:QW ?! Brink 2 ?! Wolfenstein in a new " line of time " ?! Can't wait 5 more days...

almost my Birthday date just 1 month earlier 12:29 :penguin:

Ya'll are all obviously wrong, SD is bringing back the golden age of side-scroller beat 'em up games.

Not so many comments about this announcement on major game sites, but still u can see what regular users think about splash damage and there games. (im not trying to say its good or bad, its just comments). 1) "I felt like I was one of the only people in the world that actually enjoyed Brink, but even I could see the game was plagued by a mess of issues. What it did well, it could have done better. What it did badly killed the game. What it did best however, was have a clear sense of identity. One of the most distinct and interesting looking games this generation. And for all the problems the game had, it left no doubt in my mind that a sequel could be one of the greatest multiplayer FPS games ever. Still I wonder if Brink did well enough to justify a sequel. That radioactive symbol is also quite vague, does it have any significance to anyone?" 2) "We we can almost certainly know something… that it’ll be published by Bethesda with an announce date like that!" 3) "They’ve got the coding duties for RAGE 2. ZING! (Not really)" 4) "Brink, NEVER FORGET… Also, punny title" 5) "self-published F2P shooter. calling it" 6) "I was so hot on Splash Damage until I played Brink. What a huge drop in quality. I hope they go back to their roots and make a solid competitive shooter." 7) "Doing the PC version of RAGE 2?" 8) "just hoping its not goin to be broken as brink" 9) "Yeah me too, i was excited the first time i saw info about Brink..but we all know what happend to it :/" 10) "I had purchased Brink a year ago and i played it 1-2 times it was waste of money for me.I hope to see something better" 11) "brink 2? no thanks" 12) "brink 2? could be a good game if they work on it more" 13) "hmmmm, this could be interesting. id love to see a new IP with the same elements and ideas of brink. it was actually a really good idea had some good concepts in it, it just does not suit a MP environment. think the gameplay mechanics of brink in the hostile environment and man eating plants of bulletstorm! now that would be SWEET! or even a open world game like just cause but with the parkour free running system of brink. think of it, teams of enemies racing across rooftops firing rocket launchers at each other epic!" 14) "...I love Brink. This is cool news..."

well it will be free to play. the community manager wrote it to me some months ago

Hi there, Thanks for emailing! Afraid we can’t reveal too much about our unannounced title yet. I can tell you that it’s a PC-exclusive game and that it will be free to download and play. We’re huge fans of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and we’ll continue to build on the mechanics we established in ET all those years ago. Kind regards, Steve

No, no, it's ok, don't bother. It's kinda strange though, that I haven't read something like that somewhere in this forum before. But then again I haven't read every thread and post here. Maybe there was some kind of F2P announcement in the ET forums wich I never read, since I haven't played either ET games. PS: Woul've liked to play QW:ET, but totally forget about the game until I bought Brink and registered here. I've read an article in a gaming mag long before QW:ET's launch, but never heard of it's actual release until I've registered here. Very sad. Don't know who QW:ET'S publisher was, but he did a very poor job.

I'm just glad these guys are still independent and in the business, delivering goodies for us. A team based shooter that revards skilled aimers and teamplayers, is my preference. Hoping for something along those lines. Take your time, SD, and go for quality.

no, its not better, "free-2-play" is only a word, its good then u talk about old game that go F2P, cos there is no reason to sell it for 15$ or 5$. Team Fortress 2 and Quake live is a good example. If game is F2P from the start, its more like, "Yes u can play free, but if u pay $ u will have more XP, more weapons, better armor and etc." For a last year i played sum of the F2P games: 1) C&C:Tiberium alliances - Pay money and your progress will be like +100%. 2) Settlers online - same as C&C. 3) Firefall - Pay 20$ and u will get instant access to beta +5% xp forever, 50$ - and u get 10% XP, 100$ - epic bike, poster and 15% xp boost forever. So in the end its like a - U can play for free but u have to grind like an idiot, wasting your time, cos if u dont u suck. Or pay, but if u start paying u will give away much more then 50$.

Right and not right. First, it totally depends if the game's publisher is a greedy SOB, or a reasonable guy. Second, there are games wich cost you 50 bucks for the base game, 15 bucks a month just for playing them online and further cash for extra goodies(wich is like retail market cobbled with a F2P system) Blacklight and Gotham City Impostors for example are easy to play even if you pay nada. And look at the DLC market. Now every game comes out with the DLC in mind, or with preorder bonus. That's not exactly F2P, but you never get the full game either. So F2P spares you the cash for the base game, and as long as you have a reasonable publisher you won't pay much more than 50$ or € in the end. If I see a publisher is a greedy prick then he can play his game for himself. In the end he's depending on the customer, not the other way around. There are too many games out there. If someone confuses me with the proverbial "cash-cow" I give him the literal go "F" yourself.

I have to agree with your points, F2P can be a much better option then all this DLC and preorder bonus crap. But Bethesda as a reasonable publisher? After RAGE and Brink?

But the thing is, SD isn't Bethesda anymore. Future games will be published by Warchest and SD.

Just googled Warchest and didn't found much aside from this, wich is basically this site here. http://www.warchestgames.com/ http://www.warchestgames.com/contact Below the name Warchest is written "Free Multiplayer Games". My guess is that Warchest is SD itself. Just the name for their publishing section. Address and all is the same and the guys on the pic are also from SD. So, no evil Bethesda.

Thousands of ninjas are crying when you say that. Those are samurai weapons.

Anyone wonder why there are suddenly so much members active on this forum? :wink:

Like you haven't been waiting for the announcement of the announcement trailer to the teaser reveal of SDs next project as announced nearly a year ago? :) (this joke was originally started by Ashog, I am under strict penalty of law to note this each time I use or make use of a variant said joke. All rights reserved) :D So that said, I'm going to hazard a guess that they came to see if SD had posted any more hints on the forum. I know I'm going to be disappointed if those who've hung around here for some time are still playing second fiddle to the mainstream gaming press. We deserve a little inside scoop once in a while and it certainly wouldn't hurt SD to get more people visiting their website rather than some gaming blog that will move onto another story.

Hoping for ET : Resurrection .

Full-contact 3-D Post Apocalyptic Zombie Chess!

:D Hahaha zombie chess sounds so stupid and good at the same time.

I still think their is something hidden in the "secret game teaser", at this point i didn't find nothing. What's with the congruent cubes? Is their an optical illusion? A stereogram? As i looked to the left side of the whole picture i could swear i saw a blurred face. (weed effect? :D) Is there something that i don't see? I bet my WarChest account their is , but it seems i don't fully grasp it at the moment. :D

-3 days ! zomg !!!

Omg, forget the anticipation! On the fourth slide picture is the answer > "rad soldiers - coming soon to iPhone and iPad" A game I'll never play, no matter on which platform I hate cartoon game skins :mad:

If they don't announce anything for pc, I'm done with pc fps gaming. SD is my last hope for a proper fps ... Street fighter has been good to me since qw ended.

I don't think so, the logo is not consistent with the Rad Soldiers style, not cartoony enough. After all the community questions, I really do hope they've opted for a PC based fps. QW is running on the nails of the toes of its last legs... And Brink was just a Donnie Darko-esque alternate reality as far as I'm concerned. Time to get back to this one and deliver the game Brink should've been. With considerably less death by falling jet engines I hope.

Agreed. If they announce nothing for PC I'm starting a knitting and tea drinking club.

But how will you snipe then!?

I'll, I'll find a way to overcome the desire. Hopefully. If not I'll down my depression with a bottle of Cookies and Cream flavoured vodka.

What if it's actually the release date. Everyone is only hoping for an announcement of the new game but then BAM. New game release. That would be unexpected and awesome.

Brink II - here you go. Now you can walk on the ceiling and jump on the pony-shaped clouds, which actually works as a vehicles and can attack land-targets with the pink rain, producing rainbow as a side effect. It's not only about how fast you release ;-).
