Written by badman on 30 November, 2009 - 23:44 | Tagged
The very first official Brink footage is now available online at G4 TV's website, offering a first glimpse at the world of Ark. In the video, Game Director Paul 'Locki' Wedgwood walks and talks us through the freedom of movement offered by Brink's SMART system and shows off some of the things that are possible with it, all set within the Ark's abandoned airport.
Keep an eye out for more videos later in the week. If you're in the US, you can catch additional telly coverage throughout the week on G4TV's X-Play. Check your local listings for more information on that.
Anyway, enough talk - go browse over to G4TV.com to watch the video!

...waiting for whining to begin
I have never liked round crosshairs in shooters, a few options to change that would be great(I play on Xbox

Anyway looks cool so far, I'm not really into the SMART stuff, prefer to move myself and I also wonder how the SMART works when you don't run up to things, like stand just under it and want to slide, or you decide that you want to do a 180 when you jump off the balcony, or start climbing ontop of something and then want to let go before you reach the top, etc....
So can't wait for a more detailed trailer or the release (just try it myself
Can't wait until we get some vid of it with some more going on.

I'd say it's unfortunate they aren't going to meet their original deadline. I do appreciate they've put it out there now rather than wait until Apr/May 2010.
Here's hoping the extra time they use to work on the main game also allows some more smaller features to be completed and slipped into the build.
Oh I nearly forgot. Nice footage! Love the part with the flying guy behind the wall.
characters looks awesome, myriads of variations.
At 00:57, love the way it fades from vision to reality.
Smooth movement, indeed. What will a pub game look like with players jumping around? "Only time will tell."
I see Fall, not Spring
Basically you said you have console, so I'm just wondering can you change Field of View and the Bobbing. Cod MW 2 has a serious problem with the FOV. You have tunnel vision. I hope this can be changed. I had tunnel vision watching the demo. Next would be the "bobbing" can you disable it by console also? Bobbing is awful in any game. Just another useless distraction... Atleast can you take off draw gun?
Other then that the game looked pretty cool. Its not fully developed, but the game / demo seemed a bit choppy like the FPS were lowl. I could only image how it would look and feel with alot more players playing online in battle.
Weapons looked cool, so did the textures of the maps. Had a team fortress 2 visual which is awesome.
Thanks.
..sooo looking forward to this title! \o/
edit:
ouch. it's now been confirmed by bethesda that brink's been delayed 'til fall 2010. now that was a punch in the face on what started as the best brink day in quite awhile. now it's the worst
I hope this constant use of Iron Sight does not mean your accuracy is like CoD

I don't mind the delay as long as it means we will get to see a finished and polished product.

Only worrying thing is the green **** flashing off targets after you hit them. this video immediately came to mind.
It would have been nice to see what all that movement looked like from another player's perspective.
I don't like the look of the xp flashing up. This would be good in multiplayer but please don't put it in single player.
Huge props to the sound guys... it's amazing! It all looks great too, really amazing stuff, glad there's finally some footage.
