I lolled too. Some of them look like post-apocalyptic metrosexuals! the key to being a well-dressed insurgent is ironed pants, plenty of bling and nice accessories!!!

The more screenshots I see the more I like the customization system! PS: Those particle effects in the last screen are pure awesome!

Hoping the debris around the levels looks as good up close as it does from a distance. Will those material riggings/sidings have physics/animation? Levels looks stunning but it'll be heartbreaking to think they are totally static. Of course gameplay video would solve all this. :)

Really doubtful. They're likely to to have big slabs of caulk around them to guarantee a smooth game play (especially when it involves SMART). Just like any stairs in QW are actually invisible ramps so your view doesn't stutter while walking over it. It would be fun in a singleplayer like Crysis has all the interactable debris, just not in a multiplayer game.

Not sure what your point is. I'm saying that I hope the levels aren't static and frozen in time. There is zero reason why the introduction animation/physics on a graphical level would affect gameplay, especially movement.

It affects the amount if data that needs to be transferred over the network though. If stuff falls in your way because of a grenade it needs to be in eveyones way. Nonetheless I don't think you need to worry about that. The explosions and particle effects are bloody amazing. That combined with the awesome sound effects creates one crazy urban battlefield.

I'm not talking about game influencing objects which I agree would need to be synced across all clients. I mean stuff like tarpaulins flapping, signs swinging, debris getting caught in the wind etc. Nothing that would provide cover or even have a physical presence, just that it would bring the level more to life.

Rahdo hinted at it on crossfire.
yeah, i was referring to the chipping away at environment as the thing that's a lot of work. i know the level artists have high hopes already for cloth in the environment, so we'll see how that goes... [url]http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=forum&mode=item&id=24588#comment754361[/url]

Oh right. I was mainly focussing on your physics suggestion. Animations won't be much of a problem. I'm still really wondering who did the clothing design. I showed the pictures to a friend who's studying fashion design and she was amazed by it.

Well when I say physics I just mean in a "pointless but we can do it with PhysX" type stuff, it would introduce some elements of randomness that animation alone can't. Of course it's pretty expensive processing wise but then that is what huge gfx cards are for. :) I wonder if given the positive response whether there will be some of the in game clothes actually spun off into actual clothing lines. Surely someone would pick them up and run with them beyond the usual gamer oriented people. Zenimax need to invest in a sewing machine and a market stall, sorted.

Seriously, I wouldn't mind wearing some of those outfits in public. Even 'BRINK'sounds great as a label. How cool is that? A clothing line from a game that goes beyond T-shirts.

I guess that was the secret plan from the beginning. Game as a promotion for clothing line. :)

Yeah I didn't even realize it. Those muzzle flashes are friggin huge. I certainly didn't notice anything that elaborate in the demo. Those masks are new too though.

Maybe they're actually very short flashes and they just picked those shots for the piccies to emphasise the boom boom aspect.

Compare [url=http://www.splashdamage.com/screens_brink/008.jpg]this[/url] and [url=http://www.splashdamage.com/screens_brink/011.jpg]this[/url]. Don`t you think that daytime is different? Or we are getting fancy "invisible cloud obsuring the sun" system, like in etqw?

Could be different missions (maps) in container city.

Don't worry about the muzzle flare... there's some interesting stuff gameplay and upgrade-wise about them :-)
