Came accross the announcements for this game today. It's a FPS being produced by Splash Damage, creators of the Enemy Territory games and will be published by Bethesda, the makers of the Elder Scroll series and Fallout 3.
The Ark
The game is set in a place called the Ark, a floating city built as a prototype for the perfect city. It was built to house 5000 people, but because of the rise of the worlds oceans it now has to house about 50000 people seeking refuge there. Obviously this will cause a lot of problems like shortages in supplies, stuff breaking down, etc.
In other words; a post apocolyptic setting with a futuristic feel to it, similar to games like HL2 and Fallout 3.
Promising
BRINK is said to blur the line between online and offline play. Not much detail is given about that ambitious goal, but a multiplayer experience in a world like that sounds very promising.
In an article on the Bethesda site [1] it is said that..
Quote:
Brink is an immersive shooter that blends single-player, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay into one seamless experience, allowing you to develop your character across all modes of play. You decide the role you want to assume in the world of Brink as you fight to save yourself and mankind’s last refuge for humanity.
Overall it sounds like the game has a lot of similarities to Fallout. Combined with the described multiplayer gameplay this should make for a very good game.
The 'free choice' approach to that has been shown before by Bethesda is great in my opinion. In other games you sometimes have to grind your teeth and just take it when some game character is being rude to you. In games like this you can just reply kindly with a sawed off shotgun..
Release
The game is set for release in the spring of 2010. It will come out for the PC, XBOX360 and the PS3. A teaser video for the game has been released at E3.. You can view it on the BRINK game official website.
