Brink Gets Its Dev Diary On
Written Tuesday, August 10, 2010 By Dan Webb

Ever since Splash Damage and Bethesda delayed their first-person shooter at this year's E3, the spring 2011 shooter, Brink, has ducked out of the limelight ever so slightly.

Today however, the British developer returns with their latest dev diary, where the team explores the game's premise and how that will play into the escalating combat.

"We wanted to make it so it wasn't just hero cops versus evil terrorists, because that's boring," said Brink's Lead Writer, Edward Stern, "And we didn't want to make it heroic freedom fighters up against the evil oppressive forces, because that's always boring and it's not how the world is. No-one thinks they're wrong. Nobody says "Yup, I'm evil. I oppress. That's pretty much all I do.""

The team in this latest dev diary explores this dynamic between the Ark's two opposing factions, as they both think they're in the right, as so often the case is with conflicts of this nature. Like Stern says, "No-one thinks they're wrong."

Brink will be one of the many titles on show for Bethesda at this year's Gamescom, so keep your ears close to the ground for our updated opinions on how the title is now shaping up. After our ever so disappointing hands-on at E3, here's hoping they've turned a corner and the title is back on the track.

I'm still not wholeheartedly sure if this will be a good or bad game...

Looks like one of those games that from everything you see might be completely amazing, but also bad controls or clunky aim will ruin it. Hopefully it'll play like all the videos I've seen because it looks like a blast!

man this game keeps looking amazing in my eyes, too bad it's delayed until 2011, but the more polished the better right?

Can't. wait.

Looking good so far, wondering if it will be like Borderlands with better graphics. I have been following this game for a little while, hopefully they make good with their promises unlike Lion Head did with Fable I and II.

@#9 - I was digging it all the way up until E3. Hopefully our Gamescom experience is a lot more positive and we can come back with good news.

I'm still a wanting this badly. Even though it was delayed and didnt get the best review here it just sticks out for me.

With the free running mixed in with FPS feel and the borderlands look and coop about it, I think it'll come back from the ashes and be an amazing game.

I'll spend my hard earned cash on this now if it came out but more so that they're spending more time on it!

Can't wait, its either going to be great. Or a huge disappointment. Let's hope they can pull it off, and the controls aren't horrible.

Well I'm glad they decided to delay the game. The last few frames show a couple guys running up a ramp, their feet weren't even touching the ramp and the motion wasn't even accurate. Speaking of guys running, you mean to say there are no woman fighters in the future? Seems like they many have more issues than not enough water or energy. lol Anyway, looks like a good concept and I look forward to playing it once it's polished up a bit more.
