Brink (FPS)

In fact the game requires Steam to play according to direct2drive.

"This product is not eligible for refunds. This title installs and requires STEAM to play."

Also using the code BUNNY in the US, and RABBIT in other places will get you 25% off on direct2drive until Monday. Yay sales. To bad direct2drive has the lamest pre order bonus, but whatever, it's 25% off. :laugh:

25% off do make me want to buy this one, but I have too many doubts about this game to actually purchase it. Gonna maybe get a copy a week after release, just to see how it received among friends and online.

I'm still wondering if I'll be able to handle this on a 2.67 ghz with six gig of ram and two Nvidia 250s.. even though I only use one.

2.67Ghz what, exactly? C2D? C2Q? i5? i7?

Bought that a few nights ago. The pre-order bonuses are all crappy spread across different retailers. I just went for this one because of the 25% discount.

Thanks for the heads up! Just pre-ordered it from Direct2Drive. Never thought I would use D2D for something, but that's a pretty sweet discount indeed. :)

Still not sure how much staying potential this game is going to have, but I'm willing to take a leap of faith with Splash Damage. I'm in the mood for a PC FPS right now anyways (moreover, a PC FPS that isn't TF2 or BC2).

I'm actually flat broke right now so I can't order it, sadly. I will have to wait another week before I can. :cry:

Third tutorial:

I want this game now. :o

[trag3dy]

Should be less than 2 weeks now right?

Also, I don't know if it's been said but apparently we will be able to run our own dedi servers, and for free. First fps game in a long time that's allowed that I think?

And also it will be available for pre load on Steam:

That's probably old news though. Also Steam says it will be available May 9th, not the 10th.

Yep. A lot of games allow you to run your own dedicated servers. Unfortunately, the big titles don't (like Battlefield and Call of Duty). I'm glad the dedicated server is standalone (which means it doesn't require you to have the game).

Also, where does it say it's available on the 9th? It says the 10th for me: http://store.steampowered.com/app/22350/

Right on the web page:

Says that in Steam and on the webpage, too.

Anyhow, we should try to set up a neowin server or something.

[Reacon]

The leader of my clan, intox. Gaming (some of you may know us from CSS and TF2) just informed me that our host will allow us to put a dedicated server for Brink on our box. This got me more hyped than anything :D

Can't wait to see y'all ingame. Add me @ http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/reacon if you want!

It must be US-only then. It says the 10th for me:

EDIT: Actually, it looks like an error. 1 week, 4 days, and 1 hour from now is the 10th, not the 9th.

[Minifig]

Anyone know if I'll be okay with an nVidia 250, 6 gig of ram on a 2.67 gig, i7 machine?

That's more than the recommended, so you'll probably be just fine.

[WastedJoker]

So this is just MP only? SP is like UT against bots?

won't being able to host your own dedi server make cheating more rife?

[gkl]

:(

100 USD for a game delivered digitally? REALLY?!

It's 90 USD and hey, they need to send it all the way to Australia :laugh:

[eviljedi]

The complete opposite in fact. I'm sure there will be many communities with well moderated servers even if VAC fails to catch the cheaters.

It's actually having P2P that makes cheating more rife because there is no way to ban cheaters.

Ah didn't see USD for some reason so I thought it was AUD. But still, 90?! WTF
