UK shooter specialist Splash Damage has told Eurogamer it's already mapped out two sequels for sci-fi FPS Brink ~ www.eurogamer.net

Lol. I've mapped out plans to have a threeway with Beyonce and Shakira.

LMMFAO

I just see old articles about it. Brink is a great game, but I can't imagine that they held onto enough fans for a sequel.

Kind of win, I'm afraid.

Might turn out to be Beth Ditto and Courtney Love though.

Even that would be more likely to happen than a Brink trilogy. At this point in time i reckon they'd struggle to sell 3 map packs.

Another hater. Surprising? Not at all. As has been said before, there have been far worse games, legitimately BAD games, that have seen 2nd, 3rd and 4th installments. All comments like yours does is show how much you really lack much in the realm of...I dunno...a life. If you don't think Brink will do well in the future, why stick around? Oh wait, to satisfy the need for attention you must not get in real life. I gotcha'.

Dude. He's being a realist. His comments are based off of the relatively bad track record this game has so far. (Buggy launch. Delays on DLC. Changes so that now it's only temporarily free.)
You're the one hating, in which I suggest you be quiet if you have to attack someone else on a personal level.

Wow, I must have a misconception on what being a "realist" is then. His comment sounded hella' opinionated to me. Fact of the matter is only by the standards of comparing Brink to the high profile FPS games on the market did it "do poorly". But in the grand scheme of things, it didn't. But people don't pay attention to the grand scheme, they pay attention to what they see and read. I wish I could find the sales numbers of Brink compared to the other low profile FPS releases this year (Homefront, Crysis 2, etc). Without a doubt Brink did and continues to do better then both, as well as others. But because it didn't do BF/CoD numbers, it's a flop? Please. That's ignorance in every sense of the word. And I call out ignorance when I see it.

Yes. Its all true. I admit it. If only i liked what you like. Think of the fun we could have. Being awesum. Licking windows together.

Really? That's the best you can come up with? I'm not even going to dignify your stupidity with a worthwhile response. But thanks for proving my point about you being a trolling loser. Oh, and enjoy your stay on my ignore list.

Opinions are unavoidable. What you're saying now is an opinion. What i'm saying is an opinion.
My opinion, Homefront and Crysis 2 were not low profile FPS', Homefront had some insane advertisemant. (Marching Korean look-a-like troops through E3.) And it is pretty much known by everyone I've talked to, and they've had an opinion on it or heard about it. Crysis 2 as well, though perhaps not as large other FPS series, it is known and followed. (I can't talk on sales figures, but I suspect Crysis 2 and Brink probably sold somewhere around the same.) And yes, you're right, as for a sales number Brink is not a flop. However on a technical level, and a support level, it's a massive flop. Barely anyone plays it after 2 months anymore, it's all the same people now. The game is pretty much ignored and uncared about.

I would consider it a flop on those accounts, not just on sales numbers. (Because in the long run, initial sales numbers mean little if they stop quickly and have a massive amount of returns and buybacks.) Me? Personally? I don't see a Brink trilogy either, and I will honestly be amazed if a Brink 2 comes out. But then, I know i'm not going to buy it if it does.

Brink wasn't a flop for the producers and publishers. It was a flop for the gamers who actually bought the game. Sure it sold a good amount of copies, but have you even looked at the amount of people playing nowadays? It's quite pathetic.

Is that based on the assumption that SD won't learn from their mistakes and repeat them in the sequel? I find that to be unlikely as most sequels improve and refine the game in part from community feedback. Maybe your just not a fan. Do you want to see this game improve or do you want it to crash and burn in flames so you can say "see, I was right!"? Granted that SD could have done a better job as developers but what is really hurting the prospects of any sequel are the "fans" who talk and spread so much [censored] about this game that it discourages any potential new players from picking it up.

But hopefully we won't have to wait for a sequel to see improvements to Brink as long as SD continue to listen to the communities constructive feedback and support the game through patches when needed as well as adding more content along the way via DLC.... then Brink might grow into the game that some think were withheld from them from the beginning.

But that's the problem, we're not getting any feedback. No determined dates or good faith in what they say. (Now it's only two weeks free?) You know, at this rate I expect them to go, "Oh, did we say a new Brink game? Haha, we only meant a moderate expansion back for fourty bucks. Kinda like Dragon Age Origins did, ooh, but it's only thirty bucks for the first two weeks. Act quickly." It's just discouraging for me as a player to give these guys any kind of slack.

And no, i'm not going to tell my friends to pick up this game. I don't want them to waste their money on stuff they won't like and isn't worth the price. (I tried like all hell to stop anyone from picking up Black Ops.) I tell them the honest truth and don't recommend it. Yes, it's fun, yes, it can keep you entertained. But on a techy level, it's bad, and it has a few nuances that will drive you up the wall. Wait 'til it's cheap, or ignore it and go for the (going to be) [censored] awesome co-op modes of mw3, or the other new shooters just around the bend.

When this game improves, and when some more substantial content is released, I'll let all my friends know it's better and worth playing. But for now, it's not really worth the trouble.

I can imagine a Brink 2 as, basically, a reboot to deliver what they promised or better. But a TRILOGY? I highly doubt that. They made decent money on Brink, Brink 2 is a definite possibility.

It's just a matter of winning over the jilted fans and the bad reviewers from there.

Awww come on bro, dont play out like that. Dude. Bro. Broseph. Brosepher. Brosepheriny. I thought we were gonna be like super awesum bros an everything. Dude. I am genuinely hurt. : (

Brochacho, bromigo, Brohammad Ali, Broseidon, Lord of the Brocean, Brohemian Rhapsody, Hulk Brogan.

I personally got really amped for this game and yes i do enjoy playing it so i would probably purchase Brink 2 as long as SD get their act together and start telling us stuff.
They started well with info and videos but now that it is DLC time what have we had? 4 pictures... great
On the topic of sequels i think they need to introduce more game modes like TDM in order to make the game more enjoyable to larger audience. i know brink is an Objective based shooter but isnt there a way we can other game modes? doing the same game mode all the time gets boring even with the very intricate maps and various play styles.

I realize that SD, Bethesda, whomever is responsible have been clumsy from a PR perspective, I get that. I know they keep moving the goal post and how frustrating it is for us consumers. In reality, it has only served to further irritate an already anxious community. But it's not like we were completely left in the dark, granted it does feel like they are jerking our chain a little. They have given us announcements, they have given us patches, they have given us updates on the status of the DLC and the next patch. I know it is a hard wait but SD have not been as silent as you make out. We will get the DLC soon and the patches that come with it and this will all be a learning experience for SD or so I should hope.

...But for all the legitimate problems Brink has, I've heard so many undertones of contempt and downright toxic hatred between their lines of text that I'm convinced these people just hate the game. Period. That's OK because everyone is entitled to their opinion but don't masqerade yourself as a fan if that's the case. I've read enough topics that read, "I love Brink, I really do" but then proceed to [censored]storm and bash the game with extreme prejudice.

You know what they say about this game.... you either love it or you hate it. So which is it.... really?

Me? I love it, and I hate it. I love it's gameplay. I hate it's A.I.. I love it's idea. I hate it's execution. I love it's world. I hate how little of it there is. I love to run into the mix of battle and revive a team mate, or revive the hostage before pushing back a few enemies. I hate it when the other team spawn camps, or becomes instantly super good and two guys can crush your entire team with their stupid auto-aiming that hit's stupid amounts of good. I love the movement. I hate seeing the movement, it looks pretty jerky, and the animations are boring. I love the objectives. I hate the restrictions on how to get to and do them. I love the weapons when they work, but I hate how inconsistent they can feel. I love playing games ccooperatively, there isn't anything funner. I HATE how difficult it is to do so with friends. I love the differences this game brings, I hate how redundant they get. I love this games visuals, I hate how low res and crappy some of them look. (Grenades are a joke.) I love the games semi-team focus, I HATE how I can't give someone a heads up I need ammo or health!

I love this game, but damnit at times it just pisses me right off and then I hate it.

Awww, cmon you know you love it. But srsly, I hope this patch and DLC can help tip the scales more toward the lovin for you.

That was the most bipolar comment I have ever read. XD
I can agree to most of it, too.

Well I think that a sequel could certainly make up for the original's flaws. It would be interesting to read literary work concerning Brink and the Ark, this is a world that needs to be developed, embellished, and displayed more publicly.

Chaos Isaac has very very good points about how I can feel at times during the game (although the visual parts of only secondary to my gameplay feelings). But let me add:

I love to run around, shoot, and actually play the game. I hate lagging so bad randomly that I can't even stand still correctly.
