Okay, so... if you've been like me and have nearly broken the pause/play button on SD's latest brink video looking for juicy bits, you've probably noticed some quick flashes of new - or at least noteworthy - customization options.
If you haven't, here's some interesting things I picked up on:

http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/3774/roundup01.pngI wonder if the other parts of the archetype can be as well?

http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/8950/roundup02.png If so, will go well with your angsty light operative whose favorite band is Dashboard Confessional.

http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/7841/roudup04.png If we've been shown this face archetype before, I don't recall it being in this much detail. Also, "The Wrestler" handlebar mustache and a neat stocking cap.

http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/479/roudup05.png This may create an optical illusion for the wankers with scoped rifles, the head looks like an impossibly small target in that thing.

http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8766/roudup06.png Looks less like a sissy operative when a real man's wearing the stuff. Also, wicked chops.

http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/5729/roundup12.png I don't recall seeing this archetype before. I'd have to say this might just be my new favorite Resistance body wear.

http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/1658/roundup13.png Looks like you guys that wanted a chin beard have nothing to worry about. Also, what's that jacket he's wearing?

http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/558/roundup14.png Looks like the combine from half-life.

Nice.

Half these things I didn't even notice . I've already decided on the psycho look for my medium medic, but I may just make a heavy with the bomb helmetless as a secondary character...

Thats exactly what I said in another thread





Or a perfect frame for a shot, like a big round target!

I think the sloani mask is actually "the look" mask in white...

Nope, they may look similar from a distance, but where The Look is basically a ski mask with holes for the eyes/mouth, the Sloani is more of a gas mask, and none of the wearer's face is really visible.

Oops, I was thinking of The Freak. I guess the only difference is the mouth. The Sloani has a gas mask time breather, and The Look has 2 big... I Don't know... Rivets?

damn i can get lost in the customization for this game, got to make toons for each different class (though i will use whatever class is needed to win a match.)

Definitely. I think a lot of people are having a tough time breaking free from the concept of your average RPG-esque character creation, where faction and class are fixed.

I saw the perfect head-gear for a Medic (the soldier that blows up the three in the end). That one is my favorite head-gear so far. :biggrin:

not really going to isolate myself to one faction, it is just i am going to make my toons look different so that i can make each specifically for a certain class, i just role like that for some reason...


i do like "the Lost" jacket, though it might look weird with the psycho mask....

I like this one. I actually might use this!

Oh me too, I love customising! I cant wait to make my crazy team of 16!

i hear ya

Looks more like Riddike-Goggles.


Exactly my thought.

Very nice post, I was waiting for someone to do this

This is some good work. Thanks.

So jus wondering, can you create two different characters on both Resistance or the Po-Po lol??? An play whichever one you feel like playing that day?

Even better. Each character has a different look for resistance and security, and can go back and forth between sides whenever they want. The only difference between the two sides is the looks and missions for each map, so your character has the same build and weapons regardless of faction.

havnt been on teh official site in months glad they cam out with a new video. wish they would show more of the SMART instead of all teh gameplay (just lil less gmae play more SMARTing) this could be a Commercial O_O and yeah customization looks solid. Can't wait.

If you look at the side menu theirs an archtype called "The cannibul" this is my first tiem eharing about this archtype (i think) anyone ever heard bout this b4?

Good find, keen for The Tank! Also, did anybody else notice in the Beatnik Facial hair link that his gloves are different colors in the two shots?

Hey, nice find I didn't see that.

And thats why tear gas grenades will still be effective on people using the goggles.

Oh btw the ''neat stocking hat'' is the DOOM pack UAC hat for the Security.

WORD! It's definitely ON come May 17th!!!

Crap. I knew The Lost jacket would be popular, but I didn't want it to become the new The Anger hoodie! Now I'm mainstream! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo~

Oh well, I'm using it anyway.
