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.

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. :thumbsup:

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.
