Nutshell hard to do lots to say.

All collected info on Brink. A really big nut but once cracked you will know exactly what Brink is about.

Don't you have to go through either the Splash Damage or the Bethesda site to get to these forums? How do people manage to get all the way to these forums, make an account, and then post without even googleing the game? :banghead:

The bare Minimum would be that this is going to be a FPS game with intuitive parkour controls, extreme customization, immersive missions, and RPG elements. If you want to know more, read the compendium that wraith linked

I guess this topic will be locked. (Which is a good thing, it's really annoying for regular visitors to see the same topics over and over again, not to mention people asking "What is this game, because I have no clue")

Please search ATLEAST the basics of the game before posting. How hard can it be to type "Brink" on google or youtube.
Or just look at the discussions we have.

I think "different" describes it very well. It's not necessarily "awesome" or "unique", but definately "different". But not in a niche-like way.
