Bethesda Softworks Announces Earlier Release Date for Brink
Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced that its acclaimed first-person shooter, Brink, will be available one week EARLIER than originally scheduled. Brink will now first be available for purchase in North America on May 10th instead of May 17th, and in Europe on May 13th instead of May 20th.
“Production wrapped on Brink earlier than we planned and we didn’t see any reason to keep gamers from getting their hands on this highly anticipated game as soon as it was ready,” said Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing for Bethesda Softworks. “It’s apparent from the tremendous reaction so far that people are eager to jump online and play, and if we can make that happen earlier – we’re going to.”
Brink, an immersive first-person shooter under development at Splash Damage, a studio celebrated for its multi-player expertise, was named as the ‘Game of Show’ at Eurogamer Expo 2010, while G4TV.com declared “Brink takes shooters to a whole new level” and Destructoid.com proclaimed “it’s going to be one of the standout shooters of the year.” Blending single-player, co-op, and multiplayer action into one seamless experience, Brink features dynamic battlefields, extensive customization options, and an innovative control system. Brink will be released for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows.
Hell yeah! 28 days to go.

man i dont wanna wait that long!
Is it safe to say
Theyve done this for hype, so they csn say “It’s on the brink of release”?
I think
they set a release date then added a week just so they wouldn’t have to push it back, if they had any problems they would have a week up their sleeves.
Also gamers would look kindly on them by bringing it out a week early.
OMG
they read my letters :D

It’s already smashing Homefront out of the park!
Interesting to see if it’s still gunna have punkbuster & VAC? Personally while VAC is good cause it logs to steam, I find Punkbuster to be alot more comprehensive, dilliegent and ultimately better! (I don’t think I’ve ever seen VAC do anything along the lines of “kick/ban” just simply threaten on game startup!)
Also, I’d just like to point out that while steamworks is great in terms of applying achievements (good) the VoIP and the overall way it interacts with games is UGLY, clunky and detracts from the overall game! (bad) the closest I’ve seen to getting this right is L4D but that still leaves a heap to be desired!
More to follow but not from this godforsaken phone (and fat fingers)
its vac
which has completely failed lately in Homefront and crysis 2 multiplayer, so unless splash damage puts some protection in, we will have fuckbags killing things untill they see the next shiney new thing to go ruin. Good news though its only going to take 16 ipx’ers to fill a whole server, so then we’ll only have deadite runnig around with hacks
pretty boy
hacks that is
umm
what about you limpet?
It’s been clearly stated that you hacks as well.
And you
Too Matt
There is a lot to be said for being shit! No one can every claim hax upon you!
me
, never been accused, never, really, never. ok maybe.
Must say I hate getting accused, it has nothing to do with the 1200 hours i put into qw;et, 700hrs in bfbc2, played computers games since the atrai400 with tape deck drive, yes must be hacking, he shot me.
would love if vac or punkbuster was foolproof and there was no doubt when you are playing.
nah nothing to do with that limpy,
must be hax. plus deadite and I hack according to goto and rosie
Apparently
Portal 2 is preloading for people – release date is next Wednesday!
So maybe brink MIGHT preloaded!
I think l4d did preloaded the best, you could
Even “start” the game and see the intro, but couldn’t click any menus to start the game!
Hope brink does too!
