Nice, the character design isn't so bad afterall, other than the head:body ratio. :lolFunky Papa said:
APB customization is still better IMO, but this seems to come close... now that I think about it both games are awfully similar, no?
Will be getting both on PC, hopefully their release dates are well apart from on another..

Well, let's wait till they think it's ready for the internets.
It's been removed

Some of my impression from the live-demo at Quakecon:
The developer who was on hand to present it asked people not to record the video, not that that necessarily means it won't makes it way to the internet anyway. But it didn't sound like anyone was going to stream it.
It looked pretty awesome, by the way. From what I saw, it's like a combination of Mirror's Edge and Team Fortress 2 with some RPG-ness added in. Basically, it's a squad shooter with you and several other squadmates doing missions all throughout a level [you can play single player or online with up to seven people]. There are classes, like engineer, a scout/infiltrator class, soldier, and so on, with each one having a certain advantage that aids in completing the various missions. At any given point there are about six or seven open missions that need to be completed, such as "Gather intelligence by interrogating any enemy" or "Repair the crane" or "Destroy a barrier" that you can perform for experience points, though they didn't really go in-depth about what experience points do for you.
There's also a lot of character customization, similar to what you can do in RPG with various clothes styles, tattoos, headhear, body types and so on.
There's two different factions, basically the police force and the resistance.
SMART system allows you to use the "Sprint" button to climb over obstacles, pull yourself over ledges, and slide under things or slide into cover. This looked to be implement really smoothly, with no glitches and good detection. Nothing was canned, it was all on-the-fly and worked wherever the player wanted to use it.
Graphics were really clean and high-quality, though some of the animations looked a bit stiff.
Classes can be changed at command posts scattered throughout the level. Also at command posts, you can pick up new sets of weapons to better compliment the different classes.

this honestly sounds like the next big thing in shooters
i dont think cs, tf2, left 4 dead, call of duty, battlefield or halo will ever die but it really is refreshing to something new
the mirrors edge stuff in particularly sounds amazing
splash damage are also one of the best fps devs in the game and they have been since wolfenstein enemy territory

The TF2 class shifting was pretty kind of neat, makes it easier to jump from one objective to the next when something needs to get done quick and everyone else is occupied elsewhere.
The Mirror's Edge stuff was really awesome, though. It looked fluid too and I didn't notice any moments where the game failed to detect a ledge or jumpable objects. This is something that I really hope catches on in more FPS games. Too often, you're trying to jump over some obstacle but you keep missing the edge by mere inches. This looks like it eliminates a lot of that frustration.

I think Brink is going to be one of the best games of 2010 and it amazes me that it doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar.

Any videos of this "SMART" movement in action? I've been waiting for something like that in FPS's.
Does it have a cover system as well?

Don't think so, just the movement stuff.Liara T'Soni said:

People shot some videos at PAX but Bethesda has been really diligent about getting them removed from Youtube. And I can't remember if it has a cover system or not.Liara T'Soni said:

New Cinematic trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHF2eB9_AnQ&feature=player_embedded
There were some cheesy moments but a fun trailer.
No new release date other than the Fall 2010.
Is this game going to have any RPG elements like Borderlands or is it just a straight up FPS?
EDIT: Oops, just saw that there is a new thread for the trailer, my bad.

Any updates on this game? Seems so under the radar.
