BRINK TV Countdown

[May 08, 2011, 4:28 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Brink TV is counting down to a Tuesday launch in support of BRINK, Splash Damage's first-person shooter that will be released in North America on that day as well. This page outlines a couple of launch events. Word is: "With the founding team behind Quake Live TV and Games Cast TV at its helm, Brink TV is working to gather an experienced roster of top-tier broadcasters, competitive gaming advocates, and community leaders. With this team behind Brink TV, it hopes to produce the most entertaining and in-depth coverage of live Brink competition."

Of course they would show off the console version of the game in their trailers. It's the platform that sells the most. Does that ALWAYS make it the lead SKU for a game? Not at all. I fully expect the PC to be the main SKU for RAGE but most of the videos that I've seen are showing off gameplay from the console version (easily noticeable by the crosshair movement).

Splash Damage said that they originally made Brink PC-only but Bethesda wanted to make it multi-platform. They're also going to release dedicated server files for the PC version. Along with the screenshot that I linked, it seems that Splash Damage is doing a good job (so far) of showing us that they're putting a lot of thought into the PC version and that it was the lead platform.

Of course it could surprise me and end up being a half-assed console port though. I guess we'll find out tomorrow...
