In case you were wondering how excited the developers of Brink are for their upcoming shooter to hit the market, the answer is "lots."

In the third developer diary for the upcoming shooter, the team at Splash Damage discuss how Brink will finally blur the lines between online gaming and offline gaming. This will be done, they explain, by having one character that carries over through both modes of play.

Brink is set to launch next spring. For more coverage makes sure to read our hands-on preview of the game from QuakeCon 2010.

Hard to tell from the video, but the hit feedback and third person player animations seem very weak in this. Those were two issues I had with ETQW so hopefully it's improved or this video is not representative.

And now I have to say that anyone that has watched this video and says this game looks stupid should be admitted to an asylum as quickly as possible, as they are obviously dangerous pshycopaths that could go on a blind killing spree at any moment. They would also not have any taste in FPS's, at all.

Didn't both Borderlands and Titan Quest do this exact thing? What else are they doing to blur the lines between offline and online gaming?

The way they presented this was kinda cheap. So your story differs from everyone else's because of the way you shoot the enemies? ("Experience the combat"...)

Its like one of these action toy advertisements that tell you THERE ARE ENDLESS ADVENTURES TO BE HAD, THE FUN NEVER STOPS, THE STORIES YOU CAN EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ARE JUST LIMITED BY YOUR IMAGINATION blah blah, while in reality its an action figure that can't even move its limbs properly. At least that how it seemed.

I have faith in Splash Damage.

While I didn't like ET: Quake Wars that much, their presentation, polish, and innovative features are pretty high up there.

(They get a LOT of cred for Wolf: ET, too!)
