Forums - Gaming - Brink was running on PC during the E3 conference

http://xboxevolved.e-mpire.com/article/No_Title/5561.html

As pointed out in my E3 2009 Wrap-Up Article, Brink was easily one of the sexiest games on the show floor. Not only did it show incredible promise by packing in a create-a-player system that looks to set new standards, but it was most noticeable in that it was the only game that appeared to be pushing new graphical boundaries other than Uncharted 2.

While a 360 controller being fed through a wall was in hand for our media demo, I couldn't help but take notice to graphical details - most notably how the game rendered its textures. As a PC gamer myself, it's not too difficult to spot a PC game versus a console one (as I speculated in my E3 Wrap Up article that it was more than likely the PC version of the game) and this game made it rather easy in that it was incredibly similar to the difference that Fallout 3 had in comparison to its console brethren when running on a very high end rig. While I can't confirm it, resolution also appeared to be rather high, but this is more conjecture than verifiable fact.

Alas, we couldn't just take a guess that it was the console version and decided to get the official response from Bethesda. Bethesda's response was short and sweet: "They were running it on PC."

Even so, with Brink looking as good as it did on PC, we have no doubt that this game will shine on consoles much in the same fashion that Fallout 3 did (perhaps even more so) - it just won't be to quite the same level of its PC counterpart if you're packing some serious gaming power, but this shouldn't come to anyone's surprise. We look forward to sharing some console images soon.

Lol. This whole thread lived on a rumor:

I am pretty sure the console version of both the PS3 and the 360 won't equal what we saw of the PC version yet.



Lmao nice man! Was kinda hard to see xbox 360 achieve a graphical performance like Killzone 2.



I wonder if Brink is Directx 11 compatible? I hope it is!



Tease.

EDIT: Actually, I will respond. First, he points to his E3 coverage on his PS3 site. And yet talks about the 360 version - wow, what a stretch.

He'll  prolly also talk about how the game will need multiple discs as well.

Never heard of the site and after reading his *prose,* I know why.

Thanks for the evening laugh, Op.

Well you're welcome although I don't see what's so funny.

Ummm, did you miss the part where Bethesda confirmed it was running on the PC and not the 360?

The Wii owners are like Ewoks. The Evil empire will tolerate them but turn their forest moon into a secret base.

It is the new upcoming game from Bethesda Softworks. I don't really know what is the genre of the game though.
