According to the mpuk server chaps looks like running brink servers is going to make a machine sweat a bit. PROM SHALL soon drop that winter weight

That surpises me a little. I didnt think it would be that heavy on the gfx...

I dont think servers even generate graphics, but they do have to deal with physics.
As Mk1 says, it's physics, object tracking and network management that kills servers. All the graphical rendering is done on the client.

Hmmm. early reviews are mixed!

Though this is for the console versions.
I don't know why we have all this brink hype, bulletstorm (so far) appears to be the better game. And you can get it for £12.

Hmm, reviews early in that list have a few low scores (Joystik, IGN, JPS), but as a set that seems to be a mid-80% result and not very mixed at all. Handful of 9's, mostly 8's.
That's a helpful article. Thanks TB.

Linked from the thread I linked. Like I surmised, mixed reviews. But I know you love bloke more than me hence negativity towards me and love for him. Feel the manlove.

Why anyone would regard IGN as capable of accurately reviewing a product is beyond me.
And bulletstorm sucks balls.

Keep in mind that comparing reviews between outlets like that is pretty near useless. Joystiq uses all five of their stars on a regular basis, whereas IGN's 6 may as well be a zero, and so on. The more granular a scale they use, the more likely they are to lump all their reviews into the upper portion of it, generally.
The real interesting part here is that two outlets didn't even review it. That speaks volumes to me.

The reviews seem oddly... patchy... at best. At worst it seems like these people were all playing different games.
Seems generally though splash dmg failed at hitting 1 of my points to make this game totally awesome. Still like a rich fat man once sung 2 out of 3 aint bad.
