A view from the Brink

CGSociety has a great 2 page article discussing Splash Damage's latest effort, Brink. They talk a lot about their art and design choices they made when working on the game as told through concept art samples. Lots of pretty pictures and some great thoughts to absorb.

Hah, I lol'ed at the garbage pile technique. Those guys have fun.

This game is probably the only game i'm looking forward to next year, besides RAGE.

Awesome but I never expect to see typo's on such nicely laid out articles @_@

"There's also got extensive character customisation in the game"

Hah that garbage technique is a beautiful way to achieve that texture. I like how they really thought about colour too. I'm definitely interested again. (I lost interest because trailers almost made it seem like TF2 with objectives and I want a more story driven, 4 player co-op adventure. Basically Half Life co-op)

Whoa! That technique with the normal map... I actually did something similar back in March.
