Brink is downright fucking awesome. We know because we saw it at a pre-E3 Bethesda event outside Paris last week.

The demo was split into two, showing us one part of the story as Security and one as Resistance, with the game’s impressive scale of customisation shown off in-between.

Needless to say, “downright fucking awesome”.

After the demo was shown, we spoke to Splash Damage CEO  Paul Wedgwood. His interview took place a day after we chatted with Brink writer Ed Stern. You can get his talk here.

Ever since its reveal before E3 last year, Splash Damage’s Brink has been firmly on the core’s radar. It’s aiming to be one of the biggest action titles of this year, pairing up with fellow Bethesda-published title Fallout: New Vegas this fall.

In one of two interviews with Splash Damage, we spoke to the game’s writer Ed “BongoBoy” Stern in Paris last week at Bethesda’s pre-E3 event, asking about the possible future of the series, another potential team-up with id Software and lots more.

The all-new demo we saw in in France last week was show-stopping. Don’t even think about not buying this game when it releases.

We also spoke to SD’s CEO Paul Wedgwood about the game. Get that here.
