Our Brink config program v1.2 can now be found on the frontpage of www.fileplanet.com 
This program is to be used with the Brink it allows you to configure settings that are not in the in game menus.

This program has been developed from another previous program for Crysis 2, this program got over 30k downloads and 6 versions released.

Those playing TF2 have probably noticed the main screen changing, showing the upcoming Saxxy Awards accompanied by..erm..that sound...bit dubious isn't it? Those up to date with their update history will know the replay update was last, and the Saxxy Awards directly link with this update.

It's basically in a nutshell, an Oscar/Grammy/Britt awards rip off, for TF2 movies. The TF2 community has in the past produced some simply outstanding video's, which I think is helped by the fact the the official ones from Valve are fantastic.

The full list of categories for the awards are as follows:

Brink is just 7 days away from release in the US and 10 days for us here in Europe. The game looks to bring some promise to the PC community, public server files have been announced and the recent videos show the game should suit the Battlefield community.

Big questions are still to be answered about the game; will it have proper pc support with actual recoil etc and will it support competitive play? So many games have been released over the last few years with the lack of instant pc support and competitive features; will Brink be the beginning of the end of this? It seems we won’t fully know until the game is released. As with most recent games the developer is keeping their cards close to their chest and are not releasing full information about the PC version.

One thing is sure that if there is support for client side config settings then we will have a config program released on day one of release. Building on the success that was the Crysis 2 Configurator with aproximately 35,000 downloads since the demo version, the Brink configurator will be fine tunned and ready to launch for release day one. I have already started modifying the code ready for Brink’s release and I am waiting on hearing about the available client settings!

Follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/rjay_w the developer of the Crysis2Config program and I will keep you updated with the progress of the program!
