I love borderlands and finished the game and its expansionstree times. I am anxious for brink and rage since they are a clear copy of such a great game.

I waswondering wich one of the 2 upcoming games are better, what would be the main differences, and mostly like to repeat borderlands' success.

I really don't see many similarities. I guess Brinks artstlye could kinda be considered similar, and Rage's environment. They are definitely not copies in my eyes.

Only similarities i see between brink and borderlands is strictly in art style. For Rage its just a case of "oh look another desert wasteland", beyond that i don't see any similarities thatt can be drawn to Borderlands.

Brink isn't like Borderlands at all. Its an objective based shooter on arena style maps. Rage is somewhat closer to Borderlands from what I've seen. Its open world post apocalyps with buggies, but its more of a sinlge player shooter than a co-op RPG. If your looking for another Borderlands than Rage is way closer than Brink. That being said I'm pumped for Brink, looks like a great new and inventive shooter.

If you enjoyed Borderlands then you won't sleep of eat for days when Rage and Brink get released, no matter if they turn bad, they'll be way better than Borderlands.

Rage is a like Fallout and Brink is like APB without cars, neither of them are heavily instanced. like Borderlands.

Brink is nothing like Borderlands. They might have a barely similar artstye, but that's it.

Edit: Just properly read through the thread, only a couple of people seem to actually know anything about Brink. The others are making wildly inaccurate statements.

This. Far from it actually. In this context, you could say all of these games are copies of Fallout 3... which to me would be kinda absurd to say. I don't like to make these kinds of comparisons just because they share the same post-apocalyptic setting themes. I think people get confused with the art style and call it similar games, which they are not.

"clear copy of..." Rage was in development before Borderlands was, it is a sorta sandboxy FPS, not an rpg, with a co-op separate from the campaign. They both take place in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Brink is an objective mp shooter, basically it's the successor to Wolfenstein:ET, adding only customization to character/weapons and a new movement system. The setting is sorta post-apocalyptic, but completely different from anything I've seen of Borderlands or Rage, it sorta reminds me of Waterworld

(if you want to know what it'll be like, wolf:et is free, go play that, it's not as great as it was due to the community getting smaller and kinda ruining some aspects with dumb mods and too many bots)

Borderlands is a co-op rpfps, it has stats, loot, leveling (in a more rpg/mmo grindy way) shows your damage, is cel-shaded. The biggest thing it has in common is, it has guns and is post-apocalyptic.. that's about it.

Rage looks interesting, however Brink looks pretty generic to me. Well maybe not generic...but for some reason I'm not seeing anything that makes me want to play it.

I can only see the comparison to Rage, and even that's just because of similarity in the setting. Tonally, I think Rage and Borderlands couldn't be farther from each other. Between Brink and Rage though, I have FAR more interest in Rage.
