Mirror's Edge is an action-adventure first-person sceduled to come out November 11th. There aren't that many people who have heard about Mirror's Edge yet, (Coming to Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Windows) but for those who have they are well aware this is a game to keep their eyes on.

In game vid preview here, as well as some info:

Even though it's EA, it looks promising.

SizeableSSonic · 05-14-2008, 06:49 PM

Yea, I saw that. It looks really cool, and reminds me of Quake/TFC style trick jumping.

Dr.Satan · 05-14-2008, 07:28 PM

lol looks like Parkour with a gun!

4est · 05-14-2008, 07:50 PM

Yeah... there is even some guy named "decs" who works on that project....

Well... that should mean beta testing and free game distribution for those who know this "decs" character!

Woo hoo!

When I saw this trailer a few days ago, I actually said that it's "The first EA game i'm interested in since Battlefield 2."

I know it's not saying much, but before that the only games I've ever liked came from other developers and EA only published...

פֿяαιп βαмαgεפ · 05-15-2008, 06:55 AM

Looks promising, tis takes "first person" to a whole new level, if done right that is. (I loved the way she kicked the shotgun out of the guys hands! that's freakn sweet!)

Dr.Satan · 05-15-2008, 02:28 PM

yeah it says the main focus is on picking the right path and not so much on guys. And that they actually hinder your movement and speed...Pretty cool concept.

TheWetMule · 05-15-2008, 03:55 PM

Aye, only thing I'm worried about is the controls, they'll either be extremely over complicated, which WOULD allow total freedom, or be over simplified, not allowing you to really do what you want.

KubeDawg · 05-15-2008, 06:23 PM

Wow, that trailer was incredible.

Circuitous · 05-15-2008, 07:51 PM

I'm betting it'll be more context sensitive... or something like

Directional Movement
Jumping
Sliding
Crouching
Sprinting

and combinations provide the various actions,

Jump -> Crouch = Somersault / Clear Low Barricades
Jump -> Slide = Dive
Jump -> Jump = Wall Climb / Grab / Pull / Swing
Crouch -> Jump = High Jump / Catapult
Slide -> Jump = Slide to Kick-Up
Slide -> Crouch = Slide to Skid Stop
Sprint + Jump = Long Jump
Sprint + Slide = Roll to Slide
Sprint -> Crouch -> Jump = Mega Jump

and it'll pretty much just do the action to whatever you're looking at - less worrying if you're gonna make the jump, and more making the jump. Slide to an edge to automatically fall off it and grab on, jump from one ledge and immediately to the next closest one ahead of you.

I figure, from the way combat looks, that it might be something like Trespasser, where you have a key that essentially makes the feet or hands "active" and mouse movements determine what gets done (like kicking a shotgun out of someone's hands with a sharp upward mouse movement, then scissoring him down with a curl towards the right).

If I'm even close to right I'll play the fuck out of this.

fuck you and your hawt avatar..........

Oh man I hate to do this so bad. But it's against forum rules to go and post a link to something copyrighted like this for download.

If you want the link, PM Anshnritsumai I guess.

You make my day. It's not the original one but meah, still good.

Damascus · 05-17-2008, 03:55 PM

They released a video now?

Graphics look purty.

*EDIT*
Guys, ready your graphics cards. I bet you the gx2 will be sold out the day the game's released.

Ihmhi · 05-17-2008, 10:59 PM

Am I the only one who's worried about the statement:

THE FOLLOWING IS ALL IN-GAME FOOTAGE

Because EA has been real honest with that shit before. /=

Even so, can you imagine if they applied this gameplay to a Beyond Good & Evil Game?

OH GOD I JUST CAME.
