Mirror’s Edge made a lasting impression on fans in 2008, with its innovative blend of exhilarating first-person parkour and guns-optional gameplay. At E3 2013, DICE announced that it was developing a sequel to the game. Since then, we haven’t heard much more. That changed recently, with the official announcement of the reboot’s name, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. EA announced that the game would be shown at its E3 press conference on June 15 at 1 p.m. Pacific. Here’s what we’re hoping to see from the game, including new additions and features that we hope make a return.
Kaan writes: "Mirror's Edge will likely never get a third try. The second game does not look like a cheap effort. By all accounts it is beautiful, especially with its FPS Boost enhancements. The city glows at nights and shines in the day. Lights will reflect off of Catalyst’s many structures made of glass. It’s spectacular to run through. But such a lavish production often comes with risk aversion and sadly Catalyst crumbles under this pressure. It’s held back by the pressure to conform, rather than trying to be genuinely different."
The parkour was great. It was just the story and characters didn't get interesting until the final moments and then it was to late.
Digital Foundry: Microsoft's FPS Boost support expands again, this time with 120Hz upgrades for 12 games and a 60fps boost for one! We decided to check out the improvement to some of our favourite games in the line-up, including the three Battlefield games that are supported, Titanfall and Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Which consoles support which games, what's the performance really like and are there resolution compromises?
Microsoft is killing it. Meanwhile Sony only lets developers upgrade older games if they make a PS5 version. Which means, less games getting upgrades on Sony’s offering.
Man, that makes me want to reinstall the OG Titanfall... seeing people still playing it. Memories

Electronic Arts has just released twelve games on Valve's distribution service, Steam.
I'm hoping it will just focus on the running outside over rooftops part, and drop the indoor-parts and the shooting/fighting stuff.
As far as I'm concerned, just keep the awesome parkour mechanics and the gorgeous visual style, and just give us lots of amazing varied courses in different locations all around the world to run through, basically just putting the focus on the time-trials/running/races, and perhaps include an extra mode where you also include all kinds of tricks and combo's, and add a photo- and videomode, so after the race you can just go into your replay and edit it into something really awesome and share it with the rest of the world....
