Mirror's Edge Third-Person View Activated

Gamezine: It's time to experience Mirror's Edge in the third-person.

Mirror's Edge revolutionised the platforming genre by introducing it to the first-person view - a view that had traditionally been relegated to shooters. But how would the game have looked if it was played in the traditional third-person view? Now you can find out.

I'd be falling alot, that's for sure. The TPV looks awkward though...not surprised.

lociefer5998d ago

lol she looks like santa trying to jog

sonarus5998d ago

the run animation in 3rd person is crap

Mindboggle5998d ago

Yeh it doesnt look to natural, faith looks a bit retarded when shes running.

TheROsingleB5998d ago

Posting in this article needs to play through Half-Life 1, or even 2, in 3rd person mode and THEN talk about how retarded Faith looks, because Gordon looks much worse lol.
Game wasn't suppose to be played in 3rd person, this kind of animation cut-back on the models is pretty standard in ANY First Person game, not just Mirror's Edge... it saves the animators and modelers an abundance of memory and animation lines, relax about how it looks, damn!

Rapture3335998d ago

Those are horrible animations

phosphor1125997d ago

And thats what happens when you try to 3rd person view a single player first person game...that is all.

uie4rhig5997d ago

@phosphor112
actually, there was this mod for UT3 on the PS3, that changed the experience from FPS to TPS, and that one looked fine.. it was still pretty cool.. but this is just fail lol

ThanatosDMC5997d ago

Wow, it's like a the Half Life 1 mod Earth's Special Forces for the body animations! Utter crap!

or did someone hack this.....

because in that video her movement looks fugly...

DJ5998d ago

And quite surprising. Her movement looks so fluid in FPS mode.

edhe5998d ago

Creating a game for FPS is far far different from TPS.

Sangria5998d ago

The animations are disturbing, but it's a good experience. Now i now that Mirror's Edge should be played in first person view only.

Not because the animations are ugly (which is quite normal since the game wasn't planned to be played in third person view) but because the third person view lacks of immersion and precision.

stevenhiggster5998d ago

It looks poo! stick to first person I say.

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken185d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn185d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb185d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

DefenderOfDoom2185d ago

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno185d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex185d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya885d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled885d ago (Edited 885d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney885d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled885d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist884d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin885d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled885d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE885d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi885d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE885d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
