PSU First Look: Mirror's Edge

At last weeks Game Developers Conference, EA DICE gave a special presentation for a new PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title called, Mirror's Edge. Simply put, Mirror's Edge is a first person platformer where players assume the role of a renegade woman named Faith. While the government tightly controls the city, underground radicals use Faith and others like her to deliver secret messages by hand, leaping rooftop-to-rooftop and dodging government officials.

PSU shares it's positive and negative experiences with the game.

Looks very interesting, its really a fresh idea. But without trying to sound sexist/manly (ggrrr!) im a little disappointed the lead character is female.

perseus6320d ago

Er...why are you disappointed?

mighty_douche6320d ago

well i thought i explained that? Because you play as a female, and being a male id rather play as a male. I'll still pick this game up, its just that >>IN MY OPINION<< id rather have a male lead.

Its my opinion, if something about anything disappoints me thats my prerogative.

perseus6320d ago

You just said you were disappointed without saying why. That's why I asked.

mighty_douche6320d ago (Edited 6320d ago )

Sorry read my first comment again bro... or heres a quote...

"im a little disappointed the lead character is female"

perseus6320d ago

I meant why are you disappointed that the lead is female, but you answered that in your second post.

Round one: fight fight fight!

I've been waiting for this game since I found out it was Parkour, I'm glad to see that it's still in development and something original and not a Tony Hawk'esque game. It's like Breakdown + Parkour!!

Premonition6319d ago

I dont mind playing as a female but at the same time it would be a nice touch to have 2 characters to choose from male or female.

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.

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.

goken174d 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

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

__y2jb174d 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.

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

Inverno173d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex173d 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_Suzumiya873d ago

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

SonyStyled873d ago (Edited 873d ago )

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

jasonismoney873d ago

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

SonyStyled873d 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

cthulhucultist873d 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

Fist4achin873d ago

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

SonyStyled873d 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

JEECE873d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi873d ago

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

JEECE873d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
