GodisaGeek: "Imagine how boring games and movies and literature would be if the concept of the dystopian future had never been developed, if we were allowed to believe that the future could be anything other than a high-tech Hell designed to constrain our creativity, hamstring our freedom and suppress our humanity. You only have to read Philip K. Dick or Orson Wells (or, if you like, watch the movies based on so many of their works) to become pretty depressed about the possibilities of tomorrow’s world."
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.
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.
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 .
It seems that in Season 4, DICE has snuck in a Battlefield 2042 Mirror's Edge Easter egg in the new Flashpoint map.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@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
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
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
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
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.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Absolutely adored this game, so this articlce makes me happy, but also sad :'-(
Love this game and plan on buying it again. I only played it on an SD TV and I want to experience it on an HD screen
Damn time goes too fast, those screenshots actually made me feel nostalgic. This game may have had some rough edges (as anything that dares to try something new will) but what a unique experience it was, from the beautiful bright shimmering city to the clean crystalline music. This game will stick in my memory as one of the truly standout experiences of this generation. In fact, I'm definitely digging out the disc tomorrow night.
EA/DICE, where in the hell is Mirror's Edge 2!? Word is you're working on it... SHOW US SOMETHING ALREADY!!!
I don't really get the adoration ME seems to get. It's combat was unnecessary, climbing up pipes and shimmying on ledges was annoying as hell in first person, the story was bland and didn't really go anywhere.
Don' get me wrong the game did a lot of things right, the artstyle was awesome, a female protagonist that didn't need to wear skimpy clothing, and the free running parkour elements were awesome with you able to build up speed and chain together a couple of acrobatics stunts. It was a tentative first step however, it was clearly still experiencing it's growing pains, as can be seen by the mandatory fight scenes and gunplay that I can only imagine was there because EA didn't think a game without SOME shooting would sell.
Mirror's Edge had a lot of neat concepts, but it's execution was flawed. Future game could've been refined, but the first game wasn't a masterpiece by any stretch. It's just a shame it didn't sell well enough for the planned trilogy, and that's when CoD4 became big so DICE was immediately taken off this creative experiment to make a Battlefield game EA could use to compete with Activision's CoD.
