Bringing next-gen Mirror's Edge to current consoles would mean too many compromises

The origin story sequel to Mirror's Edge is a game that includes core concepts that can't be created on existing consoles, executive vice president of EA's games label Patrick Soderlund tells Polygon.

No problem, I want to play it on the best of the best.

Studio-YaMi4322d ago (Edited 4322d ago )

Then you'd be getting it on a high end PC,I'm a Playstation fan & I'm telling you that.

Unless you were already thinking of getting it on PC then my comment is irrelevant to you lol.

My GTX780m(laptop) card is ready for the test,at least until I save up for my dual GTX 780SLI monstrosity desktop that I'm intending on buying next year. :D

PS:
I love Sony for their unique exclusives that you can't find even on PC,that's why I'm a playstation fan at heart,it's not for the power(even though they still produce really good hardware) but it's about the unique experience that you won't get anywhere else BUT on a playstation console,the ohh so lovely exclusives.

That's why I already pre-ordered my PS4 !

maybe xX-StolenSoul-Xx just meant the best version of the game HE planned on buying. this whole "pc is best" mantra "new" pc gamers constantly do is very annoying. most old school pc gamers do not go around reminding people that the pc platform; a gaming platform that has the ability to be constantly upgraded and customized to perfection, obviously is going to yield the best version of a game. people play on what platform they prefer. there's no reason gamers have to constantly go around evangelizing on the internet to others about why theyre playing on a certain platform.

Nice comment. I feel like someone tries to sell me on pc gaming a few times a year but its not for me. I love playstation exclusives, the graphics have always been enough to impress, and I just couldn't fathom blowing 1000 on a pc and then more on top just to replicate the comfort of playing on a console (hooking up to the tv and having the controller I prefer. My brother and roommate game on pcs but they're the kind to just sit in a room by themselves and play mmorpgs, mobas, and rts's. I often prefer to game with a friend or two and you don't really see multiple people ever sitting around a pc with controllers. Maybe it's possible but I've never seen it. That's my favourite gaming experience and a streamlined/gaming centric OS only makes that more comfortable for me. I also never have to deal with conflicting programs, out-of-date software, incompatible software, worrying about x64 vs. x86, adjusting resolutions, textures and AA levels, overclocking, overheating, and frequent corrupted data issues. The weaker console is just easier for my lifestyle in terms of saving time and the social aspect of it.

@blue_flowers
I just stated a point to him since he said clearly :
"I want to play it on the best of the best"

So that's why I (suggested) him to buy it for PC,I'm not hating on console gaming,I already have a PS1-PS2-PS3-PSP-PSVita-GameCub e-Wii-WiiU-3DS-Gameboy(all versions)-Nes-Snes-SegaMegadr ive-SegaDreamcast-3DO & the list goes on.

@pivotplease
To each his own and I do see your point with the friend issue not being able to share your PC monitor with,PCs are mostly 99% about multiplayer or single player,not about CO-OP(unless it's thru the internet,no local).

I respect every gamer,I'm not an fanboy of any company or product.

CarlosX3604322d ago (Edited 4322d ago )

No problem. Bring it on, EA. I loved Mirror's Edge, and I want the series to be tapped at the fullest it can be.

FarCryLover1824322d ago

That's probably for the best. But this game is probably coming 2015 (I know they haven't announced any specifics yet), and by 2015 I am sure publishers are going to try to wane support for the current-gen consoles.

ABeastNamedTariq4322d ago

I bet. I wouldn't want it on current consoles anyway. Need dem next gen graphics. The new controllers would also allow for greater precision and control of Faith's movements.

Arc Raiders looks interesting. Glad they will get a bit more time to fine tune it.

Looking back to the failed parkour of 2016's Mirror's Edge Catalyst

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.

FPS Boost at 120fps: Battlefield 1/4/5 - Titanfall 1/2 - Mirror's Edge Catalyst Tested

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?

FPS boost is a nice feature. Cant wait for more games to get that.

Eonjay1518d ago

While FPS boost is nice, I feel like it is the bare minimum in upgrades and only helps those with 120 capable TVs. Most of these games are PC titles as well. These games should be patched to run high/ultra PC video setting.

ActualWhiteMan1518d ago

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.

jukins1518d ago

Alternatively seems to be a focus on releasing newer games? People barely played the games before 120 fpsnisnt gong to change that. Not to mention the people with the capable tv.

Soon this will not be the case though, and all of these other added perks like 120fps on older games will just be other great additions and features that PS users do not have available to them. I think any additional updates to features for games is something that shouldn't be discredited. Once Microsoft starts rolling out the new games on a regular basis, this argument is not going to age well. For now, you are correct on the new game front, but that is all going to change here soon enough. Sure most argue the "Wait until E3" remark over and over, but that will certainly be a thing of the past with everything Microsoft is working on now. Good things come to those who wait is the way I look at it for now.

***Once Microsoft starts rolling out the new games on a regular basis, this argument is not going to age well.***

This argument hasn't aged well for a long time now.

foker1518d ago

They are really killing it,.. They haven't released a new first party game in 600 days if not more

SpineSaw1517d ago

Now wait that's not true. 600 days is looong time and they did release a few First Party games that no one played or no one can remember by name but you do make a good point and it don't really matter if its been 6 days or 6yrs for Xbox First Party what they've released has been poor at best.

Army_of_Darkness1518d ago (Edited 1518d ago )

@actualwhiteman

Killing it? Ms? Lmfao! Boosting fps on old last gen games on a new gen console while not releasing a single first party next gen game is killing it to you?! 🤣😂
Meanwhile.... Sony what? Oh has been focusing on releasing actual new first party games. Funny, you forgot to mention that part bud.

Christopher1517d ago

***Meanwhile Sony only lets developers upgrade older games if they make a PS5 version.***

Well, this is just factually incorrect. The Division 2 got an upgrade for PS5 but is running the PS4 version. Other games have had similar.

Man, that makes me want to reinstall the OG Titanfall... seeing people still playing it. Memories

Destiny10801518d ago

battlefield 4, 720p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer drops down to 98fps
battlefield 1, 792p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked
battlefield 5, 1080p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked
mirror's edge catalyst, 936p 120fps, campaign locked
titanfall 2, 810p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked, series s not so good
titanfall 1, 792p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked, no s support for this game

its better then nothing, if they were upped to 4k i would have been impressed, titanfall 1 looks so much better on Pc

darthv721518d ago

It is called "fps boost"... not "res boost"

Destiny10801518d ago (Edited 1518d ago )

titanfall 2, is 4k on the xbox one x, why not "fps boost"
Battlefield 1, is 4k on the xbox one x, why not "fps boost"

DJStotty1518d ago

"titanfall 2, is 4k on the xbox one x, why not "fps boost""

Erm, no

"In general, the One X plays out between 1440p and 1800p with rises to 4k (2160p) in quiet scenes with little activity."

On topic, this is a FPS boost, not a resolution patch so you did not need to add the resolutions for base vanilla xbox. BC normally uses the xbox one version, as opposed to the xbox one X "patched" version to answer your question about resolution.

Either way, all games will use the built in upscaler on either your TV, or the xbox series X to display an upscaled 4K image (not native).

That along with Auto-HDR should result in a good enough reason to replay these games at the new improved framerate.
