Mirror's Edge: Beatable without Firing a Single Bullet

Shacknews writes: " DICE's first-person action-adventure title Mirror's Edge (PC, PS3, 360) was shown at today's EA E3 press event.

The demonstration was identical to that shown at the Game Developers Conference, with one minor difference. This time around, the PlayStation 3 version was demoed, instead of the Xbox 360 version.

Reaction time, which slows down the game a la bullet time, was used to make an extremely long jump. An EA DICE representative also noted that reaction time can be used to perform more advanced combat moves."

Another reason why this game will PWN!
So far, Fallout 3 and Mirror's Edge are my personal candidates for Game of the Show.

legendkilla6191d ago

ya i will agree with you there! im liking the "perks"

MK_Red6191d ago

Perks are AWESOME but I'm really sad that they come every level now so that the 20 level cap could be inforced :(

OOG6191d ago

Yeah Fallout was pretty badass looking especially when people limbs went flyn everywhere

buckethead_X6191d ago

appears to be made of both win and pwn, but time will tell. ( I hope it is. It looks gorgeous and fun O-O ) Maybe it will partially redeem EA, as some people don't really like them anymore :/

mepsipax6191d ago

this is probably one of the most refreshing games I've seen in a while, compared to the now stagnating First Person genre this is a shining diamond in a sea of coal. Yay a real colour pallete!

El_Colombiano6191d ago

Awesome! Oh wait, I've already done this in Metal Gear Solid 4. Although, it's great to see games straying away from the run and gun gameplay we're plagued with at the moment.

PirateThom6191d ago

Beautiful game, hope the gameplay is as as beautiful as the graphics.

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.

Knightofelemia182d ago (Edited 182d 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.

goken182d 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.

__y2jb182d 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 .

Inverno181d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex181d 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_Suzumiya882d ago

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

SonyStyled881d ago (Edited 881d ago )

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

jasonismoney881d ago

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

SonyStyled881d 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

cthulhucultist881d 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

Fist4achin882d ago

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

SonyStyled881d 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

JEECE881d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi881d ago

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

JEECE881d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
