Hands-on with Mirror's Edge, Mercenaries 2, FIFA 09 and Brothers in Arms...

From PS3 Attitude, Kawaii writes: "On Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the Multiplay Festival at Stoneleigh Park in the UK. Although the event was mainly aimed at PC gamers there were a few PS3s set up demonstrating upcoming games."

On Mirror's Edge: "The graphics appeared clean, crisp and visually distinct. I was impressed that the restart points after deaths were frequent. My only concern was that the 1st person viewpoint seemed to make it hard to see the edge of the buildings, making it easy to fall off..."

its so easy to forget that there are many 3rd party games coming to the ps3 also fallout and resident evil 5 included

majiesto6165d ago

Mirror's Edge is looking to be amazing. I can't wait for this game to come out. I've been a fan of parkour and free running so this is perfect for me.I'm glad to see some exciting new games on the horizon.

DolphGB6165d ago

Out of all the games in this article, Mirror's Edge is the one I'm looking forward to the most.

Although I am being swayed by the explosions in Mercenaries 2 almost every day! :-)

supahbad6165d ago

i don't see why mercs2 seems to be at the back of everyone's mind. i can't wait for it because i loved the first and the graphics for the second look great, especially the explosions. can't wait to use a tactical nuke :)

DolphGB6165d ago

...you bet! That bad boy looks awesome in the videos I've seen...

VuZuW6165d ago (Edited 6165d ago )

I've never been that much interested in Mirror's Edge, but I'm glad that Mercenaries is looking good and that good 3rd party games are coming to PS3.

Brodiesan6164d ago

Mirror's Edge is going to be a phenomenon. It has already generated considerably buzz in the industry and I love the fact that it utilises the SIXAXIS for some of the balancing aspects in the game.

DICE are definitely a studio that are consistently delivering.

Brodiesan6165d ago

Hey Kawaii - did you notice any motion sickness when playing Mirro's Edge?

supahbad6165d ago

haha motion sickness while sitting on your @ss playing a game?

Brodiesan6165d ago

@Supahbad

Yep, some people have experienced motion sickness (or, more accurately, simulation sickness) while playing the game due to the perspective. To combat this the engineers have added a "dot" at the centre of the screen which focuses the eyes.

You can check out this article for more information:

kawaii6165d ago

I didn't find that I had motion sickness, although I did at times feel a bit of vertigo. I don't know that I would feel motion sickness from it though as I cope fine with fps games.

It does look like it'll be a fun game to play.

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.

Knightofelemia184d ago (Edited 184d 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.

goken183d 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.

Pyrofire95183d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn183d ago

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

__y2jb183d 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 .

Inverno183d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex183d 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_Suzumiya883d ago

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

SonyStyled883d ago (Edited 883d ago )

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

jasonismoney883d ago

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

SonyStyled883d 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

cthulhucultist882d 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

Fist4achin883d ago

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

SonyStyled883d 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

JEECE883d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi883d ago

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

JEECE883d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
