Mirror's Edge Demo Gameplay Video

Gameplay video of the PSN version of the Mirror's Edge demo. Available on Xbox on Halloween!

Not the best of games... Too shallow for my taste. I think it looks sharp at times. But at others it's a miss step. This is a game that is probably going to fail at retail... I could be wrong, but it's just not so much a game as it is an on the rails tech demo of a very pristine city scape.

pixelsword6081d ago (Edited 6081d ago )

...but I remember thinking along similar lines when I first played Kill.Switch, because I though since the character looked so much like Snake, that you had to sneak around like snake... then the bullets started coming, and I was blown away, literally and figuratively.

But right now, it could go either way, so maybe I'll try to get it tonight and see what's what.

Mr_Bun6081d ago

I found the problem with the demo was that it took less time to complete it, than it did to download it...also the blonde that helps you out in the tutorial looks awful

solidsnakus6081d ago

you know the part where you fall down the vents and 4 guys start shooting at you? i actually managed to disarm all 4 of them but 'magically' when you disarm them there gun just runs out of bullets. also i disarmed the swat guys at the end and them too, their SMGs had no ammo either. the game is pretty good, ill probably rent it.

I am pretty blown away by the demo. The graphics are so stylized. The music is some of the best I have ever heard in a game. It's so smooth and just fun! This wasn't even on my radar about 5 minutes ago!!! Must buy!!!

Not so sure how well it will work with 360 controller having to use a trigger and a bumper to jump and duck . . . Will try it out tomorrow when it hits 360.

pixelsword6081d ago

...I'll download it tonight, I guess.

I hope it's great, because it looks like a very creative game, and since Infamous has a Parkour character as well, maybe some of that mentality will translate to Infamous as well.

solidsnakus6081d ago

hey did anyone notice the WTC is in the game? right when you begin the demo after the totorial look to the right.

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.

Knightofelemia180d ago (Edited 180d 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.

goken180d 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.

__y2jb180d 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 .

Inverno179d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex179d 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_Suzumiya880d ago

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

SonyStyled880d ago (Edited 880d ago )

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

jasonismoney880d ago

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

SonyStyled879d 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

cthulhucultist879d 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

Fist4achin880d ago

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

SonyStyled880d 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

JEECE879d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi879d ago

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

JEECE879d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
