It's bizarre, the idea that a side-scrolling interpretation of a game intended to innovate the first-person perspective could work so well and simply fit from play-zero - but here we are. The concept and design of DICE's game come together so perfectly here, that it is nothing short of simple, harmonious game-play - like better days, long past but not forgotten."
Bitmob - Everybody knows Mirror’s Edge, Swedish developer DICE’s flawed yet incredible foray into free running. While it didn't sell as well as hoped, we've heard rumors of a sequel ever since it was released. This past week at industry trade show E3, Electronic Arts President Frank Gibeau confirmed that Mirror’s Edge 2 is still in development and may very well run on Battlefield 3's Frostbite 2 engine. But he didn't say anything about gameplay changes that would pair that gorgeous, totalitarian world with fluid, unbroken parkour.
Playstation move support FTW! :D but please let it have online modes. Online free roam would be awesome!
I <3 Mirrors Edge
When you fall - instead of instadeath, it would be better if you get a second chance, a ledge or lower obstacle to keep the freerunning going.
Yeah that kinda seemed like a no-brainer, surprised it wasn't in ME1. Falling and dying just because decided she didn't feel like grabbing that ledge completely broke the speed and immersion at points.
this game is dying for a 3rd person mode, the 1st person set up spoilt it imo, still one of the best looking games this gen art is amazing
The major concept and appeal of the game was its first person pespective. It was what made it exciting and immersive. It's just one of those games that works best in that view considering how the controls were set up. The game going 3rd person would be the decision to kill it.
With the recent unveiling of the Chrome Web Store and the direct involvement of EA, Mirrors Edge 2D showed up on the offerings and adds some interesting touches to the 2D sidescroller, albeit browser based, gameplay.
Wow! Yeah, for a surprisingly DISAPPOINTING title release, the 2D sidescroller is rather fun!
This: "What we see are slick, fluid controls, along with a bright, cheery atmosphere. While the author doesn’t necessarily come into this with high hopes (even negating the fact that this 2D scroller was based off of a rather ailing national title release), I came away enjoying and wasting a considerable amount of time on this little EA release"
..is the entire review. Really?
You happened to see the review mid-edit. Several amounts of content have been added since your last perusal.
No worries, man. Some of the reviews and articles get put up here mid-edit/writing.
