The latest issue of Edge has the scoop on DICE's upcoming first-person action...jumping...thing, Mirror's Edge. First up, it's not a shooter. Instead, influenced heavily by parkour, they're calling it a first-person action adventure. Huge levels will allow you the same kind of free-form exploration and athletic tomfoolery as a game like Tony Hawks or even Crackdown, but with much finer control. Don't think the lumbering cops of Crackdown, think Prince of Persia.
I'm glad to hear they're adding more realism to the first-person perspective, and I think others should do the same.
Finally, some new and unique gameplay and content for a first person persepective game is on it's way.
It will be odd for many of us to play this game no doubt. But I encourage in doing something new in this genre. Lets see what they can do with this game.
