Mirror's Edge 2 on Frostbite 2? 'You'll see that combination', says EA boss

Battlefield 3 looks stunning, right? Imagine a sequel to Mirror's Edge running on the same engine.

EA Games President Frank Gibeau has all but confirmed that we'll eventually see Mirror's Edge 2 running on Frostbite 2, telling Gametrailers that "you'll see that combination, I'm sure".

"EA Games President Frank Gibeau has all but confirmed that we'll eventually see Mirror's Edge 2 running on Frostbite 2" -> I can only say, Finally!

I really liked Mirror's Edge, the problem with it was that it was that there wasn't enough action for most gamers to enjoy, and unfortunately they missed out on a really good game.

If they make another one, it really needs to up the ante on the chase sequences, and make the level design more diverse (give more options to moving around), make it open world (Mirror's Edge was pseudo open world), and make the controls more natural so more people will want to play.

Also even though you're not really suppose to shoot, there are people who want to, so the gun play needs to be better without turning it into a shooter.

Another game added to the list of Most Underrated games this gen.

I_find_it_funny4699d ago

Mirror's Edge is one of my special game. It's 100% buy as long as they won't ruin it somehow.

TheIneffableBob4699d ago (Edited 4699d ago )

Making it more accessible would increase sales, but I wish they wouldn't. I feel like doing things like adding more gunplay would detract from the core gameplay and just be there for the sake of appeal.

I don't want Mirror's Edge to end up like Dragon Age: going from a smart, well-thought-out game to a dumbed down game made to find a broad audience rather than sticking with the people who found the first game great.

But business is business, I suppose. I find myself playing a lot of indie games recently just because they tend to be so much more interesting.

snipes1014699d ago

This is almost better news than anything announced at E3 for me. One of my favorite games of all time.

ABizzel14699d ago

I said improve the gunplay not turn it into a shooter. EA has to improve the sales in order for the franchise to stick around, and to do that they need to improve parts of the game.

nnotdead4699d ago

don't improve the gameplay. just get ride of it. only time your character should touch a gun would should be when you disarm an enemy. maybe have a choice to have a deadly or nonlethal way to disarm enemys. could also be part of a Karma system. maybe lethal disarming will kill the guy you grab, and maybe take out another nearby enemy, but will affect how other characters and the game world react to what you're doing.

Perjoss4699d ago

Only problem is I'm pretty sure they already said the sequels will be quite a different style of game. So fans of the gameplay might not be so happy about this news.

i agree, i love the minimalist look behind the art direction.

JBaby3434699d ago

I also liked the look of the city. So clean and defined. The game itself was good but those time trials frustrated me to no end. The game consistently punked me and I gave up on them after so many hours without any progress.

I would like to see a sequel though.

The Great Melon4699d ago

Don't forget it also had really nice colors to go with the clean look. I don't think I have played game since that had such drastic differences in colors.

snipes1014699d ago

Disagree with me if you will here...but given the extremely clean look of the first game, I think a future title should have cel shading. I think that would look awesome if they did it right. The artistic quality of ME is top notch and they could do pretty much anything with it and it would still look great.

bodybombs4699d ago

i love cell shading, however, im not sure if id like it for this game. i think what set it off for me the most was that it didnt feel so much like a cartoon

Personally, I got bored of Mirror's Edge after the first couple hours, but I did enjoy the free-runner gameplay.

If this truly happens, hopefully they'll add in a deeper gameplay experience and story, as well as a brand-new world full of awe but still remain somewhat minimalist in terms of colour.

Definitely a pretty game. Just not my cup of tea. Looking forward to future developments.

Longsama4699d ago

WAT!? THAT WOULD BE SOOO FREAKIN AWESOME!

Gamingisfornerds4699d ago

That would be absolutely amazing! Mirrors Edge has such underrated visuals.

Paragon4699d ago

That would - indeed - be awesome. Mirror's Edge was so unique, and the graphics themselves were amazing and very clean to me.

Looking back to the failed parkour of 2016's Mirror's Edge Catalyst

Kaan writes: "Mirror's Edge will likely never get a third try. The second game does not look like a cheap effort. By all accounts it is beautiful, especially with its FPS Boost enhancements. The city glows at nights and shines in the day. Lights will reflect off of Catalyst’s many structures made of glass. It’s spectacular to run through. But such a lavish production often comes with risk aversion and sadly Catalyst crumbles under this pressure. It’s held back by the pressure to conform, rather than trying to be genuinely different."

The parkour was great. It was just the story and characters didn't get interesting until the final moments and then it was to late.

FPS Boost at 120fps: Battlefield 1/4/5 - Titanfall 1/2 - Mirror's Edge Catalyst Tested

Digital Foundry: Microsoft's FPS Boost support expands again, this time with 120Hz upgrades for 12 games and a 60fps boost for one! We decided to check out the improvement to some of our favourite games in the line-up, including the three Battlefield games that are supported, Titanfall and Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Which consoles support which games, what's the performance really like and are there resolution compromises?

FPS boost is a nice feature. Cant wait for more games to get that.

Eonjay1089d ago

While FPS boost is nice, I feel like it is the bare minimum in upgrades and only helps those with 120 capable TVs. Most of these games are PC titles as well. These games should be patched to run high/ultra PC video setting.

ActualWhiteMan1089d ago

Microsoft is killing it. Meanwhile Sony only lets developers upgrade older games if they make a PS5 version. Which means, less games getting upgrades on Sony’s offering.

jukins1089d ago

Alternatively seems to be a focus on releasing newer games? People barely played the games before 120 fpsnisnt gong to change that. Not to mention the people with the capable tv.

nickanasty2061089d ago (Edited 1089d ago )

Soon this will not be the case though, and all of these other added perks like 120fps on older games will just be other great additions and features that PS users do not have available to them. I think any additional updates to features for games is something that shouldn't be discredited. Once Microsoft starts rolling out the new games on a regular basis, this argument is not going to age well. For now, you are correct on the new game front, but that is all going to change here soon enough. Sure most argue the "Wait until E3" remark over and over, but that will certainly be a thing of the past with everything Microsoft is working on now. Good things come to those who wait is the way I look at it for now.

***Once Microsoft starts rolling out the new games on a regular basis, this argument is not going to age well.***

This argument hasn't aged well for a long time now.

foker1089d ago

They are really killing it,.. They haven't released a new first party game in 600 days if not more

SpineSaw1089d ago

Now wait that's not true. 600 days is looong time and they did release a few First Party games that no one played or no one can remember by name but you do make a good point and it don't really matter if its been 6 days or 6yrs for Xbox First Party what they've released has been poor at best.

Army_of_Darkness1089d ago (Edited 1089d ago )

@actualwhiteman

Killing it? Ms? Lmfao! Boosting fps on old last gen games on a new gen console while not releasing a single first party next gen game is killing it to you?! 🤣😂
Meanwhile.... Sony what? Oh has been focusing on releasing actual new first party games. Funny, you forgot to mention that part bud.

Christopher1089d ago

***Meanwhile Sony only lets developers upgrade older games if they make a PS5 version.***

Well, this is just factually incorrect. The Division 2 got an upgrade for PS5 but is running the PS4 version. Other games have had similar.

Man, that makes me want to reinstall the OG Titanfall... seeing people still playing it. Memories

Destiny10801089d ago

battlefield 4, 720p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer drops down to 98fps
battlefield 1, 792p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked
battlefield 5, 1080p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked
mirror's edge catalyst, 936p 120fps, campaign locked
titanfall 2, 810p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked, series s not so good
titanfall 1, 792p 120fps, campaign locked, multiplayer locked, no s support for this game

its better then nothing, if they were upped to 4k i would have been impressed, titanfall 1 looks so much better on Pc

darthv721089d ago

It is called "fps boost"... not "res boost"

Destiny10801089d ago (Edited 1089d ago )

titanfall 2, is 4k on the xbox one x, why not "fps boost"
Battlefield 1, is 4k on the xbox one x, why not "fps boost"

DJStotty1089d ago

"titanfall 2, is 4k on the xbox one x, why not "fps boost""

Erm, no

"In general, the One X plays out between 1440p and 1800p with rises to 4k (2160p) in quiet scenes with little activity."

On topic, this is a FPS boost, not a resolution patch so you did not need to add the resolutions for base vanilla xbox. BC normally uses the xbox one version, as opposed to the xbox one X "patched" version to answer your question about resolution.

Either way, all games will use the built in upscaler on either your TV, or the xbox series X to display an upscaled 4K image (not native).

That along with Auto-HDR should result in a good enough reason to replay these games at the new improved framerate.
