How does Dice have time to work on both this & BF3? If true they are a really talented Dev team.

MidnytRain5100d ago

Some development studios are broken into separate teams. At Insomniac Games, the guys who work on Resistance are not the exact same people who work on Ratchet & Clank.

Quagmire5100d ago

Must be full on for them. Tools of Destruction, then Resistance 3, then All 4 One, then Overstrike...

limewax5100d ago

They have been for a while, they tried to pitch it before back when the battlefield 3 announcement trailer was shown, but it was rejected. They did say they it wasn't the end for the franchise and its good to see talk about the project surfacing again

DeadlyFire5100d ago

The game wasn't pitched and canceled. Just one direction of taking the sequel was pitched and canceled. People take things so far beyond their context.

limewax5100d ago

I never said it was cancelled, it was rejected, I never actually said anything about it being cancelled?

By rejected does that not indicate that the build shown was rejected, As is often the case with many game. Has nothing to do with being cancelled or axed at all and I never indicated that it did

theonlylolking5100d ago

They have been given the time to do both. Think about how long it has been since mirrors edge 1?

Convas5100d ago

Man, a guy can only hope!

fatalred alarm5100d ago

agreed, I really liked number one, very creative game.

EliteAssass1n5100d ago

Kinda pissed off ME wasn't in the Steam Summer sale. I really want to play it again.

Spenok5099d ago

Agreed. The first was very under appreciated. Let's hope number 2 does better in the sales department.

"DICE, make it so warp speed 7."

like now!

MidnytRain5100d ago

I'm not entirely sure he was hinting at a ME2. It sounds like he could be trying to say that they are busy on other projecs, and while they they have a passion for the IP, they may not have the time to explore the sequel at the moment.

Tachyon_Nova5100d ago

Look at how he said it, it is clear he talking about Mirrors Edge

MidnytRain5100d ago

He could be, but he said, "we're working on something" instead of "we're working on it", so I'm not 100% sure.

Caffo015100d ago (Edited 5100d ago )

“We have not abandoned the franchise. And, you know, we are working on something ( clearly related to ME ) – but I’m not willing to talk more about that.”

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.

Knightofelemia177d ago (Edited 177d 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.

goken177d 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.

Pyrofire95177d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn177d ago

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

__y2jb177d 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 .

Inverno176d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex176d 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_Suzumiya876d ago

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

SonyStyled876d ago (Edited 876d ago )

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

jasonismoney876d ago

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

SonyStyled876d 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

cthulhucultist876d 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

Fist4achin876d ago

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

SonyStyled876d 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

JEECE876d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi876d ago

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

JEECE876d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
