Mirror's Edge trailer posted

reported May 8, 2008 by Brian Ambrozy

Filed under: gaming

Mirror's Edge looks to have taken some cues from Portal and Assassin's Creed. The trailer makes the game seem clean, immersive, and pretty intense. I haven't heard too much about the game yet, except that it is heavily influenced by parkour. Ostensibly, you play a courier. What you are delivering and to whom is mysterious at this point, but does it really matter? Check out the video!

    I'm totally down for this.

    Now SHE fights like a man. Guerrilla combat is awesome.

    I think it looks super cool- and it's nice to see a female heading a game that doesn't have double D boobs.

    An Asian woman in a video game that actually looks Asian. Holy ****.

    The game looks awesome, the environment and atmosphere alone are intriguing enough. Futuristic but not with hints of like utopian big brotherishness to it.

    OH NICE! but why does it have to be for ps3

  7. Your Amish Daddy said May 9, 2008 4:00pm (ET)

    Because the PS3 has alot of untapped power, and I bet it surpasses the storage limit on the 360 by a dozen or so gigs.

  8. primesuspect said May 9, 2008 4:02pm (ET)

    It's for 360, PS3, AND PC. The PS3's "processing power" is useless for most games because of cross-platforming.

  9. UPSWeezer said May 9, 2008 4:03pm (ET)

    yay PC. Ill probably need to upgrade for that game

    PC Gets one too?! And I was like....Hells yeah.

    Mirrors Edge looks promising. I really like the style and it's (hopefully) high level of immersion. They've got cool mechanics down, lets just hope they make it fun and constricted. I'll be buying this for PC, but here's to hoping it doesn't suffer from consoleitis like so many other cross platform releases.

    Beyond Good and Evil was such a fantastic game. <3

    Very sweet looking. I like the kicking the shotgun out of the baddies' hands and then smashing them down to the ground in a kick/stranglehold.

    One of my all-time favs. I own 2 copies of it and played through it close to 10 times.

  16. UPSWeezer said May 13, 2008 3:52pm (ET)

    Ill take a copy of your hands. ive never played it

  17. Your Amish Daddy said May 13, 2008 4:03pm (ET)

    Might wanna just invest in Gametap. It's got a ton of great games, and a few really bad ones. But for 9 bucks a month, you really can't go wrong.

    I was thinking the same thing weezer...

  19. RWB said May 14, 2008 3:46am (ET)

    Game looks fantastically good, but will it turn out to be just another 1-3hr game like portal?

  20. UPSWeezer said May 14, 2008 2:31pm (ET)

    New release on Steam - Beyond Good and Evil - $8.99 for anyone who needs it to get pumped for Mirror's Edge.

  21. primesuspect said May 14, 2008 2:48pm (ET)

    REALLY? TOTALLY worth $9!

    I love how the colors really distinguish what you can interact with. Its easy to tell that anything red means you can run/grab/climb/jump/etc with it.

    Makes it too simple.

    Innstead of it being 'k, wall there, pole there, gap there, guy there. If i jump off the wall, swing around the pole, jump the gap, and roundhouse kick the guy on the way down. im good."

    The red means its more like 'OMG FOLLOW THE RED PAINTED ROAD!!!!!"

    Another game like this is Stranglehold. That game looks INTENSE!

    Supposedly it only starts out like that as a kind of training wheels thing - the further you get into the game, the less and less red you see, and you get to start picking your own path out.

    Stranglehold was a joke compared to any of these games (Assassin's, Mirror's, etc). Being able to slide over any flat surface and engage bullet time is cute, but it's nowhere near the level of immersion and movability of AC and ME.

    Everyone who hasn't played it. BUY Beyond Good and Evil on Steam IMMEDIATELY. You will NOT regret it.

    Weezer, you can bum a copy if you want. PS2 or PC, take your pic. I can also bring the disks to the LAN if anyones interested, but seriously, it's worth 9 bucks. And that 9 bucks JUST may help sway Ubisoft into finally green-lighting a sequel.

  28. UPSWeezer said May 15, 2008 12:51pm (ET)

    Ill take a PS2 version please and thank you.

  29. UPSWeezer said May 16, 2008 5:56pm (ET)

    You know, give the version you think is best.
