Mirrors Edge

Looking to be one of the best games to look forward too of the year.

Mirros Edge is a first person parkour style action game. Most of you may not be famliar with Parkour, but it is the art of movement. Just think of a Prince of Persia type game, in 1st person, and in a big city. that sounds pretty cool to me. One of the few games in its genre, Mirrors Edge is shaping up to be a Really good game.

looks like a lot of fun. This game is going to hinge entirely on the controls. Let's hope they got them right.

Yea there kinda taking a shot in the dark for this game.... lets hope they hit the target 😉

What's the plot of Mirrors Edge? Is this game supposed to be out in late 2008?

I really liked what I saw during the EA press conference.

As for the plot, it is set somewhere in the future, all lines of communication is either oppressed or controlled by the government, so they have created these runners who run around with important messages to and from people, we would play one Runner.

Just running around to deliver messages? Sucky plot but at least the fighting, shooting, and running around looks good.

This game will be fantastic if done right.

While the plot is a little vague right now, i recall reading that faith's (player controlled character) sister is kidnapped by the government and now she goes out to save her.

And as Morridini said the government is an oppression and she is a runner.

The game looks ****ing amazing and I cannot wait for it to come out.

Mirror's Edge, along with Prince of Persia, are the two games I'm really looking forward to this fall and both I really want to come out now because I want to play them so badly.

In my opinion, the visual style and how tight the camera control is will make or break this game. And I am desperately hoping for it to succeed.

From what we've seen of the game, with its focus on the character, the plot is likely much deeper than what has so far been revealed.

God yes. I really hope this game turns out as good as it looks to be.

And Nemesis X, the game actually has an active emphasis away from combat. It's there, yes, but it's secondary to all other objectives in the game. Guns have to be discarded once empty, the weapons Faith has can hinder her if they're large enough...you can get an achievement for not firing a single bullet throughout the game.

Same, along with Fable II.

That is one of the main things I really like about this game, I always love to get that option. In games like Splinter Cell I never ever kill (or even knock out) any guards unless I really really have to. I just love to have the possibility to choose.

Also gun's will weigh you down, make you slower etc. I'm going to treat this game more like a puzzle/adventure then an FPS, i won't be using guns i don't think.

The funny thing is I intended to completely forgo guns before they even announced there was an achievement for doing so.

The game does look like it deserves to be bought. Can't wait for it to come out. If there is less fighting in the game then oh well. At least the graphics and the way you move around Spiderman-style looks awesome.

I like the fact that it strays away from combat, It adds a certain uniqueness to the game since, in the vast majority of games, combat is usually a key feature.

Yea, that would be awesome of it was extremely good. the one thing unique about it is that it is 1st person, which kinda changes a lot of things for the parkour style. Lets all just hope EA dice really nails it with this one.

I already mentioned that the guns can hinder you 😛

Same here. It'd be an interesting and fun challenge.

So who's the bad guy in this game?

Why do you assume there's a bad guy? Also as you should have understood, we have hardly any info on the plot yet, no one can say anything more atm.
