Mirror's Edge: I think I'm drooling.

The first game that I had ever really gotten psyched about was Bioshock (I haven't been a gamer that long). Well, looking at Mirror's Edge that feeling is coming back. I'll no doubt spend hours scavenging the depths of the Internet looking for any taste of the content in the months leading up to its release.

But enough about me. How do you feel about this upcoming game?

I've been following this game since I heard of it (about 2 months ago). Go to gametrailers for a few interviews, but that's really the only other media about the game that I can think of.

Honestly, it looks wonderful. During games, I'm always thinking to myself, "Can't I run any faster?" This seems to remedy that quite nicely, along with making it an integral part of the gameplay.

However, I don't own one of your fancy newfangled machines, mostly because the 360 is a mound of FPS games and I can't shoot an imaginary gun for a complimentary pack of tissues.

I like the fact that acquiring weapons is low priority, I loved Assassin's Creed but I wonder if
it should have been more like this...I know I'm speaking about a title that has NO actual footage released yet! (though all the stills so far contain footage *sigh* sorry)

 

[Sylocat]

It does look interesting, especially since there's no guns, and the story looks actually quite original. I do hate it when they put jumping puzzles in first-person games, but it might actually work well here.

So basicly Assassins Creed is a strange futuristic world were everything is clean? Could be great, could be decent.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Assassin's Creed Sans knives. Me likey! I like how high quality it looks too, motion blur and depth of field with Advanced lighttracing.
I still don't know how they can get computers to render that stuff at 30+ times a second when my computer takes 2 minutes per frame at that quality. Must be the game engine...

 

[babyblues]

Interesting.

 

[assassin18]

Can't wait, high hopes for the game. The best part of assassin creed was the free running!

 

[Scolar Visari]

Being someone generally interested in running has definitely got me interested in this game. I like the stark contrast between the sterile white and the warm red colors in the environment.

First person parkour game? When is this going to be released?

 

[Easykill]

Looks pretty damn awesome. Thanks for telling me about this, I'll be keeping tabs on it.

They say late 2008, but you know what game devs are like.

That makes me a sad panda.

The most awesome part of FPS games is that everytime my character falls from a great height, it does really feel weird in me guts.
Visually, I like the pristine and overburn concrete setting.

That said, here's the danger: platform game in 3D.
They generally all fail, unless they're on rails within a 3D decor.

It could be neat, I'll wait to see how things turn out. I thought Dark Sector would be neat and it did not turn out so well.

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

Gimme now gimme now gimme now

im trying at least a restrained version of this stuff in Rl and this would be perfect to releive my frustrations when i fail myself

 

[josh797]

i saw it in game informer, and immediately put it on the list of must buy for me. im so excited for a parkour game, and im hoping against hope that they dont cock it all up. it looks sweet, kinda what assasins creed could have been, as has been said. point is that im WAY excited for this game. ill be keeping tabs.

Above is the link to the first gameplay video. Looks great. As usual with me, it's on gametrailers.

That looks really kewl. I hope the movement is as fluid as it looks in that vid, & that the game doesnt have any framerate issues at all. As for no gun combat (despite the final scene in that vid having a gun firing) I hope they stick to that & for that matter dont make combat a key part of it. Gun combat in martial arts games really cheapens it imo since guns tend to make the hand to hand stuff kinda pointless.
