Saw the footage earlier today and liked what I saw. My only problem is that it didn't seem like you were moving all that fast.

Hopefully they nail the controls perfectly because all the pinpoint accuracy and balance that seems to be required is going to become tiresome if the controls are counter-intuitive. I dare say they will employ the Sixaxis for balancing on the PS3.
Does she have a stamina guage or anything, because in the trailer she seems to be running full pelt for ages without any ill effects? Mind you the pace is a refreshing change. My one criticism of The Darkness was that even at full pace Jackie was about as fast as rolling a block of concrete down a moderate decline.

The main principle of Parkeur (as I understand it) is to use the least energy most efficiently/to cover the most distance. The speed is more from gathering momentum than physical exersion (& no doubt if she stopped properly then she'd keel over echaustedProgrammed_For_Damage said:

I think the problem with that game is that it looks great. It's clearly pleasing.
But the gameplay? Sorry, but everytime I play a FPS, I disable the vomit incuding movements.
It's too early to get a strong impression about that game with such a short trailer, but what I saw is that jumping walls, fences and sliding underneath pipes seems uninspiring.
They claim that the 3D platforming will work great. I'm afraid it could quickly turn out into a dumbed down game wherein you're taken by the hand. That portion of level felt too much like a test level on rail than any really open level.
Actions seem contextual and flashy.
I'd have appreciated seeing diversity and multiple routes to reach the same objective. This would have been nice.
We'll see in the next trailer, and in the demo.

That's funny. I ended up muting it out of disgust.Mstrswrd said:
Whatever. Beauty is in the eye.
I really hope they pull this off well. First person jumping puzzles always pissed me off (I'm looking at you, Half-Life 2), so I hope this will expel some of that anger.
They say that guns will play a very small role in the game. That's good. It could ruin what looks so promising.
The panting is a little bit annoying. Sure its realistic, but I still don't like it. Love the concept though.
Don't hype yourself up about games, it's unhealthy, even if you like it when it comes out, it may just be the hype clouding your mind.
I saw this months ago, when it was unveiled in the Brit gaming mag Edge and I'm psyched. What has me concerned is more or less what you said. I don't know how many of you played Breakdown for the XBox, but it is a game characterized as an "interesting experiment" in first person gaming rather than a good game. Hopefully, Mirror's Edge will turn out better than that intriguing mess.Dcarty745 said:
