Meh, good riddance. Don't get me wrong, I loved how clever and creative the environments were, but it was also one of the most frustrating games I've ever played in my freakin' life.

I can see what you mean, It had big flaws thing is; I somehow missed them, apart from the combat. Like the Mako in Mass effect and other things most other gaming people find very annoying I somehow never encountered the problem.

Same with Mirrors Edge: I acknoledge that there are problems but apart from the end combat I was not bothered by them.

I didn't enjoy playing the first one very much but I always had a little bit of a soft spot for it just because it was really different to everything else of there.

I really enjoyed Mirrors Edge, and am a little Disappointed. It was different and quite enjoyable. It forced you to think on your feet, if youll excuse the expression. You couldnt just pick up a gun and shoot. And when there was shooting, and I was running, it felt like what most of us would be doing in a gunfight. RUNNING LIKE HELL.

Was not a fan of Mirrors Edge. Make it 3rd person with a customisable character, more open world, complex but masterable controls, and some clever multiplayer modes and I'd care about ME2 being cancelled.

I'd rather see the free running mechanic adapted to new title. Sequels are over rated.
In my opinion that could push the envelope abit. Though I liked setting of Mirrors Edge.

I didn't like how that mako problem was resolved. "Hmm the mako is boring they say,.. remove IT" instead of "Hmm the mako is boring,.. lets make it FUN"

For some reason it's become standard practice to remove things that receive complaints instead of fixing them.

...am I the only one who took one look at the title and pictured Faith making porn in an ice-skating rink?

I am?
oh.

OT: I'm really not surprised. Mirror's Edge was fairly innovative, but held only a niche appeal. Another idea devoured by the marketing beast.

**edit** (now that I can actually see my post... damn forum goblins)
Also, I absolutely loved the Mako in Mass Effect. It had shortcomings (physics, limited exploration zone), but it was fun and immersive for me. Haters just have a short attention span, as far as I'm concerned. Sci-fi exploration is supposed to be a little bit time-consuming.

Screw that!! I loved Mirror's Edge! It was far from perfect, but that's what one should expect from a game as experimental as that. A seuqel was exactly what was needed to more fully develop the concept and make for a better game! Dangit EA!!

part of me thinks becuase it is easier. In my mind the problem with things like the mako is not actually "the game" but " the players". Some players find ways around the problem, Like how I figured a good way to controll the mako and was not anoyed.

Perhaps people don´t have enough patiense, or I am just different. Although the best game is one that dosent leave a portion of its players frustaded at all.

Since I'm sure they were working on a direct sequel, which never would have worked, rather than a spiritual sequel, I'm glad to see they dropped it.

Only part of the game I was frustrated with was the bullshit checkpoint system.
*Checkpoint saved*
-Run and shoot shit for 15 minutes, die-
RESPAWN AT THE CHECKPOINT 15 MINUTES AGO?!
*Ragequit*

Does this REALLY surprise anyone? I was honestly shocked that there was ever talk of a sequel.

Mirror's Edge was a truly innovative game, I'll give it that. But innovative does not immediately equate good. It's the same with Hard Rain.

You tried, you failed, now do something different.
True, but I fear "something different" will be just another bland shooter in order to make the investors feel less insecure :(
