Mirror’s Edge Teaser – Running Games
Tuesday 6 May 2008 @ 4:50 pm | By tskiller 5 Comments
It is certainly nice to see something that’s not battlefield come out of the fine production studio that is DICE. It is also really nice to actually see some stuff from Mirror’s Edge, a game that looks amazing for such little hype. From what we know, in the utopian future, all electronic communications are monitored for the 1984-esque government, so for a truly secure document to be transmitted, it must be delivered by hand. So, we get all these crazy Asians running on the tops of buildings like madmen. Sign me up!

This is Johnny Mnemonic meets Prince of Persia.
Never thought I’d see a game that featured more parkour than Prince of Persia! Looks interesting enough and its refreshing to see a 360 game without BROWN coming out of every texture. I’m loving the color pallete!
I, for one, applaud this game solely on the basis of the colour. The brown-grey palette is kind of old. Kind of reminds me of P.N.03, which had a white motif instead.
I wonder if the parkour thing will work in first-person, though. Jumping puzzles and first-person didn’t mix well in the past.
P.N. 03 is a great comparision! I’m thinking the parkour in first person could work if its highly…. enhanced by the engine, meaning it helps you do it right, otherwise it can be downright frustrating.
At the start of the video, the game gave me a very ‘breakdown’ like vibe. But the more it went on, the less impressed i was.
I’m not sure how much is scripted, and how much is really up to you in this game (and the fact of just how well the controls WILL turn out)
I’ll still be giving it a go when it comes out.
Count me in! I love the color palette!
The thing that freaks me out is that the character does not have a reflection in any of the glass windows :O
