Video: It's incredible, it's amazing, it's Mirror's Edge
Coming from Sony's recent Playstation media event (at least something good comes from those, hoozah!) is a brand new, all in-game footage, delicious ball of awesomeness trailer for Mirror's Edge. And did we already say it's a delicious ball of awesomeness? Because it is. Witness DICE's upcoming and "true" first person experience as main character Faith jumps from building to building, leaps through the air, slides, glides and kicks the crap out of gun wielding baddies with ... her legs. We're excited and truly believe that Mirror's Edge has that special something. Enjoy!

I think this game is really artistic. It looks beautiful and I can't wait to try it. It needs more colour though and judging by EA you will have to pay extra for the colour.

The Realtime Worlds offices are about 10 minutes from here, I could always pop in an give them a nudge if you like.

That looks astounding! I was trying to remember the name of this game when I saw some clip about the use of colour in the game. I really hope it's as easy to play as the video makes out. Can't wait.

To those already bashing the game:
You really shouldn't be attacking so soon, and for things like graphics or lack of showing "what you do". Clearly, this is early on development, and they wanted to put something out there so people could see what they are working on. Every game does this... Look back at early videos of the biggest games, even your favorites. You'll see, games start out unpolished and "meh" as you so elegantly put it, but they refine and evolve into the awesome that some of the become.
So in short, chill out. These comment boards always get filled up with naive comments bashing tech demos and early footage. Give it a shot, this game actually looks pretty sick when you consider what they are trying to do. 1st person crackdown, with a chick...No complaints here.
Peace, Nick

wow and wow. nice graphics. even though graphics are not everything (gameplay is most important), it shows what the PS3 is capable of.

Go to Amazon dot com and buy Breakdown for 4.99 USD.
How I love that game, and how I've longed for it's influence in "FPS" titles since. Can't wait for Mirror's Edge, been on my most wanted since it first popped up in Magazines!
Wish more developers would tackle this style of innovative Action / Adventure gameplay and not just put out generic FPSs, and to think it's all being funded by EA! *baffled*

This game looks beautiful. This is the first I've seen of it and I'm intrigued.
I am a little sceptical of the control system though, I struggled at times with Crackdown and not falling off the edge of things, not sure how I'll fair in 1st person.
Other than that my only other quibbles are that it seems like advertising for puma's Parkour shoes
http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.tonyhardman.com/images/ppf_final_shoe_pg_1_print__large_.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.tonyhardman.com/Puma_Parkour_Concept.php&h=781&w=1024&sz=76&hl=en&start=1&sig2=4jU7xim7n7fhxxWn4I4OhQ&um=1&tbnid=wfxfxojhkNGHCM:&tbnh=114&tbnw=150&ei=nWwhSOOxIJvo0QTQzPXlAg&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsplit%2Btoe%2Bparkour%2Bshoe%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
(but then it is EA) and also I'd much prefer to go out an do actual Parkour, than do it in a game (something I actually do). Although I don't get to be a sexy girl and kick people in the face in real life.
Final question. Any idea on rating? You can steal peoples guns, but can you shoot them in the face with it?

This game looks like it will offer a new way to play, different from every other first person shooter for sure. Looks remarkably fluid for such an early build too. Can't wait.
