Mirror's Edge (inspired by parkour and free running)

Major flaw in the post. This game will not use unreal engine 3, it will be using the new Frostbite engine. As far as I can tell, the Frostbite engine (when used in in Battelfield) isn't as beautiful as CryEngine2, but i hope that by the time this game comes out, it will be that and more!

It's definitely using Unreal Engine 3. Frostbite wasn't really much more than an idea when DICE started making this game, so they used Unreal.

I've read in a dutch magazine that the levels play out quite linear, i was hoping it'd be just an entire city and you have to get from point a to b in a mission, however you want to.

edit; just read the music is based on this song;

but was rewritten for the trailer. Edited May 14, 2008 by Remysaus

:o Amazing! I hope this game isn't coming out soon. I've already got Rock Band preordered, and there's only 9 days to go! I've also got MGS4 preordered. There's also Race Driver GRID. I'm gonna be really skint this year! :D

Hadn't heard of this game until i saw the movie and it looked awesome. It would be cool if you could actually fall off the building and still shoot at the enemy.

I showed my friends and they were wondering if the video really was in-game.

[Vandalsquad]

Looks great, ill pick it up :) if anyone can figure out the song that would be awesome aswell unless its just one off for the clip.

[Smashing Pumpkin]

Looks immense :D

Looks like a first person mix of Crackdown and Assassin's Creed.

[Smashing Pumpkin]

Yeah, Assasin's Creed.

This looks like the kind of game where everyone can play and feel cool n good at it, even if they're a beginner.

That's always a good sign.

I say just wait for more updates and maybe a full on trailer. Hopelly a real release date. I will have to put this in my list of games for 2008, already got 10 games i want.. i will be poor soon lol

[Ironman273]

This HD trailer on Gametrailers goes into a little more detail and the quality is great: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34018.html

Nice, just shows more stuff like texture and colours etc, nice little footage, can't wait for the game now, want it now lol

[Smashing Pumpkin]

Style and gameplay reminds me very much of Portal.

These movementy based games are awesome, loved the analysis.

Does anyone have any idea on a release date?

That's a pretty tough analysis, I had to watch it twice to soak it all in :p.

Looks good, although linear gameplay ruins the idea a bit. But being first person, it suppose it's limited a bit.

I think that how to get to place to place will be up to you. Kinda like Portal. You've gotta clearly get from A too B but you can do it in many ways. I'd imagine (and hope) that this is similar. But I guess ultimately it will be pretty linear.

New pics and new video!

Wow! :o

[Argi]

Assuming that's in-game footage and not pre-rendered (despite what they say) I'm completely blown away with what they've shown. Absoloutely can't wait to check it out myself.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Definitely a must buy for me (Y)

I love the concept, i love the graphics, i love the art direction and in one of those trailers they had an awesome track at the end, so i love the music too.

[ATGC]

Did I hear it right? You can't free roam around the city.....only specific paths you can take done by the creators? :angry:

Even if it is like that i dont care, as long as the levels keep getting harder, challenging and changing.... Like Portal

Also, most free roam games become repetitive way too fast...

[whYeNQue]

i like that it has a set path with slight variations... i want to see the option of doing time attacks through levels! also having useless hidden areas that are only accessible to the most skilled would be awesome.

hopefully there are levels that there aren't any people at all getting in the way. shooting seems tacked on, hope it's only a minor part of the game. cos it seems cheap to slow down/stop when free running to kill someone. shooting them to disarm the threat as you speed past them would be ok.

edit: saw e3 demo... sweet, can complete without firing a single bullet. awesome. this game gets major respect from me.

omg... did i just say that about an EA game... the world is a very different place... i think i need to go outside and smell the flowers.

no, you didn't hear right

you need to get from point A to point B without getting caught. you can take whatever path you wish. the "red" runner vision is just to help you if you get stuck and can't figure out a way forward

[Massiveterra]

New story trailer. Love the concept of "couriers." this one is far more superior to the one that was released earlier. Wish it was november already.
