also, look at www.on-mirrors-edge.com ... under the screenshot section, under miscellanious... some of those pics look abit portal-ish?

imagine... doing somersaults though portals... oh well maybe one day...

that sure as hell looks like portal. also, it has man-hands, so it was probably part of the concept prototype.

and then there's this...

From the first screenshots and movies I saw it reminded me of Portal, but that didn't temper my enthousiasm at all. I want this game bad, I only hope it's not as short as Portal, that would be a bummer, since Portal was quite easy and could be completed in a matter of hours, even the "harder challenge" rooms were pretty easy imho.

Can't wait for the 360 release. :-)

Thank you!

I really like the song, I think I will have to purchase the OST when it comes out.

first time i heard the song with vocals. sounds great. the instrumental with gameplay is equally as great

Seems Youtube are removing all the Mirrors Edge videos pretty swiftly not seen much of this game in motion, hope it's as good as everyone is saying :D

here are all of the Mirror's Edge videos you'll need

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.

not really

i hope it takes some skill to do stuff rather than in AC where its just hold down a trigger and you can do anything

I just played it on PS3, and wow. It is a great game, it is as good as it looks. Although some parts are hard to figure out, especially the last scene on the demo after the SWAT team shows up on the roof, you would never think that you would have to jump to hang off the rail of the chopper!

Really a nice game, as long as it is not repetitive, it will be a nice game. Although I don't think it is worth full game price, but let's see.. Get the demo on PSN!

What the heck is with that Portal video at the top of this page? The map is identical to that first level of Mirrors Edge..?!

"Sitting at my computer one day, I decided I should make a map in Hammer for the first time in a while. However, I had no inspiration until I saw the magnificent trailer for Mirror's Edge.

I decided I would try to make a copy of the level they showed at E3 in Hammer.

Yes, I'll release it when it's done. I might try and make it into a CSS map just for laughs."

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
