wst50 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 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.

Remysaus Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) 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.

MightyJordan Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 :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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/636769-mirrors-edge-inspired-by-parkour-and-free-running/page/2/#findComment-589398866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red. Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 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.

stanley porkchop Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Looks like a first person mix of Crackdown and Assassin's Creed.

Smashing Pumpkin Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 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.

Smashing Pumpkin Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 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? Richard.

Michael1406 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Looks good, although linear gameplay ruins the idea a bit. But being first person, it suppose it's limited a bit.

Guest Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 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.

Argi Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 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.

CY:G Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 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 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Did I hear it right? You can't free roam around the city.....only specific paths you can take done by the creators? :angry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/636769-mirrors-edge-inspired-by-parkour-and-free-running/page/2/#findComment-589560723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

whYeNQue Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) 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.

Massiveterra Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 New story trailer. Love the concept of "couriers." this one is far more superior to the one that was released earlier.
