PS3 is lead platform for Mirrors Edge for the record.

Can't wait to download :( Damn bandwidth limits!

Whop de doo, may have been the lead platform, but AA is platform agnostic ;) it is well known that 360 can do AA a lot better, so I am very keen to see if they have taken advantage of it. otherwise, it is a stunning looking game. Sound effects, music etc are all spot on. It definitely has more of a racer feel to it though than FPS/Platformer etc, really unique which I love about it.

Just had a quick playthrough, the game is really fun. Controlls are very intuitive, graphics are good but there is HUGE problem with jaggies, I think that's more down to the PS3s inability to handle AA more than the game itself, i'll be interested in seeing the 360 version.

On the plus side, they have the 'whole body' thing down to a tee. It really feels like you're an actual person in the game rather than a bodyless set of floating arms like in Valve games. Looking forward to getting this on release.

I have seen UT 3 on the PS3 and the jaggies don't look so bad, but then again Mirror's Edge is very very White, that makes them more noticeable.

ohh... Mirrors Edge uses the UT 3 Engine... BTW

Seriously, I love how people blame their crap connections or their crap ISP's for bad PSN speeds. I truly do.

So sorry, but I download things on the PSN just as fast if not faster than Live, as AB pointed out, I got Ratchet N Clank Quest For Booty in less than 15 minutes, and it was over 2 GIGS.

But thats right, I have the magic PS3, the only one in the world, that downloads fast. :rolleyes:

It sure as hell seems like it sometimes :laugh:

My PS3 download speeds are awful as well and I know it's a pretty common thing around here and EG.

Edit: wow for a change my speed doesn't suck :rofl: Not to mention I haven't set up the ports for the download and I have torrents dling/upling too. A nice change :yes:

Can't wait to try the game!

I still don't know if I am going to get this for the PS3 or PC. I never could grasp the concept of FPSs on a console. I know, I know, it's not a FPS, but I still have to wait to see what controls are more comfortable for me. There are only a few genre of games, IMHO, that console controllers are suited for.

Just had a whirl on the demo; it seems fun. I can imagine after a few sessions it would become quite natural to flow through a long level stringing together combinations of moves. The use of Sixaxis is nice too. It's refreshing to see game consider it as part of the gameplay, rather than doing the standard "throw it in at the end" approach, which always fails.

Oh, and for the record I download the demo at max speed. :p

Why didn't I see this thread earlier?! I'm downloading now. Currently at 8%, and it's 00:46. Looks like I'm gonna have to pass the time with some WipEout HD and some Unbeatable Banzuke! :D

Downloaded it last night on the PS3. Absolutely love Mirrors Edge, its a brilliant idea for a game thats well executed.

I was a little worried how the controls would work, all in all its extremely fluid and you get to pull off some really cool jumps and disarm moves.

Another game to add to the purchase list....there are too many games coming out!

Ok i just played the demo and other than the AA issue on the PS3 (haven't tried it on 360), the game is a must buy...

The city looks amazing and the whole thing feels very organic, from the heavy breathing to the momentum you gain when you jump/run...

I think im probably going to wait for the PC version though.

On my TV the jaggies look horrible on the PS3 version (the game doesn't scale to 1080i :() so for me the definite version will be the PC, where i turn the AA to 11 :)

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
