Mirror's Edge demo coming tomorrow


Recommended Posts

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 :)

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
