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.

[CY:G]

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

Yeah, the game does look and feel very UE3 in game, but that's no bad thing, it's an awesome engine. I think they wrote their own lighting engine which stands out. Overall a must buy :)

Sorry Larry if you think I'm trolling too, after waiting 6 hours I'm about to desist and try tomorrow with live, I just wanted to play games on my PS3 for a change :yes:

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

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.

[Si_]

To me the game doesn't feel like an fps, there's no real aiming to do. It definitely feels more like a first-person-racer kind of thing. I think console controls feel really natural, although i'd prefer the proper triggers on the 360 controller.

[FlibbyFlobby]

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

I would like the PC demo, arg.

[MightyJordan]

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

[MightyJordan]

Yay! It's finished, and I'm installing right now! :D

[MightyJordan]

Right, just played through it, and I LOVE it!!! It's absolutely brilliant! I wish I had money to get this and Guitar Hero World Tour! :D

[nvme]

I would like the PC demo, arg.

[MightyJordan]

It is, but not at the same time as the PS3 and 360 versions. The current status is "Late Winter".

Mine is still downloading, nearly done though :)

[ReAnimation]

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!

[Sethos]

Its out on Xbox Live (Y)

Thanks for the heads up!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Played it last night and I will def be buying. I was pretty certain I would, but the demo just confirmed it for me.

Now which platform do I go for, 360 or PC or both! :unsure:

[CY:G]

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 :)

[.KICK]

The 360 has AA issues as well unfortunately :(

[CY:G]

Im guessing its more noticeable on larger TVs running at 720p, can you guys post what your TV size is and if the jaggies bother you...

I have a 55" HDTV and at 720p the jaggies look horrible.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Amazing game all around.
