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 :)

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.

      you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
