Mirror's Edge demo coming tomorrow

[Draken]

wow one of the better games of the year so far, downloaded it from live in 30 mins ;) can't see any problem with the AA :s well everything tends to look superb on my display :p

Got it on my 360. Fun game! I had expectations for this the first time I heard what it was about. Is there a demo out for the PC yet?

[Massiveterra]

my impressions...

The controls are different. It's not bad, just different. The left trigger ducks/slides while the left bumper jumps, climbs. I understand why they did it, but I can't help but press the A button to jump. I guess it takes some getting used to, but the controls really feel like a driving game rather than an action game.

With that said, the game is really exciting, and when faced with an enemy, there is high anxiety. The disarming/melee, and shooting controls worked a lot more fluid than I thought.

Overall, the demo left me very excited to play the rest of the game. I can see why a lot of people will hate it though. But cheers to DICE for taking the risk of making a very different first-person game.

Sounds like I really need to download this demo for the 360 since I haven't heard about the PC demo yet.

[Green_Eye]

Love it (Y)

by the way, I cannot master the balance beam for the life of me. (for 360, not ps3 motion control)

Really good fun, all the jumping feels natural after a few times.

awesome downloading :D

[Spookie]

Really, really want this now. :(

[Pajter]

I was very impressed with the Xbox360 demo. Now I'm kinda bummed, 'cause I don't have any money to get this on release.

[Remysaus]

Had zero expectations for this one, but the demo convinced me, but I've already spent so much on games this month. :( oh well, payday is just around the corner so i might just pick it up on release.

Downloading the demo for the 360 because I just can't wait for the PC one. I'll hopefully have impressions up in a bit.

[Massiveterra]

after playing the demo 4 or 5 times I an now used to the controls and find them very fluid with this type of gameplay.

also, I don't see any anti aliasing issues at all in the 360 demo

[+Mystic MVC]

Awesome, just awesome! I can't believe I am saying this, but I can can definitely see this as a "pulse pounding" game. After the cops started chasing me I was frantically running anywhere to get out. I took a wrong turn and before I knew it the cops were right behind me and I could just feel them breathing down on me.

I know it won't be like that the whole game but wow, it was really fun.

Absolutely fantastic. Just bagged the demo for Xbox 360 and was hooked from start to finish. It's absolutely thrilling. I think I'll have to pick this up when it comes out, no doubt about it and like others have said it does get the pulse racing!

Found the controls a little difficult especially when it got a bit frantic - still not used to first person games on a control pad though so :)

I agree, that was something I forgot to mention. I just had to pause, breathe and remind myself what was what. :p

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Hehe.. I went running up to one of the blue's and proceeded to hit the duck button repeatedly rather than punch.. needless to say I had to replay that section again!

I really can't wait to get a decent TV to enjoy games like this on. After christmas hopefully...

[HTF]

wow, didn't expect to hear such good things from everyone. i guess ill have to try it out on ps3

[+vlsi0n Subscriber¹]

I'm mad... that the demo ended ;)

It had me hooked the entire length of the demo, and actually made me want to buy the game to continue playing it. That seems to be a rare feat lately.

It's a definite buy, tested it on the xbox 360.

I've just played through the 360 demo and the difference between that and the PS3 version is like night and day. Gone are all the jaggy AA issues, everything looks sharp and 10x better. I am without a doubt getting the 360 version, the difference is immense.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Minor differences at best.

Both games look great.

[Sethos]

How about some full-size comparison shots, when you start compressing and resizing images like that any differences magically disappear, especially AA 'issues'.

Best I can do.

If there were any major texture differences or what not, they'd be apparent (see screen 8, differences in sun, etc). Screenshots are native res, they're just suffering pretty badly from JPEG compression.

If you want to go pixel hunting for differences, feel free to go ahead if you own both consoles.

[Sethos]

The 'complaints' seems to be AA related, not textures and whatnot and when you have some horribly compressed images which have even been made smaller, how will you be able to judge that?

EDIT: Yeah just noticed the sides had just been cut

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Screenshots aren't native res, it's two screenshots in one picture?

I thought the screens had been cropped, not two 720p resized into one 720p. Maybe it is, I don't know.

To be frank I posted them as people are starting the comparisons already (Si was saying "night/day, 10x better"), but I don't really care unless differences are major.
