Mirror's Edge demo coming tomorrow


Recommended Posts

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.

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

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...

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.

How about some full-size comparison shots, when you start compressing and downsizing 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.

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

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?

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.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
