Mirror's Edge demo coming tomorrow

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

360 screens look less blurry and sharper to me. Shadows are much better in 360 too.

Those screens really don't do justice to just how big the differences are when at 1080p on a full size screen. The AA is painfully poor on the PS3, in fact I would say it was a 'major' issue as it is so different on the 360. Just for example when you start the story mode and you have the huge text "a DICE game" etc it looks like someones just hacked away with it with a saw, where as on the 360 it looks smooth and as it should.

I tried to take some pics but my camera doesn't capture it properly

I've yet to play on the 360, I may download just to see the differences myself. Also I can finally play with comfortable controls :laugh:

Me too (Y) I need to play through the demo a few more times so I stop spacking out when I come across the bunch of cops you can fight, I keep ending up hitting the face buttons and end up just facing the other away etc haha. I'm just annoyed the demo isn't longer :D

Has anyone pre-ordered yet to get the demo unlock code, which enables the Time Trial mode?

Not yet, but I will be preordering from Game soon as you get a pretty cool free t-shirt.

Nice I just saw that (Y) Preordered the 360 version with the large tshirt :D

[Sethos]

Gaming T-shirts? That gets you the ladies (Y) ... Oh wait :p

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Seems (from what I saw) that Sony scooped the Mirror's Edge advertising same as MS scooped GTA4 advertising.

It's Fenchurch branded as well :p

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Yeah - spotted the Fenchurch T-shirt offer. Looks quite cool and would easily be worth ?10-?15 at least in the shops by itself.

[Spookie]

It's Fenchurch branded as well :p

That's me preordered then. :p

I wonder if they are going to fix the AA on the PS3 version.

I wonder if they are going to fix the AA on the PS3 version.

Doubt it could be fixed, down to the hardware and keeping an acceptable performance.

[Massiveterra]

I'm surprised about the issues considering that DICE used the PS3 as the primary developing platform

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

You know, there never has been a source which says it was lead development on PS3. I think that all started because we saw the first ingame footage from some Sony event last year and because it will get exclusive DLC. I've yet to actually read a source which says its PS3 leading though.

So that's probably why it does have AA issues as it's actually being developed alongside the 360/pc.

Recently, Sony has talked about developers using the PlayStation 3 as their native development platform if their aim is to get quality games, whether they will eventually develop it for the PS3 or the Xbox 360.

In connection with this, EA DICE has just detailed that they are currently using the PS3 as the lead platform in the development of Mirror's Edge (PS3, Xbox 360, PC).

This was detailed in the September issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine (OPM). Therefore, PS3 fans should be delighted to experience a high-quality game knowing that it was developed with the PS3 in mind.

To those of you who haven't seen Mirror's Edge yet, this game is an action-FPS that incorporates acrobatics as a gameplay element. Look out for its release later this year on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Bottom of the article.

Ah ok ty, pretty poor then with the issues :no: Although they can be overlooked for the DLC.

If i'm honest, it does seem as if people use the PS3 as a lead platform just to be able to get decent performance out of the game. I mean look how much better it looks on the 360. How many games have come out for the 360, then out on the PS3 later but been delayed or the devs just shooting for 'comparable' performance and graphics. If you have both consoles I see no reason you'd get the PS3 version unless it turns out better than the demo.

[SMELTN]

hmm looks pretty nice.. Seeing it side by side on the PS3 and 360 I see no differences to make you want to buy 1 over the other. God I should have got a xbox over a Wii... stupid kids :)

Any word on the PC demo? Would like to try it out there.
