[Official] Mirror's Edge

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Introduction

Mirror?s Edge is a first person, parkour game from DICE and Electronic Arts. Despite the city?s vibrant exterior, each window polished to sheen and each billboard splashed with primary hues, Mirror?s Edge is set in a bleak world, under strict totalitarian regime.

Electronic Arts

With even letters and emails under constant surveillance, those who which to converse unmonitored hire Runners, psycho geographic athletes who can move silently across rooftops.

Setting[/color]

The game's name derives from the mirror-like aesthetic of the city of tall, gleaming skyscrapers and Faith's existence on the fringes of that city along with other dissidents, who have been pushed to the edge.

Though set in a seemingly utopian city environment with low crime, clean streets, and sterile architecture, it is ruled by a totalitarian government regime that conducts unbridled levels of surveillance on citizens. In this world of communications monitoring, the only way to deliver confidential information between parties is to employ couriers (called runners) to physically deliver the information.

Aside from white, the city is dominated by primary colors and orange, but it has little of the color green, emphasizing the sterile atmosphere?even plants and trees are white. Grey was also avoided in order to distinguish Mirror's Edge from other games. Color is important as an indicator of health, since HUD has been eliminated from the game; as Faith takes damage and her health level decreases, the city's colors desaturate.

[addc182]

yeh this game looks great but i'll probably have to wait to get it until xmas

i love the demo, and i think theyve done a great job with the controls which are probably one of the most important parts of this game, im glad that it will take timing and skill to be able to do (at least to get good times)

[FiB3R]

Very pretty post Audio. LOL

Played the demo today (PS3), and my only complaint is that it was FAR too short. As far as I can tell, (from the tiny demo) this game is gonna rock. :)

Can't wait to get my hands on the full version.

As for the game, not sure whether to pick it up. If I do, it'll be when it's cheaper.

In regards to what I just read and had to delete, unbelievable.

[+vlsi0n Subscriber¹]

I think this topic and this one should be merged.

Anyway, the release date is coming closer :yes:

[PL_ Veteran]

Game gives you a free t-shirt? :o

Looks nice, will have to download the demo tonight :happy:

Yup, usually i'm not a fan of game based t-shirts, but that one's pretty cool. And it's fenchurch, so win-win :D

[Scirwode]

Beautiful game (Y)

Shame I am broke :(

I'm with you, I don't have the finances to get the game, no matter how eager I am to play it :( .

Scirwode

[WastedJoker]

Thanks, DL :)

I'm probably going to wait until this has been out for a little while before purchasing - I've got Fallout 3, Farcry 2, LBP and Dead Space to complete yet.

[Pheee]

Played the demo, its a must buy for me, just not sure if it will be on release.

Will have to ask for it for xmas.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I realised last night the game comes out the same day as GH4 and Banjo :cry:

Can't wait to play it :yes: Looking forward to the tshirt as well :p

[MillionVoltss]

Awesome demo, another preorder, lol havent touched MASS EFFECT yet and got Banjo coming out next week and guitar hero, probably the best time ever to own an Xbox360.

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Think I may have to go pre-order this. The Fenchurch T-shirt is a big bonus - as if the game wasn't already good enough to make me want to get it!

[mail]

I want this game so much but I literally have no money :(

[Pajter]

Same here. It's ****ing killing me. :'(

I need to get a new job asap.

[Ricardo Gil]

I'm still not sold on the look. Gets too repetitive after a while :/

[Pajter]

I'm still not sold on the look. Gets too repetitive after a while :/

It's not just that one level you know. There are other environments in the game that look different. :p

[Ricardo Gil]

It's not just that one level you know. There are other environments in the game that look different. :p

Yet use the exact same colors. Hence the repetitiveness.

[remix17]

Yet use the exact same colors. Hence the repetitiveness.

No. The colors are different in other levels. Check out some of the gameplay videos at GT.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yet use the exact same colors. Hence the repetitiveness.

Portal pulled it off :p Did you like that game? Not much different here.

[Ricardo Gil]

Portal pulled it off :p Did you like that game? Not much different here.

Portal was more like a 3 hour puzzle experience. This game's art style just doesn't appeal to me very much.
