I'm up to a part that is really annoying me. Chapter 6 i think, i have to run through this boat and i am at this point where i have to open a door but it is a round handle and she has to turn it. Problem is there are four guards in that room and she can't open the thing fast enough and i die. I'm trying to do it without firing a gun.

Even using guns during that part I was annoyed as hell. I was incredibly annoyed every time they made guns a "requirement". I would've loved this game so much more if it wasn't so amazingly annoying at times. My mouth hurt for days after playing this game I was grinding my teeth so much during it. Loved the free running gameplay art and music, but despised the game overall. Too flawed for me to enjoy it in spite of this.

beat the game yesterday. definitely a lot of frustrating moments where you have to repeat sections again and again...and again...and again...and again, but it was an enjoyable experience all around. i think what made it harder for me was the fact that i was going for the trophy where i couldn't shoot anyone. will play through it again guns blazing this time around.

Up to chapter 3 after a few hours playing this evening. Liking it so far though did resort to using guns at one point to get round some blues just to give me TIME to work out how to get out of a particular area.. they just moved too quickly to give me any time to just run and jump my way out of a tricky spot!

Liking it so far though! It's harder than I expected.. which is good!

Amazon US and UK have January dates. I hope we get a Demo.

Yeah a demo would be great. If its out in January all the better! Just have to wait and see I suppose

edit: After a quick google search, a few other sites seem to confirm that the game is scheduled for a January release. Lets hope they make it!

I tried the demo today on X360 and while I was floored by the art direction/GFX/design and sound. This game doesn't feel right. If DICE could have managed to pull out a gameplay design like Assasin's Creed ( this game is the best parkour rendition I ever saw ) while retaining the design, they would have an absolute killer game. But, alas, that's not the case.

the controls become really intuitive after a while and after a few minutes of gameplay you will understand the method to their madness.

i suggest just hopping around the tutorial mode without the instructor for a few minutes.

I am currently on Chapter 5, and all I will say is be prepared to do a lot of things over and over and over until you either figure out what needs to be done and/or you actually can do it.

Ironically enough for a DICE game, it is the shooting parts of the game that really slow it down, there are certain parts where you just have to stop and kill people or you will not proceed, and these parts IMO take the game out of the fluidity that is normally there.

I love this game, and I hate it. LOL

I haven't read the topic really so I don't read any spoilers, or have the game as I'll be getting it for Xmas.

But does anyone know about the soundtrack coming out, and I know there was the whole remixes thing, but we were told a while ago that the soundtrack would be released near the launch of the game.

Just wondering if anything had come out?

No, but your right, that does have more than the one I have here, but thanks for showing me the full list.

I meant more along the lines of the Score for the game.

I was really pumped for this game, but after playing the 360 demo I'm unsure I really want it now :p As others have said, the overall look and feel of the game world and sound is excellent. Even the basic HUD (or more to the point, the lack of it) really adds to the overall feel of the game. However, fighting seems awkward and out of place from the rest of the game, it spoils it for me. I think I need to spend some more time on the demo before I decide to buy it or not.

You sort of get used to the slightly manic fighting and in a way it adds to the game in the same way that the basic (lacking) HUD does. Even now, half way through, I still run into a battle and find myself pressing the wrong buttons to fight and struggling to co-ordinate myself. In a way it adds to the realism as I guess fighting IRL isn't a clean / predictable event - you just go in there and do your best.

On a spoiler type note who else really enjoyed the sewers section with the snipers? I unlocked the "Its a me!" achievement as well when I jumped on a sniper from a great height - made me laugh out loud!! :)

Yeah - there are some lovely new effects in there thanks to the PhysX engine.. could see them all over the place (shooting flags, plastic effects, etc). It doesn't look quite as 'warm' as the console versions though..

Guys just noticed the Mirrors Edge theme tune is up on PSN in WAV and MP3 for free! :D

It's a great song, go grab it if you have a PS3 even if you don't have Mirrors Edge.

I'll check XBL and see if they have it as well.

      If built properly, swapping out the backend should be an easy task, but as the article points out, it's just Apple not wanting to do this.
    • Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been delivering a lot of changes for Xbox Insiders to test in recent weeks, and today, another wave of changes aimed at consoles was announced. The latest drop is testing features that let users find mutual friends easier, customize their UI, and streamline wishlisting. When looking at an Xbox friend's profile, an option will appear to see mutual friends, perhaps to get a refresher on how you know that person. This will depend on the privacy settings. The same applies to when checking the profile of a person who is not in the friends list, offering a quick way to find out if this is a known connection. Next, Microsoft is giving the option to change how the 'Home' and 'Games & Apps' sections show off available games. There is a new poster style that users can enable for an "immersive library experience." "We’ve also made personalization settings easier to navigate and customize by separating Home and My Games & apps into separate sections," adds the company. "And to make personalization even more accessible, we’ve added new shortcuts throughout menus, so you can quickly jump in and tailor your XBOX experience the way you want." Moreover, heading to the store page of an unreleased game will now offer players the option to wishlist directly from the game card. Lastly, Microsoft is making a change to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles that are in Sleep mode, making them use the more energy-saving 'Shutdown' mode instead automatically. The company says this can increase power savings by up to 20 times without impacting "performance, gameplay, or your ability to receive system, games or apps updates overnight." The only down side seems to be a longer startup time that can take up to 45 seconds. The setting was originally introduced in 2023, and this is only the latest update to it. The power option can be changed from the console settings at any time. This Xbox Insider update is rolling out today to select members of the program. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.

      2 was a fun game but felt a bit shallow, like not enough there. I hope this expansion fixes that.
