[Official] Mirror's Edge

[+Mystic MVC]

So has a PC release date been talked about?

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!

I wish the NS2000 shotgun is as powerful in this game as it was in Battlefield Bad Company

So has a PC release date been talked about?

On play.com its 1/3/09 but I don't know whether that's a fixed date.

Game looks really cool! Shame PC users have to wait till March next year to play it :(

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

[burnsflipper]

I think EA has confirmed a January PC release but not so sure on the exact date

Yup, as long as you can keep up with and afford PC gaming, most things are always gonna PWN consoles in the visuals department :p

[Corris Veteran]

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?

[ViZioN]

Dunno about that trailer, it's lost the "clean look" that the console version had, and the cloth tearing looks terrible.

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.

So uh, when is the PC Demo?

[Xerxes]

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.

Have they added extra visuals to the PC version? From what I can see in that trailer they have. :blink:

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.
