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.

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.
