[Official] Mirror's Edge


Recommended Posts

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..

Hmm, only on the PC then. Man, I bought a next-gen console to have next-gen graphics/effects and now the PC is better. Grrr!

okay guys I need some help. I'm stuck somewhere in the last chapter after the elevators, when you crawl down a vent and swing on 2 bars. when I land I have no clue where to go! LOL. Please help.

Also, I finished the Atrium section last night with the scaffolding! It took me forever to figure out where to go. 5 horus of gameplay? yeah right!

Make no mistake - it looks fapping AWESOME on the console still. But the PC will always lead when it comes to having the very best graphics effects simply because the hardware & graphics programming standards are getting refreshed on a much more frequent basis! The Xbox 360 has been out almost 3 years to the day now... and the PC has had that much more time to evolve.

Rented Mirrors edge last nite and to say i'm disappointed is an understatement. I paid ?6 to rent it for a week and i completed on the first nite. Nothin happens its a borin story and once the shine has gone off the first person free running its the same thing over and over again. Its a shame cos i had high hopes for this game ahh wel. Im just happy i didnt buy it that would of been the worst ?30 spent ever

I think its an awesome game. If you completed it on the first night you're obviously sitting playing it for far too long at any one time. It does however get extremely frustrating at times when you can't find your way through a certain section. I'm stuck on Chapter 4 right now. Ahem!

Finished it last night. In my top 5 games this year. I don't understand how someone can finish this in one night. The game took me about 8 hours to complete. Some of the puzzles are really tricky, but solving them gave me a great sense of gratitude, kind of similar to solving some of portal's puzzles.

I've got to admit, the story is sub-par, but does open up the possibilities to a good act 1 of a great story arch.

I might go ahead and pick it up now that I've seen good things about it... My budget is somewhat limited, but I need a new game to play.

Although I love the game, I recommend that you rent it, as it will probably take you less than a week to finish (it took me 5 nights of casually playing it about an hour or 2 a night).

If you are all about perfecting speedruns and beating your best times, then this game will probably last a lot longer than that.

yes starting to get the...hang of it finally. agree that it's not really a short game unless you know exactly where to go, some of it is really really annoying. i mean destroy the house in a fit of rage annoying. i stand by my initial comments: too much ambition, not enough polish from a gameplay perspective. but yes, getting through an act is quite satisfying and the presentation simply can't be beat.

I'm loving this game. Yeah, it can be difficult sometimes, and a bit frustrating if you can't seem to get it right a few times in a row, but it's challenging and that's what I like to have in a game.

traded it with a friend for battlefield bad company. best trade in a long long time, i'm def. loving this game :D

Does your friend know he's just been done over? :laugh:

Loving this game, just feels so fresh and it makes a nice change to play something different.. just started chapter 6

I was so tempted to buy this game today, but ultimately couldn't afford it :( I want to rent this game and just never return it, haha. Looks really good, and from what DirtyLarry told me from his first mission, it's good.

can't wait to play this

omg, this is so frustrating, i'm trying to do the speedrun on chapter 2 below 11 minutes, i'm doing just fine until jacknife falls down and you have to turn left for an alternative route. the third pipe on the wall is extremely buggy, half the time i jump through it and fall to my death >_< it's so annoying that this is at the end of the level and you have to start all over again, damnit.

    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything? 
    • Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Playground Games gave fantasy RPG fans a new look at its Fable reboot last Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase. While that was a short cinematic trailer revealing the main villain of the storyline, played by Hayley Atwell, today, the development team released an entire gameplay demo to show off the game in action. There is some combat and action near the end of it, but most of the demo is focused on the game's NPC simulation, relationships, choices players can make, and the complex reputation system. The studio is touting over 1,000 hand-crafted NPCs who have jobs, homes, routines they follow in their villages and outskirts, and a memory of what is going on in the world and what actions the player has done. All of these are voiced by real people too. The demo begins with a short interaction with a butcher who wants to kill a talking pig named Colin. The protagonist chooses to save Colin by paying the butcher a bunch of gold for his troubles, giving the hero a rise in reputation for being shrewd, merciful, and virtuous. There were also options to simply let Colin get killed or even fight the butcher for the pig instead of paying him. How NPCs judge the player depends on how they interact with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV0yq4kAP0 Later, the demo shows off how purchasing and managing businesses work, where players can hire employees, change their wages, tweak the price of the shop items, and reap profits if they do well. Different NPCs react differently to each type of reputation the player is touting. One shop owner jacks up prices by 80% just because the player is rich and owns businesses. The demo even shows the player deciding to attack random villagers and causing a ruckus in the streets, turning the hero into a criminal. This is where the magic combat systems are shown off, where the player can teleport, turn enemies into chickens, sword-fight, and more. "This is how you’ll build an extraordinary life in Fable. It’s all about shades of grey – it’s not us or the game telling you what is good and what is bad," says Dan Greer, Lead Game Designer. "With the Living Population, it’s the NPCs themselves judging your actions." Fable is releasing across PC and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2027. Premium Edition owners will be able to play starting on February 18 instead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to jump in at launch for no extra cost.

    • My current phone, on left, is starting to go to sleep, and not turning on, even though I press the power button 100 times. Like CPR.   I tried factory resetting it, and nothing changed. So it's the hardware failing. I currently am using Twigby as my service provider. Cheapest I can get around here. But all their phones are carp.. https://www.twigby.com/shop/twigby-phones A friend warned me about the Moto G, as his neice has one, and isn't that good at $130. Also the Samsung A15 is laughable at best. Everything else is expensive af. I want android, (hate iOS) any version, that works with Twigby, under $100, please. Refurbished/Used is OK with me, as long as it isn't beat up.   If you know the IMEI number, you can see if it works with Twigby: https://www.twigby.com/page/byod
