[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.

    • 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 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.
    • I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.
