yeah, i love it. those speedruns are so annoying and frustrating to get right, yet i keep doing them because it's oh so sweet when you finally nail it after so much practice and trial and error, chapter 3's speedrun must've taken me at least 100 tries to get right, when that achievement popped up I just sat that there saying "yess yess" with my arms in the air for like 10 minutes. :laugh:

In relation to DLC,

PS3 version of Mirror's Edge to get free bonus DLC

EA and DICE have announced details on Mirror's Edge DLC. In late January, players will be able to download nine new races for the Time Trial mode. According to the press release, these levels will have "no guns, no cops, and no city: this is true aesthetics, agility and flow that will challenge any runner." We're not entirely sure what that means, but we certainly want to find out. Update: Well, this new video certainly clears things up. Wow.

The nine new races will cost $10. However, PS3 owners get a special treat. All owners of the game can download an additional tenth race for free from the PlayStation Store. This is the PS3-exclusive DLC we've been waiting to hear about. (Who doesn't like free stuff?)

There's a video at the link as well, not checked to see if it's the same as Massiveterra's.

Is it worth getting this game?

Its quite cheap at the moment, and I enjoyed the game, but for me it would be this or Prince of Persia?

I would highly recommend Mirror's Edge, it's a fantastic game :) Sure it's short, but what game isn't these days? the simplicity of the graphics, the stunning audio (it really does give a good sensation of speed) and the fluid animation, it all adds together really well (Y).

I picked up the PS3 version of the game and haven't regretted it since :happy: I'm not so sure about the 360 version, while there is nothing wrong with it per say, the graphics don't seem as sharp as the PS3 version which ruins the experience for me. However, this is running the demo over VGA (got a launch 360 which doesn't have HDMI) so perhaps the retail version looks better over HDMI on the newer 360s?

Yeah, I'm still deciding wether or not to get this game (PS3 btw).

Does this game require surround sound for the full effect?, My surround sound system took a turn for the worst :(

No, obviously it's nice if you got it but even with stereo it still works fantastic (Y)

I got Mirror's Edge at last on Tuesday, thanks to three things: my ankle injury that's gonna keep me out for at least 3 months, my dad, and GAME for putting it on offer for ?25!:DD

Anyway, I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it, because the game was worryingly short, playing on Normal difficulty. There were a few moments where I ran into the brick wall of difficulty (especially the final shootout in the server room in Chapter 9). Although to be fair, I did it all without firing a single bullet!:DD I'm gonna go through it on Hard today, and this time I'll blitz through it with guns!:pp

Well I finished it a couple of days ago after getting it for Christmas.

Three things are really in my mind from playing this game.

Firstly I loved it, at least the running round, climbing over buildings or finding a slightly sneakier route and figuring things out.

Especially when I had a go at hard and there is no running vision, and I have a crap memory, so bits and bobs I had to have a go, and fail, and then find another way, and be like, woop!

Though that also goes on to show that there relay aren't a lot of other routes you can take, you might say, jump along a wall instead of going over the fence, but it isn't quite as varied as I would of liked.

Secondly, the enemies and fighting in this game, at least for me, was really lame.

I think it partially ruined a very awesome game, having to run away from the cops 85% of the time was annoying as I would have liked to have a jump around for fun, but that goes back to my previous point of only really having a few ways to go.

Also getting stuck in situations where you would have to fight people and not be able to go round or anything was a bit boring, the only trouble I had with the enemies was near the end in the server room which got really frustrating.

And also when playing hard on the 2nd chapter when your running down the water way area thingy I had to stop and hide because I had become a bullet magnet, and running the crap around the walls and stuff wasn't helping.

And third, do we know if the score/soundtrack for the game has come out yet?

Not the one with the remixes, the actual soundtrack in the game, that you can access from the in game unlockables menu.

I'm sorry but this game is terrible. Yet again there was a massive hype which was struck down with a game which didn't meet what it was said to be. There is one route in each chapter. You cannot take different paths. Everyone will have done the same path. When it is different is when you are in places like rooms or outside in large areas and trying to split the guys apart to kill them is only when you can take different routes. I completed this on boxing day after getting it on christmas day. The speedruns are just boring. And I couldn't be bothered to complete it on hard mode as I couldn't be bothered to do the story again, which is why I got bored of speedruns. Time trials? It's the same after you do the first one. You didn't really have a choice whether to fight the guys or run from them, if you tried to fight and died, you had to run, if you ran and died, you were meant to fight them first. The graphics were good unless pretty close up but that doesn't matter too much because how much do you sit playing games and running close to everything and having it right in front of you so you can't see what's going on? So yeah, I took the game back and got ?40 given back to me.

by looking at some of the ghosts, there are definitely more than one pate for each chapter

      Yeah, when I saw that, I wanted to find the nearest nose. You can't find a good nose these days when you need one.
    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
