[Official] Mirror's Edge


Recommended Posts

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.

New Mirror's Edge PC trailer, HD!

now it is confirmed, it comes on January 2009 and with PhysX

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.

    • 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 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 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.
