EA's Soderlund: "It will be a different Mirror's Edge" | GRTV interview

GRTV talked to EA Games executive vice president Patrick Soderlund about E3, announcements, Mirror's Edge, DICE and more, on the new Mirror's Edge he said:

"It's taken this long because we wanted to get to the right concept and the right idea. And Sara Jansson who is producer on it, when she pitched her idea to me and Karl-Magnus, the GM for DICE, I was frankly blown away. I'm like "Finally, you've got it!" and when you hear something like that... She pitched an idea that frankly could only be built on gen 4, is a stunning concept, and when she came to us we knew we had it. And yes, we've been testing ideas and we've been prototyping stuff, and I'm glad that we waited to get the right idea."

"It will be a different Mirror's Edge", isn't something a Mirrors Edge fan would want to hear.

GuyThatPlaysGames4588d ago

I agree. I just want the same bright color palette they used from the first one and the epic music.

Psychotica4588d ago

Can't you get that with Itunes? Just a pick a good song and turn on the visualizer?

Hydralysk4588d ago

Not different enough to remove the combat from what I saw in the trailer.

Was glad to see EA saw all those complaints about the dull combat and said "They don't know jack, fill the reveal trailer with combat!".

fsfsxii4589d ago

We're going to flock to the cod fanbase, so we need gunzz, more gunzz and shootouts

Shadonic4588d ago

less freeruning that stuffs bad for 1v1's

ThanatosDMC4588d ago

Killstreaks and lots of explosions too... lol!

Shadonic4588d ago

It also needs flying moving fish AI since faith wont be in the ocean the fish will have to be on land and just to be safe lets add some random non english words to make them sound mincing.

CandyFace4589d ago

I believe that it's going to be good. No matter what I'm getting it when available.

Droid Control4589d ago (Edited 4589d ago )

I hope it doesn't have guns or combat.
I want to run!
I hope it keeps the same art style and feel of the original

paul-p19884588d ago

agreed, the free-running aspect was the best part, i loved finishing the game without firing a single bullet

MidnytRain4588d ago

Is that even possible? There are some places where eliminating all enemies is mandatory to progression, and if they're relatively close together, they're going to gun you down quickly if you don't have a weapon yourself.

paul-p19884586d ago

Yeah, it was one of the trophies in the game. All you had to do was disarm the guys in those areas, drop the gun, then just keep on running

Psychotica4588d ago

Ooh a jogging simulator, that's what we need!

dcj05244588d ago

They said its open-world. That my dream game right there. In all tge GTAs I kept trying to do parkour lol. And the first mirror's edge had guns so I assume the second will too.

RedSoakedSponge4588d ago

i hope this doesnt mean a lot more gunplay... that would ruin it.
