Will Mirror's Edge Make Us All Sick?

DarkZero: I can't say a game ever made me sick, motion sick I mean, loads of games have turned my stomach in other ways though! However, it is a problem for many gamers, and if there was ever once game I felt a bit iffy about it would have to be the upcoming Mirror's Edge. Don't get me wrong, it seems like a fantastic idea, and should be another highly impressive game from the guys at DICE, but the idea of running, kicking, spinning, and leaping around parkour style all from the first person perspective is enough to get our lunch ready to make a nasty reappearance.

made me puke. Graphics were awesome. Gameplay was great. I got on top of a crashed airplane and was looking over a cliff, and ran to the bathroom and barfola. Cloverfield made me sick. I almost had to leave the theatre. I watched the Mirrors Edge trailer and didn't get sick. I saw Blair Witch in the theatre when I was younger and didn't get motion sick.

BTW... I have a 46" HDTV hanging on the wall and was sitting about 5 feet away while playing HAZE. Am I too close or something? I sit closer to the tv while playing COD4 and never get sick. What is the deal?

leeger6583d ago

playing games while sitting 5 feet away from a 46 inch TV might not get you motion sick but it will probably make you blind in the long run.

deeznuts6583d ago

Damn, blind to go along with his hand which is about to fall off ... ;)

I have a 100" projection screen in my bedroom which I used for blu-ray and gaming. But when I played FPS I'd get motion sick. COD4 was the last draw, I loved the game but couldn't play it. Went out and grabbed a 50" plasma (lcd doesn't cut it for me) and put it below the screen. Now I got the best of both worlds.

The trailer for this game did make me slightly dizzy though, and I watched it on a desktop monitor.

Somebody within in the project (high up, director or something) has a problem with the sickness a game like Mirror's Edge can cause. It's not motion sickness but has the problem where moving images causes a sickness (can't remember the name). However, he has no problems playing the game. They added a target to the middle of the screen to stop the porblem happening and apparently it's a fix. So, there you go! :D

Meresin6583d ago

Hopefully more FPS games utilize that fix in the future. I know a few people that can't play shooters at all because they feel ill after a while. Makes me sad for 'em.

rushbd6583d ago

cause i think this game can be great

Kyur4ThePain6583d ago

If you are prone to motion sickness, don't play ME.

ban fans6583d ago

I think I will wait for a demo as I found myself a little disoriented just watching the trailer. Maybe it won't be so bad with a controller in my hands, but the camera does swing around quite a bit. I hope I can manage this game, though, because it looks great. More companies need to incorporate this type of innovation into their products. Truly unique and thumbs up to DICE.

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia511d ago (Edited 511d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken511d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn510d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb510d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno510d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex510d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya1210d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled1210d ago (Edited 1210d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney1210d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled1210d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist1209d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin1210d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled1210d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE1210d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi1210d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE1210d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
