Story Telling in Mirror's Edge Will be 2D

ButtonMasher writes - Three weeks ago EA released some new screenshots and a 2D trailer, for the most part I thought it was an interesting diversion from the normal in-game trailer, it turns out there is something more to it

I don't know how anyone else feels, but that really sucks for me. The visuals in this game are gorgeous and I hated that animated trailer. I'll still likely buy it since the gameplay is what matters most in a title like this... but damn... that's some disappointing news.

Ugh... I guess I'll just have to suffer through the Kim Possible sh!t.

iamtehpwn6516d ago

that just KILLED this game for me.
I'm not sure I was going to buy it now,
and before it was a DEFINITE sale.

LightofDarkness6516d ago

Cool. I like that. Just like Max Payne. Comic panels FTW. Let's hope they manage a decent atmosphere.

Rourker6516d ago

max payne's comic book style was very sweet.

Will_Smith6516d ago

Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops did too.. and might i say, it was great

SSJSubgeta6516d ago

I think its a great break away method from the "WOW look at the graphics" factor. Even if its the story being told in 2D, its a great change in atmosphere in the game. I have to say they have a great art direction where they are taking this.

Mc Fadge6516d ago

If it's anything like the storybook trailer they released earlier, I'm disappointed :<

arngrim2296516d ago

i dont like the art in the 2d story segments, animated is fine aslong as its high quality animation, not flash animation, its choppy and just sorta lazy seriously it looks like high quality flash animation on newgroundz, its good for flash but not for a game.....bleh

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.

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.

goken519d 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

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

__y2jb519d 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 .

Inverno518d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex518d 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_Suzumiya1218d ago

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

SonyStyled1218d ago (Edited 1218d ago )

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

jasonismoney1218d ago

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

SonyStyled1218d 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

cthulhucultist1218d 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

Fist4achin1218d ago

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

SonyStyled1218d 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

JEECE1218d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi1218d ago

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

JEECE1218d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
