Edge: Mirror's Edge Leipzig Hands-On

The world of 3D computer graphics started with wireframes so it's perhaps fitting that straight edges are the fundamental form that underpins Mirrors Edge's function; a game with the ambition to take the first person perspective beyond its current deep rut of shooterdom. What's also striking about the experience - at least, as experienced in the PlayStation 3 demo available at the Leipzig Games Convention - is the way extreme texture and color play into the delineation of environment.

Edge complains about everything and their reviews hardly make any sense.

Mirror's Edge looks amazing. http://gamevideos.1up.com/v...

I wonder if they could even fit all those textures on a single DVD without making it look worse than the PS3 version?

I thought it was running on PC hardware all this time but then I found out that the PS3 is lead platform for it and we've seen nothing but footage from the PS3 version so far. There's even a rumor going around saying that it'll be PS3 exclusive for a few months.

thebudgetgamer6473d ago

but it seems linear as heck i guess i will cross my finger and hope for the best

n4gzz6473d ago

well, Its new concept, at least for me. we will see.

Bombibomb6473d ago

No but all the footage you've seen so far is from the PS3 version (the PS3 is lead platform for Mirror's Edge) and some German website is saying that David Reeves told them Mirror's Edge will be PS3 exclusive for like 2 months.

has trouble handling innovation. Let's not mention all of the awards the game took home from E3 but rather complain about the new angle the developer is taking on a first-person experience. Skimming though, I can once again tell that EDGE is ready to unjustifiably thrash a very good game. They've done it so many times before in the past only to praise garbage. EDGE stands as one of the most questionable, controversy-driven gaming media sources available.

meepmoopmeep6473d ago

i'm looking at this game with optimism. i hope they can pull off the FPS platforming. i really like the vibrant colors of the game as well.

Darkiewonder6473d ago (Edited 6473d ago )

but it's not really an FPS though.

it's more of a game to test your ability to react to the environment and the people there.

Bombibomb6473d ago (Edited 6473d ago )

It's not a First Person Shooter if you don't have to shoot, now is it? ;) It's more of a First Person Action / Platformer game.

You could beat Mirror's Edge without firing a single bullet, according 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.

Knightofelemia504d ago (Edited 504d 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.

goken504d 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.

Pyrofire95504d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn504d ago

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

__y2jb504d 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 .

Inverno503d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex503d 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_Suzumiya1203d ago

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

SonyStyled1203d ago (Edited 1203d ago )

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

jasonismoney1203d ago

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

SonyStyled1203d 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

cthulhucultist1203d 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

Fist4achin1203d ago

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

SonyStyled1203d 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

JEECE1203d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi1203d ago

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

JEECE1203d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
