Some months from now, I’d be happy to say that I was wrong and that the further-developed Purge provides an experience superior to Mirror’s Edge, but there’s nothing in the demo that convinces me that Purge won’t fall short in the same ways. I’d say keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath.
Looking to get your first-person parkour fix but tired of the endless wait for a sequel to Mirror’s Edge that may never come? Fancy mixing in a dash of Borderlands’ art style? There’s a game called Purge on Steam Greenlight that just might scratch that itch for you…
Nice will check this out!!!!
Looks a little slow.....hope it actually plays faster!
IGM writes: "One of the most unique games to have come out in recent years is Mirror’s Edge – a DICE developed first person freeruning platformer. It may come as a surprise that there haven’t really been any clones of the game, that is, until now. A group of students at the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona have created a short free playable demo for their game Purge which was made for their Master’s in Creation of Videogames. While at first sight Purge seems to adapt the visuals of both Borderlands and XIII, rest assured, the gameplay is pure Mirror’s Edge."
