Okay,
Past few days several E3 Hype articles have stated people are excited about Mirrors Edge, actually enough to have them list it as their most anticipated.
Okay, well I am sorry to judge so quickly, because I have as little knowledge as the next guy, who might say it's going to be superb, but to me... this title looks like pure mediocrity.
'It's EA' is not even my reasoning behind it. My reasoning is the following:
-Everything we have seen so far reeks of clever gimmicks. But why are people excited? Because they think there is MORE than that. And in reality, true to EA PR there isn't.
-Screenshots and videos we have seen so far shows beautiful art direction. But there is so much depth in that to make a first impression, I reckon there is little behind that aesthetically pleasing facade.
-The only possible gameplay that can go with this game is free-running. There is limited gun play and limited combat, how anyone expects it to ever have more depth to that is beyond me.
Summing up, EA will show the game, it will play nicely, it will look great. But once we get the games in our hands it will be Assassins Creed all over again, but with less combat and more free-running.
So to conclude, here's a statement; Mirror's Edge E3 2008's Big Letdown.
You heard it here first people, now move along to the comments section and bash like there's no tomorrow.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I agree to an extent.
Just because it is EA doesn't mean that there is no depth. As of right now we have no idea what the story is.
Yes, the mechanics and gameplay could be cleverly gimmicky but if it works within the setting of the game's universe is it really a gimmick or well thought-out gameplay?
The game appears, by all accounts, to be graphically stunning and I think that is what drives the hype machine right now. Graphics. I mean look what happened to Haze. Screenshots showed it to be graphically stunning but it turned out to not-be-that-great of a shooter.
I agree that people are getting their panties in a twist for this game well before we know anything about it except that it looks pretty.
You know, I never really thought of it like that. Thanks for opening my eyes a little. I'm still hopeful for the game, but it very well may go the way you're predicting.
Yes its EA granted so I am somewhat bracing myself for a dissapointment but nothing that will really put me off getting this game It may not get Best of E3 (That'll most likely go to Fallout 3 or Resident Evil 5), it'll damn well be close.
Actually DICE is developing the game. Just like Criterion developed Burnout, but EA published it.
