Re: Mirror's Edge

Giggas, is the demo up on PSN?

I checked like 10 mins ago, no dice.

Re: Mirror's Edge

I got it off the UK Store. It should be up soon on the US Store.

Re: Mirror's Edge

I just got it from the UK store (they update earlier).

Need to be online for the time trail. I'll try that out when the NA store updates.
Graphics are outstanding,both technically and artisitcally.
Sixaxis is on by default,turned off pretty fast.
It's odd using L1 to jump but it works out.
Music is fitting and very well done. Was there something about a PS3 LE that came with the soundtrack? Or was that PS3 DLC? Is there a LE with the soundtrack?
I like Celeste better than Faith but I guess it doesn't much matter in first person view.
Running through it a second time it's extremely short.

This is pretty cool overall and a lot better than I thought it would be. Still would've perfered a 3rd person camera. There were a few parts where I couldn't tell the jump timing because I couldn't really see the first time but the second time it wasn't a problem. Combat wasn't encouraged,I punched a guy out of the way but that's it,I think I'll take a 3rd run and shoot someone.

Mirror's Edge

Demo was put on XBL today and PSN yesterday, anyone play it? I thought it was fun as hell.. Probably not worth a buy but I could see myself spending some time with it due to how fun it is.

I liked the demo, got a little Vertigo playing it though.

I dunno, just doesn't seem like there'd be a whole lot to do in a game that is almost entirely free running.. Hopefully I'm wrong though

Re: Mirror's Edge

Well, it looks like it's more of a new engine that will serve future games than a game itself.

Re: Mirror's Edge

I got bored really fast with this game. Bummer, I was intrigued and somewhat looking forward to it.

Re: Mirror's Edge

I can't get enough of this. I've played the demo about a dozen times now. Still can't believe how DICE managed to pull this off so well in 1st person and with the emphasis being on movement, it's going to be such a fresh experience. With there being so many games though, I will probably have to rent it.

Re: Mirror's Edge

Played the demo (PS3) and loved it. I have been looking forward to this game and it played better than I thought it would.

Now I just have to decide if I should get it for the PS3 or the 360. I have yet to try the 360 demo. If the control scheme is the same I would think jumping with the LB might be odd? I love the 360 controller but I am not sure if maybe the PS3 pad might be better for this game.

Does anybody know if there are any significant technical differences between the consoles versions? What was the lead platform?

Re: Mirror's Edge

PS3 is lead and getting exclusive DLC. I read around and it is LB to jump on 360 wich isn't pleasing for some people.

Re: Mirror's Edge

I preferred the DS3, but I thought it controlled fine on 360 and didn't have a problem with LB as jump. I noticed the 360 has ever so slightly better IQ with less shimmering. But yeah, like goh said, you're getting exclusive Time Trial Mode DLC for the PS3.

I hope this game shows other developers that your game can look different using UE3 and the lighting is superior to other games using the engine, even Gears.

I didn't mind it once you get used to the controls. I assume the ps3 uses the sixaxis to balance on things instead of a joystick though.

The game was beautiful and it does it's thing well. I can see it being frustrating with the trial and error though. I died more than a few times because I jumped from a building a split second early, or I missed a pipe because I jumped too far to the left. I'll gamefly it for sure, and maybe keep it if the price is $40 or so.
