Mirror's Edge: Catalyst (Formerly Mirror's Edge 2)
 

It's a reboot

I can't wait for Mirror's Edge's catfish moment.

If you don't understand don't even bother to ask.

And yo; if this doesn't have CTF it is auto-fail.

Loved the first one.

Combat felt awkward on first playthrough, but a big component of the game is multiple playthroughs to get the fastest time. Once you play through a level enough, learn the timing for all the jumps, and learn the enemy placement, you can zoom through it, taking down heavily armed soldiers like they were nothing, and making you feel like a total bad ass.

they better get Solar Fields to do the soundtrack for this one too

YES

One of my favorite soundtracks of the current gen.

One of my all-time favorite gaming memories @1:55 mark, and such a fantastic song.

I remember getting chills when I (She) looked up to the Shard, the looked back down like "lets fuckin' do this".

The same can pretty much be said for COD, Battlefield, Killzone and so on.

Personally, I don't get why people get boners over those as all you're doing is either shooting guys in the desert/ruined village or in the future. I may as well be playing Perfect Dark or something like GoldenEye.

Also, the story for Mirror's Edge is pretty damn good. Personally, I find it better than the "You're in a war. Shoot stuff" stories.

I agree, the soundtrack was fantastic. It added a lot to the game. :y:

I'd also rank it up there as one of my favourite soundtracks of the current gen.

This wouldn't be a problem if you'd stop liking things I don't like.

That's all I can ask.

:drool:

That's a lot of rooftops.

Dunno how I feel about the open world aspect. I liked the linear approach in MI. And this is coming from someone who lives for the open world genre.

EA announces they are following a strategy similar to what was done with Dead Space 3 with the idea of "expanding the audience" with Mirror's Edge 2.

This is the worst news I heard all week.

Ugh

Still no release date, but I guess that gives us something to look forward to next year.

Interesting video though.

According to DICE, Mirror's Edge 2 will have a stronger focus towards combat unlike the first game.

Building her for a new generation? She only debuted a few years ago. It's not like she's a 90's or even early 2000s character who needs a reboot. The SAME generation is going to play her game.

So what I'm getting here is some kind of silly mechanic seen in other modern games that didn't exist just a few years ago. More hand holding and perhaps greater emphasis on multiplayer (not in the good way, the awkward NFS always online way).

This is only good news if the you can engage in combat without slowing down.

If not, adding more combat is just missing the entire point of the game completely.

I thought I'd resurrect this thread seeing as we now have more details.

Four things:

Finally we have a release date. Only 252 days to go.

It's open world, which could be interesting.

No loading screens. Cool.

And what the hell was I thinking using that blue font for my old posts? I now see why it was so badly received.
