Default [GS] Mirror's Edge Impressions


Quote:
When EA DICE announced Mirror's Edge, senior producer Owen O'Brien hinted that it would "change the way that players are able to move in first person." Since then, we've seen screens and videos emerge showing a shining modern metropolis framed by the red gloves and shoes of an agile runner named Faith. Running across rooftops and makeing nausea-inducing leaps with grace and fluidity, Faith embodied this new take on first-person movement. Now, a year later, we've got the first look at the control scheme for Mirror's Edge and had a chance to watch O'Brien take down armed guards and make--or not quite make--those dramatic free running jumps.

The demo began with Faith on top of the white rooftops shown in the first official trailer. As she ran around, her signature red fingerless gloves flitted in and out of the frame. Looking down, we also saw her cargo pants along with her red and black shoes moving apace. Much like the visible guns in first-person shooters, Faith's arms and legs are the tools that enable her to accomplish her goals, so seeing them is a nice visual touch. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the logistical utility of being able to see her feet seemed to come in handy as she faced that first, vertiginous leap.

I'm actually pretty excited for this game
It's on my list right up there with Left 4 Dead and Stalker Clear Sky

Not a big deal, but it would be awesome so that they made her legs brace for impact and actually use her knees to absorb the landing.

I imagine that they will. If not I would be disappointed. That should be something that Dice should be able to manage pretty easily in today's day and age.

This game, Far Cry 2 and Left 4 Dead are the PC games I am really waiting for.

Definately looks like something that I will wind up getting on a whim-

and totally enjoying.

Looking forward to it. But not like I'm looking forward to D3, SC2, FO3, etc.
