To understand how much I adore the original, I paid sixty bucks for it and still maintain that it was one of the best purchases I've made.

This makes me really sad.

What a wonderful way to start a Monday. *sob*

I was really looking forward to this one, too. I really loved the first game, and have fond memories of playing it while watching Desert Bus '09.

Sad.

I really enjoyed the game. It was nice to play a game where it was not in the spirit of the game or the character to use weaponry of any sort. I loved running and jumping and just being plain ole' cool while running from the cops and helping to bring down the government.

I really love the idea of a Parkour game. But in first person? NO THANK YOU.

The most fun I had in Infamous was jumping around on things and street lights.

Boooo!
That game had so much potential! A sequel would have sold just fine if they'd listen to critics and fans and fixed their bleeding mistakes. I feel like punching someone in the face.

I R sad.
Seriously, the first one had a lot of flaws, but i really loved the concept. When i heard they were making a sequel, i was damn happy. The sequel would surely be much better as they would have learned from their mistakes.

But looks like that won't be happening....damn.
However, i still HOPE they make it. Somehow, some day, maybe. Cause it would be totally awesome!

Say what EA? Good NEW non-conventional games don't bring you enough money? Bloody money hungry bastards. They sleep on money to the point where they could just make it for the "fun" of it and still make money of it :|
No... they couldn't. To think they could is to badly misunderstand absolutely everything about business.

Let's imagine they spend $50,000,000 on it (very possible). Unless it sells a million copies, it was a very major flop. Mirror's Edge sold only slightly more than a million copies, so you can see why they'd be... tentative. OH SNAP! I'M WRONG! It sold at least 1.8 million <link=http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/browse.php?name=Mirror%27s+Edge>2.05 million, NOT INCLUDING THE PC OR XBOX LIVE VERSIONS.

...Yeah, I'm really mad now.

Don't worry about me I'll just be camping outside my local gamestation, so when the EA marketing rep comes along (and he does as I have seen him in there before).

Then... BAM!

I may be arrested, but that would be so satisfying.

I actually liked the first person view, it was something new. I want my sequel. But I can wait, not like I buy games on launch day.

I'm literally thinking about just buying 200.000 copies of the game right now so that the increased sales will confince them to make the sequel.

:(

Damnit! I genuinely like Mirror's Edge. Yeah it has a few little flaws, but honestly, the game doesn't deserve the flak it got.

so now that we have the ugly innovation out of the way BUT want to use the character why not make ME2 a 3rd person cover based shooter, set 5 years after the first game and have a volcano erupt on the outskirts of town at the beginning of the game so we can use our beloved "dirt" spectrum of color

I wasn't a big fan of Mirror's Edge but the gameplay and bad level designs really hurt the game i wanted to jump around on rooftops not run around in offices and confusing cramp subway tunnels.

I love the Theme song for Mirror's Edge


But still I would have liked to see a sequel to this game hopefully soon.
Wasn't that song our victory song last year at March Mayhem when Valve finally knocked Zynga out of the race?

Ahhh, good times. With that said, I really hope they make a sequel to the game and they improve upon the concept of a first person Parkour game. We need some more original IPs out there to give us an alternative to the space marines and military shooters that seem to infest the gaming market today.

Such a shame, hopefully they eventually do make one, I thought the first one was great, one of my favourite games. I can forgive the short story and not much re-playability as it was trying something new with the FPS genre, ultimately inspired games like Brink and possibly Crysis 2.

Im guessing they arent making it because of that big chunk of money they lost, hmmmmf, if that MMO thing theyre doing doesnt work out then we may never see Mirrors Edge 2. One can only hope that we do.
