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!

No... they couldn't. To think they could is to badly misunderstand absolutely everything about business.raxiv said:
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.
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.
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
Wasn't that song our victory song last year at March Mayhem when Valve finally knocked Zynga out of the race?ForgottenPr0digy said:
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.

Oh for the love of God please let it just be put on hold. I've been waiting for a sequel with great anticipation since Mirror's Edge 1 first came out. I've probably beaten the game 12 or more times (mostly due to trial runs) and am far from sick of it. The game generates a very strange feeling in me that only a handful of games have accomplished. I desire to go back and play Mirror's Edge simply due to its existence. It gives me... nostalgia. The theme song gives me flash backs and anything resembling its graphic style makes me want to see it again.
Please EA... Find it in your heart to give this gift of a sequel to the community who loves Mirror's Edge so much. Let DICE have their fun. Oh, and above all else: actually read this comment. That's an important part of this process.

The 1st-person perspective is actually one of the things that make Mirror's Edge unique. Parkour game in 3rd-person = Prince of Persia in urban settings.SaneAmongInsane said:
The 1st-person camera in ME seems kinda strange at first, but after some time you get used to it and it's really fun to run around jumping from building to building. As people mentioned in this thread, this is not where the game fails.
Mirrors Edge was great, it was one of those games that had the right idea but maybe needed a bit of polishing -
thats where mirrors edge 2 could have come in, just as games like dead space 2 and assassins creed 2 greatly improved on good original ideas

Shame... There was a lot of potential in the idea, and plenty of lessons to learn from the first game that could then be applied in a sequel.
Hopefully it's just been put on hold and not actually cancelled.
The first one was a breath of fresh air and one of the most original games I've played.
