Mirror's Edge 2 Announced

[freaper]

Please don't suck.Please don't suck.Please don't suck.Please don't suck.

Slick enemy design! Hopefully I can start screaming misogynistic obscenities again soon ^^

4)H.O.R.S.E: Set up a map with a single route consisting of very challenging series of obstacles. Have the players perform each series of jumps one after the other. Every time one of them fails an obstacle (maybe you can track this with triggers like "rough falls", "complete stops" or "time exceeded") they get a letter, first one to spell HORSE is the loser.

Is that a reference to Tony Hawk's skating game(s)? There was a "horse" mode as well. Good times.

If that is all in game footage/engine I am very impressed! Also, that was a tattoo on her face? Oh that much have hurt like Hell to get done but I do like that the art of tattoo is been rep in games

Make combat entirely optional, the most difficult running path should take you past them and avoid the confrontation.

It was already optional. I'm down to a 4-KO run with no deaths.

It's just that no one understood that being within ten feet of a baddie didn't mean you had to punch them...

Sure which is why there is an unavoidable boss fight and several points you can't access or climb without dying. Yeah no, you don't get to bullshit me without a link of a playthrough with you literally not punching anyone.

Well, of course it is! HORSE in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was amazing!

Very, very stoked for this. Looking forward to seeing what new innovations they add to the sequel.

I'll admit the game does look good, and that setting just speaks to me for some reason, plus the music certainly helped set the tone of the game for me, but I'll hold my opinion on it until more info comes out, i didn't get the first game but I certainly liked some of it's ideas, let's see how this will go.

Now if only we got an open-world version of this game..... just think free-running everywhere, i have so many ideas for games involving this right now.

Captcha says "Goosebumps" I wonder who has them now *looks at posters*

 

[Scars Unseen]

I'm a bit worried about the trailer's overreliance on Combat N' Gunz.

I'd just like to point out that at no point in that entire trailer did Faith fire a gun. The trailer showed more or less half of what happened in Mirror's Edge, which is you running from people shooting at you and (optionally) punching them out of your way while passing through them. The only thing it didn't show was the more relaxed free running bits, and while those are some of my favorite parts, I'll admit that they wouldn't make for a very exciting trailer. Worry not; this trailer wasn't aimed primarily at people that already wanted Mirror's Edge 2(we already want it), but at the people that could make Mirror's Edge sell better than the first one.

Wait for more in depth presentations involving Last Man Standing multiplayer gun brawls and such. Then worry.

 

[Nightvalien]

Oh EA I promised myself to never buy from you again but you have to pull me back, so please please don't suck, let this be good.

 

[grigjd3]

Damn you EA!!!!! I had sworn I would never spend another penny on your games and then you went and did THIS! You're so terrible but every now and then you do this.

 

[CrystalShadow]

I'm glad it exists, but hopefully this trailer isn't a sign that it's going in a more action focused direction. As much as I liked the combat in the first game (I might be in the minority), and it looks much improved and even Oni-esque here, the game's focus should be running right?

Yeah, they do seem to like the combat focus. On the other hand... That clip makes it look like she just throws guns away by default... Suggesting they may have pulled all gun combat from the game. (Which, from what I remember of the first game, would be a good thing; The combat was generally OK right up until you got to sections where doing anything other than shooting your way through the enemies was nearly impossible)

But anyway, I hope this turns out well... (And has a PC release... XD)

 

[Voulan]

It's been a long time since I've actually squee'd at something.I'm so happy!

But hell, isn't Faith looking fantastic.

Just a few details:
- Very early in development
- XBone, PS4 and PC
- Reboot (So just "Mirror's Edge" again it seems)

WTF? on that last one. Was that really necessary?

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

It was suspected for a while. Anyway, don't care. First game was shit, sequel will be shit unless it's entirely different. Won't buy it and even if it were amazing, I won't install Origin. Sorry EA, nothing from me.

 

[nevarran]

Am I ready to kick(literally) some asses, or what...

 

[Chatboy 91]

- Reboot (So just "Mirror's Edge" again it seems)

Who's saying it's a reboot? For all we know it could be a prequel. Or a new game with flashbacks to the past to give some context to the story. You know, that big thing that was missing in the first one.

Multi-platform Multi-platform Multi-platform Multi-platform Multi-platform Multi-platform Multi-platform Multi-platform
Please for the love of god let this be Multi-platform

This is the only game that will make me buy a next generation system and if it's an Xobxone exclusive I'll just have to start my murder rampage a little earlier than I expected.

Oh my god EA you finally did something right you beautiful GLORIOUS BASTARDS!!!
I completely forgive you for ruining Mass Effect.

It's in the press release: "The new Mirror's Edge reboots the franchise for the next generation with advanced visuals and an all-new origin story for Faith"

It's strange, but not necessarily bad. An entirely new story might be better than trying to fix the original.

Personally, I don't care. I'm just glad we're getting more of the franchise, and I hope it's good.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Fuck yeah!!!

Absolutely loved the first one. I'm so happy they're doing another.

Now the question is: Do I get it on PC and deal with Origin? Or do I get a PS4?

 

[bug_of_war]

Finally, a game that will have me break down and work with Origin. Half-Life 2 was enough for me to get Steam many years ago (wow), and I'll deal with Origin for this. Assuming it comes to the PC. You are putting it on PC, right? Think of all the PhysX fun you had last time!

If I were you I'd be less worried about Origin and more worried about it being an Xbone exclusive. Origin is nothing in comparison to the Xbone, and while it may not be as easy to use a Steam it's not exactly bad, or even mediocre.

OT: EA, you haven't let me down yet, please, PLEASE don't make this a Xbone exclusive.
