Mirror's Edge 2 Goes Open World

Sounds awesome. I just hope that Open world means lots and lots of roofs to go hurl yourself off of.
If it turns into Assassin's Creed I'm gonna be extremely disappointed.
But if you don't fuck it up I might consider finally getting Origin on my computer.

Well, that's a bit of a bummer, at least for me. I struggle to focus in open world games. I like my games like books. A bit old fashioned perhaps, but that's just the way it is.
Huh, did you even play the game? There is plenty of lore in the game delivered through infomercials throughout the game as well as the cutscenes and the game itself.
Yeah, I'm with you there. Most of that shit isn't even arousing, and some of it is just a total mood-killer. I'd say "don't look up so-and-so but in reality all it's going to do is have the Streisand Effect on somebody.Mr.Tea said:
Bit off topic here: nice new profile pic! I remember that episode and how uncomfortable the atmosphere of it was.The said:
Took the words right out of my mouth. I just hope DICE fleshes out the controls a bit.an annoyed writer said:
I didn't really have issue with them like many did, but they were a tad unresponsive sometimes.
I still don't understand the prevailing opinion on this forum that linear=bad.
Sure, there are plenty of examples of bad games; both new and old; that utilized copious levels of linearity to their map designs. That doesn't mean linear levels are bad by default.
Unless some of you are willing to admit open-world design is bad as well, since there are plenty of bad games with open-world structures.
AAAAAAHHHHH SQUEEE SQUEEE SQUEEE SQUEEE SQUEEE
The only thing it will take to make this work is lots of time, and DICE is ready to give the game the needed time for this.
Oh my, I think I peed myself...

I would totally play that.Gabe Yaden said:
OT: I'm alright with DICE forgetting the first Mirror's Edge exists. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely freakin' love it, but the story won't exactly enrich a sequel in my opinion.
What I don't understand is why they're simply calling the sequel "Mirror's Edge," I mean that's just confusing. Why not go with the tried and trusted colon/subtitle system?
Mirror's Edge: Origins
Mirror's Edge: Revelations
Mirror's Edge: Revengeance
Mirror's Edge: Chronicles
Mirror's Edge: Combat Evolved
You're welcome, DICE.
What's with all these next-gen games being free-roaming all of a sudden? First you've got all the games that're supposed to be free-roam, your Assassin's Creed/Watch_Dogs/Elder Scrolls/Saints Row/GTA/Dark Souls/MMOs, and now franchises are weirdly branching out - Metal Gear? Free-roaming. Mirror's Edge? Free-roaming. Pretty sure there's another oddball that's come up in E3, but it escapes me.
The free-roaming might backfire, it might not. That's something that I'll decide for myself. The only thing that could put me off buying this is if EA screws with the gameplay too much - the trailer was too combat oriented for my liking, I want parkour which makes me scratch my noggin and enemies who should be run past, not fought.

Man, I don't want to get my hopes up, but I really did enjoy the first Mirror's Edge. I recognized it had it's faults, but it just felt so different from the norm and I enjoy the parkour so much more in this game than something like Assassin's Creed where you just hold down a button and have all the work done for you. But then there's the EA factor. When they first made ME, it seems like they were legitimately trying to change their image. Now, it's like they're back to their good ole selves again.
Open world? Free roaming? It's not just going to be one great big hallway this time? Okay, now I'm interested again. I'd be even more interested to hear that it'll be in third-person, just because first-person platforming has always been a pain in the ass.
Oh, and lose the unavoidable gunfights. Those weren't necessary in the original game, and they're even less necessary now that damn near every game has you shooting people.

Open world?
It's sort of a double edge sword there.
The level design in the first Mirror's Edge was damn near perfect, opening it up will take a lot of work. I don't want to see the levels become "The path" and "the other stuff that you'll never see if you play the game properly"
As long as they don't go combat crazy, and especially avoid mandatory combat (Like the GOD DAMN BOAT LEVEL) I'll be fine.
YAY MIRROR'S EDGE 2! Or Mirror's Edge... again...
They better not call the third one "Mirror's Edge One"

Dammit, I don't want an Origin account!
That's basically the barrier holding me back from this whole thing.
Stoked about the game itself and also hoping Pratchett got brought in earlier than the last time. I'd like this to have more story than the last open-world game I played (Infamous).

Does everything have to be open world now? Did someone sneak a law through or something? Linear gameplay was never bad y'know...
Anyway, as long as they don't shooterise the shit out of Mirror's Edge 2 it should be awesome. I know it ain't gonna happen but I always feel as though Faith was written a pacifist. I mean the only person she kills outside gameplay was that one guy at the end who was capturing her sister and there was an achievement for not killing anybody.
Oh and could they please patch the online "who can run this level the fastest" so that all the top ghosts aren't jumping everywhere. As in mashing forward and jump moves you quicker than just running and they all exploited that once they found out.
