Mirror's Edge Sequel May Still Be Running

I don't understand why so many people called this game flawed. Sure, it wasn't absolutely perfect, but EVERY game has some flaws. Mirror's Edge was one of the most exhilarating, immersive, and innovative games I've ever played. It's weaseled its way into my top 5 favorite games. I don't need them to fix anything. I just want more of the same.
I really enjoyed Mirror's Edge and think it deserves the chance to be improved upon. The first game does have flaws, that doesn't mean it should just be put in a box and tossed away. The game has some innovative ideas and with some better implementation it could be a really solid franchise.
Awesome. I feel the same way about Mirror's Edge that I felt about Assassin's Creed. Neat idea, lots of fun, very imperfect. Ubisoft fixed just about everything around the core idea to knock AC 2 and brotherhood out of the park, and I hope these people can do the same for Mirror's Edge. Want to make Mirror's Edge more interesting? Play with a friend and a case of beer. You have to play like you know what you're doing, NO walking up to edges to see if you're going the right way. Bust through a door and commit! When you die (and you WILL die) drink and pass the controller. Also, we were trying to get the achievement where you don't shoot anybody. We spent 2 drunk nights playing through the game, repeatedly frustrated by guards on stairs, only to find out that shooting your friend in the tutorial counts against you....whoops
Don't become one of those TV reporters that needs a pun for everything Andy! We like you too much for that!Andy Chalk said:
But yeah, that one was so forced it was kind of funny, so I'll let it slide.
Hope they make sequel. Cliffhanger at end with mention of mayor behind everything at end. Jacknife tells you.
I love that game I regularly checked for news of a sequel although I was starting to lose hope. I hope that the response they got to the news of cancellation makes them push it further up their list
I loved the original. The only fault I had with the game was how linear the levels were. I would have loved a more open world to play in (even if only after completing the campaign).Shaun555 said:
Other than that, I'm not sure what the 'flaws' were.
The best thing about Mirror's Edge was (spoilers) when you spend the entire game being conditioned into running away and avoiding trouble and bad guys, until at the end you fail a few times trying to run away until you actually listen to what Jackknife is saying ("You can't run forever, Faithy! Sometimes you gotta jump!") and you do that... and complete the game.
For me, that moment was as mind-blowing as "would you kindly" and the final scene of CoD4.
