Mirror's Edge Megathread - Games

[QUOTE=KrAzY_nikomo]I don't get this from the story trailer: [img]http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/8817/messagegu8.jpg[/img] The information is going back where it fucking came from.[/QUOTE] Okay first of all there are tons of buildings surrounding them. The person with the "from" package could've came in a straight line while the "to" guy may make a hard right as soon as he lands. Another reason it works that way because being a runner is their job. So it's not like they deliver one package and disappear from life. That guy may have had another package to retrieve in that direction and was only setting himself up for the most fluid, efficient path possible.

I thought it was pretty good. Graphically it's great, reminds me of HL2 a little bit, and while the gameplay was a little tough to pick up (too many buttons to remember) it looks like it'd work really well if I had more time to play with it. The horrible pseudo-anime main character and the dumb GRRLS AGAINST CONFORMITY!!! theme is pretty irritating, though.

Oh shit, I forgot the demo came out today.

[QUOTE=Roboticist]Oh shit, I forgot the demo came out today.[/QUOTE] Came out yesterday.

[QUOTE=rapperkid04]Came out yesterday.[/QUOTE] Came out Thursday.

Does anyone have the time trial levels?

[QUOTE=Guitar]Came out Thursday.[/QUOTE] PS3 - Thursday Xbox360 - Friday Nintendo DS - Next week PC - To be announced (The DS was a joke...)

[QUOTE=77boy84]If she was anime, she'd have huge eyes, and blue hair.[/QUOTE] Most new animes have normal eyes, but colorful hair still look cool.

That was strange. Extra lanky (can I turn off the limbs in my view? Kinda disproportionate- the only way I could've seen her legs the way I did in hanging from something would've required her to have an extra foot or so of abdomen.), smells like a JRPG (Oh God the music and the eye tattoo), and stupidly fun (zip line- oh, I'm supposed to fall on the squishy thing? Nah. *massive drop*)

Demo was quite good, the game is very polished. I noticed off in the distance though that there is a huge tower that seems like a Citadel rip-off. It looks cool though, the game probably ends in that tower I bet.

PC Demo please! :crying:

[QUOTE=stepat201] I noticed off in the distance though that there is a huge tower that seems like a Citadel rip-off..[/QUOTE] Have you ever played simcity?

If they wanted Faith to drive weaboo kids nuts when they buy this, mission accomplished. Honestly, I hate how she looks. She doesn't look asian in first person (HANDS) then her face is fucking yellow in third person. And that tattoo... I still love this game, though. Imagine a freeroaming game like this. Like FarCry 2, but on rooftops. :3: [b]Edit:[/b] Oh yeah, I'm going to try to kill the cops at the end of the demo, the ones with machine guns.

I don't know if I'll get it on Xbox or PC. I'm pretty sure my 260 MB Graphics card won't be able to run the game at maximum, and laptop graphics cards are fucking expensive. On the other hand, DICE says they'll make the PC version amazing, so I don't know. Maybe I'll even end up getting both. Who knows? [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=AgoatV2] Oh yeah, I'm going to try to kill the cops at the end of the demo, the ones with machine guns.[/QUOTE] Their guns disappear. I carried a pistol all the way to the part before the ladder, then when the cops came I jumped down again and grabbed the pistol, and went up again and headshotted them all, all in a desperate attempt to get their guns.

[QUOTE=77boy84]If she was anime, she'd have huge eyes, and blue hair.[/QUOTE] I said pseudo-anime. Like, that kind of "westerners trying to rip off anime but not doing a very good job" kind of thing. Lookit her hair!

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*]Their guns disappear. I carried a pistol all the way to the part before the ladder, then when the cops came I jumped down again and grabbed the pistol, and went up again and headshotted them all, all in a desperate attempt to get their guns.[/QUOTE] Well, that sucks.

Looked shit. Downloaded demo. Played shit. The best thing about this game is that the baddies have PK on their backs (for Player Killer, geddit?)

Demo was fun, but entirely too short. [b]Edit:[/b] ESPECIALLY for the 1 gig download!

the demo was fun, but it seemed insanely linear.

I loved the demo, I've played it trough over 10 times. This game is going on my b-day wish-list.

[QUOTE=lazyguy]Looked shit. Downloaded demo. Played shit. [/QUOTE] explain

[QUOTE=Memphisbell]So there [I]are[/I] guns? :4chan:[/QUOTE] yes shotgun, pistol, and smg(I believe) all guns only have 1 clip and you can't pick up ammo, and your run speed gets reduced

Holy shit, killing those armored cops is HARD. So's killing the regular cops after you fall through the vent. And why are their machine guns empty when you disarm them? :mad:

[QUOTE=John Edwards]yes shotgun, pistol, and smg(I believe) all guns only have 1 clip and you can't pick up ammo, and your run speed gets reduced[/QUOTE] Heard in some wiki thing that there are 15 guns. :raise: [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=whazat!!!]Holy shit, killing those armored cops is HARD.

I just preordered from Play.com, anybody have any idea when my preorder code will come, and how it will come? By e-mail I hope.

I have now played the demo 5 times through. I really wish it was longer and less linear. However, this seems to have the makings of a truly first-rate game.

It has to be linear, otherwise you could jump down to any building, then have no way of getting back to where you're supposed to be. Very fun game, just wish I had the money for it.
