Mirror's Edge Megathread - Games

Demo was way too short. Fun, but way too short. Also, I want to take down more guards!

Can't, stop, playing, the demo! It's addicting man. It is just so cool!

[QUOTE=ryno5660]Have you played the demo? It has many paths you can take to get to your target.[/QUOTE] I did and I really tried to find other paths, but I always ended up using the path I used the first time.

[QUOTE=Robber]I did and I really tried to find other paths, but I always ended up using the path I used the first time.[/QUOTE] There are other paths. You just have to look for them. You're not going to be fighting guards left and right. You'll disarm a couple, but the key thing is to [b]run away from the baddies.[/b]

Great demo. Now to decide which version I want... PS3, 360 or PC...

I'd PC or 360 since DICE has only ever made one PS3 game before this. The PC version is delayed though, so that leaves one option.

[QUOTE=mastermaul]There's nothing to halo. Run around shooting aliens. Uh... OK, I could already do that in Space Invaders.[/QUOTE] I don't like Halo. I never said I liked Halo. I can't fucking stand Halo.

The demo was really a huge disappointment. The character didn't do what I told her to do, the controls felt clunky and unintuitive, seriously now, R1 for turn 180 degrees is the dumbest button placement ever, the combat felt terrible to use and no matter how much I tried, there was only one route, yea sure you can go on top of a hut as well as around it, but it's the same god damned route. Little things like unvaultable/jumpable knee high obstacles ruined it for me. I was really looking forward to this but somehow I knew it'd be a mess.

And the controls are fine your timing must suck if you can't fight properly nor vault over stuff.

[QUOTE=markg06]It's only a tiny bit from a level what the fuck did you expect this wide open area where you can do everything and see everything? And the controls are fine your timing must suck if you can't fight properly nor vault over stuff.[/QUOTE] Eh, the fighting felt mostly crap, you gotta admit. The punch is awkward, as is the sliding kick, and because you have to wait for a magic moment to do disarms, they're impractical, at least coming from the front or side. Also, running full speed, flying into a guy, and then kicking them and bouncing off, you lose a lot of that sense of weight and momentum that things like the roll built up. Not a control issue, I know, it just bugs me that Faith magically weighs five pounds when in combat, but closer to 120 when hitting the ground. Still feels great overall though, and I'm sure in the full game I'd get adjusted to it better. Besides, fighting isn't the point, so it not working well makes sense.

[highlight]THIS IS NOT A FUCKING FIGHTING GAME. PLAY HALO OR BATTLETOADS IF YOU WANT TO FUCKING FIGHT.[/highlight]

[B][I][U]BATTLETOADS FUCK YEAH![/U][/I][/B] But anyway, I got the demo on the 360 after I noticed 4 people were playing it. Needless to say, I've beaten the demo 15 times now.

I watched the gameplay video in the op. It seems all the cops/guards can't shoot at all. What happens if you get shot? Is it the same kind of "ugh! *red flash*" and then you just continue or do you actually get wounded or something? [QUOTE=Sams Brume][highlight]THIS IS NOT A FUCKING FIGHTING GAME. PLAY HALO OR BATTLETOADS IF YOU WANT TO FUCKING FIGHT.[/highlight][/QUOTE] That's no reason to for the fighting to be crappy. It's not a fighting game, but fighting is a part of the game.

In This Thread: Fanboys.

also we need a PC demo.

pc demo is not out till 09

[QUOTE=Double NA]Has anyone got a download of Still Alive (the theme song?) I don't think I'm requesting Warez, am I? It's not on any of Lisa Miskovsky's albums and it's not out as a single so..[/QUOTE] [media]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TERyxFfMqDk[/media] [url]http://www.mega.upload.com/dk/?d=UA5S3ZFN[/url]

I fucking love the demo. There's not a whole lot of bad things I can say about the game. Sometimes the fighting is a little weird, and kind of weird to use, but this game wasn't built on fighting. They're called [I]runners[/I] for a reason guys. :downs:

This game is sex. I love how it's all high quality, even the streets, so it looks pretty even when you're dieing.

Just standing on a roof looking down on the city is amazing. Cars passing by, people walking about. I am buying this game.

Is there going to be a kind of free-roam mode in the game where you can just run around rooftops and such? If not, that just motherfucking sucks so hard.

[QUOTE=DrDean]Is there going to be a kind of free-roam mode in the game where you can just run around rooftops and such? If not, that just motherfucking sucks so hard.[/QUOTE] ..No.

[QUOTE=DrDean]Is there going to be a kind of free-roam mode in the game where you can just run around rooftops and such? If not, that just motherfucking sucks so hard.[/QUOTE] No, it doesn't have one, but the way the game is built, it doesn't need it.

This game really have the Trackmania:nations forever graphics feeling. Anyone agree with me?

[QUOTE=ray243]This game really have the Trackmania:nations forever graphics feeling. Anyone agree with me?[/QUOTE] I see what you mean, all that clear white or shiney stuff gives it a similar feel.

I wish I could play the demo. BUT THOSE FUCKWADS AT EA DIDN'T RELEASE ONE! Seriously, what kind of company doesn't release a PC demo? WHY THE FUCK DOES PC ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE DELAYED CONSOLE?? These games are fucking MADE on a PC! EA never cease to enrage me! I hear that the PC version's going to be released in "Late winter" So I assume that means something like MAY from what I know about these things. (In all seriousness, I'm betting on February) It better be worth the wait! :argh: RAGE!
