Except when they tell you to knock down all the enemies in the area. Why DICE? WHY???
Towers?IMO the combat is a huge, streamlined improvement, so I'm OK with this. Once you get the flow of combat and start using more acrobatic movements to take enemies out in one hit/multi-hits, it gets amazing.
It's a pity there's no non-lethal way to take down the towers, though.
Towers?
And yeah combat isn't great but it's a huge improvement over the last game. I feel like a lot of people are fighting all wrong. Just mashing Y or X until they die. Use your momentum, positioning, and focus shield.
Towers?
Exactly. Do 180 rotation jumps off walls to get height, kick enemies into other enemies/off edges, use the right moves against the right enemies (guys with guns weak against slide kicks).
It gets smooth and satisfying AF.
By Towers i mean the towers you have to disarm later in the beta, scattered in the open world. They're really good, i like them, but the group of enemies around them are unavoidable and there's no option to disarm the tower without killing the goons, which is fine for me but shit for players who don't like the combat.
But damn it is ugly on the Xbox One, it's so damn blurry. It can't just be the resolution though because I've played loads of 720p games which looked far cleaner and clearer than this.
Also looking over the edge of buildings down to ground level reveals some truly hilariously poor graphics. I get that the city below isn't supposed to be the focus, but blimey.
Fair enough, I hope they manage to improve it somewhat.People need to remember this is also a Beta. The full thing releases in just under two months. This build is probably from a few months ago and is optimised just to test the server load with route creation and leaderboards. There will have been many improvements.
Fair play re any gameplay criticisms though.
Oh yes, these two definitely should happen! That said, I wouldn't mind an optional indicator in the HUD telling me where the destination is during delivery missions, without showing me the way, though it's probably more fun without any clues at all (you can still check the destination in the map).A few things that need to be sorted for the final game:
I play without runner vision as I think it makes the game far more fun, on the delivery missions finding where the actually final location is a puzzle itself and takes a few runs to pinpont, at the moment when you redo them do not repeat the animation or the audio explanation it is really annoying. Same with a few of the dashes they are near an audio cue so every time you restart you get the same audio clip, sometimes twice as it will sometimes be triggered in the loading screen then when you spawn.
Just unlock coil, roll and quick turn from the get go. If you want players to read about the abilities before hand give us three points in the bank to use immediately.
Lol I can't even run the game on my pc...
I guess Radeon HD 6900 isn't supported. It crashes immediately and I get a popup saying "The display driver has stopped working and recovered".
I'm planning on buying a GTX 970 or R9 390 soon. Anyone can tell me if it runs decently?
The plan is that you'll use an app to choose from in-game options you unlock (the Runner Kits you pick up). You can go to http://mirrorsedge.com/map and customize your profile/tag right now.So in the final game would hacking billboards show a custom sign or just your gamertag?

Any videos?
Ooooh, do share, I want to see!

I wouldn't play too much with the shift movement bug if I were you. I would gladly upload a video showing you how I did it, but after exiting the game in that area of the city yesterday I've been stuck in an infinite loading screen before I'm even able to access the main menu.
Not sure if you guys are playing on PC, but by hitting the right mouse button repeatedly you can traverse small inclines that you normally should slide off of instead. Here is a video I uploaded displaying it in practice before my game broke.

You've been warned.

Same problem here. It'll actually boot the game for me but the driver crashes before I can play. I'm canceling my pre-order unfortunately. The first game was one of my favourite games last gen :/
I'll pick it up at a discount when I get a new card (pascal/polaris) I guess.
Cool, thanks! I think I wanna go for the R9 because it costs pretty much the same as the 970 but it looks like my PSU will need an update as well :/. Might just as well wait for the new cards to drop then I guessRuns fine on my 970. Pretty much constant 60 fps on 1080p @ Ultra, once I used RTSS to fix the frame pacing.
Mind you, for Mirror's Edge specifically the R9 390 is probably the better choice, since this game is clearly optimized for AMD.
Yeah it sucks. I hope they'll fix the performance for the console releases as I might just pick up the PS4 release if I don't have a new card by then. Feels bad though, this is the first time I've actually not been able to play a game because my gpu is too old... Ouch.Same problem here.

Towers plural? Is there more than one?

If you're a fan of the original you should at least try the final game. EA is very good about refunds, you won't have any trouble.
This is a Beta, man. A build far behind where they are now - possibly months behind. Who knows how much better optimised the full game will be.
Fair enough cancelling the preprder, but don't write the game off yet. See how the feedback is after release. Might be greatly improved, might still be shambolic.
I have a physical copy pre-ordered though, no returns for that. It doesn't seem to work without crashing for anyone with my card so I'm not going to waste money on the off chance they fix the game before release. I can wait.
It actually doesn't even work with my card, it's not that it just runs poorly.
Is it possible to play the beta tomorrow? I ask because I just downloaded the game but have to run to work and can't play until then. I hope to play it at some point.

guys please take pity on my and help me in my plight! i have been stuck for over an hour on the traversal attack in the battle tutorial where you springboard an wall run. Im on ps4 and whatever i do, i can get far enough and keep on being reset. they never even told me how to springboard and i don't see any springboard either. someone please help me. I got stuck on this same issue last night and have gotten no further today. thanks.
If game is using 13.8GB of RAM, that game is fucking up. Especially when it doesn't look like much, like this game.
You hold the button to springboard.
thanks but i've been holding it and it doesn't seem to work. It says springborard+wallrun+jump+triangle. but aren't those all the L1? just running at thw wall and holding down L1 doesnt seem to work
Anyone with problems with screen tearing on PC? Even with v-sync engaged?

Also, unskippable cutscenes after a checkpoint are evil. Don't do that. Also let me turn off all the player created trials.
