Got my best time for the birdman race down to 31secs, would love to know how 1st place acheived 25secs..
PS4 code here. Enjoy.
Start with a run up. Go left then cut across down the gap into a roll, run straight, boost up over the box. Keep running straight until you get to the stairs, jump of the rail to get to the 2nd level, run up the stairs until you get to the roof. wall run jump and then coil off the right side, then do a coil jump and run to the mark.
That should be good for 23 seconds
Thanks but i just realised i dont have the coil jump. How do you do this? Is it an unlock?
I have played so far in the beta even comes close to The Edge (which I spent hours trying to perfect).
Initial impressions.
Ahhhhh there are a lot of bad things in the beta.
The visuals are so messy. I loved the clean minimalist look of the previous game, but they've thrown it in the bin.
They removed the backflip (unless I need to grind XP to unlock it because it's 2016).
Theres a mission where I keep getting interrupted with Mission Failed because Im running away instead of fighting.
I didnt think it would be possible for the writing to have less subtlety than the first game.
Im reserving judgement til Ive played more, but Im pretty sure theyve fucked it.
I'm a huge fan of the original game, can beat it in around 90 minutes and spent a great deal of time in the time trials.
Even the very first playable section in Mirror's Edge had lots of depth and replayability, nothing I have played so far in the beta even comes close to The Edge (which I spent hours trying to perfect).

Edit: ive also seen vids on youtube what looks like pc players bunny hopping, it that a bug it sure looks fucked up. Times of 23secs lol :/
I hit 23 without bunny hopping so it is possible. It is an unlock. Once it's unlocked it's press L1 then L2 when you are in the air
Read my reply above yours. I got all achievements in ME1 on 360 (incl. DLC) and also played it through and got 3 stars on all time trials on the PC version, so I'd consider myself a huge ME fan.So as a huge ME fan I'm super hopeful for the game. Can anyone who really liked the first game and got into the beta reassure me that it's gonna be a great new ME game? Or is it rather eh so far? (Don't give a hoot about not state-of-the-art graphics, just talking gameplay and fun)
Is code begging allowed here? So if someone should have a spare code (PS4)...
Really looking forward to the game.

After playing 7 hour and beating all missions that I can find, I'm still happy with it. Bring on June!I've been too busy playing to post, but some thoughts so far:
- Origin is annoying.
- The moment when you reach the city and the music kicks in was awesome.
- I'm actually kind of in love with the movement. A lot of it feels fast and smooth, and the pole swings are neat for example.
- I'm not a big fan of holding space to springboard, maybe I need a new keyboard.
- With a 4.2 GHz 3570k, 2GB GTX 770, 8GB memory, it's running 40-60 fps with mostly low and a couple higher settings. 1680x1050 resolution. Quite smooth running around. Vsync off.
- Weird thing, the game switches from fullscreen to windowed mode when you alt-tab. Kind of neat and unusual.
- The social stuff is surprisingly awesome. You can see on the map where your friends are, and it's really easy to compare times with them.
- Overall I'm quite happy thus far.
It's still a lot of fun to just mess around with the mechanics. At some point I stopped doing any missions or races and jumped around for like 3 hours.

Oh and is this "beta then username" text floating around the screen constantly for everyone else?
I had this problem too. I've played almost exclusively with runner vision off, though that makes some things tough.Also some delivery missions don't show the destination. I've fixed that by waiting, aborting and restarting, that said - I can't get the destination for that vial delivery.
They removed a mechanic here. In the original the best way of landing on these big pads was to quickturn in mid air and hold back on the stick (or S on the keyboard), which would make Faith land flat on her back and slide all the way off the pad. You could also use it to do backward somersaults if you just jumped and landed on a flat surface. You can't do it in Catalyst, though, unless it's hidden in that dumb skill tree.
I haven't minded them thus far. I still don't like Faith's new voice actress but the rest are okay.The unskippable cutscenes can fuck off. They were terrible in ME1 but at least they could be skipped.
Don't even remember if I knew about the first mechanic, but isn't the 2nd one this?
(before I unlocked the quick turn)
Oh wow, I spent a little while trying to do that and I couldn't make it work. Maybe it only works f you jump off a ledge? Maybe I'm just a doofus
I honestly can't tell if Faith's VA is just plain bad or she is going for the whole Aubrey Plaza thing and the animators didn't get the memo.I haven't minded them thus far. I still don't like Faith's new voice actress but the rest are okay.
Not-Morgan-Freeman and Not-Nathan-Drake seem especially good.
It pains me to see this come to pass. Guess I'll have to reinstall the original.

Beta has sold me on the game. Parkour feels great, the directional combat is fun, and I imagine it will get a lot more fun when you start unlocking more moves and shit.
and how the fck is that MUSIC? ME1 had a god tier OST.
two questions
how much gameplay is in the beta (not counting freeroaming stuff)
