Just bought this game on PC.
Is there any graphics settings to change, all I'm seeing are just presets?

You can press or hold the skill roll button to quickly spring out of a high landing, but it's a skill you have to unlock. You can unlock it pretty early, maybe the first hour or two.Ok
Just a few questions.
Playing on PC with Xbone controller.
What FOV is the best/should I chose? I'm using 90 which is the highest and it has that warp effect like in Doom.
In the original game, when drop down for a high surface you wold do a forward roll when you hit the ground to lessen the impact, ,what's the equivalent in this one?
What does SHIFT do while running? I know you can use it to dodge left/right when in combat.
Making full use of their blistering performance, and 8GB framebuffer, DICE is able to dramatically increase environmental detail and shadow quality on the new 10 Series graphics cards, and further improve the quality of reflections, visual effects, environmental maps, image based lighting, motion blur, and Resolution Scale’s downsampling. Classed as “Hyper” settings, these enhancements enable users to explore a richer, more detailed city on the very best PCs and graphics cards, delivering the definitive Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst experience.
I don't know about "we", but I loved the first game and thought the second was a worthy sequel.Was this good? do we like this? I was thinking about picking it up for cheep later. My wallet/life is only allowing me to play dishonored 2 and deus ex 2 and maybe one other larger game for the rest of the year. got room for some small indie stuff.
I feel like it's more an experimental setting. It might improve pop-in, or maybe it makes certain distant textures better, but it also might randomly crash if you run out of memory.I unchecked gpu memory restrictions and it didn't look any different than having it enabled on hyper on 980ti.

-The city looks amazing like holy shit the art style is just WOW, I kept taking tons of screenshots and The View district is just sooo beautiful. The visuals overall were very good. The only bad thing were the cutscenes they stuttered like hell, and wtf is that lip syncing it's so baaad that my brother was watching me play and asked is this dubbed ?
it is that bad.
- The story isn't that bad like most people said, it's definitely better than the first game and at least has more depth, buuut it could've been much much better.
Faith didn't speak all that much during the missions I couldn't really relate to her.
- Finally the best thing about the game: THE MUSIC. I can't stress enough how Solar fields nailed the music in this one , it is so fucking good. I stopped so many times just to hear the ambience and look at the city.
The View district soo good
... I hope to god we get another game after that damn ending.
They try and catch her for the rest of the game tho... including immediately after she drops off the gridSo I just got this from the Origin sale.
"Now Faith, you're out of jail as long as you behave."
Literally 30 seconds later she drops off "the grid" and is assaulting officers.

Sorry, never heard of that. You might try a reboot or reinstall?Anyone? Still stuck on this splash screen. :/
Got this recently on XBO, just started it last night. I'm digging the open world, the running is as fun as ever. Kind of shocked the game scored so low on some sites. I loved the original, for what its worth.
I think this is a pretty reasonable assessment. Some will like the story and characters more, others less. But the big things that appealed to me about the original game -- the movement, the soundtrack, and the atmosphere -- are still there. I really think the movement in the new game may be better than the original. They left room for some high-level play while fixing the bunny hop exploit in the beta.Alright, so. I finished the game. I actually really, really liked it. Not as much as I liked Mirror's Edge (1?) but it's an interesting game that actually does Open World both right and wrong.
Wrong because it just barfs hundreds and hundreds of collectibles around the world, 99% of which have no use or purpose at all. Except to give you Exp which are a whole different problem. None of the items in the skill tree are actually fun or interesting, except the ones you actually need to properly play the game. Which is annoying. I want to do the Dashes but I might as well not bother unless I'm fully upgraded cause sometimes there is no way to get 3 stars wihout the magrope. Everything else? Boring and useless.
The story is just a long and boring fart. I love how the game felt like it was too obvious aboutso it just dropped the revelation in a side comment with no fanfare whatsoever. I thought that was kinda funny, though maybe not intended. But who cares, the story in ME 1 was bad, so is the story in ME C. All the characters suck but it's not like I'm missing the CHARISMATIC characters from ME1 like...blond girl. And traitor guy. Or detective whitehair.Isabel being Faith's sister
But here is what I think the game does incredibly right: ALL the story missions are seperate from the open world, own environements, specifically set up for the mission. All too often missions in open world games are just random stuff you do anyway while playing the game (Arkham Knight did a shitton of that). But here every mission is it's own little thing. You basically can play this game as a linear game if you want, and I appreciate that.
Anyway, I'm surprised how much I enjoy this game. The movement is just spot on which makes the simple act of running around the city just fun. I doubt we will ever see a Mirror's Edge 3 which is a shame cause I feel like they could so easily build on this game, iron out the bad parts and make a really, really amazing Mirror's Edge. But that will probably never happen.

The gridnodes and secret bags were actually very good collectibles. Gridnodes work like coins in Mario games, i.e. they are there as a guide as you explore each area. If you pay attention, most of them show you different paths to take,or simply show you an area is accessible or a move should be used at a certain point. The secret bags were cool because they were like their own mini puzzles. It was quite rewarding to finally figure out how to get some of them. In regards to the chips though, those were indeed trash, Ubisoft style collectibles.
I just booted the OG game on my XBone through BC and I immediately noticed the gameplay was worse. Faith's movement, along with the combat were greatly improved in Catalyst and it's hard to go back now. I suppose the 30fps didn't help either.
Anyone had/have these weird graphics glitches on PC:

It was happening to me during the Beta, and it's happening now too. I have latest drivers (R9 280x) and i am not sure what could be causing this.
Might just be because I'm tired and viewing on a blue-less phone screen but I'm not sure what you're talking about based on those vids
Look at the clothes Icarus is wearing.

Totally. If you liked Mirror's Edge you will probably like Catalyst.
I'm a sucker for Parkour in games, I've played a loooooot of Dying Light and had a blast just running around, trying to just.....never stop and slow down. This is the same. The open world actually makes sense cause the movement feels so good. Sadly the soundtrack didn't do much for me this time, not saying it's bad though.
Yeah, the gridnodes were fine. The chips, recordings and "secret documents" just felt like "Well, we gotta do something, right?" Especially cause those things went completely against the entire design of the game and required you to slow down or stop. The gridnodes were fine cause you could just collect them by running through them.
I'm contemplating pulling up a list and collecting all the documents and recordings now though, they are the only achievments left. Might as well finish what I've started.
I'm listening through the soundtrack while working, and it is indeed great in places. "Anchor District" totally caught me by surprise since I don't remember that track ingame.I wasn't too big on the soundtrack at first, but listening to it on spotify really helped my appreciate it more. "The View District" and "The Shard" songs are amazing, although you'll need a good amount of time to listen to them.
