Hype hype hype, now just give us a great gameplay presentation at the press conference.

 

[ironcreed]

Excited for this. Hopefully they've nailed the controls and fixed some of the awkwardness of the first game.

Indeed. The first one had such promise and I hope I end up liking this one more.

 

[ShamePain]

Man, Frostbite is doing work, dem graphixxx.

 

[Obliterator]

I hate her new look. She looks like a stupid bitch.

Wow. Tell us how you really feel

 

[User 479360]

The first one had its moments, but it was too repetitive and the way you needed to be right on with your jumps in order to grab ledges was frustrating.

I may pass on this.

 

[The_Lump]

Curious about these pre-e3 announcements. The only logical explanation is that those within the industry have gotten wind that there is some earth-shatteringly-momentous megaton of an announcement due to be made at the expo, which will completely drown out their own pitiful offerings.

My money is on HL3 being NX exlusive, but that's PURE CONJECTURE. >.>


OT: Cool. Can't wait

 

[Nirolak]

So this is EA's March 2016 title right? That mean Mass Effect 4 will be by the end of the year along BF5.

If by "the end of the year" you mean "end of 2016" you are correct.

This Fall is Need For Speed and Battlefront.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

FUCK.YES.

Inject that heroin(e) right in the vein DICE.

 

[misho8723]

Faith now looks different, isn't she?

 

[BennyBlanco]

Is this some kind of remaster? Hard to tell from the wording.

 

[GavinUK86]

Were you really attached to Faith's sister and the deep and wholly original conspiracy plotline of the original?
I'm glad they recognize that character deserves a better origin story, and just story in general, than what we got in ME1.

I do feel oddly attached to the first game, even though I can't put my finger on why.

Is this some kind of remaster? Hard to tell from the wording.

It's a reboot. Ignore the first one, play this one, is what EA meant to say.

 

[Bulzeeb]

as long as they don't turn the game into another mindless shooter, combat was the most boring part of the first game.

 

[Mononoke]

Morpheus and Oculus support?

Someone else on here said Dying Light was a puke fest. This game seems like it would be even more intense.

 

[Raptor]

Really nice, cant wait to see some gameplay.

 

[Kriken]

Can't wait to see more of this

 

[Dahaka]

They probably know they can't reach the magic of the original again (ambience, music, atmosphere, almost dream like experience) so a reboot is the easy way out. Probably gonna introduce weapons and general easier accessibility.

Yeah i am negative but i love the first game so much. Would have preferred them building upon the original.

 

[BronsonLee]

I hate her new look. She looks like a stupid bitch.

What the hell

 

[FelipeMGM]

It's a complete reboot, like the first never existed.



There's a good chance it'll be semi-open world. It won't be online only though.

Got it

Thanks

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

I hope it is not a prequel. I prefer a reboot rather than a prequel. I also hope they are using Star Wars BattleFron and NFS updated engine for this (which means I hope they updated the engine they were using on it since the time of the first showing of the game).

 

[Neuromancer]

I hope the rumors about the always online persistent world part were wrong.

 

[Feorax]

Cannot wait for this.

 

[jett]

I hope I'll be able run this thing at 60fps on my PC.

I'm weary about all these comments about it not being a sequel and "honoring" the first game, whatever that means, but I'm eager to see what they have done.

 

[bombshell]

So this is EA's March 2016 title right? That mean Mass Effect 4 will be by the end of the year along BF5.

Both Mirror's Edge and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 are Q1 next year.

 

[crmetteer]

I hated the first game. It was the only game I have ever thrown in the garbage. But hearing that this is a reboot will keep my mind open for a while.

 

[Dabanton]

I hate her new look. She looks like a stupid bitch.

Huh?

Anyway a reboot is fine. The story in the first game was the definition of lightly sketched

 

[Soulstar]

This just makes the wait for e3 even longer. This is definitely on of the games I'm most excited for.

 

[joeblow]

Hopefully it is less of a Sonic the Hedgehog game like the last one. I felt that the rigid gameplay required too much trial and error memorization and not allowing for enough on-the-fly intuition and alternative approaches to the challenges.

 

[Akai__]

EA rebooting Mirrors Edge and Need for Speed. I hope they pull awesome things of.

 

[Gbraga]

Should I prepare for a dumbed down prequel/reboot?

Yes. Always prepare for the worse.

I hate her new look. She looks like a stupid bitch.

wat

 

[thelastword]

Holy smokes, Faith is looking good. Show us some gameplay then or a trailer.

 

[Kid Ska]

Word!

 

[vilmer_]

Day 0.

 

[kmax]

I'm hyped, but why a reboot? I think the first game is fine as it is. Maybe we'll learn more about the runners and get better characters.

Rhianna Pratchett's not involved this time around, so they might of felt to start over from scratch. As it's a reboot, we'll see completely new characters and new relationships being formed that probably wouldn't make a lot of sense had it been a prequel. As they're starting from a clean slate, they're pretty much free to do whatever at this point.

Please don't be open world.

I am going to be disappointed, aren't I?

You probably will.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I'm cool with it being open world so long as it's an open-world made entirely of rooftops and offices. With no vehicles and a 90% perfect chance of falling to your death whenever you need to go anywhere.

 

[KainXVIII]

People still believed that DICE can deliver? smh if so

 

[Obliterator]

I actually like Faiths new look MORE than the original. Looks more like a real human to me

 

[Trago]

Maybe they didn't like where they were story wise or something and want to make a solid foundation for the future of the franchise. Seems like they are taking this very seriously.

On one hand you're totally right, but on the other, they could change stuff that we liked from the original.

My hope is that parkour is still the main focus, but the combat is more finely tuned.

 

[keltickennedy]

Would love to see a morpheus and Vive version announced, bundled with messenger bag and puke bucket.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Nitpick time:

Lose the arm tattoos, please. They're tacky as fuck.

Everything looks excellent otherwise.

She looks so fit.

dayum

 

[Keyser Soze]

Is it a reboot? A remake?

Im dumb, explain me Shinobi

It is the same core idea worked into something new

Let's say you wrote down everything that Mirrors Edge was on a piece of paper, but the person you gave it to was not forced to work based on the ideas seen in the old game.

It is kinda like the last Tomb Raider game - going back to the roots, doing things different. They can keep them similar. but not forced too.

 

[EroticSushi]

HYPED. Is it E3 already?

 

[schlongdog]

I hate her new look. She looks like a stupid bitch.

You sound like one

 

[Robiin]

Maybe they will start this generation like the last, with trying new things (albeit safer, these aren't new IPs after all).. Hopefully they won't end the generation the same way as last time.

 

[Leafhopper]

Not sure why they are reebooting it.

Not like the plot was bad or anything. Oh well I loved the original Mirror's Edge, hopefully my PC can run this if I get it.

Maybe they wrote themselves into a corner.

 

[kubus]

Finally <3

Not a fan of Faith's new look... Her face looks... different? Maybe it's just the weird angle.

Anyway I'm so excited for this. I'll stay up until 3AM just to see any new footage.

 

[ktroopa]

question please.

does this game haz the guns you can shoots?

 

[Infurino]

All the yes!

 

[Jb]

I do feel oddly attached to the first game, even though I can't put my finger on why.

To the 1st game, asbolutely. I occasionally re-install this just because there's nothing like it out there.
But the narrative, from the characters to the presentation (remember those awful 2D cutscenes?) were completely forgettable.

 

[GlamFM]

I hate her new look. She looks like a stupid bitch.

Meh...

 

[Shining Sunshine]

reboot after one game? lol
