Much looking forward to seeing more about this. Found the first one very interesting and absolute fantastic visually, though it didn't really get into it it had a lot of potential. So far this is looking good and I have confidence in DICE.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

It's a given with any EA published game unless confirmed otherwise. This has not been confirmed otherwise yet, therefore it is a given. Forget DICE's history. This is EA publishing going forward.

Honestly, this is completely ridiculous. The vast majority of games EA has released in the past couple years have not required an online connection.

I realize people hate EA, but come on.

 

[KarasuEXE]

Came here to say her face looks off. Let's wait new images and trailers.

 

[TM94]

Can't wait to see that glorious art style pop on new-gen.

 

[HarryKS]

She is having a bad hair day.

 

[munroe]

What's with all these announcements? I thought E3 was next week?

Essentially previews, people are more likely to watch it if there's something of interest.

 

[GQman2121]

Hopefully they don't move to open world or unnecessarily bite off more than they stomach.

 

[Plinko]

What I want: Keep parkour the focus. Ignore/remove the gunplay. I'll be in day one.

What I expect: Shootbang with a side of running/jumping.

 

[bananafactory]

while looking even close to this?

Yes......I don't think the system could do that.

The system could easily have a "Morpheus mode" that reduces some settings in order to bring performance up to spec

ARK is coming to Morpheus and it's a pretty good looking game too

 

[Stone Ocean]

To the people feeling weird about her new looks, remember this is how faith actually looks like in the game's art style as ooposed to stylized artwork

 

[Falchion]

Mirror's Edge is one of my favorite games of all time despite how short it was. I bought it day 1 on PS3 for $60, went home and beat it in one session and didn't even feel disappointed.

It sucks that it probably won't get released until well into 2016 but I'll happily wait however much longer since it's already been 7 years since the first.

 

[JetSetRadio]

This is not a sequel, this is not Mirror's Edge 2.

I'll play it as I loved Mirror's Edge but this is disappointing, there were some shitty parts too and I would like to see all new environments.

The real Mirror's Edge starts in time trials.

 

[Dark Fact]

@DICE, please remove the ability for Faith to pick up/use guns at all! This was the weakest part of Mirror's Edge, and the game was clearly meant to be played without them. Just force the subject and have her ignore them always to make players solve problems with her alone.

 

[TheSeks]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have a sandbox mode, DICE-DICE. I just want drop-in/drop-out with a sandbox mode. Anything else (mod ability, which ain't gonna happen since LOL Frostbite) would be killer.

I'm so happy that we're going to see more of this at E3. Been waiting two years for this. OMG.

 

[funkystudent]

Is it still open world?

 

[komorebi]

To the people feeling weird about her new looks, remember this is how faith actually looks like in the game's art style as ooposed to stylized artwork

I prefer her new look, tbh.

 

[ViciousDS]

maybe disable certain physics to reduce strain......hm, would be interesting. The feeling of VR though would insanely make up for the visual downgrade. I can see plenty of people getting nauseated lol. People thought the first one was nauseating without the dot.....wait till you start parkouring in VR.......damn

 

[Hip Hop]

I truly can't wait for it, hope the open world rumors are true.

 

[bombshell]

I'll play it as I loved Mirror's Edge but this is disappointing, there were some shitty parts too and I would like to see all new environments.

It's not a remake of the first, it's a reboot like the first game never happened. So it will be 100% new environments, and I think it was rumoured to be open world.

 

[BronsonLee]

What I want: Keep parkour the focus. Ignore/remove the gunplay. I'll be in day one.

What I expect: Shootbang with a side of running/jumping.

I highly expect them to straight up take out being able to use guns.

 

[TheSeks]

What I expect: Shootbang with a side of running/jumping.

They already said two years ago that they're making the focus purely on running with very VERY little combat, if any combat the combat is going to be "with motion." No stopping to disarm and pop people with a gun. You can wall-run, smack someone with your leg to take down and continue in a flow. Provided their goals haven't changed since last E3.

 

[GravityMan]

I'm wary. Hopefully they won't casual-ize or dumb the game down in an attempt to appeal to a more mainstream audience. We'll see.

And Faith's new look is fine.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

I'm a lot more hopeful.

EA/DICE isn't run by idiots. They have to be aware that everyone hated the gunplay in Mirror's Edge.

Don't get me wrong, they could very well screw this up. But I suspect that there will be waaaaay less gunplay.

 

[Xpliskin]

HYPED. Is it E3 already?

Lmao excellent

 

[Maintenance]

Can't wait for that always-online requirement.

 

[Darkstorne]

If I see the words "more combat focused" associated with this game I'm out.

Hopefully they say "We realize combat in Mirror's Edge broke the flow of movement, so it's gone completely now - this is a game about free-running, not guns!"

 

[Gbraga]

Is it still open world?

I hope it isn't. Or at least not in the Ubisoft meaning of the expression.

I'd be ok with something like Dark Souls. Or the open world being just an online HUB with races and other side events, but once you get to the place where your story mission wil start, there's a loding screen, the game loads an actual level, and shit goes down.

I can't see how an Ubisoft open world could be as good as a contrived level with obstacles and whatnot.

There's also the issue that it would either be too complex to simply traverse from point A to point B or completely dumbed down in order not to be too complex, which would be even worse.

I'm a lot more hopeful.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about focus on guns at all. Mirror's Edge is no Call of Duty when it comes to popularity, EA has better franchises if they just want to use a name to sell, it makes no sense to make another Mirror's Edge if it isn't really Mirror's Edge anymore.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I'll play it as I loved Mirror's Edge but this is disappointing, there were some shitty parts too and I would like to see all new environments.

It's a brand new game. They're just using that language to say that it's not just new levels with a 2 slapped on the box.

 

[Uno Venova]

Hope this works out better than the usual reboots for niche franchises made with efforts to go mainstream.

 

[GQman2121]

People on the internet are so basic. It's a game where you never see the protagonist during gameplay. Who gives a shit what she looks like? Besides, both designs are so damn similar anyway it's the last thing anyone should be worrying about.

 

[LiK]

Just bring back the original theme song.

 

[Futurevoid]

To the people feeling weird about her new looks, remember this is how faith actually looks like in the game's art style as ooposed to stylized artwork

No. This is Faith in-game:

http://i.minus.com/itsYrT45OD4nj.jpg

For the short stint that you actually see her.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Just bring back the original theme song.

Oh god this is a must. Still Alive !

 

[BronsonLee]

Just bring back the original theme song.

And Solar Fields, please.

 

[Razzorn34]

In all honesty, you do have to wonder at times. I have zero faith until I see some gameplay.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Please EA don't fuck it up.

 

[Kaako]

Does Battlefront have this stuff?

Not sure but I hope not. Given unless confirmed otherwise is how I'm treating EA published games going forward from now on.

Honestly, this is completely ridiculous. The vast majority of games EA has released in the past couple years have not required an online connection.

I realize people hate EA, but come on.

Don't give a shit about the last couple of years. I said EA publishing going forward and given unless confirmed otherwise. This also has nothing to do with 'EA hate.' I believe it's their strategy going forward; Gamespot had an article on it a month back as well I believe. For all our sakes, I hope they confirm otherwise at E3. I hope the press sneak fucks hammer them with that question for every single game they're publishing.

My hype is growing.

 

[Peltz]

Rebooting an IP that was extremely well-received after only one game? DICE, what are you doing?

It could work...

 

[Buttonbasher]

No. This is Faith in-game:

http://i.minus.com/itsYrT45OD4nj.jpg

For the short stint that you actually see her.

Nah, that's from the announcement trailer (that scene doesn't appear in the game), so the person you're replying to is technically correct.

 

[GQman2121]

Just bring back the original theme song.

It really is great. Seems like an easy decision.

 

[Z O N E]

This E3 will make me want to skip my sisters wedding at this rate!

 

[Loading]

All we need now is some gameplay at E3 and the release date (I'm guessing early 2016)

 

[PillarEN]

Just bring back the original theme song.

Sans vocals though and then I agree.
The main motif is really the part I like the most.

 

[TheYanger]

I need this ASAP. Mirror's Edge is legitimately my favorite game of the last generation, and I played it probably a half dozen times at least.

 

[sweenster]

I wonder what the hell Faith is wearing on her right wrist, looks like some fancy gadget

 

[BronsonLee]

It's a tattoo retoucher!

 

[Turin Turambar]

I won't say "stupid bitch" but the new face is a downgrade. I don't like the lips.

 

[Peltz]

while looking even close to this?

Yes......I don't think the system could do that.

This is footage from last e3 or the one before it right?

Unless... was this what the PC version of the original Mirror's Edge looked like?!?
