Shitty Killzone 2 quality though, but I assume there will be better versions up soon enough. Mirror's Edge is  :hyper

If they are going up today, I might not even get to try out Haze today, I'll just be replaying the ME trailer over, and over, and over. And then tonight, I'll burn one and watch it again. And again.

First person game with free running focus. You play as a courier in the "overground".

No Haze demo for US at this time, only on the Euro stores.

And why are those jackasses on that other board focusing on Killzone 2? Mirror's Edge, bitches!

IGN: "it looks like Killzone 2 may be dangerously close to embarking upon the same road as its predecessor in offering ambience to the detriment of its other aspects. Traipsing through the level at hand, we come across an alarming number of crates, which although are all the better for showing off the cover system, belie some uninspired level design...................Similarly, some of the game's appropriations were sadly wide of the mark – when one of the grunts exclaims he feels 'like a spare prick at a gang bang' we couldn't help but squirm at the forced machismo of it all."

Looks like there is trouble in paradise. The preview doesn't say anything about AI, but it looked to be average at best in the new footage. Helghast were not using cover or any flanking techniques. Hopefully they can address this, because the animation/lighting/physics look great.

Damn, ME is seriously goddamn amazing.

ME looks seriously like a next gen version of Breakdown, which means I probably won't be able to play it.  I almost never get sick playing FPSers but when a game simulates every head movement like Breakdown (or ME) I make a mad dash to the dramamine.

It does look cool though.

Remember the much laughed at Gears of War gameplay clip where Fenix and a grub played peek-a-boo though? Now, I'm certainly not saying that Killzone 2 will deliver (so far, the incredible presentation has seemed really at odds with the dull gameplay), but it always seems somewhat daft to worry much about A.I. in demonstration runs.

As for uninspired level design, that hasn't seemed to hurt some of the biggest games in the genre. It will all come down to gameplay. The presentation is there, now it "just" needs to be a blast to play.

It's genuinely beautiful, in a clean fashion. It offers a very appealing alternative to the grit and grunge of damned near every other "high profile" game shown these days. It elevates usage of the first person perspective well above the walking turret/gun-on-a-stick baseline, and then takes it to yet another level by basing it around free running motion, which in itself offers an experience that is quite simply awesome. It's full of win.

hate to be "that guy" but im not seeing whats so impressive about mirrors edge, colorful graphics aside.

I like the way the colours are acting as an indicator of your path. It seems from the trailer that the game is going to be incredibly well-designed.

I was just reaching for something nice to say. I don't give a  shit if the game is monotone, if it ends up good

Yeah, that should realistically inspire stiffies among war game fanatics everywhere. Hell, I'm pretty sure I'm getting this one, actual game quality be damned. It will be my annual gift to my inner graphics and presentation savage whore.

Still haven't seen anything on the level of the thud-gurgle knife throw from Killzone 1 though, which is troubling. That was like the only truly awesome thing about the gameplay in that game.
