This is not a sequel, this is not Mirror's Edge 2. We have landed on a vision that honors the first game — pushing the boundaries of first person movement and diving deeper into the story behind our heroine Faith — but also brings a lot of great new, interesting gameplay and features to the experience for our players.

my main point of concern when they talked about it, uh, 2 years ago now, is turning it into an open world game. if that stuck. but as long as there's a speedrun mode, whatever.

Post by: Rufus on June 09, 2015, 01:13:35 PM: All they need to do for a true sequel (this is where I wave a magic wand) is to build it so you don't need the red highlights to guide you through. That, and no guns.

This seems perfect for VR, maybe they're stalling to see who wins?

Post by: Yulwei on June 09, 2015, 01:25:50 PM: Here's to hoping they completely remove the gunplay this time around

Mirror's Edge was one of the most beautiful games of last gen. I want to play this just for the visuals alone.

Post by: Rahxephon91 on June 09, 2015, 06:58:37 PM: So it's a new game that happens to be a reboot right?

I don't give a fuck about the story of Mirror's Edge. I just wanted new scenarios and designs for the ME gameplay.

This will still be that right? Just not a retread of the last game right?

Come on, the story and characters were never the important part of the game anyway.

Post by: Positive Touch on June 09, 2015, 08:35:47 PM: yeah who gives a fuck that it's a reboot and not a sequel? it still means new levels and some new mechanics either way.
Title: Re: E3 is saved: Mirror's Edge is back
Post by: brob on June 09, 2015, 08:39:49 PM: story in the first game is asinine. If they retool the story so it's actually about being a courier delivering packages on some sneakernet shit it's already a million times better than the nonsense political conspiracy soup plot the first game had.

Post by: El Babua on June 09, 2015, 08:43:05 PM: IDC about story.

Give me more open level design and challenge maps. Hoping all the good level designers at DICE have been working on this.

Probably.

I would be fine with it being a one-off thing too if it meant that EA was treating it as a FIFA pack funded vanity project instead of contorting it in an (almost certainly doomed) attempt to get mainstream success.

Mirror's Edge > Fallout 4

No lies detected. The only way Fallout 4 could be good is if they went back to doing the Pen and Paper roleplaying of the first three Fallouts (and no, I'm not including Fallout 3 in that before you hurr hurr FO3 me. I mean FO1, 2, and Tactics). Otherwise it's going to be an Elderscrolls mod which means :trash .

This. So long as I get refined Parkour, I can not give a damn about the reboot. Give me a sandbox to Parkour in and I'm so there.

#ACTUALLY the story had potential. prior to release the story was that you played a courier delivering sneakernet packages to get around the total surveillance state. Unfortunately the first mission in the game discards the courier thing, and was about saving your sister from being framed for murdering the mayor just before an upcoming election (the murder was also being used to justify further police state expansions)

I think a neat story can be made from the baseline Mirror's Edge has. I don't think DICE is going to deliver that though.
