No...No I'm not. Its hard to explain...but if I had Infinite resources and Protege talent in the creation of video games from the ground up (In all its aspects) this game is what I would of made. Everything is just....wow.

It---for one reason or another---strikes me at my core.

Don't really like how all the objectives are colored red. Maybe there are difficulties where you can... turn that shit off?

I remember reading about this game a few months ago. Seems to look exactly the same, but it looks promising. I hope it goes well, if they add more to it, I'd definitely buy it.

Why would you want it off? The red colored areas is the suggested path, you can take a dferent path if you really wanted to.

Because... if I see a suggested path I'm not going to say to myself, "Hm, the staircase is one way up, but I think I'm going to chance scaling the outterside of the building using this rubber band and these paperclips."

Yes, my inner-monologue is totally MacGyver.

Fixed.

In my opinion, this game needs an HDR makeover. The lighting strikes me as primitive.

it looks meh... sorta o a weird concept buts sounds fun.
@Flea925: im not sure i think they said somethign about a achievement (you cant fight anyone in the game)

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 8:23 am

You can fight people in the game.

TomClancey · Post by **TomClancey** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 9:55 am

I'm pretty sure it's PC/PS3/360, but I could be wrong. Achievements have nothing to do with what platform it's on.

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 9:56 am

The achievement was to beat the game without firing a single bullet.

I like the lighting, very similar to TF2.

I hate "Runner vision" with it's paths right before you, what's the point of a parkour/freerun game if it limits paths?

i haven't seen the video yet, the pc i'm on can't play it well enough to do it justice, but i've been keeping my eye on this one. what i'm hoping for is the free running aspect to play well with at least some sort of sandbox gameplay. that, and free running + gunplay sounds promising, like what the matrix game did with guns + slow-mo. i'd say more, but i'll watch the video first.

I know I have too much time when I start making HL2 maps for no reason. Sigh,

It's clickable, yo!

You can't. To be perfectly honest, the video gaming industry needs more April Ryans and fewer Duke Nukems, and we all know it.

No free roaming, but the levels are supposed to have the numerous paths shebang.

jordanimal wrote:Hmm, seems like a free running game. This looks like a rental game IMO. I wouldn't want to buy that. Doesn't look long enough. Also a sort of follow the red brick road.. No real choice.

Jordan wrote:But in all seriousness it doesn't really seem like you have that much control over the path you take at all. I like watching free running, and this game makes it seem like you're really just watching more than anything else.

My understanding of Mirror's Edge is that, in the final game, levels will have different ways of getting there, but that runner's vision is to help along players who don't know where to go next by showing them the (as someone else said) "suggested path", as I understand it, if the game thinks they're stuck, not immediately.

However, even if the game is unipath and utterly linear, then it can still be good. Think Portal... the game was basically 19 linear puzzles in a row, and it was still one of the best games of '08 and possessed plenty of variety.

Eh? Not really... TF2's art style is cartoony. Mirror's Edge is bright, utopian (even if the game's world isn't really utopian) – clean, bright, but lacking in green (to reinforce the city's sterile atmosphere) or non-primary colors (to reinforce the uniformity ideas of the 'evil' government). Also, apparently, as Faith loses health, her vision desaturates, making the city look monolithic.

You cannot pull off Ventrilo Harassment as easily as April Ryan

Lighting is the same as art style?

Man, I must be out of touch with games.
