Sadly Enough, Mirrors Edge Will Not Be In 1080p

Linkin Park Fan | May 10, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Mirrors Edge stunned a lot of people when the first trailer was released. It showed off amazing graphics with a very refreashing cityscape. But sadly DICE confirms that the game will not be in 1080p but will my running at a minimum of 720p. Now this is news for the PS3 version and there was no comments on what the 360 version will run on.
Mirror's Edge developer DICE Studio has revealed that the PS3 version of the upcoming Parkour-inspired FPS won't be displayed in 1080p resolution.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at Sony's recent PlayStation Day event in London, DICE's general manager Sean Decker said that while gamers can expect "crisp, clear texture resolutions" in certain situations both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game will be displayed in the high definition minimum of 720p.

While we weren't expecting the PS3 version of Mirror's Edge to end up in 1080p, we had harboured some hope that the game, which looks like it will end up being a graphical showcase for the system (check the brand new gameplay trailer out), might end up displaying in the maximum resolution Sony's console can handle. A number of high profile retail PS3 games have been developed in 1080p, including Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Virtua Tennis 3, and we want to see more.

Decker said: "It's more about in certain situations you're going to see very crisp, clear texture resolutions there and, again, this is more for the tech-file, somebody like me who's sitting up there and looking at every single little detail and saying, OK what's the difference between this one and this one, putting them side by side."

    Is this any surprise i mean look at the visuals... If any game was forced to 720p this would be the game.

    Hardly any console games out right now render at 1080p natively. There's not much difference when upscaling a 720p game to 1080p anyway. As long as the gameplay turns out as hot as the visuals and framerate is kept smooth, this game pretty much has it in the bag.

    Ye, 720-1080p is only gives the game somewhat of an edge. The actual game play is the most important thing.

    Game isn't THAT good looking....I watched it on my 1080p TV, and while the graphics were pretty good, it had a sort of 'sterile' look to it, like everything was very clean, like a lab....Inordinate amount of white in it...

    Still, it does look pretty good, I'll be sure to try the demo, if there IS one >_>

      Im going to have to disagree with you there. This game looks amazing. It also kind of reminds of FP assassins creed. And I love the color scheme. There are just way too many damn dark and dreary games out there and this is very refreashing vibrent colors.

        Two words Heavy Rain. That game is tons better than this games graphics.

        And i agree with Tallteen and iLL.

    I agree with you, tallteen. I'm don't see why everyone has been so eager to praise this game/trailer. The light sourcing is what makes it look so good, but I don't see whats so breathtaking about it. Though its probably because I don't know a thing about the actual game and story.
