First gameplay trailer for Mirror's Edge released

Thought I'd repost my story from Neoseeker here. You should check this trailer, it is pretty sweet.

A video of some gameplay from the upcoming Mirror's Edge game from Digital Illusions CE (DICE) was released today at a Sony press conference in London....

BTW: You can watch a larger version of the video if you click on the source, or click on the share button when the video is playing.




The game looks very impressive, in this humble gamer's opinion.

The best thing about this game is that it features a semi-original concept. Which is very good. If this was another horror FPS surivial game, or WW2 RTS game, I'd probably be tempted to staple my feet to the ground out of boredom. Kudos to DICE for trying something different with this game, as well as with their upcoming Battlefield Heroes. From this video, it looks like a large portion of the game is running across the top of roof tops... which is simple idea, but a terrific one, for a game.

Mirror's Edge is coming in late 2008 for the three pillars of next-gen gaming: the Xbox 360, the PS3, and yes, the PC.

Just imagining running Mirror's Edge on my home PC with either VR920 glasses, or a DLP projector projecting a eight foot screen, is making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Good times to be had.

    Wow this game looks a lot better then I thought. And the environment is very refreshing.

    This game is looking great, and I'm liking the idea of roof jumping (I just hope that this area of the game isn't repetitive). Watching the first half of that video reminds me of Parkour (but extreme!).

    I would also like to see what happens if you fall off a building..

    Dead Space, Mass Effect 2, Battlefield: BC and now this? Wow EA you're finally becoming an awesome company with original ideas for once instead of churning out the Maddens every year.

    That all looked so real. Some of the best details and graphics, if not the best so far on the 360. I can't wait to actually play this.

    Oh hell yeah. This game has got to deliver. And, shockingly, there's a female protagionist!

    I think there's a female and male protagonist. This looks really good in my opinion, a lot better than I expected.

    I wonder if you get to explore all the environment or just the rooftops though?

    So, my apologies, but what is this game about?

      It takes place in the future, where everything is monitored by the government and the only way to send communication between resistance factions is to get freerunners to carry the information by hand.

    That looks really cool... It's slightly realistic as well.
