Mirrors Edge 2

I hope that the second one isn't a sewer and ventilation duct simulator like the first one.

I really didn't gel with the first one, the levels where you were outside were pretty good, because there was free running. Most of the game is spend planting your face into wall after wall or rail after rail.

Guns were pointless, combat was pointless, story was pointless.

I like the aesthetic of ME, the soundtrack, the premise but the game I felt was pretty underwhelming.
 
Rihanna Pratchett has stated that she's not involved with this, nor is any of the team from the first game. Whether by team she means the writing team, or overall dev team, I don't know.
 
I'm not too opposed to that, the writing wasn't great in the first game and the interviews show that the devs seem to have a good understanding.

I think it was more there was a disconnect between what actually happened/was possible ingame and the writing, TR showed a bit better gelling of that if it was a bit sprawled out - I think in the long run she could do pretty well with games.
 
OP change the thread title to Mirrors Edge: Catalyst

EA winked at it last night with a teaser tweet, but Mirror's Edge: Catalyst has now been officially announced.
The Mirror's Edge website has been updated with new information from Sara Jansson, the new game's senior producer. According to her post, DICE aren't treating Catalyst as a sequel; rather, they see it as an entirely new take—re-evaluating every one of the first game's systems.

I liked the idea of ME when it first came a runner whatya mcallit but after I tried it it sorta turned from like to not like as it wasnt just a puzzle game like portal but had combat elements which OK portal had but was more use a gun method to get around it. I thought ME was purely about running from point to point and the only thing to do was run and jump and not worry about ppl with guns etc.

Ah well others liked it but I didn't as much as I hoped I would. Gave up after the first ppl showed up in it iirc.
 
Yeah, it's not a new vid. Just thought it belonged in the thread :)

I think it looks massively better than the original, though it could do with a bit more polish here and there. It is pre-alpha footage though.
