Awesome 2D Mirror’s Edge Flash Game

by Dan Landis on November 13, 2008

Electronic Arts has apparently teamed up with Brad Borne (of Borne Games) to create a flash version of the just-released Mirror’s Edge. The beta is playable now online, and even though it’s essentially just a repeating level, it’s a nice taste of what the full release may be when it lauches in “a week or two”. Read more…

EA & DICE Release Launch Trailer for Mirror’s Edge

by Demi Adejuyigbe on November 6, 2008

If you weren’t convinced that Mirror’s Edge is a worthy GOTY contender before, perhaps the newest trailer from EA and DICE will convince you otherwise.

The video you see above is EA’s official Mirror’s Edge launch trailer, with smoother transitions and more cop ass-kicking than before. After playing the demo and the consequent time-trial, I’m thoroughly convinced that this game has serious GOTY potential, even with it’s lack of a multiplayer mode. My favorite part of this trailer is probably a tie between the rope-to-rope transfer and the cop crotch kick. What can I say, I’m a sucker for crotch kicks.

Mirror’s Edge Has Gone Gold

by Chelsea Thompson on November 6, 2008

Mirror’s Edge, one of the most highly anticipated titles from EA this year, has officially gone gold. If you haven’t already, I recommend giving the demo a spin. It has some tough competition this season with all the triple-A titles being put out, but I think it offers enough of a new, unique experience to hold its own in sales. Mirror’s Edge will be hitting shelves next week, so prepare yourself for some fast-paced, freerunning action.

For the press release, hit the jump.

Mirror’s Edge: Demo Impressions

by Chelsea Thompson on November 1, 2008

Yes, I know the demo was released on PSN yesterday. However I have a 360 and I had to feverishly wait for the demo to go up today. Ever since I saw the first videos for this, I’ve been excited to get my hands on it. I didn’t have a chance to at PAX since the crowd was so large, but being able to watch someone else play the demo on an HD screen was a pretty cool experience.

So after months of anticipation, the moment of truth: Does the demo live up to the high-flying hype of this game? Read more…

EA has got a little something for your Halloween goody bag — when you’ll get it depends on which console you own.

PlayStation 3 owners will get a head start on their Halloween treat fest with an opportunity to download Mirror’s Edge on October 30th, while the Xbox 360 “Faith”ful will get their shot at the first person rooftop runner October 31st. Time Trial mode will also be available on both versions of the demo for those who pre-ordered the game.

A bag full of chocolate sounds and a screen full of virtual acrobatics — sounds good to me. Hit the jump for the full press release. Read more…

In a recent interview with Ausgamers, Owen O’Brien, Senior Producer of Mirror’s Edge, has revealed that the game is the first in a trilogy of titles. “The story we’re telling at the moment is kind of a trilogy, a three-story arc,” O’Brien stated. He also hinted at a series beyond these first three games: “I think there’s a lot of scope to take the story in different directions, or maybe tell someone else’s story.”

Not content with more of the same, O’Brien also showed interest in supplying gamers with a level editor for Mirror’s Edge 2- saying one would be “something we’re probably going to look out for the sequel.”

So, what do you say? EA milking a franchise, or just a genuine attempt at pleasing gamers? Let us know in the comments.

Fall 2008 Lineup: R² Breakdown

by Roly Reyes on October 7, 2008

Fall is fast approaching, and your bank balance will soon be dropping faster than the leaves on the tree outside your window. Naturally, you may not be able to decide for yourself which of the plethora of games to splurge your life’s savings on, and that’s where I come in.

Think of me as your personal assistant — ready to passively (and aggressively) project my thoughts and opinions onto you. Thank me later. Read more…

Hands-On: Mirror’s Edge Time Trial Mode

by Andrew Podolsky on October 7, 2008

Playing a recent demo of Mirror’s Edge, I had been trying to shave a few extra seconds off of my time trial run, and after all the obvious routes were exploited, I passed along the controller. I watched mouth agape as, instead of directing Faith to run up the stairs like a normal person, the journalist next to me sent her careening off a nearby wall and up over the guardrail, all ninja-like. Is this an example of practice-makes-perfect, or a new kind of exploit? Read more…

Sony Scores Exclusive DLC for Mirror’s Edge

by Dan Landis on September 2, 2008

PS3 finally gets some exclusive DLC TLC.  Sony has entered into an “exclusive marketing agreement” with Mirror’s Edge publisher and evil overlords Electronic Arts to bring downloadable content to the title via PSN.  How’d they manage that without the exorbitantly deep pockets of Microsoft?

Sony has also gone on record to squelch rumors that Mirror’s Edge would be a timed exclusive, stating that the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions would all release on the same day. Read more…

Rumour: Mirror’s Edge PS3 Timed Exclusive

by Patrick Steen on August 23, 2008

We don’t believe you David Reeves. It would be kind of us to say that much of what you spout is exagerated, but now you, Mr SCEE boss, have more “news” for us. DICE’s promising first person adventure game, Mirror’s Edge, will be a timed PS3 exclusive. Read more…

Straight out of Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig comes three minutes of Mirror’s Edge in-game footage. All the previous video has been above ground, featuring a bright cityscape, as you jump from building to building.

The new footage takes us inside of what appears to be an underground plant of some sort, and offers a stark contrast to the sunny rooftop footage shown at E3. Have at the video after the jump. Read more…

Mirror’s Edge Created In Portal Engine

by Roly Reyes on August 4, 2008

Remember the rooftop stage from Mirror’s Edge? It was first shown in the initial gameplay trailer as well as being prominently featured in the E3 08 trailer and demonstrations to the press. Well, Portal modder EvilWeevil has taken it upon himself to bring that stage to life in Portal. Read more…

Several scans (six if you’re counting) of the Mirror’s Edge comic book surfaced on the web today, and it appears I wasn’t too far off when I created the graphic above last week for visual purposes.

I am a little disappointed to be honest. You would think that a game edgy enough to go first person where many would have gone third, would have carried the theme into the comic. Come on guys! A first person comic would have been brilliant marketing! Oh well.

The real cover and 5 inside page scans are available after the jump. Read more…

E3 08 Hands-On Preview: Mirror’s Edge

by Rangebar Merani on July 22, 2008

Mirror’s Edge was easily one of the most highly profiled games by EA at this year’s E3, and it rightly deserved to be.

First-person action that plays like a third-person game, Mirror’s Edge is played through the eyes of Faith, the game’s beautiful heroin and a runner, who’s in charge of relaying important information from one party to another without be caught by the “po-po”, or the law enforcement for those who aren’t familiar with street slang.

The level that was shown at the EA press conference, and in Sony’s demo room, was a massive and brightly lit realistic city setting, in which you were mainly jumping from one rooftop to another (ninja-style), trying to keep your momentum going as best as you could. Read more…
