It'd be depressing if you were an employee of any dev here.
Haha true. Unless you're from CD Projekt. Although i don't think there is anyone from there here.

Decent game, I enjoyed it.

I hope another Alice game is also on that list, EA

Why even bother addressing the matter? It's like twisting the knife each time.
And of course add F2P hooks to it!

Right below Shadows of the Damned 2.
When are devs going to learn that the only way to make FPSes without competitive multiplayer sell well (and no, time trials don't count) is to give them campaigns twelve hours or more in length, rather than three and a half, and provide the players with lots of varying things to do? There's a reason Bioshock and Fallout have done well this gen, and Mirror's Edge and Bulletstorm have not.
I'm all for games without competitive multiplayer (love me some co-op glee), but they won't sell unless they're genuinely substantial games. To this day, Mirror's Edge remains one of the few game purchases I genuinely regret, because I paid $50 for it and didn't get anywhere near $50 worth. I got $10 worth of game.
Then again, DICE has never been good at releasing substantial games. They always come with a small number of maps and multiplayer modes, and those that come with campaigns don't last more than five or six hours at the very most.

And I loved BC1 more than BC2.

I really need to buy BC1, is the PS3 community still active? Port Valdez, Arica Harbor and Atacama desert were awesome maps...amazing destruction too!

It better be ME was a great game.
Though I hope they don't try to ruin it by forcing some shitty MP, and changing it to a heavy gun focus.

Obviously the right direction to take the series.

Look at what they did to Syndicate, then look at Dead Space 3. Also glance at Ultima and about a billion other things. I'm not really looking forward to press releases telling me about Faith not running away anymore as she is taking the fight to the enemy. They'll fix the gunplay and sometimes you get to jump maybe?
Like Brink but with more white.

I really dont know why you guys want a sequel so much. If they ever make another one me and you both know its going to be a full fledged FPS with some parkour elements in it.

More like "Mirror's Edge 2? Pfft! We got other things to do!"
Loathe you, EA! Loathe!

I'm sure its on someone's coffee stained napkin.
I'd play a Mirrors Edge TPS. Set in that clean type of environment. More focus on platforming (say Tomb raider style and not Uncharted). Could be fun.First screen:

Except it will have to sell at least 5 million copies right? Focus will be on FPS, with light emphasis on platforming.

If this ever happens, it'll either be a drastic departure from the original or will be a DD release. The original just didn't have enough shootbang.
It was a quite decent iPad, iPhone game actually. Surprised that didn't get a sequel, honestly, since it seems must more feasible than another AAA ME.

I thought they needed games that are going to sell 5 million units?

Story ended perfectly in Madness Returns (so heartbreaking), doesn't really need a sequel.
The only reason I want a Mirror's Edge sequel is so they can expand on the original idea of the carrier bags being important, and having other runners alongside in a cool co-op way for a proper parkour chase. Less about some evil company and guns (did whole game without picking up one). The chase sequences were the best, like the ninjas that give chase after you.

Just stop reminding me there is no sequel yet. It's bad enough I have to see the case everyday

Fuck off EA. You've been stringing us along with promises for years, by the time anything actually happens, I probably won't care anymore. At this point, I think our best hope is for a separate studio to make a spiritual sequel.

It's not so much that it needs a sequel as that I want another trip to Alice's twisted and deranged Wonderland :/

Yes, it felt like they absolutely nailed the look and feel of the game. The sound effects, level design, colour scheme, animations, motion blur, first-person camera, everything blended together well to immerse the player. I hope they don't add a third-person camera and make the shooting mechanics more prominent in the name of accessibility. That would make me completely lose interest in the sequel. I can't believe they got it right the first time except the story and pitiful combat mechanics. I hope they omit both in the sequel, I'd be fine with that.

I was playing the Battlefield 3 sp campaign recently, and I totally noticed little hints of Mirror's Edge here and there. e.g. The look of the rooftops in the first level, the ultra vivid orange paint of the building interior during the level where you play as the Russian. Nummers.

The obvious direction to go is more running and less gunning; sadly EA and DICE don't know what they're doing so this will be a crapshoot if it ever gets greenlit.

Yep. I'd love to see a new Mirror's Edge on the next round of consoles.
I'm just glad they aren't saying they aren't sure if we'll get a sequel. For all the flack it gets, Mirror's Edge had some really fun moments; probably my biggest gripe though were the hundreds of pace-killing pipes you had to climb.
If they could fix some of the areas where Mirror's Edge went wrong, it could be an incredible game.

So, take your bets:
Online first person on-foot racing or first person shooter deathmatch?

How could ME1 have lost any money though? It was a game that had running/jumping mechanics in first person set in a world with extremely simple and basic assets, along with a couple of enemy models and weapon models -- and hardly anything else.
Wouldn't it be possible for a person with lots of programming/modelling knowledge to make that game in a few weeks?
Not bashing the game, cause I like it, but it released at 60$ or so, and I'm pretty sure it could have been made by an indie developer in a few weeks/months with an engine ready. And 60$ games obviously should have considerably more content. (If it really only lasts for less than 5 hours as implied in this thread somewhere. Haven't played through it.)
