While most of us, probably play it no guns style, it was pretty brotastic. eg. Old cop pulls gun out, Faith snatches it and mentions the next time she kills him. She squeezes the local informant for information. Mirror's Edge wasn't some point and click adventure game about the meaning of life.

Might? Id bet a lot of money that it will and there will be multiplayer... No way would a game like this be xbone exclusive without some kind of multiplayer/cloud features being tacked on.
I hope the game opens up a bit and the levels have more of a sandbox feel ala the first few levels of crysis 1.
It's just dumb. Like having a spin-off Halo RTS and making it 360 exclusive.

There's a few factors that make me think it is:
- There have been rumors for a while of MS going after third party exclusives.
- MS seem to be pretty cosy with EA at the moment. Having a spotlight at the reveal. The first footage we seen from the platform were EA games.
- EA have been a strong proponent for blocking used games, recently dropped their method likely due to MS taking care of it themselves, which would've made EA very happy.
- MS seem to be extremely confident with their E3 conference regarding games.
- Amazon listing.

Even if ME seems focused on motion, I doubt a full kinect integration would work. Swing your arms to run, jump and duck for real ? It could be a cool bonus mode, but most gamers wouldn't have the stamina to play more than 30 minutes at a time. (there's also the problem of fast turning, wall run etc).
There would probably be regular controls in there, with kinect as an option or for minor features. After all, if MS were funding such an exclusive, it would be to seduce the vocal "core" gamers who have been asking for a sequel.
Of course, all of that is assuming ME2 is a real thing and part of the EA-MS parternship (which sounds more and more plausible).
It's actually not surprising at all. People at EA said numerous times that they haven't forgotten the IP and that they want to bring it back. Dice devs gave hints as well and according to rumors they have been experimenting with the sequel for years.
I´m not going to buy it if it´s not. Although i absolutely loved the first one.
It's not going to sell a lot anyway. So EA might as well just take that bag of money from MS. It's really the perfect candidate for a next-gen console exclusive.

Does it matter if DICE doesn't like it if MS insists on it? Hope you're right though.

Pleaaaaase be on PS4 and PC.
Foreshadowing now, are we?
If this generation is any indication I'll probably end up with all the next-gen consoles anyway so ultimately it doesn't really matter that much.

Dudebros will buy the console regardless. What they want to do is convince the "core" and they'll fall for this too.
I'd rather skip this if it were Xbone exclusive.
Cause with games like this you get the core gamers. Just watch all the MS trolling in here, core wants this game. Bad. And they don't want it on X1 but it's happening and they're gonna have to buy an X1.

i agree with this. i am so excited because this is one of the sequels i've been begging for.
but i fear it will be xbone exclusive and i fear they will dumb down the mechanics.
announce a PC version and that you can play through the whole game without firing a gun and i'll be content
I wouldn't get my knickers in a twist over 'exclusives' in the early days of a generation.
If the passing gen was anything to go by, third party games from big publishers, announced as exclusives, wind up being multiplatform at one point or another. With rare exceptions.
Depending on the colour of Microsoft's platform overall, I'll see if I'll wait on this or not.

I really hope that this game can avoid being ruined by EA. The worst parts of the original were the story and the guns, sadly knowing EA those are the parts they will try to expand.
That feeling of freedom while you smoothly, swiftly navigate rooftops being punctured by a sudden police ambush and subsequent desperate escape, that's what the game is about. It had such a unique vibe, relaxing yet exhilarating.. Please don't destroy that by adding more guns and more NPCs.

I'm not gonna have any expectations on this. EA has done to much wrong the last years for me to feel excited about this right now. They're welcome to prove me wrong, but until they have done that I'm going to expect them to screw this game with either DRM, Kinect, DLC or guns.

Nobody's gonna buy a console for Mirror's Edge. The people who want the game will just be annoyed for a while as they wait for the inevitable ports.

EA: Sony, if you don't like used game DRM, we'll just go to Xbox. Bye.
Lol why wouldn't we want it on Xbone? What the majority don't want is some dumbass kinect-only exclusive ME2. Simple as that. This game should be on all platforms for mass accessibility.

Please be a multiplatform game!!! pleeeeeeeeeeease
Nope. Sooner or later, the exclusivity contract is going to expire.
Well, i´m not going to support Microsofts anti consumer policies regardless of the games released on this platform.
Not if they actually fund development.
This. I don't see how EA won't be wanting this on Origins lol

I'm having a difficult time containing my excitement.
Didnt they publish Ninja Gaiden 2? Look what happened. Also I believe Sony funded LA Noire. So this means nothing

Btw which indications are there that it's a Xbox one exclusive?

Holy shit! It's really gonna happen!
I hope they don't screw it up somehow :/

With EA it's likely it'll end up on PC at the very least. They did the same with Mass Effect and this comments hints as much for another rumored EA moneyhat.
