Support NeoGAF

[Jakartalado]

My expectations are high but I will wait for GAF to comment and for reviews before I dive in

I love the first ME but if this is a big departure i might have to wait on it

Try the EA/Origin Early Access!!!!

If you have a PS4.... wait for other to play =(

Still don't know why Sony don't do the same with EA. It has an amazing value.

 

[El-Suave]

Still my most anticipated game this year along with TLG. I loved the first one so much.

 

[KevinCow]

I hope this is good.

But man, it's totally gonna flop, isn't it? There doesn't seem to be any hype for it on here.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Not sure what are they doing with these trailers but this is so much "cleaner" when you compare it to the closed beta from few weeks ago. I really hope that they improved the graphics because game doesn't look this good. Xbox One/PS4 versions are even worse.

That closed beta was a really old barebones build of the game. You shouldn't expect substantial improvements, (PC build will look much better than the console versions), but it will look and run better than in the beta. Really glad they prioritized 60fps.

 

[Perfo]

I see so many fights... I really hope there's no much of them and in case they're all almost skippable... plz

 

[Big Nikus]

The beta killed my hype. And I actually miss the simplicity of the story in the first game now.
I'll play it because I love Mirror's Edge, but I won't buy it at launch, I will wait a few months.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I will buy this. I probably won't finish it cause I know that I will burn out doing all the sidequests but I will still enjoy it.

Literally me.

 

[GeekMarty]

Can't wait!

I like that techno'ed up version of a movie trailer song.

 

[Warriorr]

I'll definitely get it day one but gosh... looking at this after playing the beta is like seeing a completly different game.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

After playing and beating the original game for the first time last month, I still play the theme song daily.

Ready for more.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Trailer didn't do shit for me, but I think the game is going to turn out well.

 

[Death Metalist]

Excited as hell for this, took too long for a sequel.

 

[Shredderi]

One wouldn't be caught lying if one were to claim that the game looks quite pretty.

 

[Zackat]

That IQ looked gooood. Will wait to see how it looks on consoles to decide where I play it.

 

[GavinUK86]

That was a really good trailer. Was the music Solar Fields?

I just hope DICE have fixed the Windows 7 issue that the beta had. I don't fancy installing 10 onto another drive just for one game.

 

[Ri'Orius]

That looked amazing, I'm super hyped, but it sounds like the beta wasn't good? What all did the beta cover: was it just multiplayer?

 

[Deleted member 80556]

There's no multiplayer. Just player made runs or trials.

The beta was fine. I was doubting I'd like it with the gameplay changes, and despite my worries, the game plays great.

My only complain were the graphics, which were obviously from a very old build.

 

[J@hranimo]

It's pretty amazing that EA is allowing Dice to finally make a new installment after all of this time. This game looks so good, I can't wait to get my hands on it next month!

 

[Seven4sses]

I've waited so long for something this beautiful to come along. Now it's a reality and I can't wait any longer.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Xbox needs to change "Jump Ahead" as it's tagline.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

I can't believe it's only two weeks away... time runs ;-) !

 

[NullPointer]

please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good please be good ...

Edit: If the open world parkour is as fun as or better than Dying Light I'll be on cloud nine.

 

[LongDongJunon]

Is the music a remix of this?:

Freedom Fighters : Two steps from hell.

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

I played the beta on PC and i am not the only one that noticed this. Even their earlier trailers look so much better compared to what we got in the beta.

I'm holding out hope that the beta was intentionally scaled down in the graphics department.

 

[Warriorr]

They shouldn't have announce that game 3 years ago. There is a serious lack of hype right now.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

The beta looked like a beta. Stop using it to judge graphics.

The movement/gameplay in the beta felt perfect, or very nearly so, and that's what ultimately matters.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

I see so many fights... I really hope there's no much of them and in case they're all almost skippable... plz

I think that's just because fights make for good trailer material. Outside of the tutorial, combat in the beta was very quick and usually skippable.

 

[F0rneus]

Been hearing mostly negative comments on the beta, and quite recently Gamespot had a quite scathing critique of that. Pretty sure the game will get hammered in reviews, and won't fare much better on the consumer side of things.

Still paid off my pre-order today. I mean, I've been waiting nearly a decade for this game. Nothing will push me away from it. Most of the negatives aren't things that affect me: I prefer open-world to levels. I like having to unlock skills with RPG-like levelling. I already enjoyed the combat in the first game.

Plus it's probably the last ME game we'll ever play. So no, I won't skip it. On topic, I thought the trailer looked absolutely gorgeous. Loving the variety I see in the city. I just can't wait to run around the place.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Gorgeous.

The beta was fantastic, and from what DICE has shown recently the full game is huge compared to the beta.

 

[Warriorr]

They just released a brand new track from the soundtrack. Done by Soalr Fields, it's beautiful:

[Feep]

I hate Origin with a fiery passion, but the beta performance on PS4 was so, so weak.

I'll have to bite the bullet on this one, I think.

Damn. Solar Fields' music does wonders for the atmosphere of Mirror's Edge. I'm looking forward to hearing more tracks in the game.

 

[Falchion]

So ready for this.

 

[thumb]

I'm pumped. Want this game to be out already.

 

[Warriorr]

A developer just released a video playing the game and you can see that in fact they removed a lot of the buildings for the beta. Just look at the the different backgrounds.

Now that's some Mirror's Edge music.

Who knows if this is a recent or an old build.

 

[Warriorr]

The HUD is completely different. Who knows if this is a recent or a very old build. I see there's a minimap. Never seen that before in this game.

The mini-map was in the beta. It appears after you destroy the antenna and you have to run away.

You can clearly see it's a more recent build than the beta one as there are more buildings and the textures are better.

Yeah you're right, which is why I amended my post.

Awwww yes.

And the thread bump reminded me that I still need to check out the launch trailer.

 

[Skilotonn]

Finally watched the trailer, oh DAMN the new areas shown here look straight sexy.

And the Solar Fields music - more people need to talk about that piece in this trailer, oh so good.

 

[Green Yoshi]

When does the review embargo end?

 

[border]

Trailer looks gorgeous!

When does this game go up on EA Access? Shouldn't it be like, today?

 

[Kinsei]

Eh, still not selling me on the game. At least I still have the original.

 

[SolidSnakex]

When does the review embargo end?

Keep an eye here and they'll update with a countdown whenever the embargo is known

[border]

Are they offering a free copy of Mirror's Edge 360 to people who pre-order? It's backwards compatible on Xbox One.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Will maybe look into the game this thursday with ea access.

I hope they improved a lot of the technical issues.
