Mirror's Edge demo coming Oct 30 PSN/Oct 31 XboxLive
- Thread starter SolidSnakex
- Start date
There shouldn't be any difference in distance and angle. I took those pics as soon as the game's tutorial started and you can't move your character during that time. You can only change the game's camera and that's what I did to take those pictures.Metalmurphy said:
As Psychotext pointed out, the zoomed in comparison pics show that the 360 ver does have some sort of AA.
Take a look at these pics and you'll see the 360 version look quite a bit cleaner than the ps3 version. Now, the 360 version doesn't always look that clean and it does have jaggies but it's less pronounced than the ps3 version.

Odd how the sky isn't blue at the top of the 360 version... it's grey. Pollution in 360 version confirmed! :lol

I will ask again but does anyone have an extra PS3 code? I'd like to give this time trial a whirl...
Game is awesome after a few more demo plays, I love it. PS3 all the way.

Looking "cleaner" doesn't mean it has AA. Count the steps. It's the same number of steps.mintylurb said:
Oh and btw, I'm not saying it doesn't look better, it clearly does. I just think neither is using AA.

so anyone else think this game controls smooth and is very well paced? The game is beautiful, kinda reminds me of Portal.

Do you have to press a button to grab the poles you jump onto? there was this long jump onto pole that took me many man tries and i mashed buttons and finally caught on one..

THey also discuss the tearing on PS3 and the slightly lower FPS on occasion.
I've played them both on my Samsung 1080p - and it was pretty evident.
That said - it's not a nightmarishly unplayable difference. Quite the contrary - just noticeable.

The demo blew me away. I love how fluid it feels once you get a good run going. Of course, once you get good at it, the demo portion is like 5 minutes. Still, it was really cool and very cinematic. I love the sense of weight and momentum Faith's moves have. I will definitely pick this up at some point.

looks quite amazing to me. there is a scene during the tutorial where celeste looks a little odd due to the self-shadowing technique and how her face is shaded, but aside from that the details look great and i think the modeling is spot on. the enemies dont seem to have as much attention to detial though.
I only just realize that was an ingame model and not some real model from E3 or something. :lol

The demo does a great job of leaving you wanting more, bordering on too short perhaps. I had to fight the impulse to explore and screw up the flow of the game, but once I did, I enjoyed it.

SD defense force, woo woo!
I'm actually quite pissed that this game is so good. I was hoping there wouldn't be another must-buy title for me so soon
AND skate. 2 comes out in January? Fuck you, EA. Good thing I bought another 20 shares of ERTS at your lows this week. Call it a "gamers hedge"

Thanks for the links Pana, you could tell the game used some different lighting engine to make lights bounce off surfaces, it makes a huge difference in realism.
Similar lighting techniques will probably start spreading (the new splinter cell is said to be using something similar) a huge step forward towards photorealism.
Besides AA, the game could also use some PGR style motion blur, hope it's an option on pc.

The lighting is pretty standard. Any reasonable modelling package with a renderer can achieve what Mirror's Edge does. Because it is all baked into textures they can do essentially anything they want. Thing is there is a massive memory overhead by keeping all those .hdr lightmaps in memory. They also suffer in the dynamic lighting department by going this route. They are not able to move the sun or do dynamic time of day or dynamic environmental shadows because it would require insane amounts of baked in textures.
However, for the look they were going for and the game they built they used the exact right solution. Art Direction wise, using lots of white buildings with pops of colour actually makes the lighting look better than if the scene were a mishmash of colours.

You have a Mcaine Avatar and you bullshit just like him......sad! Anyway, over on those "other" forums, they say, or rather Grandmaster and his magical machine - say that there is screen tear in both, the ps3 is more noticable in the opening fly by, and the 360 happens during the game play. He is very unwilling to admit that the 360 might actually be worse, considering that all that have played both say that the 360 version may have slightly less jaggies, but does drop frames during game play, but you know......it's his "Expert" opinion - or the tools don't lie.....
Either way...... I've played both, seen'em with my own eyes, and the ps3 is visually more appealing. The 360 does have slight stutter in some scenes....but Grandmaster states that that is just cause the PS3 version tears more!.........."sigh"
Just play the fuckin games people!!!
