Crap like this (and that Alyx edit I saw a time ago) just prove why gaming needs characters like Faith and Alyx in the first place. Every woman rendered into a videogame shouldn't have to be some lonely nerd Lara Croft fantasy.

Jeez, the more I see of this game and Saints Row 2, the less likely I am to push them to '09.
I need this day one, looks so gorgeous.

Can't wait for Mirror's Edge, already pre-ordered it.
Me too, in fact, it still kind of looks like art.

I'm getting more and more interested.
just listened to the theme song, and wow is it good. has to be one of my favorite theme songs from any video game. i only wish that it wasnt called "still alive", only because people will be bitching about portal or something.
anime representation? i dont know about you but there are plenty of asian women with big eyes like that. if anything the makeup on the original eyes only make her fit the stereotype even more. only thing i dont like about the eyes is that it makes her look scared instead of fierce, at least in that picture.

$20 says she was originally intended to be the main character.

How you figure? You know the main character wasn't originally intended to look the way she does. It was said in the last issue of EGM that Faith was a "happy accident" that started out as a multiplayer character. Therefore, we all know how the original main character was intended to look, and I can assure you that Faith's wasn't it.Dartastic said:$20 says you're wrong.
I bet you that if this blond character wasn't intended as the main character, it was a character that looked similar to her. That's just the way it works, man.
Ok that is completely stupid on multiple levels, right there. Why did they have to do that?big_z said:
she went from korean to japanese with a hint of anime thrown in.... im surprised her clothes didnt get reduced as well.
Edit: Ok I see, it's just a fan touch up. For a second I thought it was the real Japanese version.

You can get a decent quality mp3 of the theme song. Two ways to do it. Not sure of the legalities of it though, as in if I'm allowed to tell you how.

I played this at PAX. The game kind of feels like a racer, so you can get a lot of replay value just from trying to get the perfect run (the ghost mode will capitalize on this). The game flows well and it conveys a sense of urgency and direction, which is consistent with the spirit of Parkour. And more importantly, it accomplishes this without the need for immersion breaking devices such as timers or arrows.Always-honest said:
Overall, it makes Assassin's Creed feel slow and clumsy in comparison and I think it will even give the Prince a run for his money.

yeah, it will be great, but actually i have the same sentiment with racers. i never finish those games, though i play them to bits at first.
anyway, so far it looks like a must buy for me.

for anyone interested in the song, it's been released on youtube with a video. Didn't know there were vocals either.

Unfortunately, when the industry is finally leaning towards a better conceived character (still like a clichè superhero kind of characterization, but at least smaller breasts and a more mature face), the "fans" are there, screaming for
1- bigger tits
2- innocent eyes
3- i'll-suck-your-socks-off kind of lips.
This is really ridiculous.

EA already develop a mobile version of Mirror's Edge - but they wait with the announcement, because they want to see how console version sells next month.

Holyyyyy hell DICE thank you for a game that looks so insanely original and fun I cannot wait to get my hands on the controller.
TGS impressions (360)
Was disappointed somewhat, it didn't play as smooth or swiftly as the trailers had made it out to be. I didn't like the lack of a running option, gave me no sense of pace and the build up to the jumps weren't too thrilling. Furthermore I found jumping using the left bumper to be unsatisfying, felt unnatural. The platforming aspects were fairly good though, just didn't blow me away. I fear the gameplay will be limited even if in different environments. I'm sure that I would enjoy the game a whole lot more given more time to adapt to the controls so i'm not entirely negative.

well if it was the first time playing the game, don't expect it to be smooth. When you get the hang of the game that's when it really starts coming together. Also, there is no running option since your always running. The more you go without messing up, the more momentum you get which makes you run faster. I don't know about the 360 version, but the controls were fine when I played the ps3 version. This is the type of game that gets better as you start getting better at itStocka said:
