Mirror's Edge and new Plants vs. Zombies are scheduled for Q4

Which means January-March 2016, I believe.

Mushroomer25 · May 5, 2015

Sweet. Glad to see Mirror's Edge is still on track with development - the Super vague update at last year's E3 had me concerned.

Toki767 · May 5, 2015

So February or March for Mirror's Edge 2?

Yep.

Freedom = $1.05 · May 5, 2015

wonder if that PVZ game will be F2P.

Son Of D · May 5, 2015

When was a new Need for Speed announced?

Stone Ocean · May 5, 2015

So can we expect a blowout from E3 onwards for ME?

Eolz · May 5, 2015

Nice.
Not surprising for NFS, wonder what PvZ actually is. Garden Warfare 2?
Good schedule for Mirror's Edge too, avoiding some competition this fall.

I'm sure it will be monetized as if it's f2p even if it's not.

ElzarTheBam · May 5, 2015

Yes!

GW2 has been heavily hinted at by popcap.

Slowdive · May 5, 2015

Nice. Can't wait for Mirror's Edge 2.

Welfare · May 5, 2015

Garden Warfare 2 please

pretty please

THEF3AR · May 5, 2015

I cannot wait for PvZ as long as it is in the same vein as Garden Warfare.

anexanhume · May 5, 2015

Potential for two ME games in the same year, eh?

StrongBlackVine · May 5, 2015

In for Mirror's Edge(if it isn't butchered).

Lakitu · May 5, 2015

Fantastic. No mention of Mass Effect? So Q4 2016?

It was stated that the series would take a break in 2014 and come back this year.

It hasn't been officially announced yet though (title).

FluxWaveZ · May 5, 2015

Earlier than I would have expected for Mirror's Edge. That's great.

-MD- · May 5, 2015

Garden Warfare 2? I need.

Jimmyfenix · May 5, 2015

Lets see what they do with NFS

NumberThree · May 5, 2015

Aww yeah Mirror's Edge!

SolidSnakex · May 5, 2015

Probably not a blowout, but we should definitely see a decent amount of gameplay footage. There are a lot of questions surrounding how they're handling it, so those should be answered at E3.

Miles Quaritch · May 5, 2015

So Mirror's Edge blow out at E3?

Please don't be gun combat focused, please don't be gun combat focused, please don't be gun combat focused,

bebop242 · May 5, 2015

Awesome release window for ME. Also very curious about PvZ.

They seem to have removed guns and ramped up the melee combat based on statements and presentations, but we'll see if that holds.

ArkkAngel007 · May 5, 2015

Beaten, but I'd say we'll get the set-up and basic gameplay structure at E3, with new drops of info at most major events.

Edit: Damn, I saw ME and went to Mass Effect instead of Mirror's Edge lol

EGOMON · May 5, 2015

Hoping for a street racing NFS ala UG series but who am kidding it's going to be another open world super cars boring fest

Nirolak · May 5, 2015

Here are the rumored details about Mirror's Edge 2 from way back btw:

- Faking nothing, the E3 2013 Mirrors Edge 2 teaser was indeed entirely real time and generally unscripted, including the combat systems. Rocket Chainsaw has now seen both in motion in test environments, and they match up, graphically and mechanically.

- Target platforms are Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Mac.

- Reiterating statements from DICE, Mirrors Edge 2 is a total reboot.

- Core goal of the reboot is to create an open world, living breathing city for you to explore.

- Part of this open world environment includes a persistent, always online component. The open world is considered a multiplayer playground where other plays can drop-in/drop-out seamlessly, freely choosing their level of interaction with other players and the game world. A comparison to Journeys online feature was given as the closest example.

- Other general multiplayer components include co-op and competitive modes, such as time trials

- Rebooting the universe means new enemies. Mirrors Edge 2 will include many AI opponents, some on equal footing to Faith. Among these are the standard cannon fodder Protectors, melee combat expert Sentinels, and armoured gun wielding Enforcers. Weve been told that Faith does not have guns.

- DICE has taken on a lot of feedback from Mirrors Edge in shaping the combat system for Mirrors Edge 2. Heavy revisions have shaped the combat away from useless gunplay and one button combats (like the nut-punch) to a deeper system that emphasises speed and fluidity. Environment interaction is also a key feature of the combat system, Faith able to push, punch, and kick enemies out of the way, over ledges, tables, and railings. These physics driven interactions are combined with 1-2-3 punch/kick style combos, wall running, flips, and other martial arts moves, as well as brief grapples. Occasionally a third person take-down move will be used when an enemy is beaten, and adaptive slow-motion is used vary sparingly, mostly just to highlight cool sequences, like the E3 2013 trailer face punch. Rocket Chainsaw has seen all of these combat functions performed in real time, without scripting.

- While DICE are committed to providing a deeper combat system, melee combat is not the single focus of Mirrors Edge 2. DICE does not consider Mirrors Edge 2 as a brawler, but instead a racing game at heart. For the development team, the focus is on creating a game all about parkour: speed, fluidity, and mastery of your environment. Even these changes to the combat system are being done to prevent issues with Mirrors Edge where players would have a stretch of parkour with intermittent pace breaking stops to fight an opponent. DICE wishes to seamlessly integrate encounters and the combat system into the feeling of speed and parkour mastery, so players even while fighting are still on the move, making progress, and interacting with their environment.

- Its target release date is in 2016. Sorry kids. Fingers crossed it comes around earlier!

I have a bad feeling that they're going to fuck up both of them.

Rocketz · May 5, 2015

Day 1 for Garden Warfare 2

Acquiescence · May 5, 2015

Aww yiss at that release schedule for Mirror's Edge. One of my E3 predictions from the realistic announcements thread is already looking likely to becoming true!

Acquiescence said:
1. The Last Guardian re-reveal
2. Shenmue HD Collection
3. Gravity Rush 2
4. Ni no Kuni 2
5. Mirror's Edge 2 gameplay trailer with release date

What do you mean that's not realistic?!

1 down, 4 to go.

Lakitu · May 5, 2015

They just need to confirm Solar Fields is doing the OST.

Turkoop · May 5, 2015

Seeing how Need For Speed and Plants vs Zombies have "TBA", does this mean that Mirror's Edge will be the final title name aka reboot of the franchise?

FUNKNOWN iXi · May 5, 2015

PLEASE do not mess up Garden Warfare 2................ That game is too legit.

Hyped for Mirror's Edge.

Clipse · May 5, 2015

Garden Warfare 2 would be amazing. First game is such an underrated gem.

Also, if it is GW2, please no timed Xbox exclusivity this time.

I think so.

ElzarTheBam · May 5, 2015

Now I'm really looking forward EA's conference.

jbttwin · May 5, 2015

Yes!!!

TM94 · May 5, 2015

Man I can't believe we're getting a new Mirror's Edge.

Near tears of joy when it was announced.

StoopKid · May 5, 2015

FaintColt388301 · May 5, 2015

Hype. I recently got back in to Garden Warfare and damn, that is a good game.

It is the perfect game to balance out Bloodborne with. I love it. I wish it wasn't so grindy but it helps that I actually want to unlock things and the game is a blast to play. Would buy the sequel Day 1.

Lakitu · May 5, 2015

Looks like this E3 is going to be jam-packed for EA:

Star Wars Battlefront gameplay
Mirror's Edge gameplay
Need for Speed reveal/gameplay
Mass Effect reveal
PVZ: Garden Warfare 2 reveal
EA sports stuff

What else?
