Mirror's Edge: Catalyst - new previews/videos - Closed Beta begins April 22-26th

I signed up minutes after the closed beta form went up, I sure hope I get a code. I'll die without one, most anticipated game right now.

Am I supposed to get an email about the Closed Beta today or tomorrow?

From my underdstanding frontsrunners (EA newsletter scubscribers) who were chosen, get their codes today and then everyone else who was chosen to be in the closed beta will get theirs tomorrow.

Based on amount of codes that are out there already i really don't know why it is not Open Beta.

Yay! :D It's 13GB on PC.
 
Just got a code on Twitter for PS4.
I'll be posting impressions from that version in a few hours (6 or 7 depending on the work flow today) and some screens.


@ph1l25 on Twitter sent me a DM, just ask and he'll hook you up!

He said no randoms though. Did you know this person beforehand? Been trying to get a PS4 code, not sure he'll give one to someone who just asked. =/

Ugh, and Direct Messages are to follower-followers. :/

Why can't EA just tell folks they've sent the e-mails out so we know if we got the early access or not? I'm dying to play the game, EA. Come on. :(

I tweeted at him and followed and he gave me a code via DM.

I followed and asked but no responses

Hell, my twitter is set to private, so it's not like he'll see mine either.

Like I said: EA needs to let folks know if they're in TODAY and that means they need to e-mail folks NOW and then tweet out/whatever that they sent the codes out. The fact they haven't yet and the beta starts tomorrow blows my mind and makes me angry.

I've been waiting years for a Mirror's Edge sequel and I want to play this NOW. But they are taking FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. ARGH.gif

Cutscenes look pretty oke. Ingame is quite blurry. Also see alot of textures not getting loaded in like in the alpha from the division
Gameplay feels great imo. Very fluid.

Xbox One.

Is the closed beta already online btw?

^ Apparently? I mean it's an always online requirement to test the social stuff out, so if he's able to boot into the game and see cut scenes, I doubt they don't have the servers on.

Well interesting need to test it later, would be great if you can already test it today.
Got it done downloading.

Cutscenes are pre-rendered. Maybe not all, but first long cutscene is.

Just finished tutorial. Fps is not very stable, i got few drops to 25 but it's usually above 30, around 40-45 most of the time. Ultra settings.

1080p
i5-4460
R9 280x
8GB

It looks good, but there are many audio and graphical glitches like blurry textures, flickering... etc. It's not very fluid and it stutters here and there for no reason but that is expected i guess.

FPS is pretty decent on Xbox. Doesnt feel like 60fps yet more like 50 but no huge drops. But like i said and others. Lots of blurry textures. Wich seems to be beta thing if even the PC has it,

Man this isn't encouraging. I thought that when they recommended the 280X getting 60fps would be easy. Maybe on high I'll get that.
 
Hopefully I can get a PC beta code...tried a couple people on Twitter and no luck

If anyone here gets a spare one I'd appreciate it...I know others have asked so I'll take my place in line
