No, just the full game once its unlocked
dem textures
bububu the beta is an old build
Looks like it was representative of the final game. I bet it would still run like shit on my PC.

Yes I had. I've played the first game and liked it. I'm not stalking every game developement.

Game looks okay on Ultra, I think it is not visually impressive.

How well does it play? Are any of you having fun running through the open world? Let's leave graphics out the equation for a second.....
It is but you might have to VPN to New Zealand and start the trial from the game page rather than the origin access page.

I could go on the store page and download it from there, germany.

Mirror's Edge was always beautiful because of it's art, not because of the tech it was pushing.
That said, the Xbox One version is insanely poor in the IQ department. Thank God I'm
dipping at launch because something tells me the PC version is going to be my main platform after seeing the IQ on display here.
I'll comment on the gameplay once I get past the sections from the Beta.

I'm playing on a 770. Are anyone else finding the cutscenes to be completely unwatchable? Like the game runs totally smoothly at 60 on medium settings, but as soon as it transitions to a cutscene it dips down to a slideshow and the audio goes out of sync and it's a fucking mess.

Are the cutscenes still pre rendered?
Cutscenes were a bit choppy for me on a 980, during the beta. Not to the extent that you're telling, but it was enough to be noticeable. And yes, during gameplay it ran perfectly, though I wasn't a fan of the game stopping for half a second to load the next area.

Working fine for me - no VPN or nowt.
[EDIT -
On a 580, latest (non-Beta) drivers. Fine for me, although just 10 minutes in heh. Gonna wait til the whole thing's downloaded.]

You can play on PC in the US as of now, btw.
no vpn required.
I just played a few minutes.. I'm waiting until I get home though.. my laptop isn't up to the task.

More screens!
As for impressions. The missions are a bit short but it's the beginning of the game so they might get longuer later. The level design of the missions is ok, the level themselves are pretty cool though. Combat is still fun but I know I'm in the minority on this lol.

It's super 720p lol.
Holy goddamn at those 720p jaggies.
It's even a .png, so .jpg compression can't be blamed.

Any chance these shots look better in motion? Any kind of temporal AA or whatever magical trickery is used in other games?
Jaggies hurt my brain.

I just got to the end of the line until Tuesday. You can only get up to 36% of the story.

Did you get better at combat or is combat just shitty? Not a slight on your playing.
It's better in motion yes.
WTF is happening to the shadows at 15s?

Not story spoilers, just a cool Easter Egg spoiler.
It's such a super cool touch, I had a big dumb smile on my face when I played it.
The Jukebox in the Runner HQ plays the new theme song by "CHVRCHES."
It looks like the assets are only streaming in when you get really close.
Looks awful.
It actually seems like i've been getting into less and less fights as the game goes on. Which is a good thing because I'm terrible at it.
Sometimes things will fly over you and it could've been that.

Holy shit. At least they didn't just downgrade it.
I think frostbite engine and edram don't mix well, that is why all frostbite engine game are stufs at 720p on xbone to begin with. 30fps won't help.
Yeah. You can see the vent add texture around the 15 second mark too. I have two more videos uploading and being processed now.

Are you referring to how the game leads you by the nose through the entirety of each mission?
Yeah...

You can turn off your health bar, enemy health bar, the stupid enemy direction crosshair circle and either put Runner's Vision to Classic so it operates like it did in the original or you could turn it off entirely. You can also enable or disable the small dot crosshair.
Basically I switched everything off but the dot crosshair and switched RV to Classic and it looks and feels a lot more natural and less "cluttered" like the Beta felt.

Holy shit. I usually hate when people say this, as 99% of the time it's complete hyperbole, but that honestly looks like a fucking PS2 game. That looks shockingly bad.

Wasn't a big fan of the first one. It started off well, then got boring due to repetition, and Faith's inability to grab onto things unless you jumped straight on was annoying.
But I'm curious about this one and will check it out. Thankfully there is a trial.
Too bad it's kind of ugly.

It looks worse on my laptop than it does on my TV
Probably because my web browser is scaling that image up to 1440p and I've 60cm away from it.

EA Access isn't on PS4, you'll have to wait until launch.

There is no EA Access on PS4 so you won't see any until release / reviews / twitch. EA Access is only on xbox one and PC.
I was thoroughly unimpressed with beta but I'm downloading now on xbox one (dont have EAA on PC), I think the beta had like... 5? missions so I guess the trial is a little longer.
