why do they think people will care about whatever shitty story they come up with. just give the people the parkour and pretty visuals they came for.

Sigh. Can't we just have an actual gameplay trailer? I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to make this game look amazing. Instead we get an 'in engine' trailer, which is starting to become almost as useless as CGI trailers.
I mean, I'm sure most won't care, but what would most say if it was just a blank slate parkour game in which there was no single player game with any story at all?
Right, we'd have a GAF thread saying Mirror's Edge Catalyst should really be $29.99 and who does DICE think they're kidding and blah blah blah
Don't get me wrong I'd be fully on board since Time Trial's Mirror's Edge is the only true Mirror's Edge and I'd pay $59.99 for that alone plus virtually every videogame storyline is atrocious, but you know how it goes! Bulletpoints!

True
I just hope it doesn't intrude on the gameplay. There better be no fucking slow walking, QTE, scripted bullshit messing up what should be a speedy and freeflowing game. Oh and skippable cutscenes.

There will probably be QTEs since they were in the first game.
Not too worried about it being open world. All they really need to do is stitch together a bunch of well designed sections and make it an "open city". Think of all the levels of the OG game with areas that connect them all together. I dunno if they're going to do that but Bloodborne has made me a believer in large, well designed worlds.
I wasn't sure when it was just a rumour, but Dying Light has given me a lot of hope for open-world; that game's platforming isn't as deep as Mirror's Edge (or at least as deep as it should be if they haven't dumbed it down), but it showed me that open-world ME inspired platforming can work and make navigation and exploration of an open-world much more enjoyable.
Maybe I misheard it, but hearing that people can apparently play the game at E3 is the megaton though. Hopefully there's some people who know the first game inside-out who can cover the more subtle differences in this game.

EA seems to be reaping the rewards of that investment. Its a pretty amazing engine, and seems flexible ta boot.

Straight into my veins. They can still do time trials and all that with checkpoints in the open world and such.
The original was one of my favorite games of last gen. Can't wait. Even though I just bought a 970 I might upgrade to get the best experience.

As someone who has listened to the Mirror's Edge soundtrack way too many times, the score at the end of the trailer sounds like Solar Fields to me. Let's hope.

I also have concerns about an open world.
Also, those preorder bonuses.... I really I hope I don't have to unlock an abilities in this game. Hard to tell from that description.

I want this to be awesome and with the release date being the same day as my birthday EA/DICE hopefully won't mess this up

Solar Fields or riot!
Seriously, the soundtrack made the atmosphere in the game unbelievable. Walking up to the shard in that lst level would not be the same. Nor would the Boat level, nor Kate. (yes I've listened to the OST way too much too).
Ambient music made the first game for me. I hope hope hope Solar Fields is returning.

just saw the EA press conference and learned that this is open world free-roam!!!!
YES!!!! YES!!! YESS!!!! NINTENDO 64!!!!!!(literally pumping my fists as she was talking about the game)
this is what i've always wanted!!!! fuck yes!
this game is second to Horizon for game of show for me, tomb raider moved to third place.
this announcement made me so happy!i can't fucking wait to emerge from the solitude of alleyways and rooftops to population dense areas...and that sweet sweet mirror's edge music... fuck. I remember being slightly disappointed with ME1, and now it sounds like they are making the game i always wanted out of ME1.

The game and the soundtrack from the first one played off each other beautifully. Without it I don't think the visceral feeling would have been there. It sounds like the new soundtrack is going to capture that same feeling.

lol level design in ME1 screamed for open world design. ME1 level design was so simple it was contrived.

agreed, so fucking agreed.
Not really. Time trial was the best

I'm hoping that they'll keep the origin story about Faith and her sister, and Faith's encounter with Merc, but it sounds as if they might be changing it, what with referencing a "choice" that changes her life. I can't remember such a "choice" being referenced in the first game.

i enjoyed them in the last game as well, and i hear they are back for this game. not really a big loss tbh.

The dlc has some great designs. Really hope the developers find a way to push the surreal elements in a separate mode. like they did in the first game.
Time trials were one of the most unique and replayable aspects about the game, and really highlighted combat-free movement. I love Mirror's Edge but I think it would be hurt without time trials.

Cautiously optimistic with this one as though I prefer the linearity of the first game, open world will be interesting.
On the other hand, I miss the art style from the original game - the sterility of the world was perfect in my eyes.
As for the soundtrack, please let Solar Fields come back as I can't really imagine anyone else doing the music. Hell, I just redownloaded the OST (and Still Alive album) back onto my phone to listen to it all over again.

Not really sure why people are worried about the open-world aspect -- nothing about having a traversable game world keeps them from having interestingly designed areas and timed challenges. The movement systems of the first game really seemed like they'd be extremely enjoyable to explore in an open, multi-path environment, so I'm excited.
