Mirror's Edge 2 is not dead."too good to be killed"

An interview with Patrick Bach where he mainly speaks about BF and MoH he makes a few statements towards Mirror's Edge and the franchise itself where he states "It is a great IP and it's not dead, It's too good to kill" so while we already sort of knew they would be working on a sequel it's good to hear it from the horses mouth that they still care about it and it's not a dead IP

Atleast they arent stupid. Mirrors edge was a very good idea but was executed kinda poorly. Im almost positive they could nail it with a second game and Id so buy it.

"Mirrors edge isn't dead" Well if it isn't dead why the hell have you taken 5 years to announce not even a droplet of news.

I mean seriously, I understand dice has big franchises to work on, but give us some le-way? And working on MoH dumbest idea ever.

i would like another one with better combat.

Also, get rid of the tight indoor parts.

So Mirrosr's Edge 2 is in the Beyond Good and Evil 2 shelf with The Last Gaurdian and Final Fantasy Versus 13?

Cool.

They need to streamline sections more. They always boast about momentum in that game yet how many times playing ME did you have to stop and look around like an idiot for a path. Less forced gunfight encounters, less gunfire altogether (it was only there to try drive momentum and make you feel rushed) better combat and better level design overall

No worries,the EA treatment that awaits the franchise in the future will be worse than "death"...

I don't even need a crystal ball to see it! ;)

You all act like Dice is a small team that can only work on one game at a time and that is not true. Back when they were making the first run of Battlefield games they were also making Midtown Madness and the Rallisport games for the XBOX. I get the newer systems take more manpower but I am also pretty sure when they are ready to make it they will hire the needed help.deu5ka175

They're making BF3 DLC, helping in MoH and making BF4. They're pretty busy

Knowing EA they would turn it into an online shooter.

The Frostbite 2 engine could make it look so good. The Paris level in BF3 and the CQB Map Pack both had a very similar art style to Mirror's Edge. You can tell those were done by the same team.

[QUOTE="lowe0"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] No they didn't....Animal-Mother

They were very very similar. Like lowe0 said. Even the way your character runs in BF3 made it even more similar

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="lowe0"] The inside of the Euro next looked a lot like Page's building. Similar lighting, lots of walls painted a single bright color, and the use of sunlight and furniture design are very similar. Both draw inspiration from the same source.seanmcloughlin

The first game wasn't that good but the concept was neat. If they can nail it with the second game, I might just get it.

Bingo. First one had SO much potential, but terrible execution. Second one should be a bit better anyway

They have been saying something just like this every year. Just give us the game!

I don't understand what's "terrible" about first Mirror's Edge...

Not the most polished gameplay mechanics,but still,everything worked fine,the game was perfectly playable,can't complain.Nothing "terrible" about it. :?

Forcing you into encounters was bad, using guns at all was bad,no enemy variety really, they talked all the time about momentum in the game and most times you stood around scratching you head on where to go, story was lame.

The controls themselves were good and the FPS view was very immersive and running around performing stuff was a joy. Not to mention the visuals on PC are extraordinary. But it is a horribly flawed game

Hm,more or less,I can agree with some of those points,but none of that makes the overall execution so terrible. :?

There were very few encounters and enemies,so you don't really notice the lack of enemy variety and mediocre gunplay,also,aside from the last few levels,I don't recall any of this "standing around".There was a lot of fluid momentum in the game,especially since most difficulty settings highlight usable and climable objects in red...

Story,while not the best one I ever saw,was still fairly decent.Ultimately,it served its purpose,and cutscenes looked nice,I found the art-style eye-pleasing.

Sure,the game had its flaws,but nothing that severely damaged the playability,or ruined the overall immersion factor...

All of that really kinda ruined the game for me. The cramp areas and trial and error parts I experienced weren't fun for me either. It was something I wanted to love but just couldn't. That's just me though.

First person platforming, it's a unique game with one of the best artstyles of the gen.

The combat aspect is flawed, but the actual platforming was soo good. It's more of an experimental game, like Portal (short and rough around the edges), whereas Portal 2 was meaty and polished, that's why people want a sequel. It's basically a matter of going from a b-team experiment to a full on AAA title with proper resources behind it.

One of the few PS3/360 multiplatform games I loved.

I'm glad to see some much love for mirrors edge, I've put like 50 hours into the game some how.
Add a big overworld map for just free running. I'm sold.

As long as they get the feeling of the setting correct and don't make the gameplay terrible, then it doesn't matter to me what they do with it.

Yeah terrible was probably too harsh cos I really really like that game anyway despite all those things

Yeah,there were flaws,but saying "terrible execution" is being way too harsh towards an innovative and unique concept,that is ultimately perfectly playable and enjoyable...
