I would normally cheer for a sequel to Mirror's Edge but in this case we all know EA will dudebro the game to the max, by focusing more on the shooting/cinematic elements rather than dismiss them and purely emphasize on what made it good.

You know how I know that's not happening? Because this game exists.
Mirror's Edge has no cachet with that audience at all. so there would be no value in putting the Mirror's Edge name on it. If EA needed another shooter franchise (which, not really), they would make it from scratch.
Exactly, it didn't sell well in its previous form, so that's when these publishers change the format.Â
It won't become a shooter per se, but put more emphasis on those elements that were previously just filler parts of the game. So instead of a few optional gunfights (I think you can complete the game without hurting a single enemy) , there will be set pieces with high production values now where shooting is mandatory.Â
Can you name a series they haven't streamlined to the masses? Mass Effect has less RPG elements, Dead Space 3 puts less focus on the survival horror aspect; basically all blockbuster games go through this process nowadays. They are stripped of their unique parts and become generic action games.
