Mirror's Edge - MARIO GALAXY MAP Page 62 LOL!

From Wikipedia
Mirror's Edge is a first person action-adventure video game being developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE), due for world-wide release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November 2008. A Windows version is in development, but its release has not been announced.

The game was announced on July 10, 2007 and will be powered by the Unreal Engine 3 with the addition of a new lighting solution, developed by DICE. The game has a realistic, brightly-colored style and differs from most other first-person perspective video games in allowing for a wider range of actions—such as sliding under barriers, tumbling, wall-running, and shimmying across ledges—and greater freedom of movement, in having no HUD, and in allowing the legs, arms, and torso of the character to be visible on-screen.

The game is set in a conformist dystopia in which communication is heavily monitored by a totalitarian regime, and so a network of runners, including the main character, Faith, are used to transmit messages while evading government surveillance.

Launch date [EDIT] 13 Nov 2008, this platformer/FPS is not about the guns, it's all about the graceful running and Parkour acrobatics.

You control Faith, a Runner, who serves the underground by transmitting information the only way it can be hidden from an oppressive government: on foot, running across the rooftops of the city.

TV Ad

Here's someone's video of Mirror's Edge beautiful theme song, Still Alive (no, not Portal. The city does look like something out of Aperture Science, doesn't it?) Sung by Swedish singer Lisa Miskovsky, it really is good, and there are some outstanding remixes available.

Still Alive (The resemblance is a lie)

    It's unfortunate but I'm probably going to have to wait to get this sometime next year. I just don't really have the time to play it right now although it looks so amazing.

    Demo will have to tide me over till then.

    I would love it if this game had straight up multiplayer parkour race modes. Attacks included.

    And then of course the sequel. Mirror's Edge: Hot Pursuit.

    I finally got to play this yesterday in demo form. Turns out driving to my friends house and playing it there was much easier than trying to get my shit connected at home.

    It was short, but it was sweet and has me wanting more.

    Has anyone got the preorder bag, but not want it? We have no bonus for it in Aus, and I want it sooooooo much.

    I'm not just begging, I'd happily pay cost and then some.

    Well, this whole November 11 thing has certainly been a welcome surprise. Can anyone at EBstop answer a question for me? If I go in tomorrow and they don't have the game, but they do have the bags, can I pick up the bag if my preorder is paid off? Tuesday is my only day off this week, so it's unlikely I'll be able to get their in a timely fashion on any other day, and I'm worried my bag will get swiped.

    Play Review: "I am the new enlightened male. Also, I have a massive Asian fetish."

    Faith is hot in this game. But that's because she is hot, and it's stupid to nancy around saying she gives his brain a boner just because she wears a halter top and cargo pants instead of a latex suit made of her own hair. All that "independent" talk is just incidental to that.

    This game is really bringing out these reviewers' inner pretentious-expository-writing-douchebag. Next we're going to hear how the game is a parable for our time, and then I will go insane.

    This guy really didn't think hard in his review.
    Throughout gaming’s relatively short history, female protagonists have almost always either been portrayed or perceived as über-sexy. From the opposing point of view however, the same can easily be said about male leads (when was the last time you saw a pudgy hero save the day?) although what it all really boils down to is simple dollars and cents. You know what they say: sex sells. But is sex all that sells?

    I don't care one way or the other about her perceived hotness. I was actually commenting on the banality of the first portion of that review. I WISH I could get paid to write stuff like that.

    People are talking about the hotness of Faith? In reviews?

    I've only ever been interested in the gameplay and the world in which the game takes place. I saw Faith and thought "Cool, female main character that's pleasant-looking" and then quickly proceeded to not give a shit about her looks. It's not Tomb Raider.

    The funny thing is the new Tomb Raider will come out, and all the reviewers will try their darndest to not mention anything about Lara Croft's assets for fear of being "obvious".

    In any case, I can't wait to play this game.

    Left 4 Dead anyone? I think the heroine in that game looks much more realistic and down to earth than Faith. When I see Faith, I see Asian pop star. Which, you know, I'm okay with since I like Asian pop and the game itself seems awesome, but it feels rather hypocritical to praise Mirror's Edge for avoiding the whole sex appeal approach to female characters when it didn't; it just replaced the typical Western ideal with an Asian one.
