The art style is interesting how you're supposed to go towards red things and away from blue things and the music was nice but I want to see some actual gameplay before I make a judgment on this game.

That was actual gameplay, your job is to deliver top secret mail by hand because all means of communication have been tapped into.

So obviously you work for an organization against the Government (Or vice-versa)

I imagine combat and such is confonted by people trying to obtain the information you have.

This is all just my theory based on what little I have heard from the games Director.


 Whoops, said that wrong.  I wanted to see more gameplay before I get excited.  For the moment, the running and jumping looks fun, but only for five minutes.  I want to see more.


I forgot to ask, what made you think "Go towards Red but stay away from Blue"?

I know this to be at least partly wrong because on the preview she jumps from a blue ledge (airvent shutter?) to get up to the higher ledge, however I think you still may be on to something, notice how the rope changes to red whilst she is sliding down from it.

Red things indicate a possible route, but not the only one and not always the best one either.

^ I know all that but unless this false utopia has millions on nano robots doing dusting jobs on everything in sight, then there should be some dirt and grime somewhere.

Also, the view of the strret looked oddly barren and the cars looked like the overhead view oh GTA 3.

 

PS: I am not saying this is a shitty looking game, I'm just saying there are a few things wrong with it.


I love the look of it.  Every FPS is freaking dark Unreal now.  It's nice to have games like Uncharted, Ratchet, and this one to liven up the gaming world.

The pristine look adds to the ridiculously good looking graphics, too.

Mirrors Edge is using the Unreal Engine too...

It looks like red means if you jump off oo on this thing, it will safely lower your elevation, Blue will safely raise your elevation, and yellow is something you can defy gravity and maintain your elevation.

Not sure if that's true, but everything show in the video would align with the above statement.

It looks like a cool game!

 This preview clears it up a bit, but your theory could be right though :)

Reminds me of Farcry for some reason. Like Farcry in a city. But if it wasn't for the feral powers I'd probably think Matrix.



TheRealMafoo on 24 May 2008

The more I look into this game, the cooler it looks. I have a friend at work that loves to put in Assassins Creed, and just run across the rooftops. That's the only part of the game he likes.

I need to tell him about this game :)



Zucas on 24 May 2008

But yea other than Matrix/Farcry/Assassin's Creed gameplay what else is there too it.

Well coming from EA, I think this game is gonna be a FLOP.
