Forums - Gaming - Mirror's Edge for PS3 & 360, PC...looks really cool.

Seems really cool. You play as a hottie Asian girl and it's NOT a shooter. Graphics are unbelievable and it has a bunch of heart pounding leaps of faith, etc.   Rather than killing your enemies, you focus more on getting away from them.

Almost Matrix style...it's in the latest Play Magazine too.

"The latest issue of Edge has the scoop on DICE's upcoming first-person action...jumping...thing, Mirror's Edge. First up, it's not a shooter. Instead, influenced heavily by parkour, they're calling it a first-person action adventure. Huge levels will allow you the same kind of free-form exploration and athletic tomfoolery as a game like Tony Hawks or even Crackdown, but with much finer control. Don't think the lumbering cops of Crackdown, think Prince of Persia.

But in first-person. Instead of your character being just a floating camera, like most other FPS games, your whole body is an object in Mirror's Edge. Your legs, arms and torso are visible, allowing you to judge your leaps, handholds and shimmys. Your body will also behave accurately - if you're running at full-speed you'll be able to see your feet taking larger steps and your arms pumping, and this will affect your momentum.

Other bits revealed: you'll play a "runner", member of an overground resistance movement fighting against an oppressive government (over- because the man controls the streets, see). It's coming to PS3, 360 and PC. Guns will play only a minor role. You'll be encouraged to run, not fight. And Edge, having played some early code, feel the simulation of a real, human weight to your character's movements "feels vividly realised in a way that firstperson games commonly don't". All of which sounds pretty great, so let's you and me keep an eye on this one."

i have no idea what this is about but throw that girl and i am in!



So in this game you basically.... run? That's an odd concept to make fun, I hope they pull it off though.

Well, I guess what I'm trying to get at is whether there will be anything else such as puzzles and such.  All that's shown off right now is "Hey, you can see you're arms and legs while you run!" and that you can jump realisticly.  I'd like more information before I get excited, otherwise it's just a bunch of pretty pictures to me.
