I just finished the Mirror's Edge demo twice. I am all about oldschool hardcore platforming, and this game is pretty much a dream come true.
If they can keep up the level of giddiness I maintained in that half of the first level it could very well have my vote for game of the year. Anyone else try it yet?

Yeah, I got the demo. Looks good, but I'm gonna wait a bit to see how much gameplay there really is. Not gonna play $60 for something that has the length of Portal, as good as that might be.

If I had to pick a favorite genre of videogame it would be 3d platforming. I really hope this game is as tight as advertised. It looks totally sweet.

Hum, no PC demo. God forbid we filthy non-console owners steal one of those.

Actually, that's understandable. The PC version is apparently 2 months behind and releases late December. I would get it for PC myself if it wasn't for... well, the fact it was an EA game and thus more than likely has SecuROM

...oh yeah. I probably will steal it then.

Which is kinda appropo, given the whole zeitgeist of the thing.

Game will probably be short, but have a lot of meat in the DO IT FASTER department.

Hah.

Anyway: I can't stop playing the Mirror's Edge demo. It's fucking fun.

Also, the fact that you can see Faith, her arms, her legs, her mannerisms, that you can hear her breath and talk makes a thousand times more interesting than Gorden "Floating Invisible Murder-Cube" Freeman. Also, I only just now figured out her name.

I've been playing this demo just about every day since it came out. I preordered it SO HARD. Didn't get my time trial code, those bastards, but I think it's too close to the release to bother complaining.

Seems I picked the wrong time to transform my accidental habit of not buying EA games into a deliberate boycott. I'll be skipping the demo - don't need the temptation to cheat on it, and I want to take my return to the Land of Filthy Pirates slowly.

Damned if it doesn't look great, though.

I'm pretty much milking the demo for everything it has at this point. I'm trying to at least get a perfect run.

Hand-to-Hand combat is actually pretty fun.

Niku · « **Reply #11 on:** November 09, 2008, 04:05:31 PM »

Definitely dug it on the first run through, gonna give it a couple of more times to really get a feel for it.

Defenestration · « **Reply #12 on:** November 09, 2008, 04:16:24 PM »

I spent hours fucking around with the two hostiles at the very end. You can do some crazy shit if you don't feel like simply punching. Try wallrunning, aboutface, jump again, AIR KICK, disarm. It frickin' flips them all the way around.

Saturn · « **Reply #13 on:** November 13, 2008, 02:40:14 AM »

protip: DO NOT TRY TO PUNCH COPS IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WITHIN 30 FEET.
you may have dont get hit auto healing, but you cant take more than about 3 bullets.
also, you can make faith do the "Shove it" gesture by jumping, hitting the 180 button then the melee button, and doing this with cops around netted me an achievement.

Okay, I seem to be stuck on Chapter 2. [spoiler]It's right after you get out of the storm drain, there are a bunch of blues in body armor with shotguns.[/spoiler] I just can't seem to, you know, not [spoiler]get violently shotgunned to death[/spoiler].

Saturn · « **Reply #15 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:09:00 PM »

steal shootgun, shoot cop.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #16 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:34:36 PM »

never

EDIT: okay, figured it out. And by 'figured it out', I mean I looked up the solution on the gamefaqs message board.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #17 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:52:19 PM »

Hey, guys, guess what: expect to spend more time in this game stuck and getting killed by cops than actually playing it.

Saturn · « **Reply #18 on:** November 14, 2008, 04:05:09 PM »

i wouldn't mind so much if they went from normal doof cops to SWAT jerks, but it's mostly ALL SWAT ALL THE TIME AND THEY HAVE LIGHT MACHINE GUNS.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #19 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:43:39 PM »

Okay, so, when the game is good, it's really fucking good. When it's not good, you're desperately trying to figure out what you're supposed to do before a battalion of heavily armed and armored men violently murder you with machine guns every few seconds.

Literally, deaths can be measured in seconds.
