If anyone has been looking for something different FPS wise then Mirror's Edge is probably going to be one that excites you. It seems the art of 'parkour' is not something just for Altier in Assassins Creed but also heading to this new genre of FPS Action. This is defiantly a title I will keep my eyes on, along with Faith and a .45 and Velvet Assassin. I'm really excited about what the game has to offer. I really enjoyed free running in Assassins Creed and can't wait to do it in a funky FPS style. That trailer was completely in game footage, it smooth and beautiful, the trailer didn't really give much away so I'll leave you with a breakdown of the plot so far (via Wikipedia). Here's a little clip about the story; The story revolves around a runner named Faith and her struggle to free her sister from a corrupt government. She is a young woman appearing to be of Japanese descent. Her parents were killed and she was forced to grow up on the street, later becoming a runner. Faith was taught not to rely on modern forms of communication, partially because the ruthless police state prefers eavesdropping every chance they get. As Faith attempts to rescue her sister, while running messages for the criminal underworld, she gets caught up in a series of events which lead to her being pursued by the totalitarian government. Acting as Faith's guide is a mysterious character named Mercury, who will help Faith in her attempt to outwit and overcome the many government agents that are out to eliminate her. And the outline from DICE; In a city where information is heavily monitored, agile couriers called runners carry sensitive information on foot via the rooftops and skyways. Usually the police leave them alone - they have bigger fish to fry - but now something has changed... Play as Faith, the best and most agile of all runners, in an adrenaline-fuelled race to save her sister’s life as she unveils a bigger plot involving the whole city and the runners. Mirror’s Edge is an action-adventure game that revolutionizes the genre by introducing a full body experience with dynamic 1st person movement and combat, in an immersive modern-day universe and with a socially charged storyline. Yes, I know it's been front paged but I wanted to add my thoughts.

But of course it's ok because your a regular. If someone new did this, it would be a total shit storm.
Anyways I've posted William Gibson on every other cblog about this so why stop now. I hope the story is inspired by his books specifically the bridge trilogy specifically Chevette Washington who is awesome.
@NotAZombie It doesn't matter if I'm a regular of if I have a vagina. I haven't just posted the video which is what most people do. My contact in EA sent me the video and I had not check the from of Dtoid. ALSO this is not just a "check the video" post, I'm actually talking about it. Which is why its called "Mirrors Edge - My thoughts" instead of first look at mirrors edge.
The trailer really made it look pretty linear. Hopefully it won't be though, because that isn't what Parkour is about. Hopefully the tattoos have a meaning too, as I found them rather distracting.
If you must know it was in a cblog a bit below yours. Whatever though to be honest... this is a good read.
PS Thanks
But seriously, this is easily one of my most anticipated games.
PS Thanks
Velvet Assassin - Female main
Portal - Female main
Mirrors Edge - Female main
Tomb Raider - Female main
Dino Crisis - Female Main
Resident Evil - lots of female mains
Parasite Eve - Female Main
Some Final Fantasys - Female main
Haunting Ground - Female main
Rule of Rose - Female main
I could go on and on :p
I know your being sarcastic ;-)
There's nothing wrong with female characters as leads, but while No One Lives For Ever and Perfect Dark/PDZ led the way, some have shyed away from it. And if it worked for Lara Croft, there's no reason why it couldn't happen again.
Fun in games, will only be held back if you let it, for silly reasons like female characters. Must we always be a muscle bound grunt?
Fear Effect! that's the one.
Marvel at how I don't edit my posts to correct my ramblings!!!
You forgot Wet has a Female main also :-).
Hey I was just kidding, sorry if I didn't make that clear. I was just playing off of the fact that some girls get preferential treatment around here. In this case there was none but I made a joke about it.
So fuck it, I'll believe it's different from Breakdown when there actual gameplay footage from a guy playing it. Till then: DO NOT WANT!
P.S. It took me almost an hour to find the name of Breakdown, thanks Tamz!
@Reaprar
What's with you dude? You're being more of an obnoxious jackass thant usual.
@ Heretic
Way to go man, you keep that "gamers are nerds that don't know how to talk to women" stereotype alive.
Anyway, the game looks amazing, VERY MUCH DO WANT.
And i find this game shallow and pedantic!
Oh and I really don't get how it's that big a deal that it was on the front page already. Guess some people just love to point out lateness...
Needs Demo!! SOON!
BTW - Song is pretty awesome, i cant find the composer so i assume its made by a composer working on the game. Heres the link to the wav. file:
Tunage
Definitely looks reeeeally nice. :) she has a nice design too, not too over the top. I love the design of the city rooftops too... definitely gotta look out for more on this one.
