It's simple. If they want to SELL IT, give Faith the ability to use guns and add meaningless multiplayer with COD style tiered level ups.
If they want to make a good game, get a good writer for the story this time so people don't complain about the campaign, and push the whole point of the Mirror's Edge series - time trials - "figuring out multiple ways to get to one place - Faith is your puzzle piece". BAM! BRING IT! #tigerblood

Less combat, cutscenes that aren't added last minute, and cool chase sequences. That's how you sell more.
Fair enough. Just please, don't make it a shooter and keep Faith's clothes on.
I love shooting things and hot near nudity but this is not that game. I don't making it marketable to ruin the image it already has. Make it bigger and better and more badass but minimal shooting, no pandering, and retain the sleek style it has.

It's ironic since you recently wrote an article mentioning Mirror's Edge. I really hope that this sequel actually comes out and that it's good.
@Mag - Mostly agreed - a lot of the things needed to "make it a hit" are anathema to what made the game worth playing in the first place.
I know you guys need to make a profit, but it would be nice if these larger developers spent a bit more attention on audiences less than 50 million strong - getting behind another Henry Hatsworth would make my day so much you can't imagine.

Even if it did come out, console gamers would still find something to complain about. They complain more than playing games.
I was just thinking, I actually wouldn't be opposed to multiplayer if it was like a giant game of tag.
He greenlights the games ? So this guy greenlighted the Wii versions of Nfs:HP and Sims 3 ? I'm not sure if that's the right guy to greenlight games...
@Cryotek
I've heard this said but I can't imagine the other FPS' that this mechanic would work with. I still say keep it within Mirror's Edge and just perfect that game.

@Psykocyber:
Because they need to make money? You can't slash a game's budget and expect the developers to make a polished game that fixes all the issues with the original. Quality products cost money.

What's there to figure out? Do the same as before but hire some competent level designers, use the in-game models for cut scenes instead of that flash shite and ditch the combat. The existing running-jumping-climbing-trees was great on the levels which weren't borked.
Funny, I just finished another playthrough of Mirror's Edge the other day. Love the art style, music, atmosphere and the combination of platforming and puzzling.
I never really used guns in my first playthrough. Disarming people was a pain in the arse and I didn't know about the blue slow-mo since I was drunk when I played the tutorial and forgot about it for the rest of the game!

If they really want to push the dichotomy between fight or flight in Mirror's Edge 2, they need to make the flight option more enticing - ergo, make the enemies more daunting, and give them more character. Make them terrifying, so you feel Faith's fear as you're running from them.
Nab Ed Norton or some other willing actor to play the "police chief from hell who just won't quit". Like Fugly said, add some killer chase scenes, and that's all you really need to do. People loved the foot chase from Casino Royale, regardless of how they felt about the rest of the film - build an awesome trailer for the game like that, leak it, flash a famous actor's voice, and you have more money than Charlie Sheen.

Well, seeing as how the developer is the same exact one as the Battlefield 2&3 developer...
MAKE IT MOAR LIEK CoD! jk, jk, I love DICE.
I bought(but never really played more than 1/3 of the way through because of my OCDness)Mirror's Edge and I would surely buy a sequel.

The cartoon cutscenes were bad. I think that a great way to involve more the player was to make all the game in first person, from start to finish. The combat needs to be more seamless, so I can take one, maybe two enemies in one blow and don't stop running. And perhaps make more diverse scenarios, more street level parts, lots of persons and living obstacles, like trying to cross a street without getting hit by a car. When you're making a game that parkour is the key, chases are what make it fun. Also stealth by exploration to break up the tempo, trading speed for a kind of puzzle in how to get from point a to b without being seen.
Somewhere along those lines is the way to make the game great, in my opinion.

@Xzyliac and Magnalon you guys speak the truth, i wish EA would put the two of you in charge of Mirror's Edge 2.
I mean, what problems? I enjoyed this game a lot and I wad really loved it. I will buy it if they write a new story and keep the good old Mirrors Edge. I hope that this isn't only my case...
Make the game fucking LONGER. Four hours is not enough when it's almost all you have in the game.
Make the combat actually feel good.
Design the levels better--they only make sense from a level design perspective.
Time trials were cool, but throw in some multiplayer; can you imagine, say, a game mode where you have to grab a flag, and then run around avoiding the other players who have to catch up to you and steal the flag from you? Throw in some traditional combat modes with more Brink-style play, and you may have something special.
Hell, make a "soldiers vs runners" mode, where some players have guns and shoot, while the runners can do all the crazy climbing and have to sneak into a place steal something, and break out.

I know! Turn it into yet another attempt to emulate COD! Look how well your other revived franchise, MOH did! Or BC2!
I have a good alternative to multiplayer

LOVE IT!
Let's make our own parkour game for the iOS, and call it "Reflection's Rim".

It's all in the marketing. Kayne and Lynch 2 sold shit loads, most likely to to marketing that was everywhere in the months leading up to release. Seems simple enough to me.
Maybe filling the lots of plot holes the story had would be a beginning. Also, do not transfer the color palette to freaking grays, the palette of vibrant colors is characteristic to the franchise.
I know how to EA: Make the PC version as shitty as possible, maybe putting shitty forced Motion Blur and Bloom that gives you eye cancer, and make the Game Specs "Gamer, Advanced and Hardcore". All in all, only let me alter my resolution and v-sync. That'll win the audience.
What's the obsession with this "franchise" (can you call it that when there was one, bad, poorly-received game)?
Here's an idea: don't make sequels to bad games that don't sell.
I'm surprised EA is caving to what apparently must be fanboy internet hype for this game -- there's no good reason to try and resuscitate this title.

I agree with Dr_Spaceman_ that it would be an interesting game on the Kinect. The game mechanics (over, under, jump, wall run, etc.) would be easy enough to do and I think that given the first person POV I would be more forgiving if it was a bit more on rails (with a toggle of sorts) while I did the actual jumping, ducking, or whatever indicators.
Goliathvv also has the right idea with an open world sandbox. Although that's a whole lot of red and blue =P
Personally, although I don't have the TV for it and won't for years, I would think a 3d first person parkour game would be a star on top of that 3d gaming Christmas tree. I played the original on a 10 foot wide projection screen, and it really added to the experience. I did NOT want to fall off of the building.
Also, I tried to go for the gun free experience for the achievement until I got drunk and was in the subway level. It was at that point that I realized how much fun playing cat and mouse with a disarm pop pop and toss strategy was. I uh... didn't get that achievement.

Make Mirror's Edge 2 like the excellent iPhone version and call it a day. A full fledged 2D running experience that was similar to, yet infinitely better than Sonic 4.
It needed a better story and something closer to real boss battles than the reptetive platoons of random soldiers infiltrating the umpteenth art deco office building.
multiplayer with a "tag", "race", "guards vs runners" modes
more chases
how about a third person camera option to prevent motion sickness?

I'll give EA the benefit of the doubt and assume that they just didn't like how Mirror's Edge 2 as it was was developing.
I'm wondering on what people think if Mirrors Edge 2 was 3D are?
When i played the original i got the impressive they were going for as real 1st person as you can get.
By adding 3D do you think it would enhance the 1st person feel or think it would induce sickness (As some people felt ill from just the 1st person perspective of the first game.)
