Fucking lame. It'll probably get canned which sucks ass because Mirror's Edge was awesome. I will forever stand by that game as a damn good game for the $40 and under you can get it for. I still play through it every other month or so.
Seriously, fuck this.
The first game was amazing, and it stands as one of my favorite games of this generation. It killed me inside when I talked to people who ignored it because 'you didn't get to shoot enough people.' Truly a sad day in gaming.

Seriously? I figured this would happen when we didn't hear about it, though. :| It sucks when studios actually attempt to do something different, it goes well, and then they just give up halfway through. COME ON. THIS IS NOT CHANGING THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY. I WANT MORE UNIQUE GAMES THAT AREN'T WAR FPS.
I bought Mirror's Edge the day it came out and never regretted it. The only thing I regretted was not getting that sweet EA messenger bag for preordering it. I actually own it for both 360 and PS3, so I was REALLY hoping for a sequel. If I had an IPhone I would definitely scoop up that version, as well.
I still think the console versions are feasts for the eyes and I still have a blast whenever I feel like doing some virtual freerunning!
Cynics will never rob me of my hope for Faith!

I love that gamea and renchan, a good game is a good game and in fact it's good to see FPS's that are getting unique.
Depressing news, really. I didn't own a PS3 until November of 2009. I bought the game after I felt caught up enough with the usual big titles (MGS4, for instance).
I love the game. Truly love it. I even recently bought and played Dead Space 1 and loved it as well. I think EA is making a big mistake if they don't give us a sequel sooner rather than later.
The entire HD console landscape is different now. The PS3 is selling well. The 360 is still selling. Hell, they've managed to make Dead Space work. There's no reason to believe that they wouldn't be able to get people on board with a properly made Mirror's Edge 2.
Just downright shameful...

Man, that sucks. The original game had so much potential to be a completely kick-ass game. I was really looking forward to an improved sequel.
Mirror's Edge was one of the most frustrating games I've ever played but I'm still somehow upset there's not going to be a sequel.
Why are people surprised after BF3's announcement? As much as we love ME, DICE probably is going to need every single developer to get their next, hopefully, magnum opus out the door this fall.
Got the original for 20 bucks at Office depot (O_o wut?) and I enjoyed it very much,didn't even know that there was a second one in development, kinda makes sense it's postponed though
damn this is heartbreaking i absolutely love Mirror's Edge its my favorite game so far in this generation, i even own both the PS3 and 360 version. Well as long as it is being made i cant complain to much

Of course that they would need to back up with Battlefield games, I am not surprised. I would just expect that SOME DAY they would bring the sequel once they made enough funds to ensure financial issues.

damn... was really hoping this was going to emerge some time soon!first game is one my favorites,was such a nice change of pace! custom playlist, speedrun, and you were set!
the first one defintely had its share of flaws but for the price it is now, it's actually one of the best games you can get. All they had to fix was combat and the story sequences and it'd be such a great sequel.
I bought the first one on Steam for 5 bucks and just can't get into it. I've played it for less than an hour total time. I liked the demo but everytime I try to go back and play it again I get distracted by a better game.
Dammit, I loved the first one. The gameplay was very unique and appealing. And since the ending's a cliffhanger, I thought the sequel to be a sure bet.
Well... gotta leave DiCE to concentrate on BF:Something3000 I guess. Keep it up industry, seems you didn't suck the WarFPS dry yet!

Meh, first game couldn't understand it's own god damn mechanics, so much like Charmander there, I don't give a fuck.
I'm a huge fan of the first game so knowing that a sequel was in development and has been delayed, really sucks.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I rather liked the first one. Sure, it had several glaring flaws, bit overall I had a good time with it and have been hoping to hear more about ME2 for a long while. This wasn't the news I wanted to hear.

Figures. Few games in recent years have exhibited as much potential as Mirror's Edge did, and a properly-tweaked sequel would be amazing...soooo they put it on the back burner. I'm not one to complain at length about the state of the industry or anything like that, but this is definitely one of those "WHYYYYY" situations for me.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :( Everyone should be sad about this, I mean less entertainment = more troll images in the comments :( Or was it the other way around?
Booooo! Damn it EA/DICE I still had hope for this one especially since Dead Space got its sequel. It's funny how two of EA's biggest disappointments are still two of my favorite games this generation. Whatever. Until they explicitly say the game is cancelled I'm keeping up hope.
EA has voiced pretty often their concerns about making a game like Mirror's edge, mostly because it never seemed that any players would be interested.
The first game nailed some interesting concept, but the on-rail running & cheezy story is not enough.
With that kind of first impression I totally understand EA's decision to " postpone" it, but also, I completetly discredit it. That IP was very innovative, very well designed and had a fantastic gameplay, stopping the dev is no valid repercussion when they nailed the most important basic of that game. Exploring the concept further would be at least more conclusive.
Most notably an emergent gameplay would help. Like in specific maps players can set objectives and races to make with other players to a lott of different spots. And all players can participate or interfere in the races, Like an open, free-running map which would really adhere to the game's prupose. It's just one example.

This is so depressing. And honestly, to the gamers who say they won't miss it, fuck you all. It's people like you that are killing the unique games in this industry. Keep playing your war FPS's and generic sports games, works of art like Mirrors Edge will continue to die off. I guess most of you just couldn't understand the graphic designed masterpiece of an artstyle that ME had. Mirrors Edge was hands down one of the best games I've ever played, and it's quite tragic to see such a game will never get the second chance it deserves.
I can see why they did this but damn... this is pretty disappointing. Mirror's Edge was one of the most unique experiences we've had in such a long time. I am keeping my fingers crossed that someday we will be able to play it someday.
I wasn't aware development had started. In fact, I wasn't aware there was even going to be a sequel.
Mirror's Edge is up there with Demon's Souls and Dragon Age as the best games I've ever played in this generation of gaming consoles
This actually makes me a bit sad. I enjoyed Mirror's Edge despite its flaws, and I wouldn't be surprised if a sequel sold much better, simply because it had a 2 on it.
Shame. Dice shooters don't do it for me but Mirror's Edge is one of my favorite current gen games. It wasn't perfect but there isn't much like it. I really wanted to traverse the whitewashed skyscapers whilst dodging police again. Brink will hopefully fill the void until another game prominently features parkour. Until then I'll file Mirror's Edge with Jade Empire under games that deserve a sequel and will never get one.
Mirror's Edge 2 development postponed after developer cried himself to sleep due to all the "Make her chest bigger" remarks.
Well. Fuck. A small development team was better than postponed. Mirror's Edge is one of my favorite games of all time, so this seriously disappoints me. Then again, if EA wanted to force multiplayer into it, maybe it's better if they simply let it die. Even if it means I'll be crying myself to sleep every now and then.
