I am not among the thousands who were prepared to drop their pants and jizz up a storm over a mere minute and fifty-five seconds of concept, but needless to say, Mirror's Edge is theoretically a visually stunning affair backed up by some terrific ideas. It has the potential to be a killer title, so I expect this really pretty artwork to tent a few trousers upon viewing.
The art style is a breath of fresh air after all the depressing greys and browns that this generation has become famous for. While there's nothing wrong with gritty, dirty realism, the bright colors and clean, sleek look of Mirror's Edge's environs is a joy to behold. If the game can play as good as it looks, we're onto a winner -- but that would require it to play damn well.
Time, quite unlike that girl you buried in the backyard, will tell.

such a classic.
Love the color and the concept.
Man, I want this game now. It looks like it’s gonna be awesome...
@xper
You know it's funny that people are saying that, because I think she is kinda hot.
But i aint hate'n on the greys and the browns.... FALLOUT 3 is sitting right at the top of my list....
she's hot because she looks like an ACTUAL WOMAN!!!
yes, i am willing to be a spokesperson for this game.
@Intarwebz: Does she even have a name yet? She looks pretty, but I don't know what I should call her...
Yeah, it's for all 3 platforms. It's made by Dice, makers of the Battlefield series, so hopefully it will be good on PC.
@Matthew Blake
Faith.

I think it's the ridiculous facial tattoo.
I don't know about her looking like a real woman either... maybe an emmaciated goth with a penchant for extreme sports but I wouldn't say she's atypical of womanhood.
Oh well, I'm sure the tattoos have some sort of purpose. Just like Marcus Fenix being too cool to wear a helmet, despite the other 80 lbs of body armor he's wearing.
Also, /r/ hi-res plx kthxbai
The mind reels. Good job, EA!
2. "FAP" is god damn annoying.
3. This is going to suck ass. I'm willing to bet it gets drastically boring after an hour much like Assassin's Creed which also sucked.
1. You don't get the concept of a fucking joke.
2. See #1.
3. 'Lookatme, I'm judging a game by concept work and not by the fucking game itself.
You're a twat.
