Mirror's Edge artwork for your fapping delight

Mirror's Edge artwork for your fapping delight photo
     Artsy fartsy

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.

Gawd, one of those pictures makes her look like an autistic clown. The environs however, are gorgeous. Please be my new Prince of Persia that Assasins' Creed wasn't baby...

@garrfunkel: The first trailer wasn’t gameplay footage, but it was all in-game footage.

Man, I want this game now. It looks like it’s gonna be awesome...

@Crunshii: No, no, no, it's PC, PS3, and 360.

@Intarwebz: Does she even have a name yet? She looks pretty, but I don't know what I should call her...

@Crunshii

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.

Looks interesting, but I don't know if the concept of running over roofs would last an entire game. We shall see.

I can't help but find the main character quite unlikeable.
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.

I aim to play it and basically uh hope that she wears gloves so as not to burn her hands on the shiny, chromed-out railing that has been baking in the perpetually sunny totalitarian regime

Woa, a female game protagonist with small breasts? Look, guys, something tells me she's going to grow a cup size or two before the release date.

You'd think if she's a secret messenger, she'd want to avoid sporting giant, plainly visible tattoos.

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.

Whoa, a female protagonist with clothes on? Expect an optional bikini or lingerie attire in the released game.

@Mushybees: Well, she's a lot closer to looking like a real woman than the ladies of Soul Calibur IV and the chick from Heavenly Sword.

1. Do some of you really get turned on by a cartoon?
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.
