wow man that video looka unbelievably awesome I can't wait to give that a go! it looks so frigging sweet! ( and she's HOT! )
It's probably like Assassin's Creeds free run system, i.e. you probably just hold down a button and the game does everything for you automatically. But, it does look pretty damn cool.
I don't mind delays either. delayed games will come out eventually. it's not like we're decrepit old men with only a few years left to live.
mirror's edge looks fantastic. on a technical aspect, it's actually not that much different then alot of other current gen games. It only looks more amazing due to it's fantastic art direction (the shading is alot of baked ambient occlusion maps, which is visually obvious and pleasing on all the simple whites and saturated surfaces).
and on the ps3 selling more, I guess Europeans are just smarter at investing their money in reliable hardware. american culture has too of the "things are disposable" mentality.

@jpitner: Yes. Yes I do.
@13thDragon: It would have to work in a manner similar to that, because all this parkour stuff is going to be impossible if you can’t see your body (i.e., without a third-person viewpoint).
@ceark: Uh...baked ambient occlusion maps FTW! Also, from what I understand, the PlayStation brand has always been very strong in Europe, and the PS3 is something of a status symbol — I’m sure those two things have a lot to do with the console’s success in that region.

Killzone 2 would probably be out already if they'd stop making phony trailers and screenshots for it.
Dang, Genfu, I always watch your avatar for 5 runthroughs or so every time I see a post of yours lol
Killzone delayed again huh. I was looking forward to it somewhat but I guess I'll have to wait longer now. Also boo on the LBP delay, but a month isn't that bad as long as they get it right.
Dislike due to first-person perspective. The game itself looks like a more open-world, simpler idea I've had for designing a Jacki Chan stunt game that utilizes world objects in many ways to defeat or escape various opponents. The sliding, climbing, wall jumping, balancing stuff is spot on for that type of game, but first-person view just ruins it completely for me.
Oh, and I'm guessing that the color is coordinated with a button for performing the action needed, so some later puzzles might require switching quickly between yellow, red, blue, and green to perform certain stunts.
Mirrors Edge looks beautiful and I always though it'd be cool to learn Parkour. But I have too many memories of games that look really good but then for one reason or another they blow elephant balls.
I call dibs on the Faith halloween cosplay this year. I already have her haircut, just need a few tattoos and some cargo pants! She's like the AZN Leeloo.

Huh, I didn't even notice the colors the first time I watched it. Your idea does make a lot of sense, that's probably what it is. On "red" objects, press B, etc.

Looks nice, it amazes me though that more sony exclusive titles are slipping, sure this looks good but it will be on the xbox too.
PS3 needs EXCLUSIVES.

god that looks awesome but wtf's up with the main character?
She like she was taped together from a bunch of character designs.

Wow just watched that vid, definatly looks like fun. Doesn't look like anything I'd be totally into, but just from a graphical standpoint it looks amazing. Who knows, will definatly have to keep watch on this one.
It doesnt surprise me that they have sold more ps3's than 360's. Europe has always been very loyal to sony. It would be interesting to see it broken up by region and see how the united kingdom in particular differs from the rest of europe.
Mirrors Edge looks interesting though i will reserve my judgement until we have some hands on impressions. It may look nice but is it fun? A female protaganist is good if she is more like Jade from BG&E rather than tits with a gun. Hmm, actually a tits with gun game might be quite good. They could use the new Unreal meatcube physics engine.
I don't think many people would argue that late good games are not better than early crap games. No matter how excited you are for a games release there will always be plenty of stuff to play in the mean time.
I guess there has to be a limit though. At one point you have to consider the game to be what it is and ship it rather than constantly fixing every minute detail that in turn makes very little impact on the enjoyment of the game (this refers to those perfectionist developers that want to the game to be EXACTLY like their mental image). It's tough though because sometimes those little things make all the difference. Hmm, i can how sometimes it can be a tough decision, deciding to delay a game.

I'm pretty sure that, largely, the only people who are truly anticipating Killzone 2 are hardcore Sony fanboys. It just looks like a generic shooter, at this point. Pretty, but generic. If I were them, I'd be more apt to keep an eye on Haze.

Mirror's Edge looks like it could be something special. It could also be a tech demo though. In my experience, a game with action that fluid and beautiful in a trailer is never that fluid and beautiful when you have a controller in your hand. That said, it looks like it's got style, and the music was f'n beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more.
As for Killzone, pfeh. I don't know why they're pretending it's that exciting, when the original game does not have the kind of pedigree to justify it. The ridiculous delays (this was announced before the PS3 was anywhere near released) do not inspire me with confidence.
The PS3 outselling the 360, however, is impressive, if a little predictable. We love our Sony products here in Europe, and I think Sony deserves it after not fucking us over with region locks and having a platform with a lot more timely Euro releases than before. Good stuff.

That.. was awesome. I want to play that game RIGHT NOW! Oh and the 'female protagonist' is so hot.. want to touch the hiney.

Let's not forget, the Half-Life 2 games are also all tech demos. It's not always a bad thing.

I got chills when watching that trailer
I pray that this game doesn't end up being first person Assassin's Creed
