Mirrors Edge 2 - Discussion Thread

This may be old news but wanted to share with everyone…
EA confirms small team working on Mirrors Edge 2 - Mirror’s Edge for PS3 News
Mirror’s Edge 2 to be powered by Frostbite 2?

I have not played its 1st part, So is it worth downloading and playing it now???

Second part is under development and the first part is a good game. wonder why people didn’t like it its a good new IP. You can just play the whole game without a gun shot.

If you have a controller then absolutely… Even with keyboard + mouse its quite playable but controller makes it more fun…

MOST definitely.

[h=1]Mirror’s Edge 2’ in “production phases” says Swedish industry insider[/h]
Faith is about to come out of retirement.

Today, a tweet from the general manager of ngmoco Sweden set the game industry abuzz with talks of a sequel to “Mirror’s Edge”. Ben Cousins, the aforementioned general manager, [tweeted](

https://twitter.com/BenjaminCousins/status/271202320606457856

), **“It is general knowledge in the Stockholm (Sweden) dev scene that ‘Mirror’s Edge 2’ is in production at DICE.” **

The article Mr. Cousins links to in his tweet states that the “Battlefield” developer does not “want to become a ‘Battlefield’ factory” (which seems like a shot at a certain publisher that pushes out multiple military-based first person shooters in various historical periods).

Although DICE became famous for making the “Battlefield” series, “Mirror’s Edge” has garnered cult status. The game centers around Faith, a parkour expert *cum *courier who must deliver secret packages to resistance fighters against an Orwellian state. The focus of the game was not on combat but how quickly and efficiently Faith could traverse the obstacles in her way. In fact, the game rewarded those who explicitly avoided combat by disarming enemies and moving on.

News about “Mirror’s Edge 2” being in development surfaced as early as 2009 but talk about the game died down. That is until today when Mr. Cousins tweeted that the game is still very much in production.

Of course, Mr. Cousins’ comment is not out of the ordinary as games have tumultuous cycles (witness one “Metal Gear Rising Revengeance”) but reading that “Mirror’s Edge 2” is still be worked on is good news. “Mirror’s Edge” is one of the most original and innovative games this generation and it would be sad to see that it did not get a sequel. Keep coming back as more information is released about the game.

Yes, the first part is definitely worth playing, even with a keyboard and mouse.

Looking forward to the second part. Thanks for the share :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Only let down of Mirrors Edge was it was damn short. Just like Portal 1.

More rumors! :face_with_tongue:

^^ I just that piece of news at VG 24/7. Looks like it’s in the works, maybe something to be shown at E3!

Make it happen EA.

EA beeches removed the link. :face_with_tongue:

Here’s a screengrab posted by VG247:

I get a feeling this might be a timed exclusive just like the first one which was out on consoles first. Anyways, I hope this E3 has some news in store for us.

They will probably announce it in E3. That it is in development seems to be common knowledge in Reddit. Expect all the usual EA bullshit though, Origin only, Day One DLCs, season passes, map packs etc.

^^ yeah hate all that EA bullshit, they killed Dead Space 3

Hope the below statements helps. Don’t take anything literally.

Oh yes so true! Even gears of war sequels couldn’t make it to the pc due to its high piracy rate.

He means that Exxxtraaa computing power is going to make human mind work faster too which will take it to the next level. Human brain is proportional to the computing power of next gen hardware. I love this theory!

Corrected and translated.Everything is strictly business. Because we also need a way of income its just the amount should be huge.

The reviews are out. 6.8/10IGN 72% Metacritic 8.5/10Destructoid.

I liked the beta and the first game. Will probably pick it up once the price goes down a little.
