brokenergy Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Okay I love Mirror's Edge, it was a very awesome game but when I heard of rumors of the sequel being canceled, I'd got suspicious. Now I found out that my gut was right, Mirror's Edge 2 is still in the works and it is confirmed by EA. http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/115/1153647p1.html So yay!

Povuholo Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Yay! I just hope they got this silly idea out of their heads. Whatever the reason was for the mediocre sales of the first game, that reason was not the lack of a multiplayer feature. :dry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenergy Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) I always felt the mechanics where a bit clunky and there was a forced path (unlike Portal). I would like it if they made it a bit open more. It doesn't stop me from hating the game. Edited March 4, 2011 by brokenergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 IMO there are a few things that have to be improved to make the second game a succes 1. Combat. In this case less is more. In the first game there were several moments where it was pretty much impossible to run past the guards without killing them or knocking them out first, otherwise you'd die. So it's too bad the combat mechanics felt clunky. Firing guns didn't feel good, and the timed disarming was frustrating if you got it wrong. The whole forced combat just breaks the flow of the game. I'd rather keep running. 2. The levels. As you said, they could be more open. An open city with full free-roaming would be great, but just a little more openness would already help a lot. 3. Story. The story was kinda weak, could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenergy Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I agree, lets just see how this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 SWEET! Although there's one thing I could never understand about the first. Why wouldnt you be carrying your own gun? I mean, you know that the city's police and a whole bunch of mercenaries are after you, so why wouldnt you just pick up a pistol and pocket it?

Halororor Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Because it would slow you down. Didn't you notice that whenever Faith was carrying a gun she ran a lot slower? The spirit of ME was situated in the way you could use your speed to your advantage. Carrying a gun would break that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) I mean holstered more than anything. So like, if you had no chance but to fight, then just whip it out, shoot away, then put it back. Edited March 5, 2011 by CommanderCrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yeah, but remember, even a pistol is still heavy. Ever handled a 9mm or similar? It's not exactly uncarriable, but even holstered, can become quite a weight. The very essence of being a runner is being as fast as possible, so even just 1 or 2 kgs extra can make all the difference to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I see where you're going, and you do have a point I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
