New Mirror’s Edge Video Has Gamers Looking In The Wrong Place

The latest game trailer form Mirror’s Edge shows the main character, Faith, chasing an NPC through the the city. It gives you a good idea of the “oh shit, I’m going to puke” moments in the game. But during my hands on with the title at EA’s New York City press day, the one place you need to pay the most attention while busting out Matrix-level parkour is down. If you don’t watch your feet, you don’t stand a chance. Hit the jump to check out the video.

EA Announces Ship Date For Mirror’s Edge

The game that Parkour built, Mirror’s Edge, will hit shelves on November 11th for the Xbox 360 and the PS3. PC owners will have to wait until later in the winter and Wii owners…well, you’re shit out of luck. And yes, there will be a demo. In a weird swag move, EA is offering up a code to gamers that pre-order Mirror’s Edge that will unlock the Time Trial mode in the demo game.

Mirrror’s Edge has enjoyed a lot of buzz since E3 where it took “Best Original Game” honors. It also took down Best Xbox 360 Game at Leipzig. Not bad for a first person shooter that rewards you for never pulling a trigger.

Das Gamer Gets Some Hands On Time With Mirror’s Edge

When you think DICE, you think Battlefield, an award eating warfare based shooter franchise for the PC. DICE has recently seen some success with their latest console venture (and some would say first successful console title) Battlefield: Bad Company. Sure, blasting away at soldiers and vehicular mayhem seems to be almost second nature to DICE, but what about Parkour? Really? An odd concept on paper has seemingly turned into one of the most exciting titles I got my hands on at E3. Even though there is combat, just as in the art of Parkour, the main goal of Mirror’s Edge is to get from point A to point B in the safest and most efficient way possible.

EA Rolls The Dice On Mirror’s Edge

EA-owned Digital Illusions (DICE) knows a thing or two about shooters. They’ve sold millions of copies of its Battlefield games over the years, including their most recent, Battlefield: Bad Company. Their next title, Mirror’s Edge, a first-person shooter, takes two bold chances. For one thing, it’s original intellectual property. And second, the game allows players to take guns completely out of the equation. Tom Farrer, producer of Mirror’s Edge, said that while a lot of other games have touched upon first-person action, including Thief and Breakdown, no one has ever followed through for a complete game experience. By combining elements of first person shooters and third person action, the developers place as much emphasis on what the main character, Faith, does with a gun in her hand as what she does without.
