Mirror's Edge? Yeah, that was like this thing's aborted retard sister.

Yes, yes, and yes.

If that is gameplay, it looks kind of obnoxious for the player. The camera doesn't give a very good field of view for the objects he's leaping to (completely blind jump at 0:32), so you probably have to find your way through areas like that through trial and error.

If it's real gameplay, it was a scripted run. A human would have to play that route dozens of times to get it down that flawlessly.

You playing it; 46 min. to figure out just where the hell to go while fighting endlessly respawning enemies (or worse, killing all the enemies and spending 30 mins looking for the objective)

Everything Vaid said. I mean...yay...nice chunk of PR candy, but put a controller in my fucking hands and let me control the character or it's just fluff. If it does play exactly like that...then this looks like a crappy game that is going to require hours of doing the same stupid back alley over and over again until I figure out, "Oh...I was supposed to blind jump to that ledge on the left?"

My time as a member of the press in this industry has made me very unreceptive to these displays of, most-likely, fakery.

It doesn't look that much more complicated than Pop or Asasins creed. The camera moves quick but it shows the jump points while the climbing animation is going on. Usually in games like this yer hammering the button 4 or 5 times in advance of the move anyway.

Seattle!

The first game was fucking awesome, and the bipedal animals didn't bother me. Normally they would, but for some reason they seemed kind of hard to rule 34, not that that's ever stopped anyone.

Still, only game on 360 that's really made me want to purchase the system.

I dunno, I can envision a control scheme as it's playing... maybe left and right triggers to grab onto corners or rotate when hitting a wall. I'd imagine it's standard FPS controls in a third-person camera, with some Prince of Persia-esque context sensitivity for stuff like the wall jumping and pole climbing.

Did you just copy and paste one of your criticisms of Fallout 3?

oh, binro

I agree with Binro on this one.

Computer games should be a festive thing. You should make your character in the game and he or she should just scream "I'm ready for the fiesta!" I would have liked to play this game more if the helicopter was maybe a pastel pink. More pastels in general, especially around the mosque structure. I also don't really approve of the brief depictions of Asians. Also, where are the radios? I want to be able to INTERACT with the game world by turning on songs (I envision like, if I were in Afghanistan I could play music from there) or playing games within the games, like cup stacking. Also it would be cool if you didn't always have to hurt the guys with guns, maybe if you could open a dialog box with them and maybe talk them out of shooting you? Just an idea.

Don't be a damn fool.

If the challenge is taken out of navigating the world it's simply the developer's job to put challenge somewhere else. You might as well be complaining that a game's too easy because your guy automatically climbs stairs. Pushing up on the control stick ain't gonna beat the damn game, it probably won't jump for you or fight for you, it'll probably just navigate obstacles like hopping over a table or sliding under a low hanging wall or whatever.

Yes, I'm speculating too but my speculations aren't stupid like yours.

Mirror's Edge was a game with potential as great as its flaws. If they can fix those mistakes, vary up the gameplay, and bring some of that BG&E story and humor, it would be a hell of a game.

-1 because the camera doesn't inspire confidence, and its not a real look at gameplay yet.

Concur.

The BG&E charm and humor are dead. The very first trailer was disgusting Uncle Pey'j snorting dozens of wasps up his nose to eat them.


Now we get Assassin's Creed: Gaza edition and the whole thing has the "I need to take a shower" Duke Nukem Forever vibe.

That game was kind of edgy, actually. Shit got pretty real in some parts, if I'm not mistaken.

Well, obviously I have no complaints abuot the gratitutious level of displaced orphans in this video.

I'm just saying, BG&E was already reasonably dingy as far as video game plots go and there's nothing in this video that says there defiantly won't be any Rastafarian rhinos.

The plot contrasted with the colorful French cartoon art style, which made the creepy parts creepier through context.

This looks like the result of either something missing the whole point, or a genius marketing exec deciding to pull a Warrior Within.
