Mirrors Edge demo

[Maddog]

so the demo's out. I thought it was pretty cool but took a little getting used to. I didn't get the hang of combat too well but I think it's the type of game I would want to run through and to use a gun if I can help it.

anyone else play?

Lemme guess, the demo is 360 only for now...

[Maddog]

PSN has it too

I was hoping for a PC demo.

hahahahaha but then you'd realize how fun their game is and just pirate it

[ScAvenger001]

Dude, shut up! You're giving away my whole plan!

[Maddog]

they include a time trail section in the demo but apparently you need some code from EA which I assume you get when you preorder

beat

time trails seems like it'll be the big draw / replay value of the game. I'm by no means good at those sorta things but I'd still do them if we had some sorta OTF competition.

Just played the demo. I was really impressed, I'm going to get it. This is the kind of off-beat game I need right now. Music is really good too.

There's not very much content there right now though.

Honestly this game and Little Big Planet have the same kind of effect on me. I love the concept and I'm extremely happy new, innovative ideas are out there but I don't think either is for me. Novel and cool yes, but the soundtrack was really the only thing that stuck with me. Although the look of the game is very unique as well.

Ok, played it for an hour. Uh, the combat system is still um...hard. Also sometimes they really don't give you very many hints about how to get certain places, but that's probably because I'm not thinking like a parkour runner yet.

Wow. The combat system is STUPID is what it is. I spend half my time restarting from save points just because I mashed the disarm button .000000001238 seconds to late, so the guy beats my face in.
