Video: Jumping Mirror's Edge gameplay

by Dustin Burg { Aug 21st 2008 at 4:30PM }

Fresh from the Games Convention comes new Mirror's Edge gameplay footage depicting a few solid minutes of action packed running, jumping, diving and climbing. The first "Energy Plant" gameplay video (embedded above) shows off some rather sexy moves and acrobatic sequences all ending in a watery slip-n-slide. The second video (after the break) is a bit less exciting and kinda shows what happens when your jumping skills aren't up to par. It's Mirror's Edge video goodness, now go watch.

gotta love how bright and helpful those red boxes are. even in the darkest places.

You see through the eyes of faith.
Anything red is considered 'runners vision'
something she'd be able to use to move.

They're bright so you notice them

...read before you post man

read what? i'm only looking at what i see here, so i'll post however i damn well please.

runner's vision, faith. whatever. red boxes so she can jump in the dark, i get it. they are a helpful game mechanic. still doesn't make it less silly to me.

sweet jesus that looks awesome.

Need to see what the fiance thinks though... 1st person tends to make her motion sick.

In the full retail version of the game there will be small dot(s) on the screen you can turn on to draw your focus to one spot and keep the head bob from making you sick.

I don't think I'll be able to play that. I was getting a little motion sickness just watching the preview video.

This game gets more interesting to me. I'm sure I will check it out.

That's it, I'm buying on launch day, no questions asked.

I haven't read much about this game, but the trailers that I've seen it looks like it's a game of nothing but running and jumping. Is that suppose to be fun? It seems like it should be on XBLM, not retail.

so... that sweet first video we all saw was fake, because the "real" gameplay videos look like CRAP!!

Jonah Falcon @ Aug 21st 2008 9:35PM

Looks different due to the scan rate on the monitor.

Jonah Falcon @ Aug 21st 2008 9:36PM

My main issue is that the game is "on rails", that there's only one correct solution, rather than multiple tactics.

jon @ Aug 21st 2008 11:17PM

this is a must have...well i mean wen i get the money lol. just a poor college kid. :)

w00t! Mirror's Edge is gunna be amazing, I'm sure of it now. I've been waiting for months for new videos, thanks for the link X3F! :)

It seems like it is going to play like a rhythm game of sorts which might be cool. Kinda like a racing game, but on foot.

On the other hand as cool as it looks it might give me a headache to play, and so I think I'll try before I buy(e.g. rent.)

Oh and gameplay not conducive to multiplayer means not much replay value besides to show off...

Still I think this will be an awesome game to rent and I am looking forward to it's release!

There's going to have to be a demo of this for me to buy this game. Too many element sof it make me think it will become too repetitive. The first person element looks to have been implemented well but there needs to be more to it than what i've seen so far.
