I’m ridiculously excited about anything even remotely related to Mirror’s Edge, including the game’s surprisingly compelling proof of concept footage.
Yes, current protagonist Faith has been replaced with a generic male character, and the cars and enemies look like they just stepped out of a Dire Straits video, but ME’s emblematic hyper-kinetic athleticism is vividly present.
Unsurprisingly, this version’s reliance on guns changes the game’s feel significantly. Current builds of ME have a very futuristic, innovative feel, whereas strapping a pistol into the character’s hands makes the whole thing feel like a bad Matrix clone.
