Mirror's Edge gets release date News

Ooh Wipeout HD, King's Bounty for PC and then a Mirror's Edge demo. Very good next week.

WOOT! Demo!

/orgasmo

Time trials - what a good idea... I still don't know why I'm anticipating this game so much, but I am, so something is working (suspects subliminal images in trailers...)

This and Endwar are two games I definitely want to play a demo for before making a purchase decision, so good on DICE for getting one out this early.

PC gamers shat on once again :(

Fuck you, EA.

PC released AFTER the console versions? How very lame. No doubt they need the extra time to cripple it with DRM.

Fracture demo up on XBL today too.

Fracture demo today, Mirror's Edge demo next week, Burnout Paradise update and bikes add-on... they sure make it hard for 20GB x360 users to keep up :)

/casually checks size of Alone in the Dark demo - 1.3GB you say???

Everyone was playing nice, then along came JonFE.

Fuck you JonFE.

meeeeeeeeeeeh... does this game come with a sick bag, all the demos vids have made me feel a bit queesy!!

So, PC version delayed to sometime not right before the WoW expansion then. Kind of makes sense, from a business standpoint, I'd say.

It might not be so bad when you're controlling it all.

Maybe.

yeah, a demo is vital for me on this one too!

@ Gnort

I can heartily recommend playing a demo of EndWar. I was in the beta and so glad of it - cancelled my pre-order at the end of it...

OT - awesome and unexpected news! Shall await with baited breath.

TBH - I'm very (repeat VERY) surprised to see this at all in 2008. I had this down for Q2/09 at the earliest....

Still, I guess the PS3 owners will need something else other than LBP to keep them occupied over the festive season.

I too am glad there is a demo of this, definitely seems to me to be a "try before you buy" kind of game. Therefore I shall try to decide if I shall buy.

@bioreet

+1 socom... beta has saved me £40

Glad there's a demo because this is one game I've been really looking forward to but at the same time can't shake the feeling that it's all hype and no substance.

Not so pleased with the release date though, right slap bang in the middle of the Saints Row 2/ Fable 2/ Dead Space/ Fallout 3/ Left 4 Dead/ Banjo: N&B avalanche of games. Just as well I got a raise yesterday!

too bad its released the day after Pure - I will be otherwise engaged for the foreseeable .......

"Just as well I got a raise yesterday!"

What in your pants?

"Just as well I got a raise yesterday!"

What in your pants?

I've got one now ;-)

I honestly didn't except this to come out this year for some reason.

This is exciting!

Do people preorder just so they can spout about cancelling them on sites like this?

I have a cock and some balls in my pants.

PC_Gamers : Et tu DICE ??

I feel stupid for asking, but just why is it that there is so much hype behind this game? I've seen all the trailers, and am just - well, meh.

What's so good about it? Please, someone enlighten me.

Wipeout HD and a Mirror's Edge demo on the same day? Sounds like a dangerous amount of awesome.

edit: whoops it's not the same day is it. Actually after reading the press release on another site I think EG may have got this one wrong, it doesn't sound like the ME demo is being released next week at all.

be annoying if this is the same demo that was at Leipzig. Already played it twice, enjoyed it, yes, but another level would be nice.

From what I've played, I can't really say anything other than the fact it plays really smoothly, someone tried to interview me and that was about all I could come up with XD

Oh cool and if it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't have known about the Fracture demo either. Thanks guys!

Oh and I too was involved in the EndWar beta... besides the constant disconnecting of losing opponents it was still pretty shitty! Bring on World in Conflict.

@gingerlink:

I wouldn't get too excited. I doubt their main concern with the demo is not boring people who've played it at games shows. That's what the full game is for.

Me looking forwards to this one very much.

Cant wait to play demo

You are surely taking the piss PissArtist - appropriate nick by the way. I would try and justify my comment, but you're not worth it; your comment was uncalled for...

Such a big man, swearing and all...

*Books sick leave for next friday*

Personally, a shooter (sort of) that isn't all blacks and browns and doesn't feature guys in POWER ARMOUR is what has me interested in this, I don't know about everyone else...
Plus I like platforming. Never been done well in FP, but if it ends up anything like prince of persia (in terms of flow, and breathtakingness), it could be brilliant. Demo much needed still!

Hmm, looks sort of like a first person Oni to me with extra jumping and look how well that did. Still, I'll give the demo a try.

Awesome! I am really psyched for this game and hadn't expected a demo so early. (Well, I hadn't really foreseen a demo at all, actually.) Let the Christmas video game season begin!

I think your demo date is a little off...

shamblemonkee,

You might really need that sick leave after playing this game

Looks like GAME have added the correct release date to Mirror's Edge on their website.

It seems you can now preorder it with a wicked looking free medium or large Mirror's Edge t-shirt.

Radness

Never really understood why people pre-order stuff without waiting for reviews..

EA has been in touch and there was confusion in the press release: there's no date for the demo yet - the 26th was the pre-order date for the full game.

The demo is definitely due out before launch, though.

Errr... i'm sorry but on the press release, where does it exactly say that the demo will come out on September 26th? cause it doesn't sound it will come out on that day:

Guildford, UK – Sept 18, 2008 – Take a leap of ‘Faith’ this November! DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced that the highly acclaimed first-person action adventure title, Mirror’s Edge™ will ship on November 11th for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system. The PC version of Mirror’s Edge will ship later in the winter. Prior to launch, players worldwide will get an early peek at the game when the demo* becomes available via Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace and PLAYSTATION® Store. The demo will feature the prologue of the game including the tutorial and a segment of the single-player story mode. Starting September 26th, players who pre-order Mirror’s Edge at selected retailers will get an exclusive code that unlocks the Time Trial mode in the demo.

Ah bummer. That was just mean.

Am I the only one who thinks this game is more hype than substance? I don't see the appeal at all.

I'm surprised it's coming out so soon after being shown for the 1st time, though. I guess they're not going the Sony route of showing a game 10 years before release? :p

For Pete's sake, when did PC become a fucking Mac? For the past year, nearly all developers are reluctant to talk about the PC version or demo as if it was their retarded brother who needs his drool wiped away regularly and who can't figure out what stairs are for.
