Wait the disclaimer said "man arm meshes." I don't know about you guys, but that voice sounded manly too.

poisonedsodapop

This is the coolest. Video. Ever.

Fadakar

@Shteve: HA! I get it!

mackincheese

I think a girl for this game would make more sense since girls are more acrobatic

ManlyVGnoob

Gah. Age Gates on T-Rated games.

riffleraffle

@vid3oman64: >< Of course, as soon as I complain about it...

It sure was short. Showed some cool ideas, but it doesn't really get the whole game across. I'm sure the whole clip they showed to their superiors was longer... it woulda been nice to have seen that.

vid3oman64

Okay, jumping off the side of the truck was kind of awesome. But what was the point of hanging on that fire escape? Giving those cops an easier target?

Aethyr

...it won't load for me. D:

vid3oman64

Didn't know that shooting while anging from a ledge was that accurate. My choice would have been to cover behind a car while getting steady aim.

Guess I'm too down to earth.

Shteve

im glad they went with the feminine look. the man hands are ugly.

kilikafinal

hehe, that obviously dates from before they decided to have a female lead.

Laho

It's like a creature out of Greek Mythology.

KSPRAYDAD

Mantastic.

Surfaced

I hope it's fun. Some of that stuff looks cool, but would leave you looking like swiss cheese.

peacefuloutrage

Er... did you read the title of this post? What do you think "Man Hands" was referring to?

IleneAntion

I actually kinda like the zero-texture, all-white feel. Maybe they could put it in as an easter egg.

It's quite an impressive concept trailer, although like others said, I'm also glad that there isn't as much gunplay in what Mirror's Edge is now.

Santa_Lock22

@HELLSRIDER: forgot to mention I hope its not really that necesary use guns in the game, cause I dont think thats the fun in the game and caus I may want the achievement for not using them in the whole game.

HELLSRIDER

Its good they didnt show that as a first trailer. It doesnt look as good as the almost final product.

HELLSRIDER

@Intellectualdiot:

That was in the next room, they just didn't show it here. Tearing apart a lobster while firing off shots at aggressors that are mesmerized by the man-hands.

SG_Mahonay

@Aethyr: I think it was so he could see his targets. But yeah, definitely just makes it even easier to see him...

Mit

Glad they put less focus on the shooting in the final version. It just slowed the player down.

jaymac

They didn't want to have to pay Seinfeld royalties so they changed it.

SG_Mahonay

Am I the only person who was thinking of Seinfeld the entire time they watched this video? The only thing missing was Faith decimating a lobster.

Intellectualdiot

I don't really like how Faith looks....to me she looks like a Chinese prostitute. It might be that tattoo under her eye that mainly contributes to that, but overall to me she seems like that.

DrowningInMercy

@peacefuloutrage: Yeah that kind of sucks. It really affects me. Maybe if you're the one playing it you won't get sick.

SamCity

after this game is made, I would like to see them use this engine for a sequel to Breakdown....anyone agree?

Cornerb0y

@DrowningInMercy: To each their own, I guess. Personally, I think she's the most attractive protagonist yet.

Raziel

@riffleraffle: The content wasn't rated by ESRB.

Raziel

wow that looked really really bad. they should make a hard mode where everything's textured white or not at all :P (except for the people maybe)

EaGle1337

@Shteve: I actually thought that was sick. I wish more action adventure games had easier mid-range combat. For the sake of fun in an action game, you shouldn't need to be right in a guys face shooting him in the head to kill them. A game where you have very accurate (and therefore less accurate to real life :}) gun mechanics would be fantastic.

Putter5

Awesome video. They should leave the man-arms in the final game as a cheat code or unlockable easter egg...

天

@peacefuloutrage: I loved Portal but it also brought me close to puking. MIrror's Edge looks even pukier. I hope there'll be a demo so that people like me can test if their stomach can handle it.

JumpmanSenior

To the people saying that this looked really bad, do you even know what the hell "concept" means? Of course it looks crappy, this is a video to show the idea, not an actual product.

stupid_mcgee

@HELLSRIDER:

Have you not seen where the "gunplay" consists of takedowns for individuals caring guns? You never carry the weapon past the encounter with the person using it.

gahazakul

@Aethyr: The point is we're watching Mirror's Edge here, not Rainbow Six.

Lightman

@Cornerb0y:
You could consider this an unofficial spiriutal sucessor to Breakdown. Afterall, EA owns the European publushing rights to it.

beem

Reminds me of The Matrix.

Crosswayboy

@stupid_mcgee: yes i do but this was really bad. heck i got a hold of the hl2 beta that was still on goldsource.

EaGle1337

man it sorta made me motion sick watching that. really interested if they can pull off that feel in the final product though!

giovonti

I don't know why, but for some reason this trailer has sold me more than any other.

furiku

@Crosswayboy: Funny because this concept would work great for a Matrix game. Too bad the Matrix games have a horrible track record.

Nexus6

Man, screw gamevideos. They seriously need a new hosting plan.

Sunjammer

Why the hell did I have to go through an age gate to see that.

Kenny

@EaGle1337:

OF course it looked bad, it's a proof of concept. Duh!

Gervy

I know they didn't want yet another FPS, but this proof of concept looks better (concept wise) than the real game, IMHO.

Gervy

@JumpmanSenior: According to this ([www.digitalgames.fr] (French)) there will be a demo (tomorrow?!).

JumpmanSenior

@EaGle1337: ....what? you are comparing a Beta to a Concept?

FATDAN

Sort of makes it look like "The Matrix: The FPS". lulz.

Harfold

@ManlyVGnoob:

Which is why parkour is a male-dominated sport?

Mact

@Mact:

I mean... how about how the guy got up on the ledge to begin with...?

Mact

@Shteve:

That's the one thing you find unrealistic about this game?

0_o

Mact

Mmm.. Imagine Alicia Sacramone instead of Clockwork Orangette as the main character.

What, is it too late for an Olympics reference?

//backflips away

magilacudy

I would expect a girl who does her work to have worn and calloused hands. As well as plenty or bruises and scrapes.

MonkeyBiz

@Cornerb0y: I concur. =3

VergessenHeld

Proof Of Concept is done before there's even a game. Before there's a development team. Before there's funding. Basically you're taking your "idea" for a game, quickly mocking it up so you don't have to EXPLAIN everything in words, and present it to the publisher. It's a pitch.

AbdulClam

Gotta love Matinee.

Barbara

Is this what the Wii version would look like?? I keed, I keed...

I hope more of this type of Gunplay makes it to the final version. That Desperado style backwards leap from the building whilst firing looked hella cool.

J-Fro

@peacefuloutrage:

Reminds me of Breakdown. :c I wish they'd make a sequel to it or something...

dreamparacite

@ManlyVGnoob:

OWNED!

Warrior_Within_

I hate the game videos player. It is so slow. Is their server located in China or something.

Ceezsa

you have to admit its a great concept.

joeloliol

@poisonedsodapop: and the rest of the body in the beggining too.

Snaaaaake

Killer8.

blue bed

that was a great proof-of-concept, first-person modern assassin's creed type of game play, love it. the running around and finding crazy ways over/to stuff was what i liked about ac anyway, the assassinations was too repetitive, hopefully they get it right with this game.

SnigdhaFapack

A fine suggestion, that I second.

MarlandLawlipop

yeah, this game is totally breakdown, and no one realizes it but me

Tyrant104

hmm, looks like breakdown, just like the final product. breakdown was am amazing game and EA will make people think that ME is the first game of its kind...

Tyrant104

its kind of unreal how faith does not get shot at all during the whole clip, even bolt couldn't run unscathed from semi-automatics
