Earlier this year NVIDIA announced they would be bringing their in-game photography tech, Ansel, to a whole range of games as the year rolled out. It's incredibly cool, and you can take some remarkably gorgeous shots with it.

Alternatively, you can be a massive dickhead like me and check out everyone's dental work.

NVIDIA's new Ansel capture technology went live in Mirror's Edge Catalyst this week, giving players a new way to explore, capture and share EA's gleaming city of glass from simple screenshots to full 360 degree virtual reality shots. Every game needs this.

If there's one thing every costume in Mirror's Edge: Catalyst has in common, it's that they all look like they walked right off the runway of some sci-fi fashion show.

The loading screens in Mirror's Edge Catalyst are full of throwaway jokes, but one really caught my eye while playing last night. "If you see a rat the size of a car, you're playing the wrong game." Wait, what?

For a game about daredevil stunts and high-flying acrobatics, Mirror's Edge Catalyst plays it remarkably safe.

Near the entrance to your base in Mirror's Edge Catalyst, two young cyber-runner rebels have taken the aphorism "practice makes perfect" to heart.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst hasn't hit store shelves yet, but that hasn't stopped one company from wanting to turn the free-running Faith and her wall-running habits into a TV series.

Once upon a time the internet was beating down EA's door for a Mirror's Edge sequel.

Now that we're on the verge of getting one, it feels like no-one really cares. This is a shame because it looks kinda awesome.

Damn, this is really cool. Also: how weird is it for a video game to have a theme song by a band you actually know instead of some obscure group you've never heard of.

Good job Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

Video: I played a few hours of the Mirror's Edge Catalyst closed beta over the weekend, and it was a lot of fun! You can watch me jump around like a parkour ninja -- as well as smack into a few walls -- in the video above.

Briefly: EA has just announced a slight delay for Mirror's Edge Catalyst. The new release dates are June 7 for North America and June 9 for Europe. This is the second delay for the free-running first-person game, which was previously slated to come out in February but then moved to May 24.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst seemed like one of those games that was never going to happen, a sequel to a beloved game that wasn't exactly a best-selling hit. Fans who have been waiting for more beautiful free-running are happy that it's coming out soon, but some don't like how it's handling its upgrades.

Mirror's Edge: Catalyst is sneaking up on us. It comes out on May 24 and I feel like we're too busy playing Dark Souls III and thinking about Uncharted 4: A Thief's End to notice.

Here's 17 minutes of gameplay to remind you that this game exists.

Here's another 2016 release that's flying under the radar: Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

Reminder: it looks bloody gorgeous.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is one of the most anticipated games of 2016 and with good reason: it looks great.

Here, have a story trailer. It has a lot of story.

I'm one of those people who could forgive Mirror's Edge's sins. It remains one of my favourite games, one I still play regularly, and a big part of that is down to its soundtrack.

At E3, we got a peek at gameplay for the series reboot, but now, here's a look at an in-game mission. A five-minute look, that is.

When the developers of Mirror's Edge Catalyst introduced their new game at E3, they mostly focused on how players would be free to explore a large open world. Cool, I thought. Good. This is a good thing.

Oh thank goodness. During EA's E3 press conference, the company said that Faith "doesn't need any guns", which prompted a collective sigh of relief so powerful that it nearly levelled the city of Los Angeles. However, there was still doubt. She might not need them, but would guns -- perhaps the single worst aspect of the original Mirror's Edge; clunky, unnecessary, at odds with the rest of the game's forward-motion-heavy philosophy -- still be around?
