Mirror’s Edge Gets Release Date!
I can’t describe how excited I am to play this game. When you think FPS, the running/climbing sport Parkour might not be the first thing to come to mind. That being said, EA has developed a game that blends those two elements.
Taking place in the future, Mirror’s Edge features a Runner (information courier) named Faith. With an amazing amount of stamina and agility, Faith can run around the city, leaping from rooftop to rooftop rushing to avoid danger. She doesn’t get any weapons to start but she has some advanced hand to hand combat skills. The heavily armed troops pursuing her carry guns but are quickly (and brilliantly) disarmed – their weapons becoming hers. Keep in mind, though, that Faith isn’t trained in firearm use so sometimes weapons are more of a hinderance than a blessing. Her aim may be off and simply carrying a gun will weigh her down, affecting her ability to run and jump slightly. Don’t worry, she can drop your guns at any time for more speed. Developers took Faith’s lack of weapon based experience into consideration and made it possible to beat the entire game without firing a single bullet. There will even be a special achievement for doing so.
A North American release date of November 11th (November 14th for Europe) has been confirmed by EA. This game will be mine as soon as it is available. Anybody else interested in getting it? Hit TehForums and let’s discuss shall we?
