FINALLY!

From the looks of the trailer, with Faith getting her Tattoo's, it looks like the second game will tell the story of how the events of the first Mirror's Edge happened.

...how can it be Mirror's Edge 2 when it's happening before the first game? I HATE when movies or books or games do that.

I guess they kinda wrote themselves into a corner with making a sequel.

Spoiler

I mean, everyone but Faith and her sister are dead by the end. And there's no real motivation for her to keep being a runner and all.

Oh well. Can't wait to pull off some sweet movies. I hope they've added wall shimmying ala Splinter Cell and other trac...tracue...whatever. Parkour moves.

UPDATE: DICE's next-gen Mirror's Edge is in the "early stages of development", fresh information from EA has revealed. It'll launch for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The game will serve as a reboot for the franchise and tell an "all-new origin story" for heroine Faith. "We introduced Mirror's Edge and Faith to gamers five years ago, and we've waited for the right moment to reunite them," said producer Sara Jansson. "Thanks to the Frostbite engine and a new generation of platforms, we are now able to deliver a richer world that players will be able to explore with a new level of freedom in both movement and action."

ORIGINAL STORY: Battlefield developer DICE has announced its much-rumoured Mirror's Edge sequel on stage at EA's E3 2013 press conference. The game is "Coming... when it's ready," a teaser trailer stated. Mirror's Edge (there was no "2" in the game's logo as previously expected) looks exactly as we'd hoped - free-running sections, hand-to-hand combat and lots of stylish red and white surroundings. The original game's heroine Faith was also shown to be returning. A Mirror's Edge sequel has been rumoured to be in the works for some time. It recently popped up on several Amazon websites, and then EA's own website. Oops.

"I can tell you one thing," he said. "It's a very different Mirror's Edge experience than the first game. "Obviously as you saw in the trailer there are some things that will clearly remain the same. We're not going to break what the game was good at. But in general, though, there are some changes, which are for the better I think."

Quote:

Söderlund promised developer DICE won't turn Mirror's Edge into a shooter, but did confirm that Faith will be a more powerful character than she was in the first game. "The first game was a lot about running away from things," he said. "And, even though you want to have sections with that, you also want Faith... she's a powerful character and you want her to take control. You'll see a little bit more of that in this game. "Again, we're not going to turn this into a shooter. On the contrary, in fact. But we are going to evolve Faith and the story. Once we show more of this people will be genuinely excited. I am personally extremely excited about it."

Quote:

"We knew we were going to come back to it one day, and we've had a small team on it on and off in conceptual mode. Not until Sarah approached me and [General Manager] Karl-Magnus Troedsson and said, 'I have something I want to pitch to you guys,' - we got that pitch and I was amazed by what she showed us. I said, 'yes, this is it. We're now going to do it.' "We were waiting for the right idea. I'm so excited that the idea itself is so different and spectacular that it can only work on future machines, like the Xbox One and PS4 and PC. That's when I knew we had the right idea."

One of the best looking, artistic games this gen.

Hoping that they will develop this with Oculus Rift support for PC. I think it would be incredible.
