E3 '07: DICE sharpening Mirror's Edge

Yet another reason: GO NEXT GEN! This is some serious Le Parkour Shi*

This will b333 the B3333st GAM3333333333 3V3RRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best thing on a game is the movement

cant wait

I hope they finally realize you can't jump from a straight still position and strafe as fast as you can run forward. But if this thing is like all realistic and adventurous, seemingly in urban environments, I think I'd love this game.

I wouldn't get too excited yet. There are allot of great developers out there. Why haven't they incorporated this in their games? It's easy to say they are going to do something, let's see if they can do it.

oh man, battlefield is already a great game, but now with better graphics, what looks like modern if not near future, great gameplay in a sandbox world? whens it coming out again?

Good! Maybe I'm the only one but i get really ticked in games where every character seems realistic and moving except... the one you play. i think its really time to move on from the fps of halo and counterstrike and to make something that is a more believable fps experience. Also, I'm glad that you will be able to see your Frigging feet in this game

It looks really buetiful. That plus a sandbox effect plust this movement thing, gonna be pretty sweet.

Seems like a game thats the same as any other fps, screens look ok though

A most intriguing prospect. I must check it out.

sounds good, cant wait for some more details

Screens look good, not enough details :(

not enough to really go on...

sounds good. although some support after game is completed would be nice. i wouldn't mind paying an extra 10-20 bucks on all my games if that happened

Tantalizing details, but so little to go on. I'm intrigued.

So you are a Traceur with a gun... sounds awesome cant wait to see more of this game

wow. if they can get rid of restrictions ike that and make a true sandbox game in a city that looks as good as the screen shots then thatll be pretty sweet

This looks amazing!

Looks pretty cool.

I look forward to seeing more on this game, any kind of improvement on any formula is a welcome addition in my book, as long as it does feel new and never before used.

Enteresting

Huh. The whole movent thing might be cool, but I hope they don't just focus on movent and end up crappy gameplay.

this game is gona be amazing! have you seen the screens in last months EDGE mag

Hope the PC version isn't a crappy port

yeah, it looks promising as long as it isn't just another online first person shooter with no real single player mode. don't get me wrong, I love the battlefield series and have spent countless hours playing it, but I have always wanted a game with a little more depth and this could be it.

Think of it as a mix of parcour and shooting. Like the intro scene to the newest Bond movie.

2142 was pretty bad, bf2 is great though so i hope they come up with the goodies again

this really looks promising with the history of them and Battlefield..

DICE is a good developer, I am going to watch this game closely

movement has needed revision for some time, games like gears siad no jump button, just context sensitive interactions, i feel this is the future of none UT games, so i'd like to see that refined and brought to a fps.

Sounds like they want to take the idea of freedom from Assassin's Creed and apply it to and FPS. :)

They haven't fixed BF2142 and yet they are expanding into other ventures. My take on EA/Dice is the same.......lame!

Now there's an interesting idea! Can't wait to see what they mean by "We want to change the way that players are able to move in first person" :shock:

Sounds interesting enough. Now if they could get some footage or actual news out about the game rather just giving vague explinations, we might be in business.

Would be interesting to see them hopefully reveal more on this sometime in the future.

Premature news.

Hopefully the Swedish PC Gamer will have more info when the next issue comes, Since DICE is Swedish.

Let´s hope for a new Pinball Dreams. :)

Sounds different

i would like to see it....hope it's good.

Well hope the new ideas work and no simple glicthes that always happen in the Battlefield Series. The glitches were to much for in BF2 so i just quit playing it.

New ideas I look forward too. Hopefully it will work.

I'm surprised GameSpot don't know more about this game, there's a whole feature on it in Edge Magazine in the UK (but then again, maybe it was an exclusive). I was sceptical about the idea but after reading the article, I'm quitely confident they can do something with this, despite my not liking battlefield too much. It's got a nice style to it too. Definite potential.

This is the kind of gameplay mechanic that is difficult to get right, but easy to screw up. Let's wait and see how it turns out.

sounds to me they are just putting animation in so that when you approach a door it automatically sticks an arm out which opens the door for you rather than just click a button and it swings open magically as present, same with a fence, instead of having to walk around a fence or pressing the jump button, if you walk up to it and keep pushing it will jump you over by having your arms appear, grab the fence and hurl you over without needing to press any button. That way you dont need a USE buton or maybe even a JUMP button which frees them up for other uses. I am sure i read this news from them about 3 or 4 days ago tho si not sure if it has already been announced.

Hopefully this will turn out alright. "Revolutionary" ideas don't always work too well.

So Prince of Persia movement in a FPS?

I guess it'll be like Mario, in mario 64, when he moves into a wall he begins to push it... but when link in ocarina of time walks into a wall he justs walks as if he was trying to run right through it. I guess it'll be something like that they're working on... but more advanced :P

Free roaming, parkour, online FPS, AWESOME!!
