PC Xbox 360 PS3

Digital Illusions offers a variety of concept art for its upcoming Mirror's Edge awaited on PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The abondance of colors is catchy, a welcome change from the boring filters used by many other developers.

No quite sure, but I'm loving it! The art is really amazing, atleast...in these screens.

I'm assuming these are bullshots atleast, especially when reading the previews of this game regarding it's visuals, which definitely don't rhyme with what we're seeing here. But I'm hoping the game can come somewhat close to this in the end.

The gameplay really intrigues me, and worries me at the same time. I'd really like to see them pull this one off. Here's for hoping!

I really like the style too. I'm glad the game isn't JUST on rooftops, I like the kind of variety I'm seeing here.

It's nice to know at least a few western developers can still make colorful games.

the chairs looks a bit crap, really the second one is the only one i dont like, the rest are great tho, no better then what you get from other places. but great non the less.

in the context of the game, its just a tube station i understand, so its a bit boring, not really showing anything. but i love the way the metal looks so real just by sutle highlights and the wall looks so smooth and real i know exacly what it feels like and can alsmost feel it myself!

and yeah, theres alot of great concept art for other games too, which i also think is amazing. game artists are very talented!! i wish i could do what they do!

OMG.

Finally I'm excited by a game. It's been a while now, but boy does it feel good.

GAH. I have massive hopes for this now, it just seems SO right. If they can nail the smooth parkour thing, then I'm sold. A nice touch is the angle changes of the POV, which is far cooler (if a bit weird) than the normal, static FPS view. Probably make it seem as if you're actually looking from the characters eyes.

This is random, but has there ever been a game where if someone punched you, you could see the fist filling the screen?

might be a sweet game if the animations dont suck ass. But for some reason, i can already picture the animations sucking...oh and if it actually looks as good as those screens. need gameplay videos...

This game is pretty much awesome looking... Style is something that hasn't really been seen, and the vibrance of everything is more then refreshing =) And to all those haters saying these are bullshots, yes, they are, but their better then most =) mostly the AA is higher, but thats about it, the rest is tottally doable, and even the AA shouldn't be TOO bad.

Could be cool, but I'm not going to hold my breath after the exercise in tedium that was Assassin's Creed. Semi-automatic parkour doesn't make a game.

AC did a bunch of stuff right, but yeah, ultimatelly its a flawed game to the point where it suffers.
but this could turn out AA

I thought the main character wasn't supposed to be able to use guns?

I imagine the color scheme is used to indicate points where the character can perform special kinds of moves, on colored places you can do stuff like wallrunning or run across a crane to another rooftop, on non-colored areas you can't. The positioning of the colors reinforces this.

Not if she doesn't have to. They won't lend you submachine guns, assault rifles, RPG...etc. this isnt your typical FPS. Guns will be there, but the developers want to encourage you not to use any.

I think this game looks cool, but it all depends how it all looks in motion during gameplay.

PS. I like how Faith looks like.

This is quite a game I can't wait for news ^^ bring more, please. Looks very cool, need to see in motion. And yeah, she looks cool. So, will she be the only playable character? Ore will there be more?
