>Endemol Shine Studios, the scripted division of Endemol Shine North America, has acquired the action-adventure video game property Mirror’s Edge to adapt for television as a female-centered action series.
Developed by EA DICE and published Mirror's Edge Catalyst by Electronic Arts, Mirror’s Edge is set in a quasi-futuristic dystopian society in which a network of “runners” act as couriers to transmit messages while evading government surveillance. The game’s main character and heroine is Faith, a runner and skilled warrior whose sister is framed for murder. The narrative follows Faith as she is drawn into the fight against the ruling Conglomerate and becomes enveloped in a conspiracy that could bring down society itself.
Endemol Shine Studios 2“We clearly see Mirror’s Edge as a franchise for the global TV audience,” said Sharon Hall, President of Endemol Shine Studios. “It has a strong female protagonist, a wildly rabid fan base and a worldwide brand that Electronic Arts and EA DICE have done an amazing job establishing.”

Huh, that might actually have some decent potential, although the story was never really Mirrors Edge's strong point.
It'll be shit but I'm in.
Shit game with shit story gets shit show
Vidya kino is just JUST

HYPE
As long as they lean heavily on the whole Parkour thing.
Why not a movie? There's hardly enough plot for a whole tv show.
This was a great game to play high
STOP WITH THE VIDYASHIT ALREADY
IT SUCKED THE PREVIOUS 500 TIMES AND ITS GOING TO SUCK NOW

>"and a worldwide brand that Electronic Arts and EA DICE have done an amazing job establishing."
They ignored the franchise for the better part of a decade before shitting out a half assed game.

>hot Asian chick does parkour for an hour every week
The entire internet will orgasm at once.

I imagine majority of the plot will be original content, and they'll just take the setting and Faith from the games.
They better have some good action/running scenes because mirror's edge has an extremely generic "corporations are running the world, and we the plucky young counterculture punks have to stop it!"

We want the Jessica Jones audience
>Faith Sulkowicz was raped by a corrupt government official and now needs to wage a war on the corrupt misogynist government.

It's hilarious everyone talks about the story when in the extra features the devs mention the story was hacked together because there was some problem with the original script.
>>70066463
The TV show could actually make a good story up for the show. No need to write it off just yet.
didn't anita sarkeesian work on this game?
>>70065924
So NOW that they've made a sequel nobody likes do they think that it's the time for a fucking TV show about a game with barely any plot to begin with?
Who makes these fucking decisions? Why are heads of media companies these days so completely fucking unaware???
>>70066598
That's just /v/ shitposting
Mirror's Edge "looked" great (in 2008) but wasn't it a flop why is it getting a sequels and a spinoff?
Is it just because it's so hard to find videoshit with an asian female lead?
>>70066659
It still looks great, bub.
>>70066532
I really like Mirrors Edge so you can hope but in terms of story, it's pretty much just a setting. Evil government but in a utopian city
>>70066598
She mentioned the control scheme limited people's (women) access to the story and then did a talk at the developers studio
>>70066659
It enjoyed critical success and had a loyal fanbase that had been asking for more since because of its advanced movement mechanics, it's uniqueness in gameplay and style and the fact that it captured the 1st person aspect so much better than the average FPS. It's getting a sequel because that fanbase kept the hype alive only to see it be dragged through the money-making Blando-meter Sequel Shitter, like every other game franchise that has name recognition or a devoted fanbase.

>>70066659
As for why it's getting a show, who the fuck knows?

On top of that it had a pretty solid following in the speedrunning community because the mechanics allowed for some really cool ways to work around the game.
Try watching a speedrun for a few minutes, there are some awesome techniques to break the game.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FUCK NOOOOOOOO
>buy popular franchise & indie company that made it
>make worse sequel
>make even worse sequel with multiplayer
>gut indie company
>make into shitty movie
So EA's adding a new step into their company's usual process of ruining something good while milking it for all it's worth?

She's going to be played by a white woman.
Pretty easy to justify too, her name is already Faith Connors.
Asian women will never lead a major western production, just look at GitS.

They better have an asian girl. I need a new waifu
