>less than a week til launch
anyone excited for this?
no one?
>>339667249
Most people were chicken of the fierce vertigo the first one gave if you were afraid of heights.
I loved the first one, just hope they improved the fighting.
>Anita sarkeesian
>One of the key developers
>>339667664
Nope
>>339668019
And protected by Denuvo.
A perfect recipe on how to kill a game.
>>339668019
Source for this? I know she talked to DICE a few years back but is there proof she had any involvement in the development of Mirror's Edge.
>>339667909
I think they did, though from what I've heard they've removed the ability to use guns entirely
I've already pre-ordered it; like you I loved the first one
I'm willing to risk it
I would be if I didn't already know EA will ruin it like they do literally every sequel they publish
>>339667249
I want to be but I can't

I loved the first but its to much
>>339667249
you can play it right now on the xboner. its okay, i wont spend much on it though, i like the first more
>>339667249
>EA
>Some bullshit leveling system where you need to unlock the ability to climb certain pipes
No. When replaying ME1, I realized it wasn't nearly as good as I remembered it to be.
The beta ruind this game for me. I'm a great fan of the first ME, but I'll probably won't buy this game.
It looks like ME, it sounds like ME and it plays like ME, bu it's not ME.
The artstyke is ruined, the open world is just a series of paths, the sotory looked generic and retarded and irt run like shit on my PC, and thats a pretty bad sign because most of the time nothing is happening on the screen.
>>339667664
I was in closed beta, it's alright without being revolutionary. I'll buy it if I have money to spare at some point
anyone want to make predictions?
will it tank worse than Battleborn?
>>339669295
Tank? I doubt it, but it won't do amazing. The first game wasn't a big seller, either.
This game isn't next to another rbig release as far as im ware, battleborn mucked up by releasing alongside a titan's game.
>>339669295
I don't think it will, it doesn't really have any competitors like battleborn did afaik
>>339667249
God she's so hot. I think I'll buy it because I wanna give it a chance but it will be hard not to fap
>>339667249
Another pre-rendered course run where the standard gameplay is ddr and boss fights consist of clicking a single button at a prompt? Oh and they took out guns too to make combat entirely screen prompts? Hired an internet "game critic" with no actual experience to influence the actions of a billion dollar company? First person platforming where the interactions are based on jumping towards an object and hoping your position number is accepted by the game to tell that you pulled off a sweet move? 9 levels and 4 hours of gameplay?
Sounds fun AND exciting for a cool gamer like me!Dying light did everything better concerning parkour/spoiler]
>>339669750
lucky you,
you only get to see her in the cutscenes
your hands will be free
>>339669776
it's funny you mention Dying Light
I'm in the middle of playing it; it will be interesting to compare the two side-by-side
>>339669776
>clicking a single button at a prompt
Someone wasn't invited to the beta
>>339667249
No, because it's an EA sequel pumped out by a studio that doesn't care (see: BF4 support prior to EA LA taking over, BF Hardline support, BF1's existence) with special guest Anita.
There is a fairly good chance it'll be shit, so I'm not hyping it.
If it turns out good, I'll be happy - but I'm not going to work myself up for failure.
>open world
>gameplay shows all the main missions have good level design while the side missions are just space takers
>open world itself is boring as fuck looking because its all rooftops
>skill trees to lock out movement, surely making story missions designed for retards because advanced movement is locked
Didn't they reduce parkour and combat to single button presses because the original game was too hard for girls to play?
I'm excited.
I think I might pay for a date with some lucky china town grill to celebrate. We'll play video games, pick up Mirrors Edge Catalyst merch, and enjoy the game together.
It'll be perfect! What could go wrong?
>>339667249
This game comes out on the 7th? I legit had no idea.
I'll be busy playing the new patch for FFXIV anyway.
>>339670379
I'm not sure where you're going with this, but I like it
>>339670282
Nope, I played the beta and I don't know where this information come from. Combat is similar to ME1 in that you have to pull off combos. There's a move you can use when you have maximum 'flow' that allows you to run past/through people, but you have to have a fairly long windup
>>339669951
Somebody didn't play the first one and get disappointed by the Ropeburn buildup only to kill him with a single click, same as every enemy in the game
This one is going to be more of the same, multiplayer differences aside.
>>339669812
You underestimate my obession anon. During the beta I sometimes just let her hanging from a bar and start swinging just to check out her legs
>>339670904
I thought we were talking about ME2, but yes, the ropeburn fight did suck. We did fight Celeste 1 on 1 though.
>>339670904
>playing ME for the combat
I don't think I can wew hard enough
>>339670812
I'm actually just being honest.
I want asian funtime happy ending. Can I be more racially forward?
>>339671338
nope, you've made it pretty clear
>>339671125
The combat is the only thing that takes any skill whatsoever, without it and you might as well just watch a youtube video or program a script to press the buttons at the right time and run the pre-determined paths.

>>339667249
It's a shame how it's 3 steps forward, 2 steps back.
The first time you run through an area is much more fun than it is in the original Mirror's Edge. This is contributed to by two things: first off, the mechanics are much smoother to transition from one move to the next. Some of the animations and movement in the first game just felt too disjointed from one another, and Catalyst does a lot better for making movement feel great. The second factor is the structure of the world. It favors more for traversing the area, and when you stand on a roof, you can look down and see several different paths that you'd want to take. The first game had great freerunning areas once you got them down, but often they were unwieldy the first time through due to have one janky path to follow that you wouldn't be able to flow through without knowing the right way ahead of time. Catalyst did well for improving flow while not losing design. This is all tested through the cutthroat side missions, which are great for challenging the player's grasp of the game.
Mechanically, the game is absolutely sound in how you progress in the level and it's top tier once you turn Runner Vision off. It just doesn't do well in just about every other facet.
The main point is how mature Faith is in both personality and skills. One moment she's a raging, inexperienced young adult, while the next she's supposed to be one of the elite runners that stands at the top of the chain. It makes it hard to really root for the character or enjoy playing her when the only thing that remains a constant is being an insecure bitch. Then the skill tree makes you question why the "best runner" wouldn't have the ability to tuck her legs in by default. Finally, the story is abysmally half the first game and half generic anti-corp dystopia
I enjoyed the beta, but only running around the city. I don't expect to see myself paying more than $20 for this unless it turns out the story missions are great.
The simplified gameplay and skill tree unlock system killed my hype. They had to make the story levels while knowing that players wouldn't have access to every ability, which means they'll be dumbed down. Probably have "branching paths" that you can only take if you have a certain ability.
>>339673260
The skill tree thing seems like such a massive oversight, I have no idea how that made it into the final game. It singlehandedly dropped me from "definite purchase" to "maybe on sale some day"
why does she look like a tranny now?
>>339673260
Nope, they're less skills and more upgrades
what's that like, four hundred dollars worth of merchandise?
That's not too much shilling, there are worse offenders.
>>339673454
Implying you wouldn't have female:happysex with her.
>>339667249
honestly, nah
would have been if it came out like 2 or 3 years ago. at this point it seems irrelevant
>>339673478
Things like tucking your legs to jump over fences or roll to survive a high fall are included in the tree. They're "lock you out of certain areas" skills, and the levels need to be built with this in mind.
>everyone in this thread and last thread shitting on the "simplified gameplay"
You weren't invited to the beta, were you? It's identical to the original, and yeah the skill tree is shitty but you can unlock all the basic things within 30 or so minutes. I can overlook it seeing how it actually lived up to my expectations when I played.
>>339667249
It's gonna be shit compared to the original.
I might still play it when it goes down to $5 in a couple of years, unless its an Origin game.
>>339673830
This
>>339667249
They could have shit out a game every 2 years on the same engine with new story and levels, I would have been fine with that. I'd buy it for $25-30, but no more. It's been so long, dunno if I'll ever get this one.
>>339674049
Guess you're not playing itu
>>339674206
Is it out yet? It's either this or DOOM.
>>339667249
>skill tree
>open world
why EA always do thing NO ONE WANT!??
>>339674428
Because you could either put more funds into your game development, or you could lock half the map with an unlocked ability and use the same areas twice.
>>339673816
please tell me you're joking
>>339667249
For a sequel that I wanted so badly, I never thought I'd be so uninterested when it releases. The beta and the theme song killed my hype.
>>339674672
I'm not joking. They supposedly put the skill tree in because they say it helps girls learn the moves better if they're unlocked one by one.
can someone post that pici madewhere Mirror Edge chick is standing on top of a tower and there is a Assasin Creed "sync" button prompt and there are map icons underneath on a map everywhere?
i didn't save it
>>339674881
But you MADE it.
SPOOKY.
>>339675023
i saved over it or smth
>>339667249
I would be if she was waifu status but i'm not going to buy games with ugly mongoloid characters when they used to be cute but were changed for no fucking reason. Principles.
>>339668272
It's made up bullshit. She spoke at some dice convention and a bunch of people signed a petition saying to remove her from development. Dice responded by saying she was never helping in the development
>>339669906
I just bought it as well and holy fuck everything from the animations to the combat is just awesome. I love this game so much. And night time is a scary as fuck. The developers really deserve a medal. Top 3 all time for me
>>339668019
This is not a place I put my money
>>339668163
x2!
>>339673816
The rolling unlock is to just make the landing faster, you can still do a soft landing without the roll unlocked but it's not an elegant roll, more just a slight stumble. Takes 5 minutes to unlock.
My question is, will any of the skill tree skills be mandatory or is the game finishable without them?
If the latter, blunder of the millennium.
>>339674861
Did they just make a feminist game about female power and then embody the patriarchy by telling women they learn more slowly then men and need help playing against men?
If I was a woman I'd be fucking pissed at this pandering.
>>339673704
id kiss that pouty face
>>339675632
You unlock lots of stuff through main quests, so I believe you can finish the game without unlocking much
playing the beta or whatever that was sort of killed the hype for me.
the big marquee mission was decent enough, but the stuff around it was seriously lacklustre. the 'open-world' was dead, the player created races weren't particularly appealing, the delivery missions were okay...
playing through that beta and then seeing that i'd played like 20something percent of that game was a bit of a shock.
i'll grab it if someone bypasses denuvo or when it's deeply discounted but at full price it's not worth it.
>>339675730
He's lying, why would you actually believe that?
>>339670379
Unf! The ME1 Faith design was so much better.
>>339676401
She a look-e like Kei from Akira.
