trailer and gameplay for mirror's edge

[taviow]

We love you Simon! We're your biggest fans!

*taviow throws his underwear on stage*

 

[MJ12]

Hmmm not the biggest fan of the colour scheme. Main character is a bit meh too.

^This. I dunno, the gameplay could be fun, but my guess is that it might just be overly linear and repetative.

 

[Sedako]

I wish it were that easy, I don't think they would like it much after leaking something at dice

Well, since people seem to think you were referring to yourself when you said "ME", how about some info about yourself? What is your role at Dice, and how is it working for the company?

 

[Tagaziel]

Granted, 2D games withstand the test of time better than it's 3D counterparts but like you said, to most people who enjoy these type of games for the first time, it won't have the same magic as it did to others before. For the people who've already enjoyed it once, they won't mind re-treading through mainly because the feeling of nostalgia clouds their mind and creates a bias view. You remember this game being the 'best game ever' and your mind will likely replay it as such, allowing you to re-immerse yourself and avoid any faults that would stop most new players.

Oh for ****s sake.

It isn't about nostalgia, Fallout, especially 2, is a great game, objectively.

1. Powerful, balanced character generator
2. Great writing across the board, from dialogues, through narration to descriptions and holodisks
3. Unique concept - frankly, how many retrofuturistic post-apocalytpic RPGs with a 50s vibe you have?
4. Art direction - cohesive and appealing

It's a great game, and the biggest complaint about it's low resolution has been recently destroyed with Mash's resolution patches:

Tweaks allowing to change the speed of game and combat. So stop whining about slow turn-based, download the tweaks and start playing.

I mean hi. It doesn't matter how great of a game it is nobody cares. Hell how many people here have actually finished HL1? btw apparently EB in Aus is selling F1/2/Tactics for $15 kgo kids.

New age Sonic.

The colours, they match his games as well D:

Around February / March last year I was surprised to find a mail from DICE in my inbox. Because of my work on Off Limits and my portfolio (which also had city levels) they hired me to work on their next project (which was in the big city as well, which you all have seen in the trailer now), so I basically went from one city to the next and from Source to Unreal3
I'm a Level Artist on the project (One of my levels is what you saw in the first half of the trailer, where she free runs over the rooftops).

Working at DICE and living is Stockholm, Sweden has been a lot of fun so far, but very stressful as well (since we are pushing lots of overtime for this game atm). Here's a picture of the main work area where we make ME (yes we call it M E .. I wasn't talking about me ...):

and the DICE studio (the big black building, not the boat ) (floor 8 and 9, not the whole building):

There's a lot more pics on my flickr account which is linked to my website for those who want to see more ;p

Gotta go to work now

Ey Simon, I think I met a DICE guy once, can't remember his name, last year I worked at Webhallen AB and one of you DICE fellas was up discussing some BF2142 promo with the boss of the store, I only managed to say hi and ask how it's going but he seemed nice anyway.

I live in Stockholm too by the way, S?dermalm.

 

[simon]

I went to Webhallen the other day for a quick thing, I myself live in G?rdet.
I guess Stockholm isn't that big when you think about it

 

[Gargantou]

It really ain't once you get used to the city, but then again I've lived her my entire life so I'm kinda well-accustomed to the city and could navigate it blindfolded aslong as I knew where I started my journey from.

 

[Ravioli]

Havent been there in a few years, anyone know if Matrix and Inferno Online are still open and good?

 

[theotherguy]

Oh for ****s sake.

Well, that aside, I could only stand the game for about an hour, after which I put it down out of sheer frustration at its slowness.

 

[Synthos]

This game looks like it's a spiritual successor of ONI. Shooting, Hand to Hand, and new and very well done acrobatic play. Plus with the asian woman paragon

Timeslip FFS. His tweaks allow ADD people to speed things up.

[Deleted member 56031]

I've got to say I've never heard of them before.
