Mirror's Edge Screenshots Look Familiar

Shacknews editor Chris Faylor got a look at EA DICE's new action-adventure IP Mirror's Edge during this year's GDC, and came away most impressed by its ambitious stab at first-person platforming.

The game certainly has a distinct visual style. Whereas many games are set in dark, dreary urban jungles, the city of Mirror's Edge is awash with light hues and sharp orange accents. And that's pretty much all we've seen so far.

There's a long way to go, though. Mirror's Edge is expected to debut later this year on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

I'm pleased to see EA is letting DICE do more than endlessly churn out Battlefield rehashes. That would be a poor use of resources IMO.

If they can get the first person view melee system working and fun, then the gaming industry is better for it. I almost always avoid it because it's hard for me to aim punches and kicks in FPS (although Fear almost made me good at it but not quite).

  I think Riddick had the best first person melee combat... Condemned was a very close second though. : dedgecko
  - I think Dark Messiah easily tops both. The combat is so fluid, and there is so much you can do. Condemned... : etherealrhythm
  - Gah... Riddick moved like a bag of sand. The best, hands down: Myke Tyson's Punchout. : jreid

That has a nice almost hyperreal look to it. I like when my games don't try too hard to perfectly replicate reality.
