Mirror's Edge PC Trailer Gets Physical

wonder if they can do something to improve the combat. It was something I was looking forward to after the demo but all the reviews said it sucked.

What exactly will the deal be with this? I've not read up anything on physics acceleration since the marketing shitstorm that was the launch of the first Physx card. At the time I seem to remember the general message to take home being "These cards will make very little difference to anything other than the crappy tech demo games that are exclusive to them".

Will the features merely come with better performance through acceleration to Nvidia card users, or will it not be possible to enable them at all unless you're running an Nvidia card capable of PhysX acceleration? Which, according to that fine print at the beginning of the trailer, is apparently only the 9800GTX and above?

With PhysX's track record, and the relatively small amount of people who will actually own one of those cards, I'd guess this is going to make very little difference to most people. Unless there'll be some crazy way to hack everything inside of .ini files a la the Crysis "DX10 exclusive" features? Seems such a shame too with how pretty that all looked.

Whoa wait.. she has guns?

I thought the whole premise was she was an unarmed runner?

Things like this make me proud of the PC and put a smile on my face. Yeah the evolving hardware is a double edged sword in terms of cost and effort but it's never boring and I'll take it. It does lead to elitist thinking. I was going to write that those of you who kick back on your couch, feet up, simple controller in hand (or gimpstick as I call it) and bask in the glow of your 40" HDTV are the Joe Six Packs of gaming but things are not that simple. Today, there's a market and a platform out there that caters to everyone's wishes; kind of nice when you think about it. The next round of hardware may not offer nearly as much choice and with all the doom and gloom in the world economy here's hoping that the industries associated with gaming (both hardware and software) stay healthy.

I'm a PC gamer that loves his 360 too. This is excellent news.

I gotta say as someone who has already played through the game on 360, and this is admittedly just a peripheral observation based on the trailer, that these changes seem so subtle and the situations they are using to portray the advancements so circumstantial that I highly doubt they really make that much of a dramatic difference.

I know they shouldn't make much of a difference ideally, but in terms of aesthetic impact, I'm fairly confident I wouldn't be shooting flags or plastic walls very much. The one effect that I'm fairly confident will be cool to see is the smoke effects responding to movement, though.

I have a PhysX-capable card though so I can't wait to be proven wrong or right. Either way, it's a great unique game and I'm glad the port is coming as soon as it is rather than a year later. If I had to pick sides if pressed, I will always fight for PC gaming. Bring it on, I say.

she is ugly as f***

Alright! Now we can get the same repetitive look....with more detailed gameplay and better visuals! :D

I'm pretty impressed with the exploding blue tarp in the trailer. Material physics rock.

Cool, so if i want the full experience i better rush out and buy an Nvidia card...i think i'l stick with my ATI Radeon HD4870.

Improved draw distance really helps the game from how I was somewhat underwhelmed with the 360 demo.

What's the song in this trailer?

so glad I waited, I like the added clutter to the world..helps give it depth.

I less than 3 PhysX

Not convinced about Mirrors Edge, a demo may change my opinion.
