EA: Mirror's Edge 2 In Development

Following word from EA CEO John Riccitiello that the Mirror's Edge franchise will continue, Electronic Arts has confirmed that a small team is now at work on the sequel.

"You will see another Mirror's Edge for sure," said EA Europe VP Patrick Soderlund to Videogamer. "It's just a matter of when that time is and what we do with it. We have a small team on it and I'm excited about what we do."

Originally planned as a trilogy of games, the franchise's sequel potential was called into question after the disappointing debut of Mirror's Edge last November.

DICE's parkour-inspired, first-person action title was released during the crowded holiday season to lukewarm reviews and slow sales. The title went on to eventually pass the 1 million mark, despite DICE's sales target of over 3 million units.

"The game wasn't perfect by any means," said Soderlund. "We would have liked the game to sell better even though the game has sold better than most people think."

DICE: Take the frustrating gun combat out of the game and evolve the most interesting aspect of your game, the parkour. Create more interesting world based navigation puzzles and you have a winner.

Loved this game, so feeling like it's too short was twice as painful. The ending was some major WTF too, but the overall experience was awesome and I eagerly await the second.

I am so glad they are making a sequel. The game was very flawed, but hopefully they've learned from the mistakes of the first game and apply it on the next one.

Rental. I made the mistake of purchasing the first one. While it was decent, it just felt more like a rental to me. Once you get over the pretty pictures and cool perspective there's really not much else to it.

I hope they make her feel more fluid in her movements. It felt like I was controlling a robot with stiff joints. I mean, for a girl whose job it is to run it took her an awfully long time to ramp up to full speed. Two steps for me and I'm running as fast as I'm going to go -- it took her like 10 steps.

If they sequel dumped combat entirely (meaning, making you run from people, not eliminating threats from the game), and just used the in-game engine for cutscenes instead of the weird shitty animated ones, I think it'd be pretty sweet.

Also, they need to include more time-trial maps like the DLC.

I've actually got this out on rental at the minute, but can't bring myself to finish it (think I'm on chapter 7).

The first 2-3 levels were great, then after that I'd seen everything and it was same-old same-old. The story is pretty uninspiring and I don't like the cutscene style (they should get the guys who did the inFamous ones in)

I think they need to include more set pieces and get more adrenaline pumping - sort of like the way the Unchartered 2 on-stage demo played (i.e. miss a bit, you die straight away, not get stuck in a room until the cops shoot you to death).

More 'splosions too.

I really loved this game, played it on PC though (played later on on console and it just didn't feel right, too hard to move around easily with the pad).

It was and is truely gorgeous, one of the best looking games around, and the gameplay was smart and original, I hope Dice is making the sequel.

The game was awesome when I could just run. The jumping puzzles really fucked over the flow of the game. But I enjoyed it regardless. Here's to hoping they learned from the first one.

I hated this at first but after getting a feel for the mechanics I LOVED it. (ps3 version) Loved the art direction, music and voice acting too. The story needed some work but... but it was a solid experience and something unique. Gamers that whine about the "same old thing" in the FPS genre should embrace this game and give productive feedback to Dice so more games like this can succeed in the future.

One other thing: If they had structured the training levels like Valve did in Portal I think the game would have been much less frustrating in those early crucial levels.
