Mirror's Edge Dated [Updated]

Mirror's Edge Dated [Updated]
Written Thursday, September 18, 2008 by Dan Webb

Today EA announced that their first person, action, adventure title, Mirror's Edge will be available on November 11th, just in time for the Christmas period.

The DICE developed game is certainly shaping up to be a fantastic game and as a bonus, everyone will get a chance to sample the prologue and a segment of the single player game via a demo released on the Marketplace sometime after September 26th and before launch.

As a special incentive and reward for those that pre-order Mirror's Edge, they will receive a special exclusive code that will unlock a time trial proportion of the demo.

No word on what region that release date applies to yet because the 11th is a Tuesday which would suggest North American, however, the press release came from the UK office. A simultaneous worldwide release maybe? Let's hope so.

[Update] So after speaking to EA, it appears as if that's the North American release date and the UK (and Europe) will be receiving it on November 14th.

i think this is a bad move SOOOO MANY good games are coming out in November. Gears, Left 4 Dead, WotLK, then some other games. i would have made them release it in December.

Realistically this is the best time for them to put it out without delaying it 6 months till March.

Sure I don't think first week sales will be all that good looking but I think it will sell amazingly from just before December

i agree with #6, how dare a developer bring some innovation to the table, its outrageous!

I cant help but think that this game will be overshadowed though, its in the mid section of my games to buy, funds permitting i will definately buy this

This think this is gonna be awkward with the first person view on a platforming game - but it definately looks interesting.

#6 and #7 dont talk trash about this game, it's not even out yet.

I have definitely been looking forward to this game and it's a must buy for me. Only disappointing thing is that it now comes out the same day as Gears 2, which takes precedence over anything else in my life. I'll buy this first day as well but it'll have to wait about a month or so to be played.

If this is the case, why does the info panel on the side say it will be release on November 7th for both regions?

Speaking of demos only for certain regions... I called Xbox and asked them the deal with creating accounts in other regions, UK and Japan specifically. They said it is not a violation of terms of service and they really don't care if you do it. Google how to do it, I've got a Gold account for the US and silver accounts for Japan and the UK. Any demo you download on a foreign marketplace will play normally on your console, no worries.

@6&8, is there something wrong with a unique title??? proper shooters???? does that mean portal is no good?? fools.

If you suffer from Vertigo or "motion sickness", this game will make you throw up. The developers have spoken about how much effort they have spent to ensure the average gamer doesn't. Really bad release date though.

Portal sucked. wasnt even a shooter.

As for this game, the main character is horrible. Asian girl with white skin, ugly tattoos, and almost vertical eyes.

there are definitly a lot of games above this on my list. ie gears2 fallout fracture etc. but still looking forward to this game

Personally, this is a perfect time to be released. Mirror's Edge has already enthralled millions of hardcore gamers. Now, these same gamers will remain faithful and buy it.

At people not liking my opinion so be it but I aint buying a SHOOTING game to do a backflip and bounce of walls. If I wanted that id buy PoP.

#22, your not supposed to shoot. shows you down, no jumps, no shooting achievement

#19, Portal isn't a SHOOTER! You are a moron. First person games don't need to be shooters. Maybe you also think, Oblivion sucked because it's not a "proper shooter"

Comment #26 by Eighteen88
Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 08:40:12 PM

there were arrows and fireballs so it could be a shooter lol. but oblivion is actually my favorite game of all time ironically

@20 what do you care about how the character looks coz its a FPS type game and you dont see the character exedpt from cut scenes and plus @7+6 whats wrong with a new type of game in my opinion the gaming industries need more different type games

but i am totally looking foward to GOW2 and the demo of mirrors edge and the game which i have pre-ordered wooooo!!!

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
