 | Comment #1 by Up The Saunders Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 05:06:57 AM Excellent News! |
 | Comment #2 by Medaking Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 05:12:44 AM Oh lord I hope this is decent cause thus far it looks boring |
 | Comment #3 by DeathCow Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 05:14:15 AM Just beat it. Was pretty fun, even if I wasn't very good at it. All the gameplay videos so far make it look easy, it's not so much as difficult, so much as trial and error most of the time. |
 | Comment #4 by mikeh88 Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 05:17:47 AM I can't wait to try this game. The demo will make me decide whether I want to play the game or not |
 | Comment #5 by Briggy666 Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 05:29:52 AM This game looks brill- i reckon its 100 percent buying for christmas- i like it too coz im a bit of a free runner :D |
 | Comment #6 by GeneralIzor Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 05:53:26 AM Wonderful news ! now i can try it out, dont know if i'm going to buy it...yet |
 | Comment #7 by Hells Zargon Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 05:56:17 AM I'll have to give this a go sometime over the weekend. That's if I can resist picking up a copy of Fallout 3, Dead Space or Far Cry 2. |
 | Comment #8 by Expressbishop Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 06:03:43 AM This was really fun. Can't wait for the whole game. I was kind of afraid that it would be the same thing over and over again but I feel that it probably wont :) |
| Comment #9 by ThePakirow Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 06:11:03 AM downloading right now ... i trust in this game ... great potential |
 | Comment #10 by Initium Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 06:30:40 AM I enjoyed the demo but I will wait for reviews before buying it as it seems a lot repetitive. |
 | Comment #11 by hoernchen Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 06:33:15 AM Yeah, really as good as i pictured it to be. The Demo just assured me to pre-order the game today. Guess GoW2 will have to wait for some days/hours when Mirror's Edge is out. :) Btw, did anyone get the Time Trials to work or won't they be available in the Demo at all? Would be nice to try out one or two of those... |
 | Comment #12 by knockton55 Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 06:51:20 AM I loved this Demo, has definately secured a purchase for me. Hoernchen, Time Trials are only available for people who've Pre-Ordered already I think?? |
 | Comment #13 by Webb Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 07:00:25 AM @ 12 - How does it work? If I preorder now, will I get a code straight away? Anyone heard anything about it because I'd go and preorder it RIGHT now just to get the time trial :P |
 | Comment #14 by Untitled1 Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 07:15:30 AM I didn't like it, seems like it'll get repetitive. |
 | Comment #15 by Yakobpk Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 07:33:51 AM Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait to try this out after work. |
 | Comment #16 by Smugu Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 07:35:42 AM WOOP WOOP WOOP |
 | Comment #17 by Destiny900 Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 07:50:53 AM Great demo, I underestimated this game since it is FP but I really enjoyed playing the demo. |
 | Comment #18 by beezelBug Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 07:52:54 AM watching the gameplay vids on tv have left me with a headache. I get the idea of the perspective viewpoint but I hate the foot/hand zipping into view in combat. Still I'll check out the demo, maybe its a case of easy to play, queasy to watch |
| Comment #19 by GeneralIzor Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 07:56:49 AM Good demo, good demo. |
 | Comment #20 by Ninjamonkey6493 Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 08:13:18 AM So many Demo's so little TIME! |
 | Comment #21 by loldart Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 08:22:12 AM nice but I can't play it today I get a date with Dead Space |
 | Comment #22 by blayde Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 08:36:22 AM I'm totatlly not buying gears 2 (not that I had any intention of doing so) this game look like it wil be soooooooo awesome cant wait getting demo now and im gonna go preorder later CIAO |
 | Comment #23 by rockhopper Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 08:46:21 AM I had already preordered this game a month ago and tried the demo on PS3 because it was released a day ahead. Will try it on 360 now. Can't wait for the game. Faith is hot! |
 | Comment #24 by SuperGaz Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 08:47:06 AM demo, thats more like it. wasnt expecting this but i imagine it will rock my socks. |
| Comment #25 by v3N0m27 Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 10:58:04 AM Got the demo earlier and played through it two times back to back. Easily as fun as it looks in the videos, just earned itself a pre-order =) |
 | Comment #26 by Yaeyah Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 01:18:00 PM Just played through it 3 times in a row. A lot of fun but I do have the feeling it may get a bit repetitive but still, definitely worth at LEAST a rental in my mind! |
 | Comment #27 by Zacxx201 Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 02:09:48 PM Too Repetitive for me canceling preorder. |
 | Comment #28 by MrGuileful Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 02:34:54 PM I SHALL BE GOD AT THIS |
 | Comment #29 by Mozza FTW Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 03:13:59 PM Lol why are people talking about putting off GoW2 for this??? Played the demo, wasn't the most impressive game I have played but it was ok. GoW2 is a midnight at asda on the thursday joba loba for me ;] |
 | Comment #30 by geordiedeviant Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 04:51:13 PM Downloaded it, played it. Looks the business and looks like it could become a must purchase. Kick Faith to the curb, Celeste is where it's at now boys. ;) |
 | Comment #31 by ConorMullarky Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 05:11:42 PM It's everything i wish i could do... without having to go out in the cold... xD |
 | Comment #32 by Unkle Rawkus Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 08:01:14 PM I thought the demo was awesome - even though i kept dying. It was still a blast to play. Even after dying so many times i kept wanting to try things a different way or push myself to get past a certain part. Cant wait to get this one. Good thing EA has DICE cause they dont have much of anything else. |
 | Comment #33 by Denny Crane Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 08:18:49 PM r u serious, how could u think this game was good. you people need to grow some fuck objectivity and open your eyes, no sane person who isnt a douche thought that demo was good |
 | Comment #34 by CrAcKdOwN360 Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 08:55:22 PM WTF? It wasn't that bad, you just want to be different. Just cus everyone else likes it doesn't mean you have to despise it. Talk about reverse peer pressure or what? |
 | Comment #35 by TqureX Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 09:40:58 PM Played it this game is a must!! Very clean look to the game. |
| Comment #36 by Denny Crane Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 10:04:12 PM @34 No. running aroung aroung and jumping onto buildings doesnt make for a fun game. and just because you sheep all flock to terrible games in droves doesnt mean im "trying to be different". a game simulating someone taking a shit would be less repetetive and more interesting and exciting. oh and crackhead- get over yourself. |
| Comment #37 by Unkle Rawkus Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 10:08:38 PM yeah the only douche i see in this post is the shitidiot named denny crane BTW i hope thats not ur real name. THIS GAME (so far) IS FUCKIN SWEET!!! |
| Comment #38 by Unkle Rawkus Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 10:15:00 PM Dummy Crane probably couldnt get past the first jump ya'll- thats why this game is so terrible to him. Its okay little guy u can do it, just keep tryin |
 | Comment #39 by shaitanpt Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 10:36:19 PM the demo kinda sucked for being too small... but the game looks better and better each passing day! |
 | Comment #40 by ROA5T BeeF Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 11:41:40 PM Yeah Denny Crane, I bet a game where you RUN, JUMP, RUN is almost as repetitive as one where you SHOOT, RELOAD, SHOOT. Not to mention the one you describe where you SHIT, PUSH, SHIT. |
| Comment #41 by Diaxen Friday, October 31, 2008 @ 11:43:30 PM Demo was incredible! |
| Comment #42 by Unkle Rawkus Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 12:27:43 AM LMAO Good one ROA5T LMAO |
 | Comment #43 by OGsmokeTICAL Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 05:25:53 AM @11 and @13 Go And Pre Order at Best Buy and it will have a code inside the box to unlock the Time Trial Mode. I would imagine all places taking pre orders would have this, but i know Best Buy does cause I got one. |
 | Comment #44 by xTHSx Rascal Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 09:15:40 AM i love it im going to buy it also if you pre order you get a code then on demo you can enter code after accepting ea t&c P.S Denny crane got ROA5TED LOL |
 | Comment #45 by biggestmuff Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 10:44:25 AM Denny Crane thinks Mirror's Edge is repetitive, yet he plays drivel like Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Douche-nozzle. |
 | Comment #46 by Darth Heyburt Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 11:32:28 AM Dear Denny Crane, Learn to talk properly, then have and objective opinion. Regards, Heyburt. P.S Until then, stick to MUA. |
 | Comment #47 by MadMartign Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 12:31:27 PM I agree with Denny that the game isn't good. But I have reasons other than "its repetitive". First, the controls are clunky as hell. Second, why first person? I get that they are trying to be innovative and what not, but the viewpoint does not lend it self well to what is really just a 3d platformer, and not a good platformer at that. And of course.. slow motion. Really? come on now, thats the best power you could come up with for your super innovative game? Slow fucking motion? thats NEVER been done before... right. all in all this game is a pile of mediocrity. |
 | Comment #48 by Konman Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 12:42:15 PM to add to what Agent # 47 said.... the fighting is really clunky and how can u disarm the guy by waiting for weapon to turn red when the screen is red from other dude shooting you... |
 | Comment #49 by squirreltakos Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 04:52:58 PM denny crane is right... you guys are shitheads |
| Comment #50 by MrGuileful Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 06:51:35 PM just played it, its fun as hell, i dont know how anyone can say from a 10 min demo that its a repetitive game... now i'm extra excited to play it |
| Comment #51 by geordiedeviant Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 06:56:27 PM @MadMartign Did you message the Braid dev and tell him his game was unoriginal for the time bending? I think not. As others have said, It's a demo. The video after you finish the demo (you've finished it right?) shows a different side to the roof jumping. Ever ran away from someone? The demo perfectly captures this with the music, the visuals and the tension it brings. I for one can't wait to play the final version. I just hope it doesn't have certain annoying bugs in it like when you slow time down and occasionally the sound screws up. DICE in my eyes have done good. Carry on your trolling. :peace: |
 | Comment #52 by Capocci 007 Saturday, November 01, 2008 @ 07:17:17 PM the demo was ok but this game will get repetitive ... this hasnt earned itself a purchase yet |
| Comment #53 by MadMartign Sunday, November 02, 2008 @ 01:01:19 AM @geordiedeviant The time controls in braid were extremely different than what you are seeing here. the slow motion in this game just feels tacked on. and again two totally separate games. Braid being a sidescrolling platformer not based in realism at all, and this , well at least from the way it plays and realworld physics and what not, trying to be realistic. So, your argument holds no water. |
 | Comment #54 by KIDDRAGON67 Sunday, November 02, 2008 @ 01:57:14 AM screw this shit! it's a rip off of assasins creed with the jumping and stunts! not to mention the stupidest charector for it. played the demo and thought what a waste of time dl'n |
 | Comment #55 by SteamingClown Sunday, November 02, 2008 @ 03:35:13 AM Awesome Game, I cannot wait til this comes out - it's about time a truly original game was released. |
 | Comment #56 by Kankui Sunday, November 02, 2008 @ 05:54:42 AM I loved the demo! Can't wait to have the retail for Christmas! |
 | Comment #57 by PerpetualHeaven Sunday, November 02, 2008 @ 09:02:45 AM I personally loved this game. The game is extremely fast paced. I love parkour, so this was instantly a must purchase after I played it. I don't think it's repetitive at all. Some people obviously won't enjoy it because you don't get to shoot people. Regardless, I love how quick the game handles. You can't play this game slowly at all. It's sprinting all the time. |
| Comment #58 by geordiedeviant Sunday, November 02, 2008 @ 03:30:29 PM @57 "Some people obviously won't enjoy it because you don't get to shoot people." You've played the demo right? Snatch a gun and then shoot someone. |
