Uh Oh, Mirror's Edge DLC Gets Pushed Back to February

Uh Oh, Mirror's Edge DLC Gets Pushed Back to February
Written Wednesday, January 28, 2009 by Dan Webb

Big Download are reporting that the Mirror's Edge DLC that was set to hit Xbox Live tomorrow (Thursday 29th) has now been pushed back to Febraury.

An EA spokesperson told the AOL owned site that "to offer a completely smooth experience for players, DICE announced today that the DLC map pack for Mirror's Edge on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC will be delayed until February."

I'm not sure what DICE mean by "smooth experience", but announcing a date for DLC and then unannouncing it and delaying it does not make the experience go any smoother.

Sorry folks, I hate to be the bearer of bad news ... especially when I was looking forward to get my teeth stuck in to this myself.

That was late, surely they knew it wasn't going to be ready by today.

Ha ha @ bordsy - I was going to add that but because it's a free map, I couldn't see why they would delay the full, costly DLC pack because of it :P

oh man, I wish they'd add to the story, time trials are fun but not great.

amen #8 I borrowed the game and was going to go for 1000/1000 and after playing like 4 time trials, I was over it. The game play is much more fun.

If it's DLC, it's going to be delayed. This has almost become a law of nature.

Just means it's cheaper for me this month, cos I only have to get the Fallout 3 DLC this week...

Finally EA wise-up. Blatently to avoid getting beaten up by all the higher-profile DLC out right now. Far less competition in Feb (I think!).

I think they only did it because they stand no chance against the Fallout3 DLC. Not much DLC news is released for next month. Maybe if they hold it back more people are likely to download the ME DLC then.

At least February isn't that far away. I guess i'll manage.

Aw sucks :( I was really looking forward to this pack too. At least there's all this other great DLC that will keep me busy for the time being.

@33

Yeah, I agree that Mirror's Edge is high quality, but you definitely should get Fallout 3, especially now that the DLC pack is being released. It'll give you plenty of time to kill until this DLC is released.

typical EA acting...

" now we have a good game with even better dlc, shall we let game-owners down ok?" "cool, that sounds great" that was the conversation between two people who are in charge of mirrors edge dlc

@ post 20:

Then why the hell are you reading this article?

@ post 27:
GTA 4 DLC releases in February. Either the 7th or 17th I can't remember. Plus I think I saw that Prince of Persia DLC comes out in Feb.

That blows. I sold my copy back after I got all the achievements and beat down the time trials, but I wouldn't mind getting it back for the DLC.

Far Cry 2's Title Update including the new Hardcore Mode was delayed too.

Some people just dont know how to deliver.

Poll

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!
