Mirror's Edge team praises tilt controls, Cell architecture
"The other thing is the Cell really allows us to push the resolution of our textures much higher and we've taken full advantage of that as well. So there's a lot of little quirks to it that we really like and our engineers love as well as our designers." However, Decker wouldn't go so far as saying the PS3 version is superior to the Xbox 360 version -- they're simply "different."

OMG how many times do i have to say it Your a Messenger for some organization. Point of the game Get the package delivered Or Die Trying. U get to use guns but it effect gameplay (Weight, cant grab edges or w.e use your imagination.) Hopefully it will have multi-player kuz that would Rock face! Free_running across buildings shootin ppl with a sniper then sliding down the side of a skyscraper to cover.

Why are they all afraid to say that is more feature rich and more powerful than the failbox? M$ has goons or something?

because they dont want to provide fuel to PSlaves like yourselves !
anyways looks like a unique and promising game, have they said anything about the expected release date ?

goons? probably, that was part of their anti-trust case for their business practice. I wouldn't doubt they still use that practice.

Is Dice busy, or what? When is this game coming out? Looks cool, so I'm interested. You've gotta admit it looks kinda Portal-ish, from the lead character being a female, fps puzzle/platformer game, minimalist art direction, etc.

its business man. You dont want to say that one version is better than the other, especially if its the 360, because thats at least 60% of the games sales. So you praise PS3 to makes sonyboys happy and you say that the "other" has its own advantages not to upset xbox owners.

im not convinced on this game yet...i really like the graphic style but ive never seen a 1P platform game work well...might make more sense to make this a 3P game...i guess we'll have to wait for a demo to really see how well controls will work...

YET they always talked about how the games looked better on the original Xbox and we all know that PS2 was the supreme machine.
I'm telling ya it has to do with M$ being all bitchy about it

Watch the demo footage again. You'll notice that they use the color red all over the place and you make a connection with it. Your shoes are red, the pipe she runs on is red, there's a red door and 2 red pipes coming out of the building she jumps towards...
I can see this working out well for the player. In a game where they let you go anywhere, it's nice to have clear direction sometimes.

The screen's dont do it justice. Just D/L the HD trailer from the (euro) PS store. I was plesantly suprised, looks really interesting. Dunno what it is cant quite put my finger on it, but this game/trailer looks pritty damm cool. I think its the mix of art direction (the clean and shiny futurestic look) and music working together, plus the interesting combat. Definatly a game im keeping any eye on. Only thing that worries me is the EA logo at the beginning :S We know how EA have been treating PS3 games, hope they dont screw another one up, though the comments above by Dice are good to know and comforting. Cant wait for more information!

The game looks really really interesting, but the first person view puts me off… hopefully there is a third person mode in the final game, or maybe I’ll just have to get used to it.

I bet you anything something will go wrong with the PS3 version. Though I will be buying this for PS3. I haven't touch my 360 in a while. Saving it for GoW2, OMG I can't wait. Then MGS for PS3. DAM it's a good year.

I bet you it won't :)
They sound very confident. It's hard not to notice.

These devs always sound confident. Then at the last minute everything falls apart lol. Pls. don't take as an insult towards the PS3, I am getting this for PS3 as I mentioned on my first post.

Be a little wary. when a developer comes out boasting about features on PS3 it has in the past meant they are trying to cover up for something in other areas (witness the GTAIV lower res PS3 version yet loads of 'we love the PS3's look' from the devs before release).
I think positive PR before a launch keeps focus on those things (sixaxis, hires textures etc) and less on the frame rate and screen resolution.
I'm not saying that's definitely what's going on here but it has in the past, and I only own a PS3 now after my 3 360 died and I had enough. I now detest 360 purely because of it's failure rate so i'm not some fanboy pretending to like the PS3.
I hope this game does deliver, it's pretty original and looks like nothing else out and I welcome that.. .hope they can pull it off and keep it above 30FPS and at least full 720p (PS3).
Don't care about the 360 version as i've long given up on that piece of crap hardware.

it's called send your 360 back and get a brand new one *gasp* for FREE.
The hardware must not be that bad if almost every single video game developer chooses to make their games for it. Time to stop kidding yourself friend. You can't tell me there's not one time that hasnt gone by that youve regreted your purchase and wished you still had your 360 because there's been some games you want since you got rid of it. Unless of course you don't play games and only like to watch HD movies

I understand ihatebioshock when he is sick of the hardware. Though I play with my PS3 more, I still love my 360; well maybe b/c I have not had any problems with it at all (2 years of excellence).
My Wii on the other hand I'm sick of. I gave up on that piece of junk and gave it to my GF. The Wii is a fad and I fell for it too. No games to my interest except Mario Galaxy and Wii Sports, the only games I found actually different from the GC and Addictinggames.com. Just like the Motorola RAZR, dumb but hot.
