Mirror's Edge reflects on Unreal Engine 3

PS3 News from N4G | Mirror's Edge

PS3 - Mirror's Edge - Mirror's Edge reflects on Unreal Engine 3

Although they have an in-house engine for the Battlefield series (Frostbite), EA DICE has gone with Epic's mega-popular Unreal Engine 3 for the Parkour-inspired Mirror's Edge. According to the development team (via Electronic Arts PR), the reason was that the Mirror's Edge project began early on in Frostbite's development, so they decided to use the more-developed Unreal technology instead.

DICE is also developing "a new lighting solution that truly makes Mirror's Edge stand-out visually." If you haven't had a chance to check out the trailer, do so now.

7 things we learned from first Mirror's Edge...

PS3 News | Mirror's Edge

1) Parkour isn’t just for 12th century assassins. Couriers make excellent use of this French style of movement as the main character of Mirror’s Edge proudly shows us:Take the hint, UPS!2) Faith's bust can't be bigger than an A cup. Seriously, anything over a tiny B and we’d be seeing cleavage from the first-person perspective.3) Dramamine prevents motion sickness and it also makes you ... » Read More

Mirror's Edge: More must-see shots

PS3 News | Mirror's Edge

EA has released more screenshots of its surprise game of the year contender Mirror's Edge, which looks as fit as a butcher's dog.Half of the images look like artwork, but you can plainly see the look and stance DICE is going for in its "first-person free-runner", which slants heavily towards first-person melee combat - and yes, jumping across big buildings.As noted the last time we spoke about it, it's supposed to be visceral as hell with melee ... » Read More

Insultingly wicked Mirror's Edge shots

PS3 News | Mirror's Edge

We didn't quite know what to make of DICE's kung-fu combat game Mirror's Edge when it emerged in magazine previews last year, but after reading the latest eyes-on reports we're absolutely excited - insultingly so. It's being described as a 'first-person free-runner', basically putting you on the top of a skyscraper and pitting you against helicopters, snipers and an endless army of armed goons. Set totally in ... » Read More

Mirror's Edge: "Gaming might never be the same again"

PS3 News from N4G | Mirror's Edge

VG247 saw Mirror's Edge, the DICE-developed first-person free-running game, at GDC last week. According to the report, it was one of the most impressive games at the show.

From the piece: "The first-person free-running of the female protagonist is astounding to behold, and we watch as the entire crowd wobbles and leans in response to the running and leaping on-screen. With just a press of a button the demo-player is able to skid underneath pipes, or vault over them. He can vault fences and can flow leap across rooftops into a run with a single crash roll. Never has an FPS tracked inertia and human movement in this way."

PS3 - Mirror's Edge - Mirror's Edge Sounds Pretty Great

The latest issue of Edge has the scoop on DICE's upcoming first-person action...jumping...thing, Mirror's Edge. First up, it's not a shooter. Instead, influenced heavily by parkour, they're calling it a first-person action adventure. Huge levels will allow you the same kind of free-form exploration and athletic tomfoolery as a game like Tony Hawks or even Crackdown, but with much finer control. Don't think the lumbering cops of Crackdown, think Prince of Persia.
