Gamezine: It's time to experience Mirror's Edge in the third-person.

Mirror's Edge revolutionised the platforming genre by introducing it to the first-person view - a view that had traditionally been relegated to shooters. But how would the game have looked if it was played in the traditional third-person view? Now you can find out.

Electronic Arts is the focus of attention for both analysts and gamers as 2008 is closing. The publisher, which is already facing stiff competition from Activision Blizzard and Ubisoft, has seen worse than expected results in the last month, deciding to lay off more than 1,000 people, about 10% of its workforce, while also closing down or consolidating a lot of studios, including Need for Speed: Undercover developer Black Box. New intellectual properties like Dead Space, a space based horror shooter, and Mirror's Edge, the free running DICE developed title, have failed to make the impact that the company had hoped for.

Some analysts believe that the recent news shows how the publisher missed the start of this console cycle and needs to rethink its strategy in order to create successful titles.

Couldn't get enough of Mirror's Edge for the 360 and PS3? Little Effie still has our heart-strings all tied up (maybe that explains why she was always on the run) and Electronic Arts knows it. Borne Games has collaborated with EA DICE and released a one-level beta of Mirror's Edge 2D.
It's pretty much what you'd imagine: You control Faith from a 2D side-scrolling perspective, using the arrow keys to perform wall-walks and slides with the S key used for jumping. Despite the short length, the character animation and details are top-notch, and the controls are easy to get a grip on after some practice. That's one definite improvement over the console version.
Mirror's Edge 2D is still in it's infant stages but it's easily comparable to the addictive Portal flash game. We look forward to more details…and of course, more time with Faith. After playing the beta, feel free to leave your feedback at Borne Games' site.

"The demos of Mirror's Edge and Too Human had strong online showings in 2008, but the full versions failed to captivate Xbox Live users in the same way, according to Microsoft's annual rankings of top-played games.

Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb posted the rankings to his blog on Sunday, showing that the Mirror's Edge demo was the 12th most popular game for Xbox Live members. Its full-game counterpart was nowhere to be seen on the top 20 list."

2008 was a departure for Electronic Arts. The mega publisher best associated with their annual sports games and dependence on licensed products and established franchises instead released a number of original, brand new titles this year... and some of them didn't exactly light up the sales charts, Mirror's Edge in particular. Still, despite the lagging sales, EA CEO John Riccitiello has stated they plan to continue the franchise, and many other new properties, going forward.

"We're very pleased with a lot of our new franchises this year," Riccitiello said during an investors conference call yesterday (via MTV Multiplayer). "We think Spore has established a strong base for being an ongoing franchise. We think the same of MySims. Dead Space looks like a long-term big winner for us. We expect Warhammer will continue to perform very, very well, it's life measured in multiples of years, not multiples of months."

Retail checks have been coming in that indicate EA's stylish first-person action game Mirror's Edge has fallen short at retail.

But despite the game's commercial performance, EA CEO John Riccitiello assured that the company isn't canning the new series.

"Mirror's Edge is one that was very strongly reviewed, that one's going to go forward," said the exec during a conference call. "We're probably going to look into some issues around the design to make sure strong IP is married with strong business."

Reviews were generally favorable, earning a 78 percent average review score at Metacritic, but the new IP had to go up against a tough slate of more recognizable franchises.

EA has made a point to bring more new IP into its product portfolio, balancing out licensed and older series.

"We're actually very pleased with a lot of our new franchises this year," said Riccitiello. He added that Spore and MySims have established strong foundations for future installments, and expects Warhammer Online to do well as time goes on.

Riccitiello also categorized the new sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space as a "long-term big winner" for the company.

But if EA knew the economic conditions it was due to face this holiday, perhaps the publisher wouldn't have relied so heavily on new IP.

Mirror's Edge, out now for the 360 and PS3, has demonstrated a tendency to divide its owners. Most reviewers in the US and Europe loved its novel action and unique visual style -- except for the ones that hated it all, of course.

It's the same deal in Japan so far, where Mirror's Edge comes out December 11 and not even Famitsu's own reviewers can't agree amongst themselves over what to think of it. EA DICE's latest scored three 8's and one 6 from Famitsu this week, for a total score of 30 and a Silver award.

Multiplayer writes "Despite suggestions from elsewhere in Electronic Arts, the game developers at DICE who made "Mirror's Edge" refused to even prototype a third-person version of their daring new game.
