I've seen the trailers and been snooping around for details. I have to say this game sounds grand, the game mechanic is innovative and the storyline is intriguing enough. The graphics seen in the trailer are high quality stuff and everything looks fun and immersive. It feels like a blend of Assassin's Creed, Half-Life 2 and Riddick (wow).
Add to it the fact it's made by DICE, the guys behind the Battlefield series and we have something here.

I might end up getting a 360 to play this.

Who's waiting for it?

*signs*

The concept. The controls. The color palette (meaning it actually has one).

This game is quite simply without precedent, and easily earns the #2 spot on my "most anticipated" list, wedged rather nicely between RE5 and Dead Space.

It needs a good story to succeed, not just be a different style fps

I've been following this one for a while. EDGE and Play both have some great articles about it. I'm just hoping they don't get rushed in develpoment and are allod to finish the game so that it conforms with what they hoped for it.

I'm seeing it as a blend of Getting Up, Crackdown and The Club (but much better).

Wow, well that's a premise that's never been done before >_>...

It's going to have more than just a cliche setup to have a decent storyline and IMO that's the only way a game like this will succeed, especially given the gimmicky (how the hell does that count for innovation these days?) gameplay.

I see it being another Assassin's Creed. All style and practically no substance.

I really don't know about this game. On one hand, it looks like it could be really cool and really good fun, but on the other, it looks like it might be boring after the first level. I definitely need to see more on it.

I'm really excited for this game. I love the visual styIe, and I think it will be great to have a first person platformer. I love running around and doing crazy jumps in games, so I'm hyped to play a game that focuses almost exclusively on those elements.

If the platforming and level design are good, this game could be awesome. I can see this being the ultimate speed run game. I just hope I have some freedom as to how I complete levels. If it was very linear, it could ruin the fun.

i think the concept is interesting. im all for spicing up first-person games. an acrobatic first person action/platforming game could be just the ticket. though like others have said, level design will make or break mirror's edge. i hope EA doesnt end up with 7 years bad luck (i'm sorry, but i had to).

Reminds me to much of Assassin's Creed. All flash and no content. Been watching since the beginning. The first levels might be a blast, but that's all it has. This game screams, generic.

Once your past the flashy running and bouncing, you got nothing.So far the lame far out weighs the good. The good only, being the hopping around.

I'm not paying much attention to this glitter covered rock.

If people want to pay 70 bucks to act like a lady Asian, makeup artist's nightmare. While bouncing around scripted tracks. Through a holed and weak basic a to b storyline. Enjoy! :D

They have to give me more as a gamer/consumer and stop showing off the same things, over and over. I get that you run and use par quor. How about going into much further detail on the rest of the game or is there nothing to tell?

I'm delightfully anxious to the game as I am with the game Heavy Rain.
I've wanted originality recently and that game seems to have that in bundles, now it just need a good gameplay and story.

For all the criticism the Unreal Engine gets for its "generic" appearance, this game is doing a pretty damn good job of distinguishing itself from the rest by utilizing a different color scheme, and in turn has gained them a reputation amongst the gaming press.

It's definitely one of the most promising, original upcoming titles. The art-styIe is fantastic. But it's Digital Illusions, not really known for story-driven single-player games. We'll have to see how it pans out in the end. It could be something really special.

I cant wait to try this one out. It's something original, something new and us gamers always like that. But with that said just because its something new and original it doesnt mean it will work, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed because i'm hoping it will blow us away. If it works how they expect it i believe this game will be amazing.

I'll buy it once the price drops a bit.
