Mirror's Edge demo developed for Wii, DS, PSP? |
Ó
Is Faith leaping off to other platforms specifically to the Wii, DS and PSP? We've heard of the game getting a sequel, but not this. Unseen64 is reporting that Electronic Arts has commissioned Backbone Entertainment to create a demo of Mirror's Edge (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) for the aforementioned platforms.
They even have a screenshot of the alleged Wii demo, although the DS and the PSP status remains to be unknown. And what do you know, based on the screenshots it looks like they're tweaking the gameplay to let the players see Faith spring and fly in action. In third person in other words.
If this be the case, it looks like the devs and publishers did take into account the sentiments of many players who felt that it was such a waste not to see what Faith was doing because they had Faith's view.
I'd personally say it would be cool to have the game in third-person. It's parkour. Unless you do it yourself, it's meant to be seen from a different angle and perspective, otherwise, it's just gonna be dizzying. However, for the sake of those who do prefer the first-person perspective, maybe they can make it a switchable option?
But am getting way too ahead of myself. There's still no official word on this, but just in case, we'll let you know, as usual.

That picture reminds me of Kim Possible
of that Esurance commercial.
Which of these images is supposed to be a screenshot? ..Because it's pretty clear that both are just drawings.
Probably it's cel shaded graphics since that's what the Wii is best at... and if you take a screenshot of a game with cel shaded graphics it looks like a drawn picture or a freeze frame from a cartoon.
So it is possible that this is a screenshot.

In this video, the PC version was modified (very easily, in fact) to switch Mirror's Edge to a third person view. The only reason why a third person view would be somewhat difficult is because as you can see, the animations are over the top to make it seem normal in first person mode, so they'd have to redo all of the animations, and probably some of the collision detection as it isn't quite right in third person.
I think teh allure of the game was the unique first person gameplay. Throw it into third person and it's a poormans prince of persia set in an urban setting.
...you will, but I think it's a good game to have on new platforms :)
if the second screnshot if for the wii or psp then i like it=)keeps to the stlye of the game if you ask me....minus the First person
man these games companys are taking the pithe true say i didnt buy cod waw for 360 cuz got cod 4 and it's basically the same game with diferent graphics so bought it for wii instead and it's probably the best online multiplayer on wii and 8 players max is just weak but no sorry not buying chop till drop or this cuz industry just keeps doing it using psp and wii as a dump-ing ground for ok 360/ps3 spin offs i think nintendo wanna concentrate on getting some damn good 16/32 player multiplayer fps and car games and fotty games instead of taking mediocre games from other consoles cuz they dont wanna be left out nintendo pull your fingers out your ass ant tell these companies we want some hardcore multiplayer action not spin offs
