"I’m still having trouble believing Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is a reality. As a fan who loved the original, I’m highly anxious to get my hands on the long awaited sequel (even if it’s just a reboot). However, after spending some time with the BETA a few concerns began to grow."
Kaan writes: "Mirror's Edge will likely never get a third try. The second game does not look like a cheap effort. By all accounts it is beautiful, especially with its FPS Boost enhancements. The city glows at nights and shines in the day. Lights will reflect off of Catalyst’s many structures made of glass. It’s spectacular to run through. But such a lavish production often comes with risk aversion and sadly Catalyst crumbles under this pressure. It’s held back by the pressure to conform, rather than trying to be genuinely different."
The parkour was great. It was just the story and characters didn't get interesting until the final moments and then it was to late.
Digital Foundry: Microsoft's FPS Boost support expands again, this time with 120Hz upgrades for 12 games and a 60fps boost for one! We decided to check out the improvement to some of our favourite games in the line-up, including the three Battlefield games that are supported, Titanfall and Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Which consoles support which games, what's the performance really like and are there resolution compromises?
Microsoft is killing it. Meanwhile Sony only lets developers upgrade older games if they make a PS5 version. Which means, less games getting upgrades on Sony’s offering.
Man, that makes me want to reinstall the OG Titanfall... seeing people still playing it. Memories

Electronic Arts has just released twelve games on Valve's distribution service, Steam.
Combat is terribly basic, if they thought taking out guns was a good idea they should have fleshed out hand to hand combat and maybe given a baton it's just boring to fight.
lol did anyone expect EA not to leave their "magic mark" on the game? The EA of 2016 is not the EA that made the original. Even the basic premise has been completely swapped to push politics...
I agree, the combat become too cinematic and lacks any substance. I remember dying several times in the original and planning a better approach. In catalyst, at least the beta, I didn't die once nor did I have a sense accomplishment when engaging in the combat.
The graphics tho..
Jesus Christ, it will be a crying shame if they've squandered the potential of such a promising series on a half-assed remake/sequel.
