Tiscali Games sports the first two screenshots (not low-res scans, which were posted before) from DICE's upcoming revolutionary FPS Mirror's Edge alongside an explanation. Full translation follows for those that repeatedly complain that site is not in English:
Mirror's Edge swore to revolutionize the way characters move in FPS: that's the premise of the DICE's latest's projects, authors of the Battlefield series. Only now authors have released the first two screenshots.
To understand what's going on, one has to open up the latest issue of Games for Windows magazine, where the game's producer Owen O'Brien explains: "Shooting will play an important role in the game, but Faith will have to rely on her parkour-like movements to survive in the metropole." The screenshot comes from the first level, where she's just finished a rooftop-run and is now sliding down a glass roof while under fire by a police chopper. "It'll feel like the Casino Royale chase scene," adds O'Brien.
To better understand the intuitive controls of the game, it is suggested that you check out the article from EDGE which was reprinted on Next Gen last August.

It seems that in Season 4, DICE has snuck in a Battlefield 2042 Mirror's Edge Easter egg in the new Flashpoint map.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Ubisoft Massive lead gameplay designer Fredrik Thylander, previously of DICE where he worked on Battlefield and Mirror's Edge, has spoken out about achievements and trophies, arguing that they "have been bad for gaming."
The achievements in Mirror's Edge opened my eyes to a whole other way of approaching the game. Since some of the toughest and most rewarding ones are basically whole levels turned into time trials with very strict time requirements, they force you to become much better at the game - in a way that difficulty levels just don't - and made me appreciate the mechanics that much more (especially the momentum-based running and platforming).
They actually made the game better for those like me who really enjoyed the game but wanted more of it, basically adding a new level of difficulty that took a long time to master/overcome. It added some extra longevity to a very short game.
He says "it eats resources that could have made the game better". I'm curious what he thinks the time he spent designing the achievements for the game would've been better spent on, because I expect bang for buck-wise achievements are a pretty efficient way of adding value to a game for the people who end up loving it.
I don't know. I used to think Achievements / Trophies were ruining games at first but then I saw the positive, if you totally love a game then they would offer you replay value by going after the last achievements to 100% the game. It made you explore every last bit of the game to achieve this and sometimes pushed you into areas or scenarios you probably might have missed.
It was a blast to get them on Oblivion / Skyrim, Fallout, Witcher, God of War, Elden Ring etc
Don't get me wrong, I do think there's achievements which are annoying, the ones where you need to find all collectibles which end up being missable AND are like trying to find a needle in a haystack are a kick to the balls, you know the majority of us are just going to use a guide to find them so what's the point.
Kind of a shame Nintendo haven't gotten a full system in place, they are so behind.
I enjoy having something to go for and feeling accomplished when doing something hard. I just hate it when achievements are based on things you can't really control. Like when something is for MP and the MP is just dead.
I used to be a hardcore achievement hunter back in the day, but I couldn't care less nowadays. I just want to play games the way I actually want to play them, and don't care to waste my time just to get a little pop-up.
Never been a fan of achievements. I just want to play the game however it may present itself to me, there's an overflow of achievements to seek in real life lol
Great for those that enjoy them though, much respect to the platinum hunters, it ain't easy lol
interesting.
Assasins creed with guns in first person view. Sweet.
Looks insanely sweet. Nice find. This game could be the next step in FPS gaming. DICE FTW.
This game looks really nice and kind of gives me that wow factor like Halflife 2 did years ago! I really want to see this baby in motion and I wonder if they have some type of new tech were you feel as though you truly are high up in the sky! Nice lighting by the way and I'm glad they are going 1st person!
at first i saw the tiny images and said so what? then i enlarged them i would love to see those on my tv they are miles better when you expand them and see just how good it is
