GB: "I came across this awesome video showing what Mirros Edge 2 would have looked like, if it was rendered using the CryEngine 3. The similarities are amazing and save for the enemies and the protagonist, everything does indeed look like Mirrors Edge. DICE are you seeing this?"
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

Featuring the complete nanosuit experience, The Crysis Trilogy has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
Looking good! Great work by the modder.
It would be interesting to Faith would look as good as Crysis 2. The environments will be interesting too. Hope EA makes them game.
I hope they bring the sequel back and release it in 2012; the first Mirror's Edge was such a breath of fresh air.

I'm not one myself, but the mods these guys can make are amazing (GTA, anyone?)
If they do make a Mirrors Edge 2, I hope they use Frostbite 2.0, it's DICE after all, and the (albeit small) amount of footage we've seen from BF3 using that engine is stunning.
Either way, I really hope Mirrors 2 gets made, and to it's full potential. There's just nothing else like that game.
I'm glad to see they missed the whole point of Mirrors Edge though. With the giant gun it would be impractical to really grab on to and climb stuff...
