Mirror's Edge comes out tomorrow- Is anyone else excited for it?
I haven't been this excited for a game since Pirates of the Burning Sea. It is coming out for the PC, Xbox and PS3 (my platform).
It is a First Person Shooter, that is unique in that the objective is to outrun the police of a fascist-futuristic state and utilize all the moves in Parkour physically possible to get the information you are carrying to the hands of the right people. I think the best part of this entire game is that you can go through it without firing a single shot and you are rewarded for it, that is very refreshing in a genre of mind numbing violence.
I have been playing the demo on the PS3 network and have loved the way the game brings you into the world. The game has implemented the most mindblowing Full Body Awareness system in a video game to date. As Faith (the main character-you) runs, leaps, shimmies and tumbles over the rooftops, her hands and legs move in such a realistic manner, there are times when I felt I was watching myself running.
So I guess the question is, anyone else excited about this as I am?

- It is not a first person shooter........really it's not it is a first person platformer you can pick up a weapon and use it but it's rare in the game the sequel is talking about doing away with guns altogether......cold hard facts......

good going with the build man, I dunno if you carved the stuff out beforehand, but this kinda reminds me of when Queen's Brian May built his "red Special"

Great vid there, a perfect example of a "car crash" movie :P
Heard a bit of chiptune-age in there... did you get the audio from .XM files by any chance?
What I was referring to, was that the way that this "could" move forward, was that people might be able to search for info about any random person through taking a photograph in the street, they don't even have to be famous.
Fair enough at this p...
