FEATURED POST
If we ever see a Mirror's Edge sequel, it could learn a lot from its Flash-based brother, Mirror's Edge 2D.

Did you know Minecraft was based on a book? Well, not really, but it sure seems like it.

"It would, and it would allow Mirror's Edge to invent a whole new genre, parkour-RPG. Unfortunately, I fear some dreams are a bit too ambitious for the folks at DICE. One day, maybe, one day..."

"I understand the concern about time trials. They were one of the few flawless features of the original Mirror's Edge because they were about perfection as opposed to fluidity. Furthermore, when one restarted a race, it was usually as a result of a timing mishap as opposed to a death. The lack of multiple routes was not a problem.
Time trials in Mirror's Edge 2 could work the same way they did in the first game, with only one main path to take to the finish line. I think my reference to time trials in the article wasn't as clear as it could have been, Perhaps a new mode could be implemented with with a scoring system. The levels could be taken from the campaign and utilize multiple paths as one tries to get as many points as possible. Meanwhile, the time trials might use entirely new levels set in environments from the campaign.
As for speed runs on the story mode, a feature could be implemented that would allow the player to restart from the most recent checkpoint at any point in the game, not just when they die."

"I've done the exact same thing in Codemaster's GRiD, although in that game somewhat realistic damage modeling and their fantastic rewind feature makes the carnage so much more enjoyable."

"True, although I think it would be preferable even if it shortens the game overall. Half as many fun and polished levels that can be replayed in different ways are better than an overall frustrating experience. And if you play it, Mirror's Edge will frustrate you quite a bit, although I do think it is still worth playing for the concept. The time trials are quite fun as well, if you are into that sort of thing."
