Mirror's Edge came out 8 damned years ago, people, god damn...

Barely anyone bought it and even fewer remember it.

Get over the game using alternate jumping buttons than that game. It makes no difference at all.

yikes. lmao.

I'm curious, that's all. Your read on how many people remember Mirror's Edge notwithstanding, I'm just wondering why they picked R1. L1/L2 for jump/slide puts all movement options on your left hand, freeing your right primarily to aim accurately and attack. This made a lot of sense and I thought it was a well-suited control scheme, and I used variations of it in many other games. So I'm wondering what the concept was here; maybe it works flawlessly for this game. That's all... just wondering. What's mapped to the other shoulder buttons? Does R1 feel good as a jump when you get accustomed to it? I don't know these things, so I asked.

Excellent my retailer also break street date frequently, sometimes as much as a week. Does that happen on your end? Also

Spoiler

talking about this doesnt breach GAF TOS does it?

I hated Dead Island in a lot of ways - but I've watched plenty of streams of Dying Light and it looks like DL has very much improved on everything I didn't like bout DI. Now I've just got to get through a day at work tomorrow...

Mine gets stuff on par with the rest of the world even if it's delayed here in India, which it is for the physical edition much like every country that isn't the US. Got friends already playing it digitally. Might co-op tomorrow. As someone who has played DI as well, this is a lot more polished.

Dropkicks on the rooftops!

Brilliant!

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

Can this be played co-op story online?

 

[JimPanzer]

feel like this game would have been much better with a decent third person perspective

 

[Hawkian]

Can this be played co-op story online?

Yeah, apparently after the tutorial (~30 mins), everything else in the game can be done in co-op.

Anyone figure out how to get the master scavenger outfit on PS4?

 

[arts&crafts]

I think the sidequest Goodnight Mr. Bahir is bugged. It won't let me talk to Yusuf (which it is asking me to do)

 

[Corpekata]

How is the keyboard and mouse controls? Pc users using controller or kb&m? I always prefer kb&m for fps.

They're good. Most everything is rebindable. Kind of a lot of actions though so might be a slight headache getting everything useful on sane keybinds.

I finished that NP

That the dealer quest? If so I did that one just fine.

 

[FlyinJ]

Is there a limit to how much crafting, valuables or weapons you can carry? I don't see it listed anywhere in the inventory screen. As for valuables, should I sell all loot marked as such? Is there any reason to hold onto them?

 

[arts&crafts]

I finished that NP

Hmm...I will try talking to everyone in the tower, the arrow points to no one

 

[Marvel]

Co-Op have matchmaking or do you have to have friends?

 

[SlasherJPC]

So are there some weapons that can be repaired indefinitely or all weapons eventually are totally broke and only can be dismantled for the parts?

 

[BrandonPckrfn]

Make sure you talk to Lena first.

 

[Corpekata]

Did you talk to the doctor first?

 

[jond76]

He's on the roof.

 

[arts&crafts]

Make sure you talk to Lena first.

Yea this is the next step it says "I have to ask Yusuf who makes the stuff" and I go on the roof where Yusuf sits (presuming he is the guy who you meet at the beginning of the tower) but I can't talk to him.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

That's not him. He's around the corner.

 

[BlackVenom]

The Destiny easter egg is hilarious.

Spoiler

You enter a cave near the fishing village docks, and then the text appears ' its is your destiny to loot' . Then zombies keep spawning forever lol

 

[arts&crafts]

That's not him. He's around the corner.

oh shit! You were right, no the arrow wasnt pointing over there, thanks!

 

[Xaero Gravity]

oh shit! You were right, no the arrow wasnt pointing over there, thanks!

No problem, I had the exact same issue. xD

 

[BrandonPckrfn]

Nah, it's someone else. Take a left when you get to the roof. He is sitting under a shack.

Cool, thanks for the reply. My friend got me this game for my bday, it's loaded on my pc at home I'll be checking it out after work. Glad to see the positive response in this thread. It's been a while since I played a big open world game like this so I'm looking forward to playing this coop.

 

[Symphonia]

So I looked on the Playstation Store and this game has a product page but no price. I did notice there's a 'Premium' version at £60 but that's waaay too much. Anyone know how much the standard will be and how big the download will be?

Quoting for new page.

 

[lol internet]

Is there split screen / couch co-op?

 

[Phaethon0017]

Yeah, apparently after the tutorial (~30 mins), everything else in the game can be done in co-op.

Aww snap Hawkian! Join my Fireteam sometime .

 

[Rhaknar]

any word on the PC version? not horribly broken or anything?

 

[Conscience Falls]

So if Jump is the shoulder buttons, how does the game feel on Xbox? I have it downloaded but those are the worst thing about the otherwise fantastic controller.

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Where the hell are the reviews? Is this yet another game being sheltered by a ridiculous embargo?

 

[Corpekata]

Performance thread. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=980126&highlight=

It's not stellar, seems really CPU bound, but generally still the best version if you have a good rig.

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Dropkicks on the rooftops!

Something about this doesn't look right.

You're sprinting and picking up momentum, yet when you perform the dropkick, you come to a dead stop in mid-air and the zombie goes flying backwards?

It looks like the momentum should at least carry you over to the next rooftop, even after kicking the zombie. I know I'm just nitpicking here, but physics-wise it doesn't make any sense.

 

[Karak]

That's not him. He's around the corner.

Ya for some odd reason finding him sometimes can be a bit difficult for people. But he should be there. Unless he leapt to his doom.

 

[User 479360]

Planning an all-nighter with this. Won't be able to start it until then, because it'll take hours to download.

 

[Rafterman]

To all the people claiming that the shoulder button is necessary and better, maybe so, that doesn't change the fact that it still royally sucks. Oh well, it's $20, no big deal, but if I continue to enjoy the game I'll be getting the PC version (just like Mirror's Edge) so I can have free look, movement and a decent jump button all at the same time.

 

[Haxxona]

It looks like the momentum should at least carry you over to the next rooftop, even after kicking the zombie. It's like the zombie stops you as though you've kicked a brick wall, yet the zombie itself goes flying. I know I'm just nitpicking here, but physics-wise it doesn't make any sense.

I noticed that too, it doesn't look remotely believable which I dont know if that is the point

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Eu retail peasant here
I am so jealous of you guys

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Orcastar]

This game has flown completely under my radar. Just watched a stream for a while and it looks pretty neat, might have to pi-

One month delay for physical copies in the EU.

What the fuck is this bullshit?

Seriously, what is the justification for this?

 

[shinobi602]

So the PS4 and XBO versions are pretty much identical? Going to be a toss up on which one I choose then lol.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Is this game good?

 

[Karak]

So the PS4 and XBO versions are pretty much identical? Going to be a toss up on which one I choose then lol.

Ya I got about 2 hours on both and without some kind of machine to slow down and compare them they were both identical for normal gameplay.

Is this game good?

yup

 

[Hawkian]

Aww snap Hawkian! Join my Fireteam sometime .

Tell me they don't call them fireteams XD

I was all set to play this on PC (bought a code on Amazon actually...) but the $20 mixup rather ensured I'll be playing this one on PS4, hehe. Definitely be happy to group up.

We don't know.

The disc version only got released in NA on time.

 

[GHG]

Only played just over an hour so far but yes.

Spoiler

Well worth the $20.

 

[MUnited83]

Where the hell are the reviews? Is this yet another game being sheltered by a ridiculous embargo?

There's no embargo at all, review copies were just sent late.

 

[NavyPharaoh]

Playing it, for like an hour or so. So far It's like dead island without the jank. Impressed so far

 

[SirMossyBloke]

In case it wasn't already posted, finding EXPcalibur is ridiculously easy:

Spoiler

Get the quest in the tower to find a gun for someone. Track it as your quest and press the button that highlights where it is on the map. Head there and you'll find a rock in the water a bit further off, you need to swim. Climb on the rock and hold down square for about 3 minutes to pick it up.

 

[JumpJeff84]

Where the hell are the reviews? Is this yet another game being sheltered by a ridiculous embargo?

No embargo, but reviewers got their copies yesterday. Supposedly it's a pretty long game, so likely people are marathoning the game and reviews will be popping up in the next few days.
