A-MAZINGGGGGGG!

Gimmie now pls.

Couldn't get into the first (still think it was great in its own right) but that trailer made it from just curious to must buy.

Not enough games with original concepts these days.

I agree

Why can't game designers and programmers start with this simple question ...wrote it on big bloody whiteboard

"Can we design a game that's action packed without guns"

Start with that question and go from there ....now I'm not anti guns in gaming ....but it's too easy just to have them as the premise of the game
 
Never understood the love for Mirror's Edge. The story and characters were lame, and first person platforming sucks donkey's balls. Very pretty game but that's about it.

Appreciate they were trying to do something different with a new IP, but sometimes you should know when to put a line through a failed concept.
 
Because different people like different things. I don't think anyone has ever claimed Mirror's Edge was perfect. But it was still a fresh experience within the first person genre which still played well. I actually think Faith is a pretty cool character, but the first game did the character model no justice with the animated cutscenes.

When you were on a roll in that game it was a great experience. Which is why I'm excited about a sequel, it gives Dice a chance to deliver on the promise of the first game.

This wasn't a failed concept at all.

Closed beta codes were sent out this morning so check your emails. I'll hopefully give it a go later.
I have a PS4 code that I won't be able to use, first in best dressed.

Thank you. I got the email saying I got in, but some arseh*le guessed my code before I could enter it.
 
I only was able to play about 10 minutes but very fluid visuals and game-play. Not sure about the longevity though, but spose it would be no different to the previous version.

Bad example, but same sort of feeling when SMB made the transition to 3D in SM64.

Getting some average reviews. :(

I'll still be grabbing it, but it's a bit disappointing to see people not liking it (and that's even coming from people who enjoyed the first).
 
Yeah I watched some YouTube vids

I'll get it when it's 25 bucks on PSN in about 8 months or a hock shop somewhere

We have to give some credit for trying to do something different I suppose ...maybe just a straight parkour (spell) game with points awarded for stunts and so on would be great.

The reviews I've read are that the story is weak but gameplay is good ....it might be a simple case of if you're a fan of this type of game you'll love it ...bad timing though with uncharted still selling through rooftops (lol bad joke)

We have to give credit for them trying something different ....there is just so many quality games out there that you have to produce something great for people to buy it
 
It's gotten a few outstanding reviews from people who really gelled with it as well.

I played enough of the beta to know what I'm getting and that I'll enjoy it. It seems to have added in a few new flaws whilst fixing some old ones.

I think the most disappointing thing I've seen so far from impressions is that the open world element isn't utilised well enough. Which seems like the thing that was really going to break the game apart from the first one and propel it into it's own stratosphere of awesome.

Feels like potential lost.
