Mirror's Edge Looks AMAZING
The Mirror's Edge by EA is looking amazing!
First person perspective + non-shooting focus + parkour = EPYON WANT!
Click here for the debut trailer.
I'm going to pre-order its brains out.

Wow, that could almost have the "feel" of Crackdown, with the way it looks when jumping from high to low. does that make sense?

it's interesting at this point. But when it comes to EA, for me, they always seem to leave me slightly disappointed. Thus, it will probably be a good game, just not a AAA title.

Here is the first trailer video from May. Gametrailers.com - Mirror's Edge - SCEE PlayStation Day Trailer
I've been following this game for a while.(Notice my avatar and the tat Faith is sporting on her eye.) Gametrailers.com has a few videos up that give a great example of the gameplay. They also have a producer video that explains what they are trying to do with the game. First person gameplay, but not concentrating on shooting. This game looks great and I hope EA doesn't F it up.

I've always wanted to do that in real life, I'm a big fan of Parkour. I've got a long video of a guy doing it on my myspace, I think (I never use it anymore). I almost couldn't bare doing that in a video game.
It's almost like the idea of rock climbing in a video game. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It still looks kinda fun though (although not so impressive graphics on that video).

Yeah, Parkour is sweet, mix Assassins Creed with some Crackdown fun.
Also the game Prototype should have a good amount of parkour in it from what i read.
If you want to see a foreign action Movie with Parkour up the Wazoo in it then check out District Barrio 13 aka B-13.
This is the Famous Parkour guy...David Balle (i think thats his name)

The game is pretty cool. I felt the game was a bit too linear at this point. The combat system needs to work. I felt the aiming was sloppy.
But the game does focus a lot on combat avoidance, not so much stealth.

I watched a video of this earlier this morning (for the first time) while waiting for my car's oil to be changed, and must say it looks pretty impressive. Because it's an EA property, I'm leary of the final product, but definitely think the concept is very cool.

Like others have said, I definitely think the potential is there. It reminds me of the infancy of SpiderMan with Peter Parker learning to jump rooftops....or perhaps the Matrix.
My only concern is that I'm going to get all clammy because I'm scared of heights. Even the trailer got my blood going!

I never got the weary of heights like I did playing Crackdown or Assassin Creed.
