EA Explains Why Mirror's Edge 2 Took So Long : Read more

 

[Fredrik Aldhagen]

Hey EA, video games did exist prior to the original Playstation, you even made some for the Megadrive and SNES...

 

[Elevory]

When I hear "only possible on gen 4", my brain translates the message to mean "only possible with that new, tacky peripheral nobody wants to use". Curse you, gaming industry!

 

[Shin-san]

I would like to see the game to see their justification

 

[DarkSable]

I want it. Just make it a smoother, prettier mirror's edge and let me run around in it, and I will throw all my money at you.

...just don't make it only be on origin. Or freaking fix origin first.

 

[booyaah]

Real reason:

"Sorry it took us longer than expected to figure out how to put our next gen DRM controls on it."

 

[shikamaru31789]

I still don't get why EA keeps calling it Gen 4. They've been making games since the 3rd generation of consoles, this gen is the 8th gen, so this would actually be their 6th generation making games, not their 4th.

I still don't get why EA keeps calling it Gen 4.

EA's target market isn't old enough to know that there existed consoles prior to the PS1 and N64.

 

[g00fysmiley]

maybe they call it gen 4 just as a time progression relative to the playstation alone, or the transition to disks? who knows i don't really care how they term it as long as i get to play mirror's edge, the first one was so much fun. though i hope origins is not a reuirment or i will once again have to buy an ea game and play on console because i do not want that on my computer

 

[subaru41]

The delay was due to EA trying to figure out how to maximize their profits by adding as much in game purchases as possible such as: You want to save your game progress, that will be $2.99.

 

[internetlad]

"We didn't think it would make us enough money until recently"

 

[belardo]

Its Always sad to see any game with "EA" stamped to it.

 

[10hellfire01]

I think this is another game I won't pre-order because of my love for the original. I have a feeling EA, as any publisher, is becoming too involved.

Anyhow, "Gen4" either refers to Frostbite 4 (eh...) or the 4th sequential generation of consoles that render 3D animation/CG. Yeah, I know, it's idiotic.

 

[aoneone]

This + Oculus Rift please! ^_^

 

[cobra5000]

Well, as long as the sequel doesn't use physx to slow it down to a slideshow, like the first one did. Choppy, choppy, choppy! Great game, other than that.

 

[spat55]

I got this in the humble bundle. I am glad I did otherwise I would of never played such a beautiful game, the colors really made the game, I liked how the cutscenes were more along the lines of drawings, so allow you to use your imagination more rather and was more unique.

I would like to see the next Mirror's Edge with some differences, like Occlus Rift and make faith move more freely, as the old Battlefield movements didn't go very well with this kind of game.

 

[toastybatch565]

BF4, Mirror's Edge 2, and Battlefront 3. EA will literally be pissing money for the next decade.

 

[cats_Paw]

Oh sorry, EA is saying something? Yeah, guess i simply will ignore their Bull**** to leave more space in my brain for something usefull.

 

[cobra5000]

"it was a game that could only be built in gen 4 and that was cool"? Then why hasn't it been out for PC, three years ago? Oh yeah, Marketing and Stockholders.

 

[spat55]

Just make it more fluid than the original with free roam, and take your time, I do not want a game as Buggy as Battlefield 4!
