Video: Mirror's Edge does yellow too!
25
Here she is, Faith, jumping, kicking and being all acrobatic in the final Mirror's Edge trailer, the game's official launch trailer. Even better than the fact that the trailer is action filled and "jump-tacular" is the proof that Mirror's Edge has other colors than white, blue and red. No joke, there's green and (GASP!) yellow. Yes sir, we were just as amazed as you probably are right now.
Color wheel discussion aside, the trailer is enjoyable and upbeat enough to make us want to run down to our local retailer to plop down our pre-order cash. No joke.

Haven't tried the demo because my 360 RRODed 73% of the way through download. Now I won't be able to play GH:WT when it comes either. Or finish Far Cry. Or get Dead Space. Or Fable II. Or Fallout 3. Or Gears 2. CoD 5 can wait, I won't be missing that. (Oooooohhh! Controversial!)

STILL haven't tried the demo yet! It's sitting on the hard drive but you know how it is.
I'm busy with a certain other game at the moment.....

I'd consider buying it, but Arthas needs his ass kicked more than I need to run around rooftops. :)

The song is some remix of Lisa Miskovsky - Still Alive. Anyone know the name of that remix?

Okay, back from doing some research on the Web. It's a cut from the Armand Van Helden remix of the song. The part played in this trailer starts around 1:02.

it has a time trial mode. it's even in the demo, which can be unlocked in the demo if you pre-ordered the game, i believe.

I'm pretty sure they do have time trials. I'm not sure how they're implemented but it does give it some longevity.

That remix of such a gorgeous song was absolutely terrible. First the vocals, now this techno crap. It's like they shit all over it every time there's an addition made.
Admittedly the vocals grew on me, but still.

Pre-order Shme.....order. Gamefly FTW!! I'm so happy I don't have to "plop down" $60 freaking dollars anymore for a game I'm only gonna play once.

This game reminds me of Portal in the sense that there won't be a ton of replay value and it will probably be short but it's an experience you must have as a gamer. This looks absolutely incredible and plays amazingly. I'm sure I'll spend time perfecting my runs and doing time trials but this is probably a 2 week rental for me. I'll play through it for a few weeks and then return it. I typically don't buy games that don't have a multiplayer component that adds significantly to the longevity of the game.
As a side note, for those that want this FPS experience, check out an old school ps1 game called Jumping Flash:

I remember playing Jumping Flash 13 years ago and being blown away by the first person view. You felt like you were in the head of the giant robotic bunny controlling its jumps and movement. After playing it for a few hours, when I finished playing I remember moving my head and feeling a weird "lag" sensation from being in that first person view for so long. That night I went to bed and had dreams about playing it. I'll never forget that game. It was incredibly innovative considering this was 13+ years ago.

Dude who cares what colors are in this game...have you played the demo? I have several times because it just feels cool. I can't wait till I have a few extra bucks to afford buying it. I think the time trial mode will give lots of replay look at the success of the Braid speed runs and the leaderboards for those.
