Mirror's Edge 2 is now Mirror's Edge Catalyst and it won't be a sequel

It was confirmed on the official website. It won't be a sequel, says Catalyst senior producer Sara Jansson. Who knows what that will give us, maybe a different storyline? We'll find out at E3 next week.

 

Mirror’s Edge has always had a special place in the hearts of all of us at DICE. The first game had a lot of promise. It was unlike anything else in terms of the gameplay and style — it had a unique soul. But as much as we loved that game, we knew it could be more. So that’s what we have set out to do as we introduce Mirror’s Edge to a new generation.

 

“The team has spent a lot of time re-evaluating every aspect of the game and making it a new experience. This is not a sequel, this is not Mirror’s Edge 2. We have landed on a vision that honors the first game — pushing the boundaries of first person movement and diving deeper into the story behind our heroine Faith — but also brings a lot of great new, interesting gameplay and features to the experience for our players.

I was debating on whether to post it myself or not. In the end, it's meant as a joke, and not way to start a flame war, so I decided to do it in the end.

Fuck off Dice.

 

Mirror's Edge is honestly one of my favourite games.  I spent hours messing around in time trial mode.  It's a very cathartic game to just run around in.

 

Yet another Dice followup to a beloved franchise I couldn't give less of a shit about now.

 

What this means is that they don't feel like it's a follow up, they feel like it's a spin off.  Which means it's not remotely the same game.

Maybe it's a prequel. Wait for 1 week before you start bashing on them.  ;)

I don't really care about the story context.  

 

The devs straight up say in the quote that they're not making the same game.  It reads like an eulogy.  

 

It's going to be open world, isn't it?

Calm down, reserve your judgements for when we know more about it

 

The first mirrors edge while fun to play was limited in scope, maybe they have re-imagined the entire thing, taking elements from the first game, using the same characters and settings and expanding on the idea

 

Or maybe its just a completely different story etc

 

We have no idea until they release story and gameplay information

If they make it open world and include Oculus Rift support then I'd be very happy. That would be so cool.

I hope the Italian dubbing won't be as atrocious as the one in the first game :P

I really don't want a reimagining.  I just want slightly refined gameplay with new content.

Still, reserve your judgements until we know more, if they release all the information and  we get reviews and you get to play it and you still hate it.. then fair enough
