Shorty Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 PA made a comic about how sick the game makes them (literally, physically, not in disgust or something like that). Anyone feel this playing the demo? I sure didn't :/ not even slightly tbh.
Ganepark32 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Nope. I was fine the 5 or so times I played through the demo. But then I've never had motion sickness so I'm fine.

Anyone feel this playing the demo? I sure didn't :/ not even slightly tbh. me neither. I never get it with games though. I do know people who can't play Half life because of it, which is both odd and a bit of a shame.
EchoDesiato Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Watching gameplay footage made it look very disorienting, but actually playing it myself it was just fine. So no dizzyness here.
Daniel Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 That was weird, using LB to jump just isnt right at all!
Gizmo Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Only game I've ever played to give me motion sickness is Marathon on XBLA. Had no problems at all with this.
Cube Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 That was weird, using LB to jump just isnt right at all! Try swapping it to RB.
EchoDesiato Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Anyone know where I can get one of these time-trial codes? I pre-ordered the game, but didn't get one. Is this a USA thing only?
McPhee Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 ^ so not true 1080p then? Doesn't really matter. If that's the case, I don't really need to HDMI cable really. Is there much difference between 720p and 1080p to warrant the purchase of a HDMI cable? HDMI will give you a sharper and more stable image regardless of the resolution. Well worth the fiver for the cable tbh (unless you use the optical port on the 360, then you'll be needing the official dongle)
Ganepark32 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Anyone got any idea on whether the free T-Shirt you can get by buying this is from GAME an online only thing, where you have to pre-order to get it, or instore upon release as well? Doesn't say anything on their site about it. T-shirt's quite nice which is why I'm wondering. I'll have another look but any help would be much appreciated.
martinist Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 When i walked into GAME and bought Assassins Creed about a year ago they threw in a free t-shirt. Didn't know if they were doing an on-line offer too though.
Ganepark32 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I remember that one, but thought it was only on pre-order you got the t-shirt for it. I've emailed customer services so I should find out soon enough whether or not it's instore as well.
flameboy Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I think it was just if you preordered it, thats what it said it said in one of their new releases booklets...
Ganepark32 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 damn that sucks. And it's a nice T-shirt as well. Hmmmm.... I shall see what happens through the week and on friday.
Ganepark32 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 It got 9.3 on ComputerandVideogames. Seems to be doing really well so far, review wise.

Just pre-ordered my copy , only slightly disappointed with one thing, I had £2.38 worth of reward points from my fable 2 pre-order, and you need £2.50 to get the money off >.< still, ordered it from GAME site with NW10GME09 code for £3 off, and a tasty 9% quidco! Not bad considering I'll get another 800 reward points (definitely get that £2.50 next time then...) and a t-shirt. Plus GAME usually get me my pre-order 1-2 days early.
Ashley Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 What you can do is if you take proof of your online purchase from Game into store and ask nicely (and during a non-busy time) they may just give you one. To be fair we had a box, if not two, of those Assassin Creed shirts in and we're only a small store. I ended up with four.
Black Diamond Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Play.com has started shipping Mirror's Edge out.
Chris the great Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 It got 9.3 on ComputerandVideogames. Seems to be doing really well so far, review wise. just watched a review on player, bravo's game program, which usualy has ok reviews. gave the game a 6/10. combat was said to be a huge let down, and the overall length of just 5 hours has put me off getting it till a price drop. i dont mind games not being long, hell, i loved portal, but at like £40, thats £8 an hour. no thanks.
Guest Jordan Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 gave the game a 6/10. combat was said to be a huge let down, People watch that crap? Wow. Not only that but, since when was combat supposed to ever be a huge part of mirror's edge?

Think of how fast you are moving thorugh the levels; then think of how much level you would need to have to fill up 6 hours worth of gametime. At the pace Mirrors Edge moves at you can't expect it to last 12+ hours - it's a new breed of game. The time trial is the meat of the game anyway.
Ganepark32 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I'm not bothered about the length of the game. From it's announcement, although I didn't know overly much about it, I knew it wouldn't last more than 10 hours. And I'm fine with that. To me, it seems a good use of £40 compared to some of the other stuff that makes it to market with said price tag. And plus, I'm sure many people will play it several times through, I know I will as I want to do it without weapons and then with and then collect stuff. Can't wait to get hold of it. My hands are just itching to play it, as I deleted the demo to stop me spending all of my time sitting playing it. Friday can't come quick enough (although when it comes, I'll get the game and have to wait a few hours before I can play it).
Black Diamond Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 The game has an immense amount of replay value. This week I'm completely spoilt: WoW and Mirror's Edge.
gaggle64 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 People watch that crap? Wow. Not only that but, since when was combat supposed to ever be a huge part of mirror's edge? It's difficult not to get the impression some reviewers are possibly slightly missing the point. Eurogamer had a decent review and gave it 8/10, though complained it wasn't a sandbox type game and didn't give you a lot of freedom, which is probably like complaining your pet fish doesn't have four legs, a tail or barks.
