First gameplay trailer of Mirror's Edge looks fantastic

First gameplay trailer of Mirror's Edge looks fantastic

A video of some gameplay from the upcoming Mirror's Edge game from Digital Illusions CE (DICE) was released today at a Sony press conference in London. 

The game looks very impressive, in this humble gamer's opinion.

The best thing about this game is that it features a semi-original concept. Which is very good. If this was another horror FPS surivial game, or a fantasy MMO, I'd probably be tempted to staple my feet to the ground out of boredom. Kudos to DICE for trying something different with this game, as well as with their upcoming Battlefield Heroes. From this video, it looks like a large portion of the game is running across the top of roof tops... which is simple idea, but a terrific one, for a game.

Mirror's Edge is coming in late 2008 for the three pillars of next-gen gaming: the Xbox 360, the PS3, and yes, the PC.

Just imagining running Mirror's Edge on my home PC with either VR920 glasses, or a DLP projector projecting a eight foot screen, is making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Good times to be had.
