Seeing this inspired me to start replaying the original this weekend. A weekend well wasted ;)

The way she jumps seems closer to the Hulk than Mirror’s Edge. The movement looks to have a lovely sense of weight and momentum to it. You can bust into toilet cubicals. There’s nothing in this footage I don’t love.

Looked like an Assassin’s Creed/Mirror’s Edge mashup. If you can’t come up with something fresh, mix a whole bunch of other shit together.

Also, yeah definitely did look like a pre-visualization rather than gameplay. Similar to:

*Sigh* If only Dawn of War 2 did look like how it was envisioned.

Actually, I re-read that and I think there might be some kind of fractal irony in there. I won’t anger Professor Bee any further.

“Actually, if this is prerendered its very badly done.
Theres a alot of repeated animation (running into the wall on the stairs, clambering onto the ledges) ”

Really? The problem I see with most target gameplay videos is how over-reaching they are. When animations repeat (as they might as part of an animation state machine), that’s a good thing. It’s the special cases and one-offs which terrify me in terms of implementation, because they always feel so tacked on and inconsistent as far as mechanics go.

that looked more like assassins creed than mirrors edge to me.

Well, it looks great and exciting and everything, but what I really liked about BG&E was the art style and the world. I’m not against it being less cartoony, but I really hope they aren’t ditching all the wackiness and certainly not the whalrus-sapiens!

What now for Man Raised By Puffins, who misses my irony?

Well Slaughter House Blues was a wee bit like a Mexican on amphetamines stuck in a bin.
