Electronic Arts owned DICE has announced a new shooter from the team that brought you Battlefield 2. The game is called Mirror's Edge and it will be developed for next generation consoles and the PC. They are telling us that this will be a revolutionary action adventure game. Hopefully, as was Battlefield 1942, they are claiming that this game will revolutionize the way we play. No pressure.

The game is said to put you in the shoes of the lead character, Faith. The player will guide their character around a future metropolis of the dystopian kind. Faith is a member of a small group who is, of course, fighting the corrupt and evil regime. Doesn't sound revolutionary but it definitely does sound interesting. Apparently, the revolutionary part comes from the control of the character. Where they create a unique way to make you feel as though you are in the charcter's body that you are playing.

A representative from DICE said

"At this time, we are not revealing anything more than the fact that we are changing the way that players are able to move in first person ... No more restrictions, no more being blocked by simple barriers such as walls and fences. We want to enable the player to move like a real person, with the ability to run, jump, vault and slide in a way that has never been seen before in a first-person game."

Patrick Soderlund, General Manager of EA DICE, said

"We are a studio that believes in taking risks and taking games in new directions. We made the sandbox experience viable and enjoyable in Battlefield and now, we are looking to do something radical with the traditional established mechanics of first person movement."

Senior producer, Owen O'Brien, said

"We want to change the way that players are able to move in first person. No more restrictions, no more being blocked by simple barriers such as walls and fences. We want to enable the player to move like a real person, with the ability to run, jump, vault and slide in a way that has never been seen before in a first person game."

The game had been developed previously under the working title, Project Faith. Will be interesting to see what they pull out of the bag for this one. Obviously, as soon as we get more details we'll bring them to you ... stat.
