Surprize! the PS3;

Wasn't there already a thread where this was pointed out? Also, is anyone here even looking forward to this game?

I must have missed that thread but I cant wait for Mirrors Edge it looks Great!

Too bad this is a niche title that's not going to be a big seller on any system.  Spending the money to have exclusive DLC for this game makes no sense from an economic perspective.  Sony may sway a few hundred (maybe even over 1k) people that have both 360 and PS3 to buy the PS3 version, and that's assuming they even hear about this announcement, but in the end it seems like it will be a futile investment that pays little dividends.

You are aware of who's publishing, right?

...As evidenced by the relative success exclusive DLC brings to a specific port of a game?

It's simple consumer psychology. Consumers doesn't like to feel gypped, and people with both consoles will buy the game that provides the most content for the least amount of money.

That doesn't change the fact that it's still a platformer and platformers are notoriously niche titles, especially something like this game, where from what I've seen, the entire game is purely a platformer with no touches of other genres like previously successful platformers have had.  And it's not like EA doesn't publish niche titles as you seem to imply.  NFL Head Coach 09 is their latest.  Maybe Sony should pay for exclusive DLC for that game too since it is published by EA, and apparently that is the only criteria needed to become a blockbuster million-unit seller.

with no touches of other genres like previously successful platformers have had.

When did first-person shooters and platformers become the same genre again?

And it's not like EA doesn't publish niche titles as you seem to imply.

No.

Mirror's Edge is a large-budget title from DICE, a very well respected codehouse, being published by one of the biggest companies in the gaming industry, EA... and you're trying to tell me that it won't sell?

Come on. Even if the game was absolute shit, the developer, publisher, and the media hype would hundreds of thousands of units.

Im still hesitant on this game. It seems like its gonna be in the same spirit of Assassins Creed in that the concept look and everything was great but got repetitive quickly and lacked replay value.

this game looks sweet and I could care less personally about exclusive dlc.  I will prolly by this game but I would really like a demo.

The game owns. It'll sell 2M easy.

Shitty Need For Speed games sell 2M with EA printed on the cover.

Eddie grows weary of being the only one who writes decent impressions here.

Mirrors Edge impression dude, or are you under NDA?
