In other news, the first issue of Mirror's Edge: Exordium, a prequel story that leads into Catalyst, released today.

I'll let you know when I read it.

Read it. Not much to tell since it's a bit short but it looks like we'll get to know more about Faith's mother as the comic progresses. In fact, I'd wager there'll be a connection between the research Faith steals in the game and her mother's work. In any case, I wouldn't recommend buying it just now as it's mostly setup. Story's too short for a month's wait, kinda like with the Mulan comics (which I'm also reading).

Yup, I'd say so.

catalyst officially delayed until May 24, 2016


For more polish, with a city with that many windows it could use it.

That's a long-ish delay. I'm officially worried now.

Oh it's out a day after my birthday cool.

Eh, considering how ridiculously pushy EA is with deadlines, games getting a delay is more favourable than not. It means they actually want to work on the game a bit more before releasing it. They might just "screw it" and just push it out anyway and then fix it with a couple patches later.

Whenever it comes to EA, release delays are a good thing. Also, it automatically puts the title on the alarm list for me to check out more intensely before buying in case it really got huge problems that weren't yet solved at release.

The original Mirror's Edge was so much fun but what ruined the fun for me was the inclusion of combat. It just felt like they had shoehorned the combat elements into the game just to satisfy the 1% of people that can't play a game without it. Really did annoy me.

I felt it was not needed.
