The downloadable demo for EA DICE’s first-person action title, Mirror’s Edge, will be available for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 6th. Those that pre-ordered the game from Gamestop and select retailers will recieve a code to enable Time Trial mode in the demo.
In addition, senior producer Owen O’Brien has revealed that the title is the first installment in a planned trilogy.
“The story we’re telling at the moment is kind of a trilogy, a three-story arc,”
“For these first couple games, it’s all about Faith. It’s all about her experience in the world.”
However it does not mean the series will end after its third entry.
“I think there’s a lot of scope to take the story in different directions, or maybe tell someone else’s story,”
“I think the world we’ve created, the city and the culture and the environment, is almost as interesting or more interesting than any one individual story.”
A level creator may be among the features for Mirrors Edge 2 as it would be “something we’re probably going to look out for the sequel.”
“The thing is, the game is so easy to play and intuitive, that creating a level editor is a skill in itself,” “If we do it, we want to make the editor as easy to use and intuitive as the game is.”
