Mirror's Edge Trailer: Faith ... What a lovely name!

At SCEE Playstation Day in London, EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) released a new trailer for their upcoming game, Mirror's Edge. EA is apparently claiming the trailer is showing real game play footage and if that's true, well colour me impressed.

Mirror's Edge follows the story of a runner, who is lucky enough to be graced with awesome name of Faith and works as a delivery girl who delivers important information in an alternative reality future that has become ultra paranoid about using electronic communications. She becomes a target of mysterious government forces when the information she carries becomes too important for her to deliver to its intended party.

Of course, Faith isn't some damsel in distress as she's able to kick some butt and take some names with some killer Matrix style moves. DICE also opted to not have Faith use guns in the game, but her enemies do, so gamers will have to choose between fight or flight tactics when faced with the oncoming projectiles.

The trailer sports a moment where Faith is balancing on a pipe as she makes her way across it and I'm thinking the developers might use moments like this to use the SIXAXIS controls for the PS3 version, much like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune did. God, I hope not.

No release date has been announced for the game yet, but the game will be available on PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows when it does hit the market.

I'm just hoping that they get the controls right. On a game like this, bad controls will absolutley destroy the game.

Wow, this game looks great! I finally get to see what the game looks like in motion after hearing about it but only seeing one or two screen shots since it's been announced.

It kinda reminds me of Breakdown for the first xbox (such a good game, but no one ever gave it a chance)
