First gameplay trailer of Mirror's Edge looks fantastic

A well-executed, semi-original game idea? Bring it on! Parkour madness...
A video of some gameplay from the upcoming Mirror's Edge game from Digital Illusions CE (DICE) was released today at a Sony press conference in London.
The game looks very impressive, in this humble gamer's opinion.
The best thing about this game is that it features a semi-original concept. Which is very good. If this was another horror FPS surivial game, or a fantasy MMO, I'd probably be tempted to staple my feet to the ground out of boredom. Kudos to DICE for trying something different with this game, as well as with their upcoming Battlefield Heroes. From this video, it looks like a large portion of the game is running across the top of roof tops... which is simple idea, but a terrific one, for a game.
Mirror's Edge is coming in late 2008 for the three pillars of next-gen gaming: the Xbox 360, the PS3, and yes, the PC.
Just imagining running Mirror's Edge on my home PC with either VR920 glasses, or a DLP projector projecting a eight foot screen, is making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Good times to be had.
this reminds me of this one game on the Xbox, where everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was first person, even the frist fights. That's nothign new. The running on rooftops? Assassins creed. Whilst everythign borrowed, if htey put a great story in, it will rock. But they need that story
It's one of the only bloody first person games where you actually get to see your own feet! I don't think I've ever seen a "true" first person game that brought into the whole body's movement and motion into play- until now.
you made me remember of condemned criminal origins and condemned bloodshot, everything is first person and you do see your feet at motion scenes which are first person too
i do have to say this looks like the matrix plus i've heard of an extreme sport that you jump around in rooftops, i don't know the name though...wonder if the mc does this sport
breakdown. Everythings first person, you have feet, hell you kick with them, fists you punch with, HECK you even throw up within twenty minutes of gameplay.
