The developers of Mirror's Edge have been pretty adamant about it being first person only with no option for a third person view. Are y'all for or against this? I personally like the choice cause the view is what, in my opinion, makes the game.

Well that's it's USP really, with a third person camera there ain't much difference between Mirror's Edge and any other platformer game. That and the 'runner vision' or whatever it's called highlighting potential paths red would make little sense if you have a third person perspective.

Be interesting to see how they pull it off.

The first person view of this game makes it unique, I like it.

Yeah the first person view looks pretty good.. I'm sure that's what they were aiming for...a unique first person view adventure... which is why they don't include a 3rd person view.

  Are you kidding? I love it. Very Innovative.

It makes the game unique and immersive.

For, it will be very unique and look great.

I prefer third person view in nearly any game. Only games I accept first person is in the high end shooters, like cod and halo and half life

After reading the previews I'm totally for the first person view.
Loving it.

The game wouldn't be nearly as interesting in a 3rd person view.

It has to be in first person otherwise this game wouldnt have been made

For first person all the way. There's a certain intimacy that's lost in the third person perspective. If you just saw faith jumping around and bein' all acrobatic it would be cool seeing her do that stuff for awhile, but like Assassin's Creed, it would lose it's flair. 

i like the first person. I think they need to get the movement nice and fluid and the gameplay dynamic enough to keep me intrested for a long time. I think if they slowly introduce new moves and more complex enviroments until eventually your doing this mad strung together movements that it would be good for 6 hours or so. I think that the story will play a big roll in keeping it intresting as well. Looks like a game id play through in 6 hours then sell it the next day.

The first person view is great. It seems to be one of the defining features of the game, and I thiink it'll turn out quite well.

hell yeah cause otherwise it's just another crappy platformer

You bitch, you stole my avatar.

If it doesn't suck i'm all for it, something about this game makes me really worried that it may be a total mess.

The Concept's good but granted it is the sort of thing that could be easily fucked up but I think it'll be good I have faith yo :D

I feel like this is the game I've been waiting for my entire life - I often think third person is a cop-out for some games, or features within games.

it sounds pretty damn awesome. if you ask me third person "segments" detract from the immersion and intensity a bit.

Totally for.

For it I love the style and we havent had a good first person action adventure or a good first person game in a while so why not third person  does get boring eventually

First-person, please. It's more realistic and feels more like an experience. Also, I don't want to be a girl! :O

I just saw the new extended video and it seemed like a much better Half-life 1 game in terms of gameplay. I think if Half-life 1 had the features of Mirror's Edge, it would be much better. Where you start the game without a weapon and your goal is to survive. Seeing you body provides more realism, climbing the ladders and jumping ledges, etc.

That's four damn people with the same damn avatar now. :@

I like it it makes it unique like everyone else said also it'll probablly make me sick which is great!

for it, it's fine, BUT THE CHARACTER LOOKS really really weird

For it, dude. The whole purpose of the game is to make you feel like you're really doing all these wild stunts. It wouldn't be nearly as interesting if it wasn't in first person.

The choice would be nice, but the problem would probably be that people would experience a lower level of difficulty or feel more grounded in the real world with a third-person view and so be tempted to use it over the first-person view. However push the player into only being able to use first-person and the usual response is that they accept it and have a generally more immersive experience.

I love 3rd person, but i can live 1st person only

as long as I don't get motion sickness from this, I doubt I'd mind first person only.

Okay, first...that: ^^ is the single creepist image ever.
Second, before I played Condemned I was thinking the idea was whack. Now I'm all for it.

For it.


The first person view just gives it that visual punch.

I like first person more in games like this.
