Mirrors edge - 8600gts graphics

[nxtchidderationgamer]

thats the best looking game of mirrors edge i have seen,

wonder is COD can top this?

[potheadpenguin]

I always liked mirrors edge, it's just a beautiful game.

I runs well because it has stupidly high res textures but fairly simply models (because of the buildings there are tonnes of flat faces which don't require many polygons). High textures aren't really that demanding on a computer but polycount really does make a difference to performance. Hence why mirrors edge runs so nicely for what it is. Also runs on unreal 3 which probably helps.

Then there's also the orgasmic radiant lighting...

[MrSerpentish]

It's definitely a fantastic looking game. Too bad the gameplay was about as fun as getting a prostate exam.

[norien123]

Crysis only looks better because of how much motion blur it uses. Mirrors edge needed more.

[capatais777]

crysis is the most realistic...

mirror's bitch is a shit

[Spinjumper]

@capatais777 Wow, Crysis fanboy much? You do realize that mirror's edge is a few years old, and that crysis' graphics aren't that much better... I doubt you've even played mirror's edge. And while I'm at it, Crysis isn't "better" because it has better graphics (not that I'm saying it is better, I've never played it so I can't say)

Gameplay is what's important, graphics just make it seem complete, and help give depth and mood.

[capatais777]

crysis is better

[SuperSaiyain4Man]

DAYUM!

[L00peey]

wow holy shit didnt know it looked this good.. why cant they make all games look like this fking lazy bitches.. and zerG004.. dam rite you all are

[9oax]

ever seen crysis?

[PeejaysProductions]

does anyone but me find mirrors edge rly depressing sometimes?

[ssimraen]

Oh my god? Its not as if you were actually inthe game, You ARE in the game!

[Egotoastbrot]

Holy shit its real life

[hitmanmoneyk]

You can get a 5770 or a gtx 460 and a athlon ii x4 which both are overkill for around 700 bucks. If your pc is just for gaming you don't need an phenom ii or and i7. They are for hardcore video encoding. gpgpu are faster the i7 and their a lot cheaper gtx 460 supports cuda and 5770 has ati stream both are under $200 before taxes. The entry lvl i7 cost $300 and their motherboard cost 2 times as much as amd am3 micro mobo but micro mobo are for cheapskates like me.

[biggerthanlife01]

Holy sheet.

[DJTDames]

@demmpa95 Yes thats better Get it and get me one too :D

[dagrome]

mirrors edge has the best graphics because the art style doesn't require too much color, but even so everything about the way this game looks is just amazing

[RandallFlagg7777]

I will cry out of sheer happiness if the sequel is ever officially announced. This is one of my favorite games ever created. It's the only one I have ever had the will to play through more than once (more than twice, even). PLEASE DICE, make one more.

[RavenWydle]

@RandallFlagg7777 it was announced recently as a work in progress :)

but you dont have to cry, just be excited :P

just type mirrors edge 2 into google or whatever and it comes up as an an EA announcement

[kicekmusialek]

I have the same graphick card but more ram

[gali32731]

better then crysis.

[ph0chiz0]

Such an underestimated title!

[miciso666]

@ph0chiz0 my 3rd game for ps3 wich i got 2 years now and i still play it y? well its so amazing u can finish missions sometimes by taking multiple routes also i believe some missions let u sandbox cant recall havent done mirrors in a week XD been playing mgs4 my 1st game to much bought mgs4 1 month before i got my ps3 was afraid it was going to be sold out

[ph0chiz0]

@miciso666

exactly =D

[TooHuman]

bah, the graphics of my NES are ten times better.

[9MinamiKe6]

I remember how empty the graphics in this part of this level were on the PS3 and XBOX, this is just awesome

[nubblecakes]

I believe a majority of the textures in ME are 2048 x 2048 pixels, which is why it looks so crisp and realistic, despite the strange art style it has (which is quite possibly the prettiest I've seen). Mirrors Edge is definitely a very realistic looking game, but mainly because of this and physx. However, it's a shame that Physx lags like crazy 99% of the time in Mirrors Edge. A DAMN shame.

The one thing I love the most about Mirrors Edge is the pipes. The pipes are so cool to stare at.

[tuppusolider]

and the bump maps are also very well done they are not overdone like in some games.

[janolapino]

@tuppusolider the prettiest thing is the paint strokes on the pictures hanging in the last level I thing... crazy as shit!

[roliletea]

@tuppusolider i play it on a 9800 gt :D

[Puglord99]

mirriors edge and crysis r tied for best graphix

[SuperJumper555]

omg!!! it loks like real life..

[ZeroG004]

only reason I play consoles because i'm too lazy to construct a gaming computer.

[guitarjoeyPS3]

@ZeroG004 the shitty thing is. that the ps3 can do much better, i'm not a hater, but xbox is the reason ps3 have to do it with lower graphics.. thats why ps3 exclusive games look way better than a game that is for ps3 and xbox. ps3 can get really close to a pc, but i guess its harder to make a game for ps3 than a pc

[TheRevolutionPlayer]

gtx295 is the ( except asus mars that is a special model , because there are only 3000 product in the world and it is veeery expensive ... 1600 $ ) best vga EVER ! by the way you should buy another cpu like an intel core i7 that is way much better =)

[stargategeek32]

@IsaacRusselStephen ive got a nividia GT 9500 (somthing like that) and ican play very almost every game at highest settings, the only 1 that isent is GTA IV cas the higher graphics are for future generation pc's and shit, forgot how much it cost

[agtheking]

remember that quad core is not always better. Alot of games can't take advantage of more than two or even one core. If you buy one of the new intel i5 or i7 this isn't a problem since the processor can turn of two of the cores and overclock the other two. If your budget is low buying a dual or tripel core processor with high clockspeed might be better.

[tuppusolider]

well my pc was High end when i bought it and after i upgraded my graphic card it has cost me about 1100€ ( 1 650 US$ ).

and I use both depending of my mood =P

[SethiXzon]

@tuppusolider I'm telling you, this computer is not worth 1,650 USD....

[TedWinni]

@tuppusolider 8600 has never been high end ......

[lizardizzle]

AND this is why I've played PC all my life. It looks WAY better and it doesn't take 2000$ to make a nice gaming rig. Buy a cheap 600$ pc (or use the old one you have), buy an Nvidea 9800gt for 100 dollars and a 500 watt power supply and have a processor of at least 2.3 gghz and you'll do fine.

[tuppusolider]

Yep! my pc is over 5 years old and only thing i have changed is the graphic card.

[kevinkink]

godlike!

[xCmOn3yx2]

it looks a hell of alot better then the 360 version, this makes me want to buy it for pc so i give it a crack with my GTX 260 Core 216 896mb

[OniLinkSword]

Yeah, the 360 version is lacking.

[TongueSnap]

sick

[DXSnakeEater]

O.O Are you holding a camera recording real life footage? XD Just kidding I believe this is real. Awesome.

[tinytimm101]

is this the pc version?

[tuppusolider]

yes

[tinytimm101]

haha that makes sense. I have it for xbox 360 and its hooked up to hd and everything and Ive never seen it look that good. but now it makes sense. those are some pretty looking graphics lol

[SuperMonkeyskater]

Its just really colorful thats all

[tinytimm101]

no actually, the graphics are just really good lol

[gwain30]

that is a great level

[dante13411]

best graphics uve ever seen??

obviously u havent played resident evil 5

[tuppusolider]

yep i havent played it yet

[KneeGrow214]

"i need ammo" CHRISSSSSSSSS

[chrisbballninja]

he said realistic not visual appleaing or nice looking

[danielign9]

hmm, I don't see any diff. between this and my stock PS3. but I guess it'd be clearer if I had it and played with it on. 5/5

[SixflagsExpressionis]

It looks great, also on ps3, but better on pc. I hate that the refletions aren't realtime. You can never see your face on a metal pipe or on the glass windows. That's lame...

[EvilRedGoose]

HOLY FUCK!!!

[30NIGHTCRAWLER30]

I have this game on PS3, I love it. I love the soundtracks too

[MBFtrace]

XD EVERY game looks better on PC, or at least the same as xbox graphics. This guys comp just isnt very good.

[PCGamerXTRME]

omg. i hated that level i kept falling off lol

[TongueSnap]

every game from now on should have mirror's edge graphic, or even better!

[jeffsandychelsea]

this game confused me. i can understand the blindingly white buildings and such, but all the cars (except the green taxis in a few of the levels) and even the PLANTS are bright white....

[Hakidia]

DICE loves their fucking bloom.

[TheKiamster]

They say it's to portray a very sanitized environment. lol

[alexrits42]

I read somewhere that this is because that is how Faith sees the world. It's white because it has no meaning to her. Only the red objects are important. Also, notice how her sister's uniform is a different color than other police uniforms. Same idea.

[Valdraya]

Xbox graphics are better? Are you drunk or just stupid? O_O

[tinytimm101]

haha true dat. xbox graphics arent nearly as good.

[reidmathews]

I really love how far video game technology has come. I remember playing Super Mario 64 and thinking that was so advanced. This game amazes me in every way.

[kdu3142]

but, it could be better! =) it has potential, let's see the sequel!

[SONIXDX]

Wow never actually taken the time to enjoy the graphics since its a kinda fast paced game.

[dguy107]

No Way man, this is real life!!!! even in real life you(ll need a HD cam to do this 5 stars man!!

[Hakidia]

Real Life isn't full of bloom.

[jokamund]

I got this game last christmas and the graphics still amaze me

[DJmunkiez]

ahh kids these days

[babyhui1]

ugh it might just be my computer but when watching that it was a tiny bit slow nd laggy

[mankyman6]

It's not your computer, it's just laggy more than likely from the recording software used while running the game at the same time.

[jokamund]

It's not laggy for mine

[tuppusolider]

yes its little bit because I use FRAPS to record and it realy eats your FPS

[TF2KF]

what chapter is this your playing on :00

[Hadenthekiller]

chapter 8

[MrNoAim01]

I Love my Xbox ^^

[drizz111]

LOL AAX16 COME ON :|

[pro100loh]

i have 9600GT!!!

[3b2a4t0e7s0]

OK!!!!

[XxSkateatonxX]

mirrors edge is so pwnage, most games with good graphics focus on graphics more then gameplay, Mirrors edge focuses on both equally

[kisstothesky]

wow, and it even acts as your eyes for you (blurring everything in the back when you focus on one object)

fucking epic. if only the gameplay as as good.

[Jarren95]

ah, i think the game was epic in everything, for the PC. It was really easy to control. I think the consoles may have had a problem, but it counted on what u were usin. Did u get the PCversion?

[mattwatchesvids]

i have xbox and it's great no problems

[nightlight911]

REAL LIFE!

[thedudeagainsttheQQ]

YUP! :DDD

[KamiKaZantA]

Imaging how you will laugh at that comment in 5 years when the grapichs get even better :)

[tuppusolider]

So true =P

[TerminatorT700]

almost every 2 years is a new Generation of graphic cards. And you always have to buy new G.-Cards if you want real life graphics :(

[account0man]

I think they look better on my 37" HD TV with HDMI for my PS3 and Super White on and everything - it seems brighter on my PS3 and more glowing. I am watching HD.

[quackmofro]

Man, this game is the one reason I wish I have an Nvidia card. Radeon HD 4850 is great, but it doesn't have PhysX support.

[zieba]

Radeon + external Physx card = good.

But yeah, I also have nVidia card.

[qweftr]

Nice graphics

[Cal0wnsU]

Why am i staring at a damn wall when i could be playing my own game?

[sparky275]

I dunno if it's cos of YouTube vid compressions but the graphics aren't as 'realistic' as you say. BTW, I AM watching in HD.

I will admit they are slightly better than the consoles though.

[potato135]

yeah i agree, but at the same time i dont because they do look pretty stunning, just not very "realistic" as you said
