EA DICE senior producer Owen O’Brien has told AusGamers.com that the unique first-person perspective game Mirror's Edge, is actually the first game in a trilogy. This statement is quite odd considering the game has not even released yet. Check out the full quotes below:
"The story we're telling at the moment is kind of a trilogy, a three-story arc," O'Brien commented. "For these first couple games, it's all about Faith. It's all about her experience in the world." "I think there's a lot of scope to take the story in different directions, or maybe tell someone else's story," he speculated. "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."
O'Brien also revealed that a level editor was "something we're probably going to [think about] 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," he explained. "If we do it, we want to make the editor as easy to use and intuitive as the game is."
EA DICE is best known for the Battlefield series, the latest of which hit PlayStation 3 in June. Mirror's Edge is a bit of a departure for the developer, being more about fleeing from men with guns than joining their ranks.
As the acrobatic, porcelain-cheekboned Faith, your job is to deliver packages to a resistance organization by running the gauntlet over glittering futuristic rooftops, sliding under pipes, wall-running over gaps and high-kicking totalitarian goons.
Mirror's Edge somersaults onto PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11 in North America and November 14 in Europe.
