4) Mirror’s Edge 2
Give the people what they want. Frequently forgotten English rockers The Kinks said that over 30 years ago, but this simple and unarguable idea is – much like them – often overlooked. People have been clamouring for a parkour part-two since DICE’s initial experiment in 2008, but rumours and speculation have always led to nothing.
We’ve recently found a bit of solace in DICE’s Battlefield 4, where a TV commercial in the foyer of a Chinese hotel can be seen displaying the ad “Do you like: to run? Do you like: heights? Do you like: color red? FAITH” Faith, of course, being the free-running, red shoe wearing protagonist of the original.
It may simply be that DICE are reminding us of their previous work, and we’ve certainly seen Mirror’s Edge Easter eggs in previous Battlefield games, but this time there’s a bit more to go on. Like an actual trailer at last year’s E3.
Still, even that ended with the tagline “Coming… when it’s ready.” It’s been a whole year though, so surely there’ll be something to get our hands on by now? Please? Guys? Hello..?
Or maybe DICE are just too busy, what with the endless Battlefield DLC (or simply just trying to fix the damn game).
Or, maybe it’s Mirror’s Edge 2 that’s eating their time up?
