I believe this is due to less clutter in its environment. Modern games are cluttered with objects everywhere. Mirrors Edge is just so clean. Came out when textures began to be high res and models had just enough polygons to look great enough.
Amazing run. The entire thing was super entertaining. And that moment at 34:48 was the best moment of the entire run. Still remember watching the "glitchless" run for the first time like it was yesterday, and that little nod to that legendary moment made me so happy
It's so wild to me that this game still looks this good. They absolutely nailed exactly what aesthetic they could do well at the time, and it's always a blast seeing it. Also, yeah, even as a casual player, gun cops are way more of a threat than parkour cops. The parkour cops are much harder to fight, but they're always set up to chase you rather than be in your way, so realistically it's kinda like being chased by Madeline's other half in Celeste's 2nd chapter - keep moving and you're fine, stop and you die. And it's not too hard to keep moving in this game. Conversely, they stick cops with all sorts of guns in your way - snipers, who you probably want to sneak up on one and then counter-snipe the rest, guards with assault rifles, light machine guns, all sorts of nonsense. They'll beat the shit out of you in casual play, even if their aim is a bit stormtroopery.
You can actually defeat the runner cops as well by timing a side dash around the and then disarming. Faith will grab their gun and taze them. Sadly she immediately drops the tazer
I didn’t understand the hype around the first game after i played catalyst first but after playing the first game even compared to modern standards it is wayyy better than catalyst. Game barely even feels dated, the movement can be less responsive but that also makes it more punishing and rewarding. I cant believe they took guns out of the game, successfully flying off a roof and disarming a soldier to then gun down the rest is most fun pve ive ever experienced. The lack of navigation tools adds so much replay ability allowing you to fly through levels on second play throughs. The only criticisms i have for the first game is the basic story and the length of the game but for 2008 i think its acceptable. Truly wish there was a sequel on the same engine
Yoo, what a fun run! Hype! Engaging entertaining commentary by runner & couch. Man, what a game! Thanks for the heads up about the mods as well (Mirror's Edge Tweaks & Map Manager) was not aware of those. Sick!
Im surprised how many speedrunner strats i learned just to get good times in the speedrun/time trial mode. Im nowhere near this good but still cool to see how much i already understand
Great run! The run looks completely different from when I last saw it some years back, really fun to watch :D ME is already 16 years old, but still looks and plays as amazing as it did when I picked up that 360 copy back in November 2008

Man, this game is aging like fine wine. Pure bliss.
The graphics are incredible for 2008. This game was released same year as Fallout 3, only the graphics in that game look dated as hell now.

Love a good redemption story, ditch the glitchless and embrace the glitch!
What a genuinely nice runner and couch. Lovely watch. ❤
So, you’re saying it’s a glitch?
came here for this
Dudes face changed so much I almost didn’t realize it’s the same dude!
@@ragesosrs2293 I know man, I feel like a dad watching his son replay an old game we played long ago.
Is that even him? Doesn't sound or look like him at all
Ehhh, don't worry about it....
Movement tech the last few years have gotten absolutely crazy on this, big ups to the runners keeping it fresh

the little wink towards the camera was perfect too, made me smile after watchig runs of this game for so so long

God, still such a beautiful series of environments. The sewers and mall still look fantastic and to this day.
enjoyed this video very much! So Glad there's still a speed running community keeping the game alive.
I love this game so much.
So its not really glitchless but its glitch less?
DrTChops would be awesome here,hope he is all well
I fuckin love mirrors edge speed runs Jesus christ
Oh hell yeah classic game, I remember being blown away by the level of interaction and pathways we had to choose from
blackbelts a legend and DAMN that headband is SICK
They were NOT kidding with the motion sickness warning gatdamn
Yoo, what a fun run! Hype! Engaging entertaining commentary by runner & couch. Man, what a game!

But is it glitchless??
I think there were a few glitches here and there, but nothing major...
It's glitch less.
Great run! The run looks completely different from when I last saw it some years back, really fun to watch :D
ME is already 16 years old, but still looks and plays as amazing as it did when I picked up that 360 copy back in November 2008
Such a clean speed run, awesome work man!
Can´t believe that this game is 16 yrs old wtf. I still remember the showcase on the Gamescom
That was sick. Love this game!
Great personalities, cool glitches and tech
First time in a long while I watched GDW, don't regret it
Godly speed run and a super cool entertaining run.
Was this glitchless or glitch less? Sick speedrunner who knows how to talk and entertain at the same time
Any% this year, huh? Got tired of explaining why such-and-such a glitch wasn't actually a glitch, huh?
I cant imagine speedruning this with no FOV, idk how they can stand it
If I had never seen this game and you told me it came out in 2008, I wouldn't believe you. Idk if I've ever seen a game that's aged so well.
Don't worry about it.
And like the good boy he is, he came in under estimate ❤😂
GlichtLESS
Wow, there's sooooonmuch new tech somce the last event i saw this at
Hello nausea my old friend
osrs mentioned in a mirrors edge speedrun? we're so back
Wait, the the gun “clipped” through the wall
this run gave me motion sickness lmao
when I played this a few days ago, I cannot play because it was making me so dizzy 😅
I've never had gaming related motion sickness and I swear when I noticed the stupid warning 10 min in I started getting motion eick
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
No vent punching?
Was that a Glitch ?
I never noticed how full of rats the city is.
are these the same guys from the OG vid? lol
Glitches???
nah i think its probably fine
So is he allowed glitches or is this a glitchless run again 😂😂
More like screen tearing's edge
17 seconds ago is crazy 💀
