Finally had the time to sit down and watch this - really well made, and brought up some proper emotions from working on the game. This was a very special project, and the team was absolutely fantastic to work with. Still intensely proud of having worked on this game, and sad that it didn't get more attention.
Thank you! Yes, this game really deserves more attention. Luckily, the community has grown a lot (like 4-5x based on my estimates and reddit's statistics) since 2016 and is showing no signs of stopping, and the recent Steam release provided a huge explosion of activity! Maybe one day, the game can have all the recognition and attention it deserves. We, the community will keep doing everything we can to see to that!
Been a fan since 2009. The artstyle, parkouring and platforming in the 1st person makes this game series so unique and timeless it will live forever. And maybe Ray Tracing tehcnology getting more widespread will inspire for a new Mirror's Edge project in the future ;) I surely hope so.
Don't sell yourself short, millions of people have played MEC and it still has a diehard group of fans :) It's an incredibly underrated game, many critics didn't understand it's not a game designed for everyone, and it's all about the RUNNING and level design, which you guys nailed perfectly.
@@mirrorsedgefan Yes this game is so deep and lifechanging for me, and i hope there will be another sequel based on the story of ME Catalyst but with improvement regard the city cus it seemed dead, more access to the whole city of cascadia and more access to the ground and same voicing to the characters. But overall i am emotionelly attached to Catalyst and its story. Faye Kingslee did a good job regard her character - Faith connors
Catalyst will always have a special place in my heart. I’ll never forget my first time playing it and being in awe at Glass’ beauty and the zen-like experience of running. I still play it to this day and I’m glad there’s new content of it still on RUclips
MEC is "all about Faith" so maybe that's why other characters are so generic lolz, I would love to find out if an original concept of the story was any deeper. Learning that Elysium building actually exists - wow, what a shocker, I must see it in real life some time in the future. Nice documentary, I'm lucky to have watched lots of MEC-related videos lately so this has been recommended to me. Thanks for making this! It shows the game is not dead and indeed has some live fanbase.
One of my favorite video games of all time, seeing how Catalyst was just in its barebones phase up to its final product really is damn fascinating. As someone who aspires to be a game dev in the future, this really inspires me so much. Thank you for making this awesome video, really well made!
If you're a future game developer, I suggest watching MEC-related talks on GDC. Just search "GDC Mirror's Edge" on RUclips and check them out. There are interesting videos about lighting, sky, physically based rendering, color correction.. many things
This is amazing. Feels like I’m watching a film. So many cool details and “secrets” about the game. I love what slicedlime said at 7:35. Across Regatta Bay, there are buildings that you can run around on, which makes me think they used to be places that were taken out of the game
A fantastic video that was filled with some really interesting stuff and a great soundtrack too. I would love to see more, if it's possible. I (like pretty much everyone here) absolutely love everything about Mirror's Edge and it always makes me so happy to see new material being made by the community, be it artwork, remixes or videos like this one. It's such a good feeling to know that other people love something just as much as you do and it always fills me with hope for another installment in the series, as I always think that with every piece of new material created by the community, that it shows EA the love that Mirror's Edge has and that that love is hard to ignore. Again, high praise goes to everyone who was part of the video and here's hoping for another Mirror's Edge game in the future! 👍
The only good news so far is they never squandered hope for a third game. If the hints from DICE's social media are not a joke (April Fools apex legends charm is a real object) then we could see something soon. I have faith. #BRINGBACKMIRRORSEDGE
Un-believably well made mini-doumentary! It's great to see someone else with such a great passion for MEC. I came across the Catalyst theme song again a few days ago and immediately had to stop everything to experience the rush of emotions it gave me. Solar Fields and DICE did something very special with this game. I'll be here when ME3 is announced ;)
I cant believe I didn't see this, I love this. I'm so happy, thanks for making this film. So many other niche titles could of had someone like you, I'm glad it was mirrors edge.
Ohhh maaan, this documentary reminds me of how much i want a third entry. I know it's unlikely, but still hoping 🤞. Good job, this was very interesting !
I wish they made a sequel to the original Mirror's Edge instead, but I'm still happy with the game we got. I really hope we haven't seen the last of this franchise
such a beautiful video. thank you so so so so much for making this!! i was so excited that y’all were making this and i’m so happy with how it turned out!! i can’t thank you enough for this. thank you. ❤️❤️
Very underrated video. It only got recommended to me now but glad I saw this. It's always a pleasure to see inside game's developement and hear comments from the developers. It seems this game went through a sort of developement hell. The signs of unused areas were quite obvious since the day one. But to see the map was so heavily inpsired by a real life district of Tokyo got me surprised (I knew that Glass has lots of Tokyo inspired architect) Now I want to visit that area so badly :D great video!
Yes, but not even the best music that I've heard in this video tbh XD your remix of still alive is awesome, sad to see I couldn't find it on yt, did it get flagged or something?
this is insane what EA and Dice makes for us. I ll paid easily 1000 $ and more if they want that much / inspiration is everywhere. Thank u EA and Dice for everything
MEC Is one of the game I'll come visit later when I have even more powerful computer, Just to see those beautiful graphics again but in HD this times. ME Is one of the game I'll also come visit to create custom map to succeed my own younger dream. By the way, Great video bro!
They actually did talk a bit about the rain effect you see in the Release mission in the developer stream, check it out if you haven't: ruclips.net/p/PL4ZS2guXqa_gQOEP45h86pg5PE8pR16nq
Amazing video really underrated, though I was watching a video from a company itself, but the world record for "down the rabbit hole" is a bit outdated but that doesn't matter at all, I'm excited more from you!
We chose to link that video of Down the Rabbit Hole because that was the one we could find. If you know of any videos with a better time, I would love to see that! Anyway, we wanted to link that because I'm playing the Dash badly on purpose in the video (attempting to simulate the experience of someone trying the booth demo for the first time), and we wanted a fast run of it available as a reference for those who wanted to see that, not necessarily the current WR.
@@mirrorsedgefan I don't want this to seem like self-advertisement but I was really inspired and this looked really interesting and I started grinding and managed to beat it ruclips.net/video/8AfvIR6WCH8/видео.html But I get why that was the case, have a good day!!!
@@CodeNameMeteor Wow, impressive run. Nice job! I also figured noone was still running that time trial since it was created back in 2016, heh. Cool to see that it's alive and well :D
@@mirrorsedgefan Thank you so much!!, Well now it's dead the run won't appear on peoples maps anymore unfortunately hopefully with this video maybe it will, but yeah very fun time trial with some super cool boosts
One thing missing from this game is the option to remove KSec presence post ending. Might be no challenge but for some of us who just want to peacefully run or do photography in The View, it would be an amazing feature. In fact I bought this game as my photographer's senses persuaded me to :D
Actually, in addition to the aforementioned mod, there is also a trick you can use to disable their spawn: Start Time Trial Creation mode and place one checkpoint. That will remove any existing KSec units and prevent new ones from spawning in until you cancel that mode. On PC you can also follow this up with the console command: "UI.DrawEnable 0" which will disable the UI, as the Time Trial Creation UI is a bit big and not what you want to see when you're just using it for this trick. The console command is not available on PS4/Xbox of course, but they don't have a freecam mode (like Cinetools or Ansel) anyways. The mod is definitely the recommended way to go on PC, though, but for consoles at least you have the TT creation trick handy!
Part of the initial idea pitch for Catalyst was that it was going to be a reboot, so I would say right from the start. It was pretty much required for it to be greenlit, because EA demanded that DICE would come up with something that was not too similar to the first game, as the first game was not the success they'd hoped for.
I really enjoyed Mirror's Edge Catalyst, but I did not like the decision to reboot the story. The story from the original Mirror's Edge was fine, and the developers could have built upon the world they already made. For instance, the fact that Faith's sister (Kate) was a cop, and Kate was framed for killing a mayor could have certainly been explored in a sequel. Who ordered the kill? Why? Why frame Kate? If the reason was to ruin Kate's reputation by making Faith--and all runners--look bad...well then that angle could have been explored.

Cool video. I would be interested to know if the sequel that was cancelled in 2011 was being developed by the same team as the first game.
I think they're not the same team. After that many of the original members of the team left DICE and the new ones makes the reboot MEC
To some degree, yes. I know for a fact that some devs were involved with ME1, ME2 and MEC, but very little is known about who actually worked on ME2.
you sir are amazing, like a professor of mirror's edge
thx:)
THIS IS SOOO GOOD
