Would you like to play a game?



It's pretty sad that Catalyst doesn't look much better than this original game that is 7 years old now.

Why would you need to spend ungodly amounts of money training PMCs to parkour when you could easily just off these runners with some snipers?

I mean the police already have choppers.

If they didn't already use multiple helicopters with machine guns already I'd buy that

Krieg was never shown as dead, and maybe the sequel would be about training Kate to live as a fugitive runner. And there's plenty of space to introduce more characters and add more lore and backstory to it. There's a lot of room to make up a lot of cool story and people and bits in the background of Mirrors Edge City setting.
I agree with the criticism that the story ultimately fails to make good use of its setting as a police state. That doesn't come into play as much as it should. I get the impression that they were a little more focused on the gameplay than the story when making this game since it was a much different game than had been seen before.

The plot isn't much different than your average 'fugitive story' or 'wrongly accused running from the police' deal. The background is incidental.

It does seem like a pretty bleak ending though, since for all appearances the Runners are either dead or working for the government (other than Faith). Callaghan gets what he wants at the end because he gets to frame Faith and her sister for the violence at the Shard being some kind of plot against the City. It makes the Runners look bad again.
