That, right there, better be
exactly how the gameplay works.
For fans of the phenomenon known as parkour, a sport which has participants free-running over every conceivable obstacle, you might want to watch the video above.
"Mirror's Edge" is a new IP being developed by EA-owned DICE studios. The game looks to turn the first-person shooter on its head, incorporating elements of parkour into core gameplay mechanics. Still scratching your head?
Imagine "Assassin's Creed," but played with a first-person perspective.
Now, despite my enthusiasm above, I am still a bit skeptical. EA has disappointed me before with "Army of Two," another highly-touted fresh IP. Not to mention that first look videos rarely reflect actual gameplay.
But the 20-something in me just won't stop screaming like a school girl.

On a less negative, more enjoyable note... I think a game, especially a FPS developed around actual parkour moves would be very awesome. That one video with David Belle beating up/running away from french thugs is exactly the type of game I would like to play. Maybe combine that sort of movement with a Jet Li fighting style and that would stand to be an interesting game.
