Electronic Arts and DICE created two trailers focusing on action for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. Faith’s movement (as well as some of her arsenal) are being introduced in the videos below. As we’re not talking about let’s say, a driving simulator, it’s important that our heroine has to move fluidly between points A and B.
Build momentum to reach top speed and do daring jumps between rooftops or stylish slides through tight spaces. Use the new Shift move and get a short burst of acceleration in any direction. For a quick change of plan, use Quickturn for a rapid 180 or 90-degree turn. However, Faith needs little less than her running skills, martial arts knowledge, and determination to fight the oppression smothering the citizens of Glass. With the Mag Rope, she can latch on to specific points in the world, allowing for unique traversal and interaction opportunities. With the Disruptor – This upgrade of the tech in Faith’s glove lets you disrupt and destroy KrugerSec and AI systems.
What about combat? Combine light and heavy punches to force enemies off balance or to gain an advantage when they’re stunned. Use your environment when fighting to build Focus, and dish out Swift attacks to fight without losing momentum. Build up and maintain Focus by maintaining movement and action. When Faith has Focus enemies can’t hit her, but losing Focus makes enemy attacks hurt more. Once Faith focuses completely, she enters into Flow, a state of awareness that allows you to attack in new and more powerful ways.
The game is out on May 24 on PS4, X1 and PC.
