Without too much to say about this: first trailer of Dice/EA first-person parkour game Mirror’s Edge, the best of part of which is by far the music. I’d still opt for the Tony Hawk Pro Skater-kind of TPS solutions but anyways. Eat this with a grin.

Looks sweet, but my only problem with it (from the trailer anyway) was the cop fighting scenes. Maybe it’s just me, but as the brother of an officer of the law, I don’t feel this portrays a good image. Why couldn’t it just be people after you or something else? Is there a storyline? Maybe a good reason WHY this character is fighting the cops?
yeah, there’s a reason, It’s like a totalitarian city and their after her for delivering valuable info or something.
the depiction of law enforcement in fiction has always been divided: you had the bad cops and you had the good ones and you have countless examples of both. i don’t know cops but i hear stories all the time and what boils down at the end is the same: there are good ones and bad ones, taking this personally would not be a very wise idea.
law enforcement in a future society which bans information exchange obviously wants to incarcerate elements like Faith whose life is about courieering, so gameplaywise cops are nothing more like actors with guns and a cop’s suit. (and parkour movies tend to have this element: slow cops versus fastrunners)
