Hello all gamers! I started playing this game on PS3 yesterday and can say that the game is worth buying the original. The story is quite interesting. It's about a city where people chose a comfortable life and sacrificed their freedom. This city is now the perfect city but some people denied to accept this lifestyle and became runners. The main protagonist is Faith,a runner and we have to advance in the story with her only.
The graphics and physics are superb! So is the gameplay with all the hopping and running. Very little meele combat is there. It's all about running and jumping.
All the discussion related to this game can be done here. :D

What an irony ? Do we see people like her now ? lool
It already has started and you will see many paraller real life stories when we reach the saturation level and it starts to overflow.

Btw I don't play such games, as I know it will be my job after sometime. :D

^^Yeah like govt snooping over our PCs.

BTW,the game seems to be pretty long. I've played for about 3 hours now and only 2 chapters completed which is 8%. Long way to go Faith :D

^^Government will find a way if there will be no restriction from its denizens. And thats apparently visible that people are living on a lower level of survival where luxury is all that matters. Only a few stood over to face the winds of freedom, but still they are blamed like Harry Tuttle (a man consumed by Paperwork).

I liked the unique gameplay but expensive like any other new games... $50
Will wait for price drop or probably some Steam weekend in the future..

Shooting and all is a bit tough,the game emphasizes on the acrobatic skills of the runner.
Btw PS3 graphics are also like that.

^I have read that the PC version looks better...especially the textures and blur...And if you have an nvidia card, then this game has physx enabled...chek out videos on youtube with physx turned on and off.

For the people in Mumbai who need a legit copy of this game, it's available at Alfa @Rs.800. My friend just picked up his copy.

@Amit: Yes that's the PC version.

Anyway just got hold of the game & well I'm very happy that after such a long time, I feast my eyes on a optimised game. Two thumbs up to you EA.

The game looks gorgeous. It's so shiny that it's almost blinding. I am currently playing it with the highest available settings @1280x1024 & with 8X QAA applied (PhysX OFF) & am able to sustain 62fps on most occasions. It rarely drops to 45fps. It's a widescreen game so expect those annoying black borders on the top & bottom.

As for the gameplay, I've just completed the first chapter & it's sh*t as hell difficult. This is the only game where I died/failed a lot in the basic training session. WTH! :confused:

The combo strings for free running is a bit difficult initially & without any map you'll be left to find the way on your own. You can press the 'Left Alt' button to guide you in the correct direction but that too is very vague. Melee combat is all about timing. You can't grab an enemy's weapon unless you time it right. You can head into slow mo & then pull a combo, which is a neat move. The free running part is the most dicey stage. You'll need to know all the combos to time your jumps, falls & slides properly. Else you'll end up just like me, DEAD.

Patience is the key to this game. The concept is very unique & being in first person makes it even more challenging. I was pretty comfy with my mouse & keyboard, which I didn't really expect. But the game is surprisingly good.

Here are some screenshots from my rig:

Installing it. I was following this game's news for quite sometime now. Happy to see that its optimised :).

Installed it and played. Game is amazing so is its optimising but it crashes every 20mins. I read on a forum that the 1.01 patch solves it. Downloading the patch now :). Game is awesome.
