Rumour-Mirror's Edge 2 is Xbox 720 game, uses Kinect 2.0

[Sub-stance1]

Charge your saltshakers, gentlemen, for we have incoming. EA is developing a sequel to cult hit Mirror's Edge for the next generation Xbox, according to alleged industry insiders. Due to reveal at E3 2013, the game will also, reportedly, allow you to control returning heroine Faith with Kinect gestures.
For those unfamiliar with Mirror's Edge, this is basically tantamount to claiming that the next generation Xbox will feature an extending motorised prong, specifically designed to give people hernias. Mirror's Edge is an activegame. If you're not in the habit of leaping off cranes, click away before the merest thought rips your groin in half.The rumour comes care of Dual Pixels, which also claims the next generation Xbox will feature a controller with a detachable touchscreen. We're a bit suspicious about all this, frankly, but Mirror's Edge Kinect is demonstrably possible. Watchthe video.

Both EA and developer DICE have made a habit of dancing around the subject of Mirror's Edge 2, insisting that the franchise hasn't died a death, but unwilling to discuss how it will continue. "We haven't killed Mirror's Edge, we're actively looking at how to bring it back in the right way," EA Games Label boss Frank Gibeau commented last June.
"We love that franchise, the DICE guys really created something special the first time round and you've got to have a big idea to be able to do the next one and that's what we're working on."

Wish it would have come sooner. I think a Kinect mode would be cool where it's on-rails running and you have to use your body to turn corners, slide under things, climb over things, fight, and leap across gaps.

Would be a nice launch title.

Especially if they can up the graphics.

The original looked great. I wonder how the sequel would look using Unreal Engine 4.

Sounds like Mirror's Edge 2 will be bad ass. Not sure about Kinect but i want this game!

[Mael Duin]

I just hope this game won't be one of those "on the rails" thing. Well, we will see.

Using Kinect 2.0 which would be more advanced than the present Kinect I kind of doubt that they would go the route of just making it a cookie cutter on the rails game. At least I would hope not.

Like what? The extra processing power alone will increase performance.

[YoungMullah88]

this is what gaming has come to?

[Naxi]

A sequel is long overdue.

The next xbox will have a much faster CPU/GPU and more memory. Mirrors Edge 2 may be the title to kick off core titles for the next gen kinect.

With the extra processing power of the next gen xbox, Kinect 2 is gonna be sweet. Can't wait to see the improvements.

[Kuro]

Yea, Its called innovation. It happens from time to time.

It certainly would be interesting, although the sequel is most likely using tweaked version of Frostbite engine.
