History Trivia / MirrorsEdge

* DummiedOut: PC version contains a whole bunch of unused music as detailed in [[https://tcrf.net/Mirror%27s_Edge TCRF article]].

* NamesTheSame: "Still Alive" is also the name of the theme song of ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'', another short, experimental game.

** [[spoiler:The final confrontation with Jacknife was supposed to be a FlunkyBoss where the player would have to fight a large group of PK officers and then chase down Jacknife's helicopter but it was cut the last minute. Just like Ropeburn, Jacknife has a bunch of unused taunts intended for this fight. A reconstruction attempt can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX4aDu1mkOo here]].]]

* RetroactiveRecognition: Rhianna Pratchett has been getting more recognition for being the lead writer of the 2013 ''[[VideoGame/TombRaider2013 Tomb Raider]]'' reboot.

* ModelDissonance: You can see Faith's bodys to help with immersion, but hacking the game reveals strange animations in third person (such as swaying violently at the waist when balancing).

* ExecutiveMeddling: 40% of Rhianna Pratchett's script was cut from the finished product, mostly in-level dialogue from Faith herself, which was considered too big of a distraction from the gameplay. Given the atmosphere of the game, it's unclear if it was a bad idea or actually improved the game. A vestige of the cut in-level dialogue can be heard in the final level, [[spoiler:the Shard, in the air ducts where "Where is November???" is scrawled on the wall, after picking up the last runner bag in the game]].
--> '''Faith:''' [[spoiler:I was too young to remember exactly how it started. The authorities said the changes were for the greater good... but good isn't the same as right.]]

* OneOfUs: Creator/TerryPratchett's daughter wrote the game's story.
