1 | * CelebrityVoiceActor: Creator/AsiaArgento lent her voice to Faith in the Italian version of the game. |
2 | * CutSong: PC version contains a whole bunch of unused music as detailed in [[https://tcrf.net/Mirror%27s_Edge TCRF article]]. |
3 | * FandomLifeCycle: The ''Mirror's Edge'' fandom is quite firmly in the Stage 2 (CultClassic), as all players who still care about the game love it to bits but are comparatively few in number. |
4 | * FollowTheLeader: ''Mirror's Edge'' is notable for popularizing wallrunning in first-person games, a mechanic that would later be implemented in many first-person shooters to spice up the movement. |
5 | * ModelDissonance: You can see Faith's body to help with immersion, but hacking the game reveals strange animations in third person (such as swaying violently at the waist when balancing). |
6 | * LifeImitatesArt: There is an actual [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shard skyscraper named "The Shard"]] in real life London now. It entered construction half a year after the game's release and was finished in 2012. |
7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: 40% of Rhianna Pratchett's script was cut from the finished product due to ExecutiveMeddling, 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]]. |
8 | --> '''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.]] |
9 | ** Ropeburn has numerous unused voice lines where he taunts Faith, suggesting he was supposed be a full-fledged boss fight rather than a CutsceneBoss. |
10 | ** [[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 at 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]].]] |
