Kudos to EA, this looks ACE! If the gameplay keeps up with the looks this will be a great ambassador for iPhone and iPod touch being a serious and proper gaming platform...and an instant buy for me personally

Wow... I didn't even know this game existed, and I now see where Canabalt was ripped from. I agree with the points about the flash version. It would have been a perfect fit on the iPhone. But I can't complain about them at least trying to do a 3D version. If they can pull it off, I'll definitely buy it.

Hell they could have made an awesome first person version of the game. Something like a momentum based game where you're always running forward, control horizontal movements with the accelerometer and jumping and combat with two or three touch buttons. Could have made for a cool experience. Plus, not to knock Mirrors Edge graphcis, but their simple style would have translated incredibly well to the iPhone with such a small screen.

One thing I've learned about iPlatform game marketing is that screenshots almost always look worse than the actual in-game graphic. Most of that jaggedness will be unnoticeable once the game is in motion -- compare CoD:Zombies screens to YouTube footage. Can't tell from the info here whether the game will actually be any good, but even from the pretty terse description there already seems to be more to it than Canabalt. The first screen shot suggests that you'll be able to move sideways to a different platform level, and there's of course some form of combat involved. Perhaps it's a matter of seeing a glass half full or half empty, but I'm cautiously optimistic about it. (Not to say that I wouldn't love to see the Flash game ported as well.)

A different game, yes. But a fun onw? No way to say right now, so I’m not assuming the worst.

I'm not saying that copies are best, I am saying that Gameloft do such a good job at copying that you turn a blind eye to the fact that they have been copied. Gameloft pwns all.

Who could have guessed, that the second post about an game by EA is full stupid flaming. How can you judge now that this game will suck, when you have nothing but a handful of screenshots?

Mhh...probably the same way, you were saying that the graphic doesn´t look good. The iPhone/iPod Touch doesn´t have a DirectX 10 enabled GPU, so if you want visuel high end gaming experience get an XBox 360, PS3 or PC.

i doubt it... copies aren't really better than the real thing. Doesn't mean they aren't good, though. Just that when you have the real thing, why take a copy?
