Elegant Technology

Recently I purchased a copy of one of the most elegant and innovative games for PS3 that I have seen or played in a long time. The games title is Mirrors Edge.

Mirrors Edge is set in a city of the future complete with blue skies, clean streets, and stunningly realised modern (futuristic) environments.

The game play consists of running, jumping, climbing, and sliding through these visions of perfection as the story unfolds. You play the character Faith, who is a runner; a courier of sorts, who delivers packages around the city whilst avoiding police attention.

More details of the game can be found elsewhere. What I wanted to focus upon was the look of this game. Its stunning. Especially when high up and looking down onto the streets and buildings below.

The interiors (those I have seen so far) are, for me, what we should enjoy now in real life but seldom do.

Perhaps if I weren’t a fugative in the game I could move about this clean and bright city of the future and imagine what life could be like.
