Mirror’s Edge enthusiasts on PC have developed a series of mods that enhance and transform the gaming experience. These improvements range from field of view (FOV) adjustments and enhanced physics (PhysX) to increased frame rates (FPS), higher-quality textures, improved shadows, level-of-detail (LOD) optimizations, audio enhancements, and a more detailed Faith model.

Mirror's Edge Tweaks addon

A tool for modding, tweaking setings and providing game fixes for Mirror's Edge.

www.moddb.com

Supports base game (1.0.1.0) and Origin DLC (1.1.0.0)​

Tool features:​

FOV:​

Allows for a persistent FOV that remains after each level/game restart and doesn't break the skybox (unlike the keybind FOV method). It also prevents the behaviour of the FOV being set to 85 upon dying, and allows for proper affected ADS FOV when using the sniper rifle. The near clipping plane can be optionally compensated based on the applied FOV to minimise camera/viewmodel clipping. FOV-agnostic sensitivity can also be enabled to keep sensitivity scaling consistent across all FOV ranges.

Custom aspect ratios:​

Aspect ratio adjustments can be made by entering your own custom aspect ratio (ratio value or resolution accepted). HOR+ and VERT+ FOV scaling is accounted for when deviating from 16:9. Note: Letterboxing/pillarboxing will occur if the applied aspect ratio does not match the in-game resolution and native aspect ratio of your display.

PhysX simulation FPS:​

Adjustable PhysX FPS value for cloth simulations (flags, construction tarps, strip curtain doors, etc). Cloth simulations in Mirror's Edge are simulated at a rate independent of the game's framerate, otherwise known as time-steps. By default, Mirror's Edge uses a value of 50 FPS for PhysX cloth simulations, which can appear choppy when using reaction time or when running the game above the 62 FPS cap. This tool lets you specify a simulation rate up to 300 FPS.

Graphics tweaks:​

Offers individually adjustable graphical tweaks not normally accessible in-game, such as various post-process effects, lightmaps, render resolution, and more.

Utilities:​

• UE3 console unlocker
• Cheats and trainer functions
• TdGame version selector
• Modded config patch (a nicer alternative to MEMLA)
• Command keybind manager + speedrun macros
• High resolution text/UI fix
• Game language switcher
• PS3 button prompts
• Consistent mouse sensitivity
• Fast start-up
• OpenAL Soft audio upgrader
• Various other QoL

Crazy what you can turn a late 2000s game into these days!


New Start Screen (whole game can also have a high resolution UI)

Anti-aliasing tweaked

Faith's Cinematic Model (as opposed to the original in-game model that was much lower quality)

FOV 110

Anyone have any questions/want to get yours like this? I'm happy to help!

Too bad the game still sucks. Probably the most over rated game of its gen.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

Only a fucking idiot would say this is a bad game. Love it. Needs a third one.

I played the demo and it never appealed to me, but I always like to see older games get fixed up just because people still love them.

 

[John Bilbo]

It's a fun time. I've played it a couple of times on PS3. I bought it some time ago for dirt cheap on Steam. I might be up for another run.

I just played Severed Steel yesterday. It is a shooter game but it has a touch of Mirror's Edge in it's movement system.

You do know you can embed videos here?

 

[MrJangles]

It had potential, I thought it was a clunky mess.

It's a playlist with all the videos.

 

[TGO]

Loved the original, the prequel had major flaws but still enjoyed it.
Shame it's stuck on that generation and Catalyst is a blurry mess as it had no PS4 Pro support.
Also probably one of my favourite game songs...well it's up there anyway

I believe there's a 4K version of this somewhere on the net, not sure if native or upscaled as I didn't look, but I'm aware of it.

Edit: nah no where near 1080p
But it is better quality I guess

 

[Erebus]

Loved it back then. One of the few titles that used colors in that generation.

 

[mèx]

Modders being based once again. It even supports 32:9, it must look amazing at that aspect ratio.

 

[kevboard]

there's a cool mod for the first level where it's raining.

the modder however didn't just add a rain effect,
the mod also adds real time planar reflections to the ground, which look great...



and which makes me wonder if we'll ever get that Mirror's Edge RTX that leaked in the Nvidia leaks...

This is not the way.

[simpatico]

Modern Nvidia cards must surely be able to destroy PhsyX loads like this. I've been in a coma for 5 years, so I don't know specifics, but I bet they can run those phyics simulations at 1000fps.

 

[TGO]

Would really love a Remake or remaster of this, but I'm honestly too scared they'd fuck it up with some woke inserts.
I do think the general output from that particular year was special even if the hardware wasn't up to scratch to portray them at their best.

IMO was ahead of his time. It's an excellent game. I played it on the 360 and it was glorious.

The Duality of NeoGAF

 

[justiceiro]

I'm considering getting a 3060 instead of a 5060 just because of this game...

 

[Shifty1897]

Mods strike again! I love it.

 

[rodrigolfp]

On controllers maybe. It is glorious on m&kb.

NOT 5000 Series ;p

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Always loved the idea of this game, but never tried it on PC with mouse and keyboard, only on console with controller and there's significant jank in controls associated with that IMO. Should give this another shot, especially with that rain mod up there..

 

[SimTourist]

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

lol, pretty funny. Is this intentional banter or what's the context there? lol

Yeah, from the comments they are actually friends and both ME speedrunners, they're making fun of what is considered a glitchless run

 

[RCX]

Always thought the idea of a first person parkour game was one of the few perfect fits for an open world environment. AFAI remember Catalyst sort of tried it but not well.

 

[joeygreco1985]

Too bad the game still sucks. Probably the most over rated game of its gen.

I remember thinking it as very novel and finished it a week after release. But I've tried to go back to it a few times since then and never stick with it. Very one and done game.

 

[LimanimaPT]

You probably didn't knew how to play.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

first game sucked. i preferred catalyst but still wasn't anything special.

 

[R6Rider]

Both titles in the series are among my favorite games. Just such a joy to play.

Something special about them that no other games have.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

You probably didn't knew how to play.

I know how to play it perfectly.

-turn it on
-look at the graphics for 30 seconds
-turn it off
-uninstall

 

[Toots]

Had you looked at the graphics at the time of release, it would have blown your mind, if only you had one in the first place.

catalyst was a love letter to mirrors edge.

i loved it like the first one.

 

[sono]

This is weird I was thinking I want an improved mirrors edge so bad only yesterday

 

[Wonko_C]

Someone please make VR mods for this game and Catalyst. (I've played through the first one with VorpX, it nearly gets there, but it's fiddly and looking around with your head is not perfectly smooth)

 

[HeWhoWalks]

With the updates, it might as well be a Remaster.

 

[genesisblock]

OP should include a disclaimer to be incompatible with GeForce 5XXX series cards.

This is what's truly amazing about communities for titles. Even better, the more code they have access to, the more miracles they work. I love how gamers take this stuff into their own hands and forge ahead, publisher or developers be damned (Morrowind's Tamriel Rebuilt, for example).

Exactly! It's also what keeps PC being the most timeless platform for games!

 

[kevboard]

I wonder how the game would run if someone would add planar reflections to all the close by skyscraper windows and the water.

the rain mod for the first level runs fine on modern PCs, but that only applies real time reflections to a few floor surfaces.
