Mirrors Edge Cancellation

It is sad to see this innovative game (at the time) not get a second chance. The sales may have been poor the first time around but what a game! It definitely was not my top pick of the year but after being hooked on it for a few weeks I realized how there were no other games out there like it. Yes the word "innovative" got tossed around a lot (see above). But it seems like there are just so many sequels out there. And if a new game isn't a sequel then its a virtual copy of another title. I mean how many 3rd person or 1st person copycat shooters can we handle? Mirrors Edge was definitely not a copy, but a reinvention of the first person genre. So maybe it's sequel would have been a copy. So maybe it is a good thing that it got canned. I hope that Press 2 Play is working on another game that is unlike anything we have seen before. Yes there is risk in a game like this. But doesn't EA have the money to at least try? The only radically different games ive seen recently have been in indie and arcade games. The development cycle is shorter and the cost is much less. But seriously, every major title coming out this fall is a sequel. Lets try something new, please?
