During the interview, Troedsson also revealed that DICE has been playing with virtual reality headsets like the Oculus Rift. He detailed how the team has been monitoring the mod for Mirror’s Edge that added in Rift support, and the developer has decided that it may not be feasible. “There’s a guy who did it and he says it himself: after a while this is a bit overwhelming,” Troedsson remarked. “You have vertigo and first-person movement. How many people of the population out there wouldn’t throw up when they played that?”
However, the concept of Mirror’s Edge running with Rift support is still interesting, he admits. “Would it be cool? Absolutely! Do I want to play it? Yes! Maybe for five minutes at a time!”
EA showed off some more concept art and a bit of prototype footage of the next Mirror’s Edge at its E3 press conference this year. Nothing is yet known about the game’s story, gameplay changes, or release date.
