I think...

We should be able to do these things in-game.

If only the cinematics actually represented the final product. :confused:

Great sample of parkour, Reanimator. Thanks for the heads-up.

(Reanimator) #5

This is pretty awesome too, kind of reminds me of Brink, (minus the actual fighting).

(Grimi) #6

Operatives should be able to blend into the environment like THIS!

Why would you post a video from the new Prince of Persia game?

Seriously: That was awesome, some of the best flips and free form running I have seen yet. His thighs and calves must be monstrous with the amount of momentum he can generate from them.

I would love to do this with the Heavy class!

Not impressed at all. I can do those things and much more without even trying… just wait till September and you will see what I mean :).

Real parkour purists frown upon flips or other unnecessary ‘show’ moves.

(Bezzy) #10

I dunno. Internet angrymen do lots of fighting about what’s parkour vs. what’s freestyle vs. what’s freerunning. Theory fighting. Whatevs.

But the people who are actually good at this stuff? I think they believe it’s all just movement, and don’t worry too much about what category it fits into.

The names are just a boat used to cross a river, but once we get to the other side, we leave the m behind.

2:19 is great as it actually gets you somewhere without all the nonsense.

(Reanimator) #12

Well to me all of Parkour is quite amazing whether it’s flashy or not.

(Joe999) #13

3rd one makes you wonder if that was human

(tinManz) #14

Whatever you call it , it looks awesome, to bad your average video game cant do this…oh wait :rolleyes:

(Nail) #15

although the cinematic trailer shows some things you may not be able to do in game, it was done with the game engine so it may be possible at some time

(tokamak) #16

No way that was done with the game engine. I’m sure we’re close to games looking that, but not Brink.

(digibob) #17

Yeah, that was done by Blur :slight_smile:

“Go Brigh side, Luke” © or in short, both things are funny, but Evil.
point is to pick up/refine/refuse/fuse/blend approaches, which balance immersion/funstuff best.
so “don’t hurt existed mecanics 1st, innovate only then” was mandatory.

sure, developers can try do Microsoft/Valve “crazy vodoo” like “blow things apart with nuke and start building house from roof/windows” or “plan? management ? advancement ? just do it up ?”
but its considered bad practice in industry “in general”, unless you company was backed by similary–scaled resources.

thats why making “hard-shaped” products, not only entertainment ones, was hard and tricky/dangerous.
and thats why SO important to make things balanced on client/customer-side.
let buyers adapt products upon their needs !!
you stuff can’t do that ? then you fail. eventually.

I stand corrected, Blur did a great job btw
