Topic: Parkour TV game Show?????

[Adrianortiz]

Well I got home from doin parkour.Got somethin to eat and sat down and turned on some tv(Sci Fi channel).
Then I heard a narroater saying (there are ones that are born to run and ones that are born to hunt... together they are explosive)
And as this whole narration there is a guy running away from guys in suits and he kong vaults then he slides on some tile and jumps off a building and keeps running and leaps over some guys in suits.And another narration(Either you can get rich or get caught).. The new sci fi realitey t.v show ...CHASE.
I think that it looks good but I want to see when this tv show comes out.Has anyone ever seen commercial..I tried to find a video of the commerical to put on this thread...all i could find was the video of the commerical being filmed.. Ill try to find another.

G*d that is sick, when he falls. It's not even that bad but you hear his head bounce off the street.

This sounds interesting btw. Keep us updated.

Trey Farley has been set to host of Sci Fi Channel's new reality series Chase.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chase (previously "Cash or Capture") is a real-life video game tag competition played out in real time over 60 minutes throughout Los Angeles landmark locations. CHASE, hosted by Trey Farley, can be best described as a live ac-tion video game with participants being hunted by “agents”, that look like something out of The Matrix. The game is played out in real time all over Los Angeles.

The six-episode series, from Buena Vista Prods. and Realand Prods., will premiere Nov. 11 at 10 p.m.

Thanks for the help. I was trying to find a good video on youtube.It looks interesting

[Holland Wilson]

I want to play this, but I don't live in LA or anything, so I'll just have to enlist local traceurs for games of tag.

[Adrianortiz]

YESSS... I finally got some video of the game show... It just came out on sci fi.com.... I dont know.. I think this game is kinda complicated and seem entertaining but it would be better if it had a traceur or two or atleast some good runners instead of amatuers... But still good I think


Heres the video..

This is really tight... I wanna do that haha.

[Steve Zavitz]

It was actually kind of lame.  There were a bunch of average people (definitely not athletes, even though some claimed to be "athletic") either walking slowly or complaining about something.  They should get some of the guys from Tempest to play, I bet they'd give those agents a run for their money.  Also, why do the bad guys always have to wear suits?  They're so impractical.  Sure, Tyson or PKGens can pull off some awesome stuff with blazers and slacks, but it's the last thing any of us would want to train in.  Ever since The Matrix, everybody clamors for the three-piece-suit bad guy.

[Alec Furtado]

Well the whole idea is AWESOME. It's kinda like playing fugitive but more game-like/organized. Yes, the whole way they did it was lame. I definitely wouldn't last as an agent without cracking up. People are pretty much like that in every game show so I just ignore it... and imagine it my own way lol.

[Adrianortiz]

Yea it did suck in ways... Thats why I said it need to have more real athletic people or actual trecuars...
And the whole agent thing does give it a meaning.. Because if u see a guy in a suit walk around the corner... That second u just shit yourself and start running like hell.. Yea they could have done a different kind of uniform but what else could they have done to give a really good persona to the meaning of hunters.... And yea there average guys but everyone is a average person... if they had a olympic runner then that would for sure have them loose money... But thats only the first episode.. Lets just hope more qualified people join and they pick better venues for the chase... We can only see....

It seems you can play in teams.

Picture this team.

Levi, Jereme, Frosti, Skipper, Leon, Cloud, Travis (just to mention a few from APK)

Thing they would kick ass.

I would be down to form a team and go for real.

[Ozzi]

Actually screw that, I want to be a hunter. buahahahah.

[Ozzi]

I watched the whole thing, kept looking for what to do around pk wise. Pretty interesting concept. Needs some re thinking though. I wonder if you can climb and stay on atop.

[Aaron Neale]

if they can hop fences, it would be real fun. And yeah it should be less whining and more physical.

[EpicMovement]

Lol. what if...

"In this special edition of Chase. The runners only have to face two hunters...

Easy right?

Wrong... These two hunters just happen to be David Belle And Sebastian foucan.
(Nuff Said)"

Epic fails across the game =]   

[Spencer B]

I bet you that if you're a traceur they won't evn let you play. (Do I even need to say why?)

[Adrianortiz]

/\ LOL I bet.. but you dont tell anyone that untill the game has started.... YUP

[Corey Cedeno]

One of their Hunters has "Parkour" listed as his special ability.  Hope he's good.

[Holland Wilson]

It wasn't as hardcore as my initial (naive) optimism would have had it, but it looked like a hell of a lot of fun. I would most definitely play if I got the chance, and not even for the money.
