Topic: Parkour in another game...sorta

[7th__Samurai]

Entertaining little game that possesses many elements of parkour/free running
Basically the character is being chased by something through specific environments and has to escape using only his body and the environment.
The character employs forward rolls, cat hangs and leaps, an occasional front flip and in one level uses construction machinery to aid in his escape.

Not entirely sure if it belongs here but there was another post about a game on this section way back when so yeah, hope its in the right spot.

I died on the slopes while snowboarding. Cause snowboardin' ain't parkour!! That was a good game, it represents parkour well in some of the scenes, except you wouldn't be bouncing off of roofs and tables like that.

The new game and upcoming movie Prince of Persia will feature parkour as well.

Not just a game - they're advertising for the real thing:

wtf pamplona bull running has been commercialized?

[Donotfeedthemax]

I don't think they're commercializing bull running, just deoderant. That game is AWESOME. I can't think of that many ways I rather waste my time.

Yeah I hadn’t seen the site when I posted, but its sponsored by “Sure” deodorant and thus the commercial I guess, but it’s actually like a race/survive course thing that they are holding in the UK.

First you try out at some location and if they decide your good enough you’re allowed to participate.

In the first event 100 competitors will be chased through three stages by 20 people on foot, vehicle and boat.

In the second stage, 100 competitors will again be hunted by 20 “predators” with night vision and laser tags and competitors will have GPS to navigate the woods with.

The thirds stage pits 100 competitors against 10 bulls in a race to the bullpen.

And the final event is a mental competition where it seems like if you do not solve the puzzles in time then you’ll be in a real bad position when they let the bull out.

It seems like a cool concept and I’m sure being a traceur would help immensely but its also about stealth and wits because you would have to evade something that has the clear advantage over you I.E night vision goggles.
