Is This How Brink's SMART Would Work in Real Life?

Been keeping an eye on this for some time now, and think I might actually buy this.  My only hope is that they give you a reason to use these moves rather than its just where you need to go.  Still MP looks pretty fun, and I for one enjoy the exaggerated art style of the players.

some times parkour looks cool and some times it looks so fucking stupid

Mirrors Edge is the most under appreciated game within the Giant Bomb crew. The 1st person traversal in that game was incredible.

I just kept thinking "man, I want Mirror's Edge 2"....

Where is almost a budget price? The game doesn't come out till next week.A game that's different (also, it's not  so far from TF2)is exactly what needs to come out, if you want to play a game like COD, well there's COD games for you. If you want to play Halo, there's Halo and Section 8. On and on.Watching the Dev interviews it seems like they basically started with a list of things that ruin MP and have tried to address them. By default voice chat is disabled, Snipers are gimped (cry me a fucking river, one person having fun trolling a match isn't balanced gameplay, don't care how you cut it), K/D ratios removed because they're not the point, and an AI Director that's pretty similar to L4D's in terms of reacting to what players do and adjusting things. "

I know they're trying to pump the idea of more natural movement through the environment, but this seems pretty random...

The real thing look great, the game just looks bad.

The only real discount anyone may have been hearing about is from Direct2Drive, it's not an across the board price drop.

Average shooter is average.

I don't really care about brink... but i'm totally going to the site advertised in that vid to watch more first person parkour... also mirrors edge wasn't that good, sue me for not enjoying it.

Mirror's Edge is a brilliant fucking game. those parkour videos looked like they're taken from a ME movie

Yeah, I want Mirror's Edge 2.

In reality is that you cannot do parkour while carrying weapons and shooting at the same time, unless you have four arms.

Let's fucking do this.

GIVE ME MIRROR'S EDGE 2 NOW!

" Parkour is cool but everytime I see like a 14 year old kid practicing on stuff in the town I always find it super funny. When people are scaling buildings in ingenious ways it's amazing to see but when it's a kid jumping from a 2ft wall onto a 1ft wall it's not quite the same. "

I hope my PC will run this. I have been looking forward to this game for awhile now. Dam you over heating graphic cards!

This is not the right music for this

Cosmic and Fragonard know a good game when they play it! I loved that game too.

" Brink is gonna stink isn't it? "

I'm getting that distinct feeling.

Oh well Dirt 3 for me then.

That wasn't very impressive by parkour standards.

Mirror's E...oh, never mind...

Game looks incredibly fun, makes me wish i had a gaming PC because i can see how frustrated i would get playing this with a controller.
